This time round i would like to share some quotes which i think its nice and good to ponder/think about at the same time to do some soul touching/searching to yourself.

I am only one; but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do something I can do.

Helen keller

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Helen Keller

The best and most beautiful thing in life cannot be seen, not touched, but are felt in the heart.

Helen Keller

“Love is never glad when others go wrong. Love finds no pleasure in injustice, but rejoices in the truth. Love is always slow to expose, it knows how to be silent. Love is always eager to believe the best about a person. Love is full of hope, full of patient endurance; love never fails.”
1 Corinthians 13:6-8

The D-day is killing.

The first day is lost.

The duration seem long and painful.

The afterward is fulfilling and rewarding.

Bernard Ong W.L

那一年 我正年轻

总觉得明天肯定会很美

那理想世界就象一道光芒

在我心里闪耀着

怎能就让这不停燃烧的心

就这样耗尽消失在平庸里。

Sometimes the biggest events in our lives..are defined by the simplest acts we do.

一生要失败几回？ 才知道成功的意义

We value the light more fully after we’ve come through the darkness.

Hope that some of the quotes that i put up today will help you to relieve yourself, to help you to find the answers that you are searching for and to keep u pondering on your life how you can make a different to the peoples around you and most importantly you. There are no right or wrong, its a matter on how longs does it takes for you to find the perfect timing to understand the above quotes better.. = )

As for me i had already understand them thought not fully, but these are the quotes that touches my heart at certain points of my life. So i would like to share them with you hope that it will also touches yours too.

Its has been a long time since i posted on this blog. I decide not to continue on the posting of Taiwan pics but to share on some things else.


I had decided to answer to God calling to take up his Ministry, doing God work.


Throughout, the 2 years of my NS life. I had encounter couples of God Touch and God Answer to my prayers experience. Its just that i resist to accept that he is the one behind all of the miracle, i lied to myself that it was all luck. But deep inside i know that it was not only luck that simple, its some others things else that brought me through.

I came to know about this friend/father/listener/close companion when i was in primary 4, i still remember that day clearly on how i got to know him. i remember that it was a Sunday i was supposed to go to the sharity elephant carnival in ACS(I), before that my aunt need to attend her church service so she brought along my brother and i for service first then to the carnival.
Before then, i had never heard of him in my entire life then, all i know then was only a cross and nothing else. Till that day when i step into his house for the first time in my entire life. I know that he is going to change my life. But i didn't know how until i was in secondary school.

It was all part of his almighty plan i would say, for those who don't believe maybe you can call it fate. I get to know him again after after my psle. I was posted to Springfield Sec Sch, it was a neighbourhood school, i decided to add it to my choices as my cousin was also studying in it. It was on the cca orientation day that change my life, i told myself that i will follow my friends whatever cca they chose. In the end, all 3 of them decided on NPCC. At that moment, i was very reluctant and i couldn't hear in whatever the recruiter say to me. I was so lost and there was this feeling inside my heart saying, "This isn't the one, walk around the school one more time before you decide." I came across this hidden corner area where there is a small grass patch near the then music room for those who still remember. I saw this cca with tents and they were cooking hot dog and the uniform was blue in color. They were giving away hot dog for eating, i wasn't tempted by it at all. what i was attracted to was the sudden feeling of feeling lost no more. I never decide on the spot that it was the cca i wanted, till we gathered back in the hall. My signing up paper was still empty and i needed to hand in. I fill in my 3 choices, Boys' Brigade, Badminton and Computer Club. In the end, i only went for the orientation day of The Boys' brigade. For those who know me, the other 2 choices i fill up was so not match right?

Back to the topic on the "fate". I never know that my choice was a christian cca, and little did i know that the cca was attached to the church that i once step into when i was in Primary 4. My form teacher then was also the cca in-charge. Once again on a Sunday, i stepped into the same church building my second time after 2 years. I get to know Him as a friend in the beginning, i began to find out who He was and how was the cross related to him with my 5 others friends. Fate it may be? For me it is all part of his almighty plan for me to know HIM. This testimonial don't end in me, my brother too was also called to know him. Another 2 years later, my brother came into the same school and join the same cca as me.

