My service term is due on the 6th May, which is exactly 12 days from now. The IPPT cat test will be taken into consideration for entry into service term. Meanwhile, it's time to train up. I'm preparing to go for a 3Km run and a swim after that. I'm actually quite excited and I really hope my body is able to adapt to the trainings smooth and fast.
End of Lobo life man.
Yea! For now.
Fight another day.
This blog will primarily be used to log my travel experiences. My first destination will be Helsinki, next Oslo, Svalbard, Stockholm, Bergen and London. Now, I'm back in Singapore.

Bali exploration from 14th April to 17th April 2013.
with my darl. :D
Ultimo Italian Restaurant at Seminyak.
The Cream of mushroom soup was served with chunks of mushroom chunks. Filletto Al Pepe is a dish served with salad and panna potato. Although the medium rare tenderloin was slightly towards the salty side, the tenderness of the piece and panna potato totally made up for it. The Seafood Risotto was pretty amazing. If one has prefers an oriental taste to their Italian mains, seafood risotto is the dish to order. It's like 'seafood pasta rice'. Lastly, the dessert for the night was Panna Cotta. Thick smooth 'pudding' paired with sour raspberry sauce.
Scooter rides in Bali.
We've rode the Bali roads for two days. The scooter rental costs 110K IDR for two days. We rode for a total of two days with 5 bottles of petrol that costs 27K IDR. The petrol is sufficient for trips within Seminyak, a trip to Kuta, and a trip to Sanur. The traffic conditions in Bali can be described as orderly madness. The locals seemed to ride on instincts and they are really friendly and helpful. We can't count the number of time we've asked for directions. Sometimes stopping by beside the road and approaching a shop staff, or, just by simply turning our heads to the people beside us (on scooters). They were accurate with their directions most of the time. There were two situations when the locals guided us on their bikes. The last one was particularly memorable. We didn't take Jalan sunset (a main 'highway') to reach Seminyak. Instead, we weaved on small roads. A left turn, another left turn, magic! Uma Karan was right beside us on our left.
Sunrise in Seminyak and Sanur.
We saw our first Sunrise in Bali at Seminyak. Uma Karan to be exact. As we were about to scoot off to Seminyak, we stopped by the front of the pool to take a short glance. The pool reflected the purplish pink skies on it's surface. Beautiful indeed. It's a short ride (approximately 10 minutes), from Uma Karan to Seminyak beach.
We decide to venture to Sanur next. It's the eastern part of Bali and supposedly one of the best place to watch the sunrise. Sitting at the Breakwaters at Jalan Matahari Terbit, we watched as the glow of the sun unfold.

Poke my thoughts.
This question is thought provoking.
'When the button is pressed, will you have stay and fight on?'.
I've just finished a two day 'values' workshop. To be honest, I have no idea what the exact name of the workshop was. I started an Air Imagery Course on the 25th April and I'm back at AFTC for two days to attend this workshop. And tomorrow, I'll be going back to where I should be till the 8th April. The course is really intensive and interesting.
Indeed, there were lectures, videos shown, sharing sessions and activities throughout the whole event. And out of all the activities that were organized, the part that I enjoyed the most was the sharing or real time operation stories by the two veterans of their own field on day 1 of the workshop. It engaged my thoughts and made me reflect.
Let me share with you my answer to that question. For now, I'll try not to answer hypothetical questions. I'll be working on my profession, making sure I am trained enough to have the operational capability as a future leader. This should be the priority. Values, just like passion, are big words. And I believe, the most reliable answer to the question will be revealed when the 'button is pressed'.
