A Tribute to Max..My Favourite Dog...
Hello guys....Its me once again. This blog is a tribute to my Dog (My little mum mum). Hey Max, i know all dogs go to Heaven and i know you have arrived at a paradise looking down on us all the time. The 12 years you spent with me will forever be remembered. From the little dog we purchased at Serangoon Gardens to a "Old Man", i guess it was love at first sight and we knew you had to follow us back to our house and spend the remaining years in our place. Oh well, you have brought us many joys and laughter over the last 12 years and i my heart, you will always be my favourite dog.
I know my entire family will miss your constant yelping and the lazy attitude you carry ard the house. When i walked through my door looking out of my gate, i know there is something greatly missing in my place. Its you..My dear little Max. I still remember clearly how i touched you head and called ur pet name as i left home. Looking into ur eyes, i never expected this would be the last time seeing you a life. If i had knew it, i would have carried you in my arms and give u a big bear hug....How much i miss you Max !!
Now, when i have my dinner, you wont be ard pestering me for food. The last meal i fed you was your favourite food, Egg Yolks and Bua Gua. But now, having egg yolks and bua gua have taken a differnent meaning as you wont be ard sharing the food i have.
My dear little Max...I just want to thank you for all the memories you have given me and my family over the last 12 years. May you rest in peace as we continue to come to graps over the sudden death of you.
Hey guys, you must be thinking what is derek trying to do?? Being so emotional over a dog. Well, he is juz like a family member to me and without him by my side now, there is a sene of emptiness in me. Though he is juz a little dog we have, the love i have for him is the same as compared to my family. His departure has left me a deep sense of guilt. Many questions came to my mind but its too late to do anything.
Though the departure of Max has affected me in someway or another, the events which unfolded today taught me a valuable lesson. Treat all your family members as if you would not live to see the next sunrise coz you will never know when they will depart. By the time they have departed, you will live with guilt and wondered what you could have done to made them feel happier and less worried abt you. Hmm....I have a strong feeling Max is trying to teach me a lesson with his departure.
Alright guys, a tired and heavy heart is definately not the way you want to end the day but the day has come to an end and i will leave you guys to ponder over what i have juz said in my blog.
Max..a final word befor i end this tribute to you. "Thank you for all the memories you have given me and may you rest in peace"
I love you guys and may the Good Lord continue to shower his blessing upon you. Goodnight...

Bo Bo Shooter..Must be the Rifle..Sigh!!
Hello people out there!!!! Its me once again...Derek Chua is in Da House!!! haaahahaa...
Alright alright..you must be wondering what the hell is a Bo Bo Shooter..hmm..well...its a army slang used to describe a person who is not able to hit the targets with his weapon (rifle) and as a result of this, he fails the test. Well...it juz happened to me on tuesday and i cant believe such a thing happened to me. I failed by 1 shot !! DAMM IT and the worst part is i have to return to the range once again for another re-shoot in 3 months time. During my Recruit days' i hit 28 out of 32 targets. Now..a pathetic figure of 13 out of 28...Sigh!!!
Hmm...the only fun part of going to the range is to fire off the weapon but the most shitty part is the waiting time in between the day shoot and night shoot. Can u imagine juz firing off 16 rounds in 20 mins and then u wait till night fall before firing off another 12 rounds. Its so fucking boring man. Juz sitting there and doing nothing. I juz wished it was winter in Spore so night fall could come at 4pm...Enough of Live Range, the more i talk abt it..the more depress it becomes but i guess it juz wasnt my day and i know God has other plans for his beloved Derek!! haahahhaa
I went back to camp on wednesday and i realise how good a military life im leading. Juz sitting down in the Air-Con room on my comfortable office chair made me a happy soldier for once. Haahaha...missed all my friends in camp and they had a good laugh at the failure of my range. Though i stayed back in camp to help out in some kind of ceremony, i was more than willing to do it!!! Suprising for a person like me...:)
The highlight of wednesday was the meeting of my darling liyan!! Looked forward to seeing her as i had a terrible monday and tuesday! I was thinking of her all day on wed and was a eager beaver waiting to meet her...haahahahaa!!! We had home cooked food prepared by the Master Chef herself, ROSALIND CHUA aka my beloved mum!! haaahaaaaa...
I juz had a talk with my dad the other day and he told me the company is doing much better as compared to the past. Though revenue is coming into coffers, my life hasnt improve much. My dad has not purchase what i want. Dad..if you are reading this...(high unlikely)..i want a CAR!!! It has become a need for me now!!!! Juz a normal saloon car will do..PLs dad...
Let me ponder through what other significant thing happened to me??? Naw...i think thats abt it..nothing else worth mentioning already. Ok guys...i leave you here now...thank you for taking time off to read abt Derek's life...haahaha..take good care of urself ppl...i will see you guys soon. Love you Lots...Miss you too..take care and God bless you!!!

A week in Motion!!!
Hello guys!! Im back once again to blog! Have not been blogging for quite some time already...too caught up with work as my upper study is leaving for good this coming friday. Lots of work to be done.
Ohh well..once again this week has flown past me again. Time seems to be going at a quicker pace with each passing month!!! haahahaa..good for me...wings are begining to grow as i complete my first year of service.
Had an arguement with my mum over the usage of car last weekend!!! Damm it man!!I really really need a car to get me to places. Moreover i would be having night classes next year and i think having a car would be even more essential as i travel between home..camp and NYP. I think after so many years of studying, i will be doing something which interest me. A Specialist Diploma in Brand Management. Im doing this course for the sake of getting myself prepared for Uni when i complete my army. Too long away from books can do a great deal of damage to the brain!!! haahaahaha
Well...i think the coming week would be a busier one as i will only return back to camp in mid-week because of my "Live Range". Fucking shit man...i always hated range..you shoot 16 rounds and then u wait the whole fucking day till night falls and then start shooting another 16 rounds. The wait is too long man...juz sitting there and doing nothing can kill....The worst part is to clean the damm fucking rifle...fucking tedious and a real waste of time....Im not aiming for any marksman...i juz want to do my best and never return to the range for another year at least.
My mum juz spent an hour talking to me abt being a responsible married man!! I juz sat there and tried to absorb as much as i can but i can only remember one sentence she said "Derek, if you must marry, you must be committed to the marriage and must shoulder the responsibility of taking good care of the family. This commitment must stay with you for life when you decide to settle down" Ohh well...it seems as though she thinks im going to marry tml...haahaa..but i know what she is trying to say and what she said to me will forever be inscribed in the palms of my hands and i wont forget it. Sounds serious eh??? Always remember man..although im quite a cock person at times, i can be very serious and focus if i need to be. Give Derek a chance to be taken seriously at times...haahahahaahaa :)
Hmm...half the year has gone already. Im looking forward to december coz im trying to make plans with my girl to go HK for a short holiday. Im praying all will turn out fine and hope we can make this trip together.
Ok guys. Enough of blogging today...fingers are turning numb and eyes are getting a little watery. Time to treat myself to a enjoyable afternoon nap. Take care guys. Will be thinking of you all...Have a good week ahead. God bless you. Love you !!