It was in Secondary 4 that i began to address Him as Father. I began to pray to him every night and share my troubles with Him. This went on until Poly. Everyone will have a periods where he/she would want some time for himself/herself. When i was in poly i began to slide back, i start to skip church, pray less to him and forsake him. But He had never let me go. Soon i began to find another reason to know Him. I join the primer, thought i didn't stay long but He brought me to know Him through another church from another environment. During that time, i continue my walk with Him through my lecturer.

One of my favourtie song:

What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bare!

What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!

And I'll cherish the old rugged cross

Til' my trophies at last I lay down;

I will cling to the old rugged cross,

And exchange it some day for a crown.

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,

How great Thou Art, how great Thou art!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,

How great Thou art, how great Thou Art!

When i was in army, i experienced many many ups and downs. My most difficult time is when i was in the course to become a sgt, almost everyday i was running my SOC as i can't passed at all. I was so depressed and demoralised and i was injured too. Times where i really wanted to give up and failed the course and be the worse trainee of the cohort. But everytime before and after training when i open up my drawer to get the medical cream to apply.. I would see this brown book(Bible) which i will carry with me no matter which ever camp i posted to. I told myself i will do my best and let Him decide the rest.

Indeed, He answered my prayer. At first, i was posted to the camp i dream of and many would wanted to go. But He know that i would never be able to make it through. On the same day when i was posted in, the Lord God posted me out and send me to my current camp. It was a hectic schedule and the training was almost 5months its was the longest course in the entire saf, but it was the most ideal as i could heal myself of my injury and at the same time i could build up my stamina to pass my SOC. No matter which ever camp i was posted to, i was always blessed with a patience instructor/officer/oc with leader attitude and who believe in christ. At the end of my course i didn't passed my SOC.
The next miracle happened, where i was going to give up He provide me with another chance. I was posted to my current unit at company line to be a section leader at a cost of running SOC till i passed. I go into prayer at night and asked Him why not a admin sgt then? Why must the pain continue. He never reply but i could sense a comforting touch at that moment. Consider myself really blessed, my rsm was the first army woman rsm. Thought not a christian herself but she was a motherly figure to me. In the end, 3 weeks before NDP i passed and i blogged it down. The night before the test i pray to God, i remember that was the fews time i really pray to Him in my NS periods.

From that day onward, i told myself i was never forgotten by Him. He was there for me for many occasions. Whether i am in Australia for training, or when a 25mm live round missed fire that was so closed to me, or when i was in my vehicles that drove up and down on a almost verticle slope, or during my test where everyone have no hope in and yet i achieve a high standard with my last minutes assigned to section, or when i was doing my day duty in a thunderstorm and heavy rain days, or when at night duty where it is totally dark in the forest which almost bitten by snake, or when my entire self is push to the limit on the 3 months of Ops standby mode, or when i was in Taiwan training, or when my deployment ground was next to those who had been called home to join Him. He had never leave me from the day i know Him.

What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bare!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Til' my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou Art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou Art!

Thanks LORD GOD FATHER... AMEN.

Back from my Taiwan overseas trip. This time round i visited quite a number of place in there. Soon in less than a month i will be ORD, i am still thinking of what to do after that. Either study or work. Share with u guy some pics of the place.

I took the same airline again, Eva Airline. This is really a good airline, got pretty air stewardess to serve you. For both in and outbound flight i sat near the door, the air stewardess is just infront of me before taking off so can chat with them abit. This trip give me the opportunity to see their working style and what they do when they not serving any guest. This airline is best, due to the pilot will control the cabin pressure, your ears wouldn't feel the so pressure. The way they fly will let you have a comfortable flight either taking off or the landing.

