Hubby is now training to be a SQ Pilot...

So the training program will be:
- 3weeks of OBS
- half a year in Seletar
- 1year in Perth
- come back SG for a couple mths
- 3mths in Brisbane
- wait for his conversion for 777

then he will start his career as a 2nd Officer Pilot...

All these is going to take him (us) 2&half years...(!!!)

2&half years is not too long yet not too short span of time...Spending 1 full year without each other as companion will not be easy...But we are going thru' it together with faith & trust that everything will turn out fine...And right now, I'm already preparing myself to be more independent...Keeping my thoughts busy so that I won't be bothered by the fact that my hubby is not by my side...Cause my hubby need to concentrate on the curriculum planned for him so that he can fulfill his dream of being a responsible pilot...

Personally, I think the 1 year of training in Perth will be really tough for us but we will start to plan some flyover-meet up to maintain our relationship...Tell me that with technologies like "face time", "whatsapp" & "skype", communication is not a problem at all...

And for the 1 year of LDR, I can help up with my brother & "smelly" future sister-in-law wedding preparation... Ohyes, my bro proposed & their big day is on 121212...Finally, my bro is ready to settle down...So I guess the 1 year will be a fast one & we are hoping that hubby will be back to attend their wedding..

My Smelly Qingyi & Zhengqun

Seriously, I really very proud of my Hubby, he is really so amazing till I don't know why he's with me. I wonder if I am good enough for him...But I'm going to do all I can to make him the happiest man living on earth till then I think I'm already everything I want to be in this life...

So this 2&half years, all i can do is be supportive & independent so that he can concentrate achieving all the things he need to do and lessen his worries for me...

We believe with faith & trust that
"Love never fails",
we will be holding hands till old age...

F.A.M.I.L.Y.

Pencil: I'm sorry...
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.
Pencil: I'm sorry cos you get hurt bcos of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.
Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad. :)

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way... they get hurt, and become smaller (older, and eventually pass on). Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

"All my life, I've been the pencil.. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have..."

This is to all the parents out there...

I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves

Chorus:
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to see the world for once
(Let the world sing today)
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That's the song I hear
(That's the song I hear)
Let the world sing today
(Let the whole wide world keep singing)
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away

Put your hand in my hand
Let's begin today
Put your hand in my hand
Help me find a way

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
we used to love while others used to play.
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
someone else moved in from far away.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

The apple tree that grew for you and me,
I watched the apples falling one by one.
And I recall the moment of them all,
the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone.

Now we are tall, and Christmas trees are small,
and you don't ask the time of day.
But you and I, our love will never die,
but guess we'll cry come first of May.

When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,
do do do do do do do do do...
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,
someone else moved in from far away.

First Of May Lyrics

Take 5...and think about it...

Read this article by an American stand-up comedian from Twinkle's recent entry...and want to share this and note the below content...


The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.

Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.

Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away. -George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008)

A new change

"the young do not know enough to
be prudent, and therefore they attempt
the impossible -- and achieve it,
generation after generation."

this sentence got me stop for a moment... maybe i should just go ahead with my dream career although the new measures set by our PAP will definitely affect the property market... but i really have to give a try this time round... thinking too much may just lead me to miss the boat again...

So so-yaya ish really going to move out of my current comfort zone and make it BIG... =)

說了再見就真的不能后悔

天涼了　雨下了　你走了
清楚了　我愛的　遺失了
落葉飄在湖面上睡著了

想要放　放不掉　淚在飄
你看看　你看看 不到
我假裝過去不重要　卻發現自己辦不到

說了再見　才發現再也見不到
我不能就這樣失去你的微笑
口紅待在桌腳　而你我找不到
若角色對調你說好不好

說了再見　才發現再也見不到
能不能就這樣忍著痛淚不掉
說好陪我到老　永恒往哪裡找
再次擁抱一分一秒都好

你的笑　你的好
腦海裡　一直在繞
我的手　忘不了　你手的溫度
心碎了一地　撿不回
從前的心跳　身陷過去我無力逃跑

說再見　才發現再也見不到
能不能就這樣忍著痛淚不掉
說好陪我到老　永恒往哪裡找
再次擁抱一分一秒都好
