The Road to Escapism

Once again, another break from blogging. Haha.. not sure why, but lerthargy has been setting in these few days.. Perhaps its the stress from the past weeks slowly coming on to me..

But looking forward, it seems to be pretty much clear skies for me. A little breather before work piles up again. So for now, Im contented with the sweet respite given. Really need to find some way to make use of this period of time fully to recuperate and spend some quality time with her. Sorry dear.. lemme wash away my fatigue first k? Then we can have more fun le.. still owe you a few trips ^^

For the past weeks, there were so many times that I wanted to just run away. To run away from work the stuffy offices the stuffy Singapore urban air the stuffy environment of humans thronging every street and road. Thinking back on my not too recent holiday to Koh Samui, I remembered escape, bliss and relaxation. No troubles. Any talk of work quickly crushed by my fellow travellers.

How I missed it.

Eagerly waiting for the next trip to come. Bali?? Haha.. hoping that that can become a reality for us.. Heh.. lookin at Justin's blog with all those pictures really made fond memories return.. Think me and JR really miss the company being the only ones remaining in the Unit. Peng Yu come back?? ^^ Haha..

Anyways the Youth Fellowship had its Kayaking Event at East Coast last Saturday. Pretty much an escape that I wanted. Sun, sand, and sea. I think I really like the beach now.. Pictures to come!! On the whole, I was pretty satisfied with the event. We all had fun. Really hope activities can pick up so that we can carry on with increased momentum for God.

Stay hungry, stay foolish!

Loke's 21

Haha.. thing today really blog fest to clear my past events. Its been a hectic month, but march is finally over. Now I can rest and slow down a little, to catch up on lost time with her.
Loke's Birthday, held at Yishun SAFRA, was a fun event that saw the regulars (and 1 NSman) get together to catch up. It was nice to see all of them, even nicer to see that after being separated in our various units, the chemistry only NS could form was still very much there. I think I let a little loose that day.. haha.. egging people on. Somehow, I was very relaxed and at home..
Enjoy the pictures!














Us! Ok 'cept me.. (Somehow slanted to 1 side)














Cake cutting!




Lokender Idol! Singing Words by Boyzone ^^


Ben Tan and a strange belly dancing thing.
All of us this time ^^
It was a good time. Thought the mingling wasn't so good with the other guests, I think we were a pretty self contained community. Hehe.. But it was really fun. Happy Birthday Lokender!

Update
Dear All.. I've not been posting for awhile.. haha.. just wanna send out an official apology to all who actually read my blog.

Been really busy these days, running around with little sleep, been outfield, handling contractors amongst many others, running my SECRET project ^^ Indeed, i'm lucky to have this short respite to pen down some thoughts that are floating in my mind.

In awhile, I'll be be back to doing work, this time for the Lord. Haha.. as you guys know, im the Youth Fellowship IC this year, at the same time also involved in other events that the "Church that meets in Jurong " <-- lol thats the right way to put it - is organising. Quite a lot on my hands..

Whew.. work is really piling up.. The only time for leisure in a normal day is on the many bus and train rides which I spend playing my dear PSP. Haha.. can't survive without it man.. Progress has been good for the past week, with a few more new dragons to add to the ones hanging on my wall (no, its only a figure of speech). So i'm happy.

Feeling quite maxed out now. Is this my threshold? My limit? I feel a little drained of both energy and motivation.. What JR said was so true, its good to work on 1 big thing so you can pour your whole being into it and then some, but to spread everything out on many small things is really killer. Think I'm really facing it now. Nonetheless, I feel a sense of satisfaction each time I slap a "DONE" tag on my outstanding items.

Is this the way to lead my life? Actually I'm not so sure. I can't tell whats a good life anymore. Sad.. but true.. maybe the world now is like that. Theres no other way to survive. Gone are the carefree days..

Give me the strength to carry on..