I when to there outskirt town call DouLiu. Quite a nice place to shop around, When to their night market and try the famous cuttlefish stew. The food there are all quite cheap cost around NT$30 and in small bowl, but its filling cause they use alot of flour on the foods. The stew is like shark fin but minus away the fins and replace with cuttlefish.

The bubble tea also come in large cup, remember the first night when i buy my first mango ice. The shop girl gave me extra cup of small mango ice. I only paid NT$30 for 2 cup of drink.

Came across this special shop name call easy shop. Look so cool and consider quite modern building in that areas so decided to take some pics on it. Can u guess what kinds of things do they sell? (Clue: some very personal stuff and come in sizes.) =p

Oh ya.. not forgetting some more pics from the town of DouLiu.

Their 4 Level of KFC. 1 Level is the order counter. 2 and 3 is seat. The 4th level is for some event room for celebration of birthday.

This is the shop where i caught all my dolls. The girl was so helpful and kinds, she would put the doll near to the opening to let you have a sure catch. In total, i myself caught 4 dolls. Why am i not in the pics? Cause when they take secretly with the girl without informing us.

One of the bubble tea shop in the town of DouLiu

The answer is

Its a shop that sell lingering

Soon to come will be Pics from the Sun Moon Lake and the Pics from Taiwan second largest city, Kao Shiong.

因为你是我最晴朗的大晴天

爱要你牵我的手每一天我要非常用心感觉

因为爱你才是我最后最美丽的句点

喜欢在你的肩膀盘旋喜惯两个人的世界

因为爱你才让我的心永远像甜甜圈



牵你的手还是有点紧张

看你双眼怎黱好好说话

这次真的下定决心鼓起勇气拥抱你让我们的爱连成完美圈圈

曾经怀疑自己是否能保护你是你让我看见世界美丽

What Ong Wei Liang Means

You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are deeply philosophical and thoughtful. You tend to analyze every aspect of your life. You are intuitive, brilliant, and quite introverted. You value your time alone. Often times, you are grumpy with other people. You don't appreciate them trying to interfere in your affairs. You are very charming... dangerously so. You have the potential to break a lot of hearts. You know how what you want, how to get it, and that you will get it. You have the power to rule the world. Let's hope you're a benevolent dictator! You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?

我不能承诺将活着带你们回家。

但是我发誓，开战以后，我将是第一个走进战场、也是最后一个离开战场的人。

我不会留下任何一个同胞，不管是已经牺牲的还是仍然活着的。

我们所有的人将一起回家。

"I can't promise you that I will bring you all home alive, but this I swear:

I will be the first one to set foot on the field, and I will be the last to step off.

And I will leave no one behind. Dead, or alive, we all come home together. So help me God."

Will be leaving to battle Opfor from 19Feb to 23Feb. This time round its no longer a normal training. This time round is where "bullet" will fly, men will die. Close buddies beside u will collaspe and die when he is shot. It is the closer to war that it going to be from the 19Feb when the siren sound. Neither am i spare from dead, cause i am few of the most attractive target for the opfor as i am the point sc of my platoon, the first one who will most likely to contact the opfor first and also the replacement for my PC when he is down.

Apart from all those, after this outfield will be left with one more Overseas and finally ORD.. less than 14 weeks more to go. Will update my blog if i manage to survive this outfield.

Take care..

Aries subjects are courageous leaders with a genuine concern for those they command, being responsible people, it is rare that they will use their subordinates to obtain their own objectives as leaders, but occasionally it does happen. They do not make very good followers because they are too "take charge". They may be unwilling to obey or submit to directions for which they can see no reason, or with which they disagree. They are much concerned with self, both positively and negatively - self-reliant but also self centered (sometimes) and concerned with their own personal advancement and physical satisfaction. Their immense energy makes them aggressive and restless, argumentative occasionally, headstrong, quick tempered, easily offended and capable of holding grudges if they feel themselves affronted.

