WINDS OF CHANGE

Change can be refreshing although daunting especially when we don't know what the change will bring.

Change is not always something that we look forward to. Not when we are in our comfort zones. But it is a necessary disruption to shake us out of our comfort and subsequent complacency.

2018 has been a year of change personally. The most significant one has to be the switch in my work environment. What beholds me after the 3 years? A question that has been posed to me several times by different one. I still have no answer at this point. One thing I do know is the mission to be a "Guard-Post" remains the bedrock of my stint in OBS; regardless of my duties and roles in time to come. I can only cling onto the ONE who has led me thus far and the ONE who clearly knows my future and the paths I have to tread on. He will never fail me. If anything, this is the assurance and promise that will keep me trudging forward no matter what the days ahead may look like; be it sunny or stormy ones.

 My 1st RAC course and group  - St Patricks, HCI & Orchid Park.
After running 6 courses in Ubin, I got to try taking mainland courses and my maiden RAC programme was that of Kick-biking and IRB. It definitely was a different experience from the usual programmes we run in Ubin. The flow, facilitation and even the mindset have to be tweaked in order for us to still try to achieve the objectives. Personally, there was some under-arousal but moving forward, mainland programmes will become a stayer and we have the responsibility to make sure the course retains the basic level of ruggedness and still able to instill the value of resilience and discipline in our participants.

Wo(Man) of the hour

As I read the tribute to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee, I can't help but feel this profoundly deep admiration for this immensely brilliant forefather of Singapore. I was in awe of his contributions and how his influence is so pervasive in modern Singapore, yet so few actually heard and know of his legacy. The more I read on about what people remembered of him and his long list of accolades, the more proud I am to be a Singaporean. I never knew places of interests like our zoo, bird park and even Sentosa were his ideas! These are just a tiny fraction of his contributions. My gosh....it was just an incredible discovery and I was hooked to the Saturday's Special edition on 'Remember Dr Goh Keng Swee'. Strangely, my heart was pounding as I read and later reflected on this titan's life. Instinctively, a question came to mind i.e. will there be another titan like Dr Goh, Mr Lee KY, Mr Wee Kim Wee or the other members of the Old Guard in my generation? Will I get to see one em...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...
