happy birthday to me in 2 days time. this years up coming birthday gives new meaning to me or should i say since my 16th birthday onwards, every year i celebrate my birthday with a new condition to life. ok not excatly celebrate. when i was young, i always look forward to my birthdays. i always wanted to tell the world so i can get attention. yup, i loved attention in the past when i was younger but since my 16th birthday, every year is a big jump, like suddenly i have to grow up alot and i started to dislike people celebrating my birhtday or rather i want to play down my own birthday. every year means more reponsibility, more expectations, lesser time to achieve dreams, closer to dying. i am going to be 18 this year but i felt i did little to achieve anything in my life. i realised i always keep looking for achievements one after another. after one is done, do more things. do more things. and some more things. recently, theres this sailing expedition for NYAA gold. joining the sports club, dabbing a little in politics. i would somewhat like to spend my birthday this year in peace though but a promise is a promise friends, so ya........... happy birthday gim kai, time running out, time to do something be somebody.......

Hello

Whats up Blog, 10 years now since i began writing here, the post just got lesser and lesser in the last 5 years to the point where i totally skipped 2014? Well, life's been the usual, the ups, the downs and the flat-lines where one struggle within the confines of life's challenges. 2.5 years since i left the navy, 2.5 years into the business funny how people always learn through the hard way. countless challenges, arguments, family strain and of course the reality of how important money is. i will make it a point to speak to you at least once a month from now on, i do intend to keep till untill they decide to close down blogspot (if they ever decide to) I seemed like yesterday everyone was still the bumbling school children. Today some of them are married, parents to their children. Successful in life, some not so successful. some totally disappeared from the face of the earth. i think i was one of em? lol one thing for sure though, im drinking alot less now (explai...

2013

Hello my blog, my longest friend. its been so long since i last visited you. Im sorry that i did not update you about what has happened all these while. The last post was 2011, i did not realize i skipped the entire of 2012 without a single post. Dear blog, you have been with me for as long as i can remember. a memory of all my life's battles. a testament to the growth of all these years. 2012 was one of my most trying year. i finally managed to pass my bridge watch keeping competency and is now officially an appointment holder, a Navigating Officer. A goal that almost felt so impossible, so diminished 4 years ago. So many major exercises, so many assessments. i almost couldn't breathe. The first few months were more ridiculous having to sail 2 teams due to lack of manpower The learning curve wasn't exactly a curve, it was more like a steep sloop that runs straight up.  Makes me realize, the reason we are put through all these hardship is so that we can defend those we ...
