AYOBA!! Its an Afrikaan slang for Joy, Amazement and all things happy! Though I’ve been missing from posting my blogs, please rest assure that I am fine and well. Very alive and always kicking! Hahha~ Ok, I was away from blogging for a long, long time now. October 2010 was the last post I did. Yes, I have been very busy with alot of stuffs. So much so I didn’t have any time to type anything on my keyboard for my blog. I don’t even have time to play my favourite game – Company of Heroes! So what have I been doing the past few months?? Read on…
November 2010 was spent in Australia having Exercise Wallaby, the SAF’s “ritual” trip down-under. The last time I was there was ub 2007 and most things did not change abit. I had a wonderful time there. But when we returned from Rockhampton, news of the terrible flood broke my heart alittle. Seeing pictures of the devasted land I once stepped on left a “weight” on my heart.
December 2010 was busy preparing for the South Africa trip and some local training. And of cos, there was the annual Xmas Bash at the Sins. It was yet another awesome gathering where friends meet up, eat and be merry! That was a season to be jolly~
January 2011 was rather hectic as I helped Hippo prepare some of her stuffs for her house-moving operations. She finally decided to move from a 5-room flat to a smaller 3-room flat. And this time, its not in the eastern part of Singapore. She chose Marsiling, somewhere north of Singapore. In fact, its just beside the causeway. And there’s the usual Chinese New Year prep as well.
February 2011 saw me setting off for my South Africa trip. It will be my last overseas’ trip until 3 years later perhaps. Why so? Cos I have finally managed to secure my Diploma Sponsorship from the SAF! I was overwhelmed! Thrilled to the max! Finally! Yes! I’ve been applying for the sponsorship since 2007 but each time, I was not given the chance. Until this year, my boss really prepared me well for the interview and I think I did well. So for the next 3 years, I will be embarking on a new journey as a student. A polytechnic student at Temasek Polytechnic in Tampines. =)
I just got back from Capetown not too long ago and I’ve until 15 April before I leave my current unit for school. I’m excited. About school, of cos! Hahahaha~ But I’m also excited that I will have more time to spend with Kobe! =D My little boy has just turned 19-months. He’s still not talking our language but he knows what we’re saying. =) If u asked for a “High-Five”, he will gladly give it to u. And just tonite, he did his “flying kiss”. =) I think Kobe is just trying to learn and keep all his knowledge with him. Charmaine says he is acting cool. =) We’ll see. But for now, I will be busy preparing for my school and hopefully I have more time to blog when I go to school.
