Promotion!

Good news! I have just received a letter from my Unit in RSAF informing me that I have been promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant with effect from 1st January 2008. The bad news is I have to BUY my new rank insignias and PAY some aunty to sew them on my uniforms! I remember I did all that about three to four years ago! The rank insignias are still VERY new!

Well, I have no choice. It's an order. In Army, there's no "BUT", just DO IT! :D

New Year Countdown in Sydney!

This video clip was sent to me by my friend, Alison, in Sydney.
I think this was taken at the Sydney Harbour during the recent new year countdown. The fireworks there lasted 20 minutes while ours was about 8 minutes.

Orientation Day



Yesterday was my son's first day in school. I have the privilege to take him to school on his first day. Well, it was his orientation day. His form teacher is Mrs Wong. It was a short orientation of less than an hour. The teacher briefed us, the parents, on the day-to-day activities the children will have on a normal day and the most important rules and regulations. The children will enter the centre through the front door, but they will go back home through the side door. So parents will have to pick their children from the side door.

Happy New Year to ALL!

What a new year! A holiday day for me to pack the room. So many stuffs in here! I have this problem of junking up all the things which I could not decide whether to throw or not. Just like my office cubicle last time. I had so many things that I had to chunk them under my table!!! I had to "create" more space to store them over the years. Can you imagine how many items I had to move when I had to leave the school?

I find that everytime I have to pack the room or place, I will only reorganize them. Most of the items are still here, but at different places. There are so many things which I have "collected" over time. They have become my collector's items. Should I throw or should I keep? That's a BIG question mark for me! :D
