Asian Aerospace Fever

Arrrgghhh! Look at that beautiful AH 64D...was my first words...in my head.
It was the beginning of an almost beautiful day. Thursaday, i went alone to the Asian Aerospace exhibition. Uncle Kumar gave me a trade day ticket so i went alone, other wise i would have had to pay $50.
There is a nice thing about going alone...you can take your own sweet time looking at the exhibition, and the displays, taking photos, looking at the babes, getting posters and souveniers.
No one to force you to go here or there, or give you timings...pretty cool.
But there is a downside though, people tend to be less bold when they are alone.
Its the same theory that applies to gangs and teams.

The Arial Display was a big let down, only 2 jets and the A380, the rest were turbo props. And Thursday i decided to leave early. It was just in time though, when i stepped onto the bus, it started drizzling. Then it poured. I just managed to survery the area, and plan my route for the next day.

Friday was more crowded, and i luckily i registered the day before, when there were less ppl...
I managed to reach just in time for the display...just missing the UAV.
It drizzled abit, but just for 5 mins, during the display...many people ran for cover...but i stayed out, looking at the clouds.

So i took my time walking around...taking LOTS of pics (click here and look for Asian Aerospace)
Met a lot of ppl from camp, alot of SAF personnel that day.
All in all, for me, it was a success...and a loss that this will be the last AA in Singapore.
But hopefully, the Singapore Airshow will be better.

P.S. Below is a composite photo of the most beautiful babe of the day...

Hating my Self, Tearing up to pieces cause of my weakness...

Everytime this happens, i wish i didn't have any feelings or emotions. Or i was just a stone wall.
I never want to hurt anyone, i just wish i could express my feelings...shit. Its so bloody hard when she i so far away.
And I am to blame for not having the best self-control, which has landed me in shit now.
Blame me again for keeping to myself when i should have talked to someone.
Now i am the thorn of two roses.
And i just ruined one.

@#*^%_*^

My heart is in a million pieces, broken by my own bloody destructive indecisiveness.

If she was here, it'd change everything. Everything.
*tears*
Sorry is not going to be enough to change things, or repair them.
Im really lost.
Thats it.
Im an asshole and i know it. now leave me alone. thanks.

Confusion-cious

Just when you are sooo sure about someting, something comes along and just throws it into confusion...like dropping a skyscraper into a serene pond!

And you have to decide what to do in a split second...hmm sounds like a pilot's situation.

Asian Aerospace this week...looking forward to it. I hope i get the tickets from Uncle Kumar.
Then i can go...and a camera...sigh, must get it from YD, if he's not using.

Cant wait for all the planes..ooohh...yeah baby!
hahaha!

joshie...........fly away.

Part of my heart returned ♥

A cute little koala came from the land of my birth, with a message from the other me. holding flowers in one hand, a message on writing. I've been waiting for this koala for way to long...5 days to be exact. Im feeling on top of the world...
*sings to the Carpenters*

I am sure. I am sure.

Crazy Cartoons

Here are some crazy cartoons i found...enjoy.

Post Valentines...trauma??

No trauma lah...nothing to traumatise me, except the very bitchy past...hmm. I wonder who.

Besides that, had a great time last night @ C.A.N. cafe @ Liang Siah Street ( the one next to Bugis Junction, with all the cafes and pubs. ) with the gang...nice (over-priced) drinks. But the ambiance was great. Cozy and Fun.

Took a friend out to meet the gang. She is all alone in Singapore for six months, so just wanna make her feel comfortable.

Did you know Google, is launching its own version of PayPal...
of all the *#^_(*!#%_@ names, they're going to call it...

Gbuy

(for obvious hokkien literary resemblence, i shall leave it as it is)

What's next, Gbay???

"Shop on Gbay, use Gbuy to pay"

Its Lovey Dovey Valentine's Day ♥

Its A beautiful tuesday morning...the sun is up, the birds are chirping, and my ♥ is far FAR away from me. Though I want it to be there, I wish my body, soul and mind was with it. Far far away, over the causeway...☺♪♫♀♂

Tonight i'll be with my friends, celebrating Valentine's at a cozy little cafe.

Valentine's is not just about your girlfriend or boyfriend, your wife or husband...LOVE is much deeper than that. Much more variations to it.

The three basic being Agape, Phileo and Eros. [Greek]
Agape [unconditional] is from God to men.
Phileo [brotherly] is between friends/brothers.
Eros [romantic] is between lovers, couples and spouses.

So Valentine's Day is not just for couples, its also for friends...
So for all those idioticaly shallow people out there who sms and wish...Happy Friendship Day...wake up LAH for goodness sake...and stop being a bloody chicken.

If its Valentine's, say Its Valentine's.

Joshua out.

Just at the right time...

Sometimes, when you are so involved and connected with a person so dear to your heart, you are just connected spiritually, even more so if both are in the Lord. Im so glad i called her at the exact moment that i did, and the funny thing was i was so prompted to do so, even a few days ago.
Im beginning to feel more and more like Hans Solo...looking at Leia. To bad she's on Alderan, and im on Tatooine. Sigh.

Well, went to Jalan Kayu to eat prata today. SO BLODDY EXPENSIVE! $2 for a DINO MILO, $2 for a cheese prata, and 50c for a stick of satay? Ridiculous man...im never going there again.

We seriously have to find better eating spots man. Now that we have cars.
Thanks to Gareth, And Bobby. Soon to be Joshua too.

