Joy and relief for me..!!!

The stay-out quarantine period is finally over.!! I get to stay-in on the island. No more 2 hour long journeys, no more waking up at 430am, no more reaching home mentally tired..

No More..!! No More..!!!

Ok.

Life as an SME instructor is ramping up slowly.. JC visit last week, had to parade myself as a "model".. Camo on, with weapon, full battle order.. in front of a whole audience.. it was kinda cool.. especially the part where i get surrounded by girls.. XD.
there were a number of cute and hot girls present.. great eyecandy for me.. sad that it's only eyecandy.. how bout they like write their hp number on a piece of paper and slip it into my hand kinda thing..?? how bout that..?? that would be nice.. sadly it's just a fantasy.. Hah..!! This week would be poly students.. even better.. they come in, you know, ehem, "nice" clothes.. HAH..!!

Only recently I've acquired somewhat of a new hobby/pastime.. something to, well - pass time.. it started with my current buddy halifi suggesting that we go fishing during our nights off since we got nothing much to do and that we live on the other side of mainland singapore.. and yeah.. the new hobby is fishing.. it doesn't look like much but it really is fun.. especially the part where you "fight" with the fish as u reel it in.. applying the right amount of tension on the line, reeling in slow or fast to "play" with the fish.. and finally the time where you pull the fish out of the water and get the satisfaction of knowing what you were "battling" with and the reward of a catch..

I've done some fishing before earlier in my life but I've never learnt how to actually fish.. and it was through halifi that i learnt some new things about fishing especially what i learnt just now was how to cast the line.. LOL!!

Ya.. i don't know how to cast a line.. but i've learnt it now.. bought a cheap set of rod and reel and i'm all set..

In case most of you are wondering how i actually posted up this entry since i'm in camp is because tekong now has wireless intranet and we specialists are given a small laptop each. that's how i'm posting this up..

on the otherside of things.. I know that I've been a good friend to most.. always providing a listening ear.. always lending a helping hand.. always giving advice.. but i have almost always been approached when i'm physically around.. Like.. 'Oh hafiz is here, i'll ask him for help' kinda thing..

But I never knew that I really matter most to some.. that some friends would actually call for help and advice in the most dire of times.. and i'm actually quite surprised yet strangely honoured to be called..

To that particular friend.. I'm real honoured to be called by you even though it was in the dead of night.. your problem is not unfamiliar to me and it will be hard going through it and letting it pass.. I've been through it before, it wasn't easy, it never is.. but time is the best healer of a broken heart..

To that particular friend.. thank you for calling me.. You will be alright.. Stay strong.. I will always be there for you.. as i've always been for all my friends..
