Last post Aug 7 2007????? my goodness.. how freaking fast times have passed from my avid blogging days of posting every few days to an almost year's absence... how many people who have read my blog... come here anticipating a new post... only to be sorely disappointed... haha i am too ego liao... who the hell reads my blog... but 7 Aug 2007 and now 27 may 2008!! Lets see now... what has happened in this time.....hhmmm..

yes yes went to alaska.. saw the northern lights..
came back went thru an army proficiency test with my platoon and battalion...
Promoted to captain...
got my scheme c...
got a decent year end bonus...
went to a bintan kelong for a short tour..
celebrated chinese new year with my family and my girl...
bought a .76!!!! carat diamond ring ( no $$$ liao)
Proposed to my girl
applied for an HBD flat ballot and got queue number 5
Got the keys to my Toa payoh brand new 35th story flat.... (even more no $$ liao)
officially entered boring adulthood.. marking it with spending time choosing tiles for the floor and curtains for the windows.
spent $$ on renovations, frigde.. kitchen, hood cooker... blah blah (did i mention i was washing dishes part time?)
and now working in division... a much happier and rewarding place..
looking forward to a june holiday in darwin australia doing backpacking and treking...

and they say time travels fast...

my gosh to all my friends i have not talked to for so so long.... for i have been too engrossed in my tiny rat race.... i am sorry for being a bad friend.

but hey at least u know clifton is still happy and still has that crazy sense of optimistism (although i must say that that stint in my first unit really tested this sense to the max!!)

but yes finally after almost a year i have a post...



maybe i'll try to improve and post sometime at the start of 2009 this time...




oh oh oh... one more and most importantly... i am getting registered (in singaporean context ROMed) July 2008. Maybe the next time i post.. got my baby's picture liao... hahhaha :)
Cheers,
Clifton