Day 3 - Heart of Worship

Today was Rakhi's Birthday...Her....eh....XXth birthday....lol. im not so mean.
Ever since so long ago...ive been getting vibes. Vibes of a certain nature, that i know she knows i sense, and she wants me to know it. But then again, i dont want to assume.

We had a nice dinner/supper at Simpang Bedok, which was soooo over priced. Satay for 50c a stick???come on man...id rather go to Lau Pa Sat, there only 40c. But the food was nice lah, and the scenery too. Hehe, sometimes im glad im in Singapore and not KL. The minah's here are a more...eh...experimentative.

Well, this weekend ive got a chalet the WHOLE weekend. till monday...dont know how im going to survive.

A distant love, a farther pain, an unbearable yoke. I miss her.

The Adventures of Banglore Boy

This mission trip was a breakthrough for me in the area of worship and music, as well, as a bit in the prophetic. I had to overcome my fear of making a mistake (which i did during my solo)...but i managed to pick myself up and lead worship for the main service in the evening...which im thankful to God for. We as a team made sooooo many new friends and a new family, there in Revival Centre Church. We charged up the youth, and gave the worship team some pointers...and just prayed that the Holy Spirit continue to keep the fire going.

Day 1
Took off at around 1.30am from Changi 02 L, on JetStar Asia. Our flying time was 4 hrs, and Banglore is 2.5 hrs behind in time. We managed to get the window exit seats, so there was significantly more leg room for us with longer legs, thank God. So me, Pat and Caleb were in one row, and we bought some drinks, nuts and a pack of playing cards to pass the time...lol. That was an experience. Anyway, besides all the excitement in flying, and sleeping, or rather trying to sleep, we reached Banglore at 2.30 local time. Uncle Jacob picked us up and we drove to his place where we would be staying.
Oh yes, the temperature was a freezing 13 degrees. hehe. But it was great, seeing India in real life and not in reel life.
We reached the place, unloaded, met his mom and aunt, and the NOISY dog Tagger. Then crashed straight into bed....phew. woke up at 9 for breakfast...down stairs...oh yeah, it was a 3 storey house, one on top of the other...so uncle Jacob's mom cooked a wicked apom...eh....rice cake thing, and we had it with pudina and chicken curry. Then we headed back up to get over the jet lag. We visited a guy named Steve, who had a gym, and was really impacting the town through that gym...and he took us for lunch...ooh, all the yummy Indian food, bryiani, thosai....whatever else yummy thing you can think of.
Then we had dinner at i forgot where...lol
Had a good rest that night...first night in Banglore...cold!!!
OH yeah, we went to CALL CENTRE CHURCH....amazing voices, amazing guitarists!

Day 2
I realise i have SOOOOO much to write.
Sigh, ill make it in point form.

Breakfast at home, relaxed today abit, lunch at i forgot where...i think it was auntie Annanmah who took us out that day...hmm, with Priscilla. It was my first ride in an Auto ( three wheeled taxi). Had another indian feast lol. (a lot more to come ). Before that we visited her husbands polyclinic/hospital and we prayed for most of the patients and staff there. I really cant remember friday....dont know why...hmm.

Day 3
Today was my Big day...two worship sessions, one with the youth, and the other with the main service...I really needed God'd annointing, and his presence to be there.
Anyway, we had a great time...Jumping around like jack rabbits..well, i was anyway...some of them were. But we had a Rockin TIME...lol, then we rushed back , changed, and I had to lead the next service!!! Once again, God's annointing...not me. Was as nervous as a.....um.....i dont even know what i was nervous as. Anyway, that night was a success, in terms of ministry...and friendship

Day 4 - Sunday monrin
Was the Typical Morning service there...with Hymns...oh gosh...i felt so like in an orthodox church. But the after the message...Auntie clare led in a short time of worship...which was a refresher. We made more friends...many more. Auntie Rowena had a short session with the children, during sunday school, and i played the piano ( the OLD, New York made piano). That night the meeting was the best, our team really broke through in worship and some of the people really broke through, which was encouraging.
We had dinner at a Chinese Restaurant about 10 mins walk away...

Joke of the trip...
In India...when someone says "The place is just there only", it actually means, "...go the juncution of a main road, take an auto, travel about 2 kilometers".

Day 5
We started our shopping...
Commercial Street
A Bible Shop
And most of them bought stuff, except me. Thats my style lah.
At night, Pastor Ferdinand (senior pastor there), and Jascile, and Debbie, took us out for dinner, to this great place called Richie's...an Indian restraunt, but the ambiance was soooo middle eastern, and posh. And the Chicken Tikka was MOUTH BURNING!!!!
Took a ride on Jas's bike...Oh what a ride...on that Royal Anfield. But im still never buying a bike.

Day 6
Continued our shopping...
Banglore Central (which happned to look a lot like PS)
Then back to commercial street where i bought a beautiful designer Kurta and 2, yes 2, churidar...all for 3500 rupees. which would be..um SGD 134.00
After which we went back to our place to rest.
Dexter and Jacky took us over to their place for dinner, and fellowship...
Then they sent us back, for our last min packing and getting ready...
Flight was at 3.30 am. And we touched down at 02 L at 10.25

There is one thing about Banglore, the people there are genuine, and the are hospitable beyond measure.
My new friends (family) is listed below...in no particular order.
Chris Yates
Debbie David
Priscilla Thomas
Abigail Thomas
Jerome
Immanuel
Dexter
Jacky
Rebecca

It was a success, cant wait to go back.
