back from Dubai.

well, i am home sweet home now. but i miss Dubai though. and pictures of it are at Facebook. it's so troublesome to upload at blogger.

yeah. Dubai is a great place for holiday. maybe i should come back ten years time and see the upgraded site. because it is currently developing. everywhere is construction. despite that, i really enjoyed my stay there la...

first of all, the cars there are way cheaper so it's no surprise that million types of cars are on the roads there. i can just sit at Starbucks along the road and go crazy with the exotic cars that passes by. haha. superb. secondly, the scenery is fantastic. even though the weather is humidless and hot and no greenery around, it is wonderful to see sand as substitutes as grass. it is something different from Singapore. third, the beach/es are some place you must visit in Dubai. the water is like plain water from far. but when you go in it, you will find that it taste like salt water. they say, looks can be deceiving. haha. fourth, anything and everything, or at least most of the places there are air-conditioned. the reason being it is just toooo hot.

well, the place where i stayed is kind of high class so the standard of living is so high, the things in the residence are so expensive. but Subway was worth the cost. have you tried Subway cookies?, they are Heaven. or so i thought. haha. the malls are almost of the same as each other. so same that everything in it, or at least most of it are expensive. but Dubai is really the land of the possible. my Dad works at the-almost-complete Palm Jumeirah. search it up Google. then the company that made that artificial island, Nakheel, announced to make two more Palm island and one island which is called The World. really, search it up Google.

then they also have the tallest building in the world called the Burj Dubai. they also have the largest mall in the world called the Dubai Mall. wonderful ain't it? haha. i thought so. really loved Dubai. oh ya. and in fact, my sleeping time has ran out of placed because Dubai's time is 4 hours behind Singapore's. so i usually slept at around 12pm Dubai time and Singapore is already 4am. haha. so now is 3.22am in Singapore, where Dubai is only11.22pm. haha. so still trying to adjust to the Singapore timing.

i guess that's the reason why i didn't come for Band practice today. haha. was both tired and could not wake up. =P

so, this is where i end my post. sadly. still haven't meet my friends. =(
and if you want to see pictures, go to my Facebook. =)

Alhamdulillah, i am grateful for everything.

Wow. Five years since my last post. Well, a whole lot has changed in five years. I never knew what dreams are made of and i never knew what it was like to achieve your dreams. Through hard work and pure grit and determination, you can achieve your dream. There will be times where you think your goal is just out of reach or it will take you a longer time than originally hoped for but trust yourself to make small leaps of faith and many unimaginable things can be achieved. As a Muslim, i believe Allah is the best of planners and alhamdulillah, He is the best of planners. There were times i doubted myself about my life and what i wanted to do because the journey to achieve my dreams is taking longer than i had imagined. Five years ago i was still in the National Service serving in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) as a Third Sergeant taking NSmen for Individual Physical Proficiency Test (IPPT) and conducting Remedial Training (RT) as well as IPPT Preparatory Training (IPT). In 2014, i had ...

Fruit Loan Sharks.

For the first time in two years, i went back to the old fruit farm that my grandparents own to help them collect the fruits that are blooming and still continue to bloom till now and tomorrow and till it doesn't bloom anymore. Was freakishly tired from the three hour drive up and back down to SG. Reached SG at about 10 and now is few hours after that. Took time to rest then blog. It was big. The fruits collected were as usual bigger and heavier than 40kg. That is the weight of me. The fresh durians, mangosteens and rambutans are simply tempting. But sadly, since it has already been weeks that i've eat it i have started to feel disliked towards the fruits. Anyways, the first thing i did when i came was to put my long sleeved shirt to protect me from the mosquitoes. In the end, i still got bitten. IDK. Then, walked all the way to the back of the land to start work - collecting fruits. It was only 3 acres of land. Ok. End of story. Today was just about this journey. And i think i ...

950 days and counting.

It's been only three months since i re-enlisted into Specialist Cadet School (SCS) in Pasir Laba Camp but felt like many years. I've been busy with training and juggling time to keep up with my family, my loved one and the outside world. I haven't met my friends for quite some time already, Shall find time for them after graduation.  On the bright side, i have only 63 days left (as of this post) to graduating as a 3rd Sergeant. On top on that, i've only 27 days left in Singapore before my departure to Sai Yok Camp in Thailand for overseas training. I'm excited but at the same time feeling a little saddened to be leaving my loved ones for three weeks or so. Nevertheless, it'll be a new experience for me and something for me to learn from. This post is just a short update of my life just to get the dust off this dusty place. (don't remind me of the outdated colour scheme) Anyway, as the title suggest, it's been a whopping 950 days since 16th Septe...
