29 juillet Possibicity 25 juillet Coming home climaxHome ward bound this coming Friday. Counting down the days now, and really looking forward to be back in Singapore. Never been away for so long for work before and I missed lots of people and things back home.
It is always a pleasure coming home, this time the climax will be heightened by the attendance of the National Day Parade preview this Saturday. I love to attend the National Day Parade as I can feel the patriotism towards my country swell within me and the spirit of being one nation present in every breathe. It is a priceless boast of belief to me and I really treasure the opportunity.
I am looking forward to a safe journey home and most of all a great time on Saturday. 19 juillet Renewing eyesI was chatting to my colleague who will be embarking for his holiday to southern China tomorrow. He was telling me about his great plans for further traveling to northeastern part of China later this year. Hey he used to question my need to travel and tends to be a little pessimism about everything and everyone. Now he actually tells me that he will like to widen his horizon and see the world. I am really happy for him. I shared this entry on my journal with him… These quotes are ripped off from the Sliver Kris magazine while I was traveling to Vietnam earlier this month. “No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until he comes home and rest his head on his old familiar pillow.” "When you travel remember that a foreign country is not designed to make you comfortable. It is designed to make its own people comfortable"
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." I like the 3rd one best and concur with it totally. Hope I can have daily renewing eyes no matter where I am and all the best for my colleague too. He should really replace that “old” pair of eyes. 16 juillet Back on earthI forgotten about limitations and fear for a while. Guess it was due to my over indulgence of the belief that I can survive anywhere in the world. And a kind doggy bought me back to earth by barking at me yesterday morning. I am afraid of dog and this weakness must really be rectified somehow. Spent my last 2 weeks and counting in Camau, the southern part of Vietnam. I am here to work on my project, the two 750MW combined cycle power plants. I was here to perform the role as the engineering coordinator. Life is pretty simple here. I spend a good twelve hours working or doing something related to work. Enjoy the scenic ride to the from site everyday, the country side here is really effortlessly beautiful. Play some computer games during my free time. And best of all, cultivate the good habit of sleeping early and waking early. Something I rarely do back home. Sometimes I wonder about my purpose here, how I shall assess if I was successful. Even if I tried my best, is it good enough? Guess there will be no improvement if ones never question themselves. I will continue to question myself and hopefully I will be able to attain greater heights. Thinking back I felt a little embarrassed that I never attempt to pick up some Vietnamese for the amount of time I spend here. Since last week, I have been putting my Vietnamese phrase book into good use. Wish me luck, most should know I cannot speak anything properly. By the way, some information about mosquito. They will bite one’s face. I got a few bites from a hungry one last night. Simply cannot make it. |
