for without kindness, there can be no true joy."

Too much? Too fast? Too late?


This probably is my first official rambling on this blog. Just had a chat with an Aussie friend over wall exchanges and suddenly had so much things through my head, that I just had to let it run.

Turning 28 soon makes me wonder have I really done what I set out to do in life? Or have I done too much? Or have I just tried to race with time and did it too fast, missing out all the joys in life? Or it's just simply too late to look back and regret, which is the very first thing I told myself not too when I left my job 15 months ago.

Project Sikkim featured on Discovery Channel Magazine


IMGP6716

Exactly eight months ago, I led a team of Singapore Rovers along with two Maldives Rovers to Sikkim, India on a Youth Expedition Project. This project was the 3rd Scouts of the World Voluntary Service project under the Singapore Base. We were there to help improve the studying conditions of two schools in two areas high up in the mountainous regions. You can read more about the expedition here.

Clementi District Games Day


17th July 2010
Clementi Town Secondary School

It's been a while since I last attended any district events. If I do not attend this one, I'm sure my District Commissioner (DC) would have something to say. Especially when I have missed the past two district meetings because of other engagements. Haha! Furthermore it's held back at my alma mater.

Reaching there was a difficult task cause it was raining and my bed was so comfortable... but eventually I got my lazy butt out of bed and cabbed down. Thankfully Iris bought extra breakfast so I didn't need to drag my lazy butt out of school to buy it. I definitely got more energetic after the food. A fine pack of hot coffee would make my day but anymore complains, probably Iris will nag at me.

Fun with Jeff and Reefs at SSA

The Singapore Scout Association

I missed the first introductory session as I was still in Terengganu releasing turtle hatchlings, but without fail, attended the one next one that Jeff presented about our reefs. Unfortunately I'm unable to attend the rest as all my SSEAYP trainings also fall on Thursday nights...

NatureScouter lands on Terumbu Pempang Tengah!

Terumbu Pempang Tengah, Singapore

You would probably be thinking where the hell that is or what the hell it is. The name itself is quite a mouthful. It is one of three submerged reefs close to each other. 'Tengah' means middle in Malay and of course the reef sits right in the middle of the other two.