You make good athletes and climbers, doctors, explorers (of new ideas as well as uncharted territory, the latter in these days including adventuring into outer space), soldiers, sailors and airmen, and leaders, though awkward subordinates, in industry and politics.

Adventurous and energetic
Pioneering and courageous
nthusiastic and confident
Dynamic and quick-witted

2007 just passby me in a flash even before i notice.. a year seem to be very long if its 365 days but if you really look into it, its actually 52weeks only. Only 52 weekend of sat and sun rest and chionging and a year is gone.

Photo taking with the tank..
It is older than me.. But still function well.

The 3SG from 'C' Coy..

It has been a month since i last blog. Sorry for that cause i was quite busy and at the same time lazy to update.. =p

I just finish my test for Stage 1.. I manage to lead 2 section to achieve recdcon 1 for hand grenade and crew drill.. I, myself also got a personal recdcon 1 for navigation. All the week of preparation and hardwork finally paid off on the test day.

Last Sunday, i watched Enchanted with Dear at Tampines Mall GV. Like Fairy Tale story, overall the show was good. ***1/2 out of *****.
I am going to catch the next movie, "Warlord". Must watch movie.

Another IMPORTANT thing is i am still left with 180days to ORD.. which is less than 25weeks to go after minus away all the sat, sun, public holiday, block leave, off and leave.

1 more things is i may need to go for another overseas trip again ard march to april period.
If i am selected, it will be my 3rd trip in my entire NS duration. Consider it lucky or what cause not many or few people can go overseas more than once in their entire NS.

Experience in Wallaby
Rockhampton, Australia

Weather there was hot during daytime and extreme cold during the night. Even 4 layers of clothes can still make u shiver in the middle of the night even with the protection from the veh.

The foods in the camp canteen was expensive. Beef sasuage (Kabana) cost $2, coke $1.60 and orange juice $2.50. All in aussie dollar.

Bathing facilities there was an experience. Inorder to bath, i have to fill up the water bag then raise it high and secure it before i start to enjoy. Max 2 pails of water is enough to fill the bag.

The journey to veh shed is damn long, 1.5km walk before can reached.

Got to watch up close with Emu and Kangaroo. Quite an experience.

Australia is 2hrs faster than Singapore. Imagine everyday i wake up at 530am Australia time which by that time the sky is already quite bright. Singapore is only 330am.

Bash in close terrain vegetation in the dark and bang down lots of tree using veh. Imagine 1 tree cost $50, can't calculate how much i have bang down. Something close to $2000 on that very night. Imagine got many of that night and sometime day. That is how all your tax is being use.

Countless time of near misses where veh almost overturn.

First time shooting 'live' round with no proper mark out route of advance. Be operational is quite an experience.

First time seeing slap round and close encounter of tank firing side by side my veh. Of course at the end of the day, my whole body was cover with sand, dust and dirt.

First time having a 25mm 'live' round flying past and super close to my head only less than 1m on my left side. Really lucky me. Cause it was a misfire due to mechanism faulty. Woot~ at that time i was cold feet and Thank God i was still alive.

First time got to taste the crunchy of the fine sand in Australia inland and also got to breath in often then u can think. Cause when the veh move it create a small sand storm so no choice either breath in or die. The sand was finest than the sand at our beaches.

First time being to such a big resort in Yeppoon, thought nothing much to play at least i manage to see the coastline.

Shopping in Rockhampton shopping mall was an experience. Something like our IMM size of shopping mall. The food serving there were all so big, soft can drink that come in 375ml. But it close at 5.30pm everyday and close on Sunday.

When to their 3 major supermarket and discover most of the things sold there could be brought in Singapore supermarket.

Brought lot and lot of naugot and chocolates. The chocolate there was cheap and come in big packaging.

First time when i raise up my head saw so many many many many stars.

Second time boarding the plane need to climb up stairs, first time was in Indonesia. In another word, up close with the plane. Nice feeling man!

