Hi Blog,
Sorry for being away for a long time, because last week it was a Chinese New Year celebration week, together with my high key reservist week and foreveralone Valentine's Day. I will share with you some moments of how I spent during those days, long post though.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the Chinese New Year Eve (07 Feb 2016: Sunday), catch up with Wilson, my swimming buddy and bro for a short swim. After 8 laps, (I wished I can do 10 laps, but too bad I can't...) I decided to take a snapshot of both of us, hoping we can slim down in this coming Monkey year.
 |
| Smile! bro! |
 |
Hahaha! his face was puzzled of what was I doing infront of mirror.
well... you are in the picture! |
After swim, I went back home to pack some of clothing and helped up preparing some food for our family reunion dinner - We will be having a steamboat session.
 |
| cutting mushrooms and vegetables. |
 |
| Steamboat is ready! |
 |
| Yummy! |
Have a heavy filling steamboat session, my sister and I just sat back and watched some videos on the smartTV, then after that, I traveled to Aunt Helen's place for prayer.
And like other years, I will burn mid-night oil to draw this year zodiac - Monkey on my iPad, using an app - Sketchbook Pro. I get all the references of monkey online so that I copied then modified.
 |
| MOnkey New Ear! |
You like my drawing? :)

On the 1st Day of Chinese New Year (08 Feb 2016: Monday)
hmmmmm well... as usual, 1st day of CNY, we will visit my mother's elder brother house, where most of my relatives will be gathered. I decided to wear something simpler and plain this time round; since no one bothers anyway.
 |
| yup. Just a hoodie and short. |
I was very upset to see my cousins avoided me in any way, yes I was a bit over-sensitive as they have nothing much to talk to me anymore, or even I wanted to find out more about their updates - their response was short and bland. I am okay with that... but it won't be nice when I was inside the room, you guys stood outside until I stepped out.... Very disappointing.........
well..... at least the youngs didn't fail to make me smile.
 |
| EPIC REPLY! |
Okay I admit it is boring.........
 |
| so I decided to smile and don't think again, until.... |
 |
| I feel great potential future partner treated me as bro.......... |
I gave up; I am not looking for one another already... I have enough of this crap.... I am worse than a bad guy. Just let my stupid and weak genes pool completely removed!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 3rd Day of CNY (10 Feb 2016: Wednesday), my reservist starts!
 |
| getting ready to go back to Sungei Gedong Camp for reservist! |
 |
| SELFIE first! |
 |
| Fitting into my smelly boots. |
 |
| How you like it? |
I took more than one hour to reach that camp and lost in there, carrying the heavy bag. When I managed to find my reservist unit - Armor HQ, I realised that I am the only one who carried full bag. The rest claimed that the letter stated we bring our personal belongings, so I was a fool, but never mind, I just trained myself.
My high key reservist was quite a simple task - I won't need to go out-field or stay-in! So for the whole one week, we simply helped out tidying certain stuff, ensure certain documents and fulfilled simple duties.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 4th Day of CNY (11 Feb 2016: Thursday), we traveled to another camp to have some ideas of our duties on Friday and next Monday! Hahaha... We car-pool together and drove out in snake formation - quite exciting.
 |
| Spot a vampire fly 'riding' with us. |
Half day done! Go home!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 5th Day of CNY (12 Feb 2016: Friday), Our main duty was on Friday - help out at a Navel ship for a celebration. Selected personal including me, were tasked to direct the guests to load on ship.
 |
| bought a red shirt (a bit tight; kind of regret) and traveled to Changi Navel Base |
 |
Lucky I searched online - there are free shutter bus at Tanah Merah MRT
but only Navy personal can load onto this bus. |
 |
| My last shoot for that day because no camera phone is allowed in that camp. |
What an awesome experience, even thought I made some stupid mistakes.... (can't reveal much) but the Encik Warrant Nicholas was kind and explained to me patiently. If I was sign-on or worked in the department, I will confirm continue to be his friends.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 6th Day of CNY (13 Feb 2016: Saturday), home visit to Mrs Yap's house - PVPS Alumni gathering. Mrs Yap had made us a steamboat lunching.
 |
| Preparing |
 |
| start steaming |
 |
| Big big family. |
 |
| they are wondering what am I eating, because I am a vegetarian. |
 |
| spent some time chatting with Zhenghui. |
 |
| adding more stuff into the boat. |
 |
| Wefie after a few rounds of game! |
 |
| Wefie from different angle |
 |
| SMILE! |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 7th Day of CNY (14 Feb 2016: Sunday), I realised that I had been eating and eating for the past few days. This day was a Valentine's Day - Gosh! I hate this day!!!!! Plus I have to eat eat....
 |
| my brother hosted a house-warming at his place |
 |
| but lucky, my brothers (we know one another since 1995) spent some time with us. |
 |

| FAT FAT photo |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On 8th Day of CNY (15 Feb 2016: Monday), my last day of reservist - to ensure NSmen in-pro at the right place, nothing much for that morning. It was a very short service for my reservist.
 |
| Latest shot while I am in green. |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall, I had great and bad times during this CNY but I have to be strong, whatever it comes to me... I have to learn to thanks Heaven for arrangement and apologised for being emotional over my cousins and that girl issue.......... I will try again.
Thanks Xuanyi for sending this meme to keep me reminded that I am not a lousy person.
 |
| I won't wait - If I have it, it will come no matter what. |
Happy New Year to blog. :)
Jeff