The most common words or phrases that i say in Australia was, "Hey Mike", "Thanks Man".

Experience a day of Australian way of life when travelling through the town.

First time when to an Australian College inside a Unviersity, Central Queensland University for lunch and night snack. Foods serve there was western with bit of asian taste, fried, bread, cupcake and chocolates.

First time onboard Air New Zealand flight. Good plane with friendly host.

First time where my parents and girlfriend accompany me to airport to send me off for overseas training. Taiwan Flight was in the middle of the night, maybe that is why dun have..

Pray hard there won't be another time of overseas training going to Taiwan during March to April duration. I want to go there for rest and relax holiday not for training. Anyway, dear friends out there, i planning to go there for a holiday after i ord. if u are interested too pls let me know too k. would be around May, June or early July. Let me know u r interested and i will do follow up with u when the time is ripe. =)

The drinkable water there got a weird taste cause its lack of flouride and chlorine. after a few day will get use to it cause no other choice mah. Drink or die of thrist. Haha.. =p

First time saw camp got internet access to use and movie screening everyday. No chance to use the internet at all, hardly got to sit down to watch the movie too until the last day before leaving the camp. The movie i saw on that day were resident evil 1 and 2 and dawn of the dead, all of them were the movie that i scare to watch. Sigh~

First time experience super short rain which last for only or less than 5mins each time. Feel so frustrated cause by the time i wear my raincoat the rain would stop and the sun will raise.

The scenary at ShoalWater Bay Training Area was awesome. Too bad got no pics.

I having a runnning nose since the first day i landed at Rockhampton and the day i left. Luckily my cough had recover.. Sneeze sneeze.

Those were my experience in Australia. Thought nearly die over the gun mechanism faulty incident but the overall experience was nice. There were numbers of pics taken during the trip but need to get it from my friends inorder to share with u guys and gers. Will upload the pics asap.
Take Care...! Cya Mike....

Hmmm.. Long time since i blog. What should i update on my blog? Let me think... =)

2 weeks ago, juz recover from high fever of close to and higher than 39'C. Got a 2 days mc and get a chance to rest at home and to escape from the busy workload and tons of seminar and lecture back in camp.

Last week, i was busy packing up my bag for overseas. U may be wondering where am i going? Why within the short 1 years i can go overseas so often. First was Tekong then Taiwan, follow by Australia this time round. I also dunnoe why, maybe i am consider lucky that i am that 'free' and fortunate to go overseas so often. haha.. =)

Anyway, in another 5 more hours time i will be leaving Singapore and by 1am the next day i will be touching down at Australia airport. According to the advance party who had touch down yesterday night comment that, the temp there is very very very cold. i think there is no much different from Taiwan. Nevertheless, i am still going to bring and wear extra clothing.

Last week, i had a class reunion gathering with my sec sch classmate. When for bowling game follow by a dinner at Waraku Marina square. The bowling game was a disappointed one, cause i didn't even had a strike at all, maybe the pins dun like me its doesn't want to fall, there were couples of time where i could almost got a strike. Keep getting 8, 9pin and spare.
The dinner at Waraku was another experience, i try the octupus and squid set, it was nice.
I order a strawberry ice cream, the ice cream was nice too especially at the last part when u eat together with the breakfast cereal.

Leaving soon.. Take care my friends... cya soon. Will blog again when i return from Australia safely.

Yesterday night, when i was listening to radio on the bus journey home. I came across a nice song. Share it with u guys ang gers out there.
Its about the story of a snail. Never give up one day u will reached your goals.

蜗牛

该不该搁下重重的壳

寻找到底哪里有蓝天

随着轻轻的风轻轻的飘

历经的伤都不感觉疼


我要一步一步往上爬

等待阳光静静看着它的脸

小小的天有大大的梦想

重重的壳裹着轻轻的仰望


我要一步一步往上爬

在最高点乘着叶片往前飞

任风吹干

流过的泪和汗

总有一天我有属于我的天
