Good As Gold, Around The World
"I sweared upon my chest I've clean forgotton abt Jolin already.." says Jay Chou
Just like what everyone is waiting in anticipation come 1st November for the latest Jay Chou Album “November’s Chopin”, there is no harm to look back on his first album titled simply as “Jay” and discovered how much the difference were when you listen to it when you are younger then and currently when you are entering into adulthood.
Call me a sentimental, old, traditional fool but I still believe sometimes, old is still considered as gold.
A simple example may be a case of Sun Yanzi. Her first few albums were so outstanding and she is having a little hard time trying to emulate the success on the subsequent few albums. Nevertheless she is a good singer (of course she doesn’t become a bad singer overnight) but occasionally I scrolled through my songs collection specially just to listen to her “old” songs.
Keep a lookout on the new MTV for one of the songs in November Chopin though. It features Zhou Xun. (In case you don’t know anything about her, she is the lady who is playing the role of Rong Er in the Channel U serial Legend of Condor Hero) I always wonder whether her voice is as deep as whom she sounds like on TV. And yes of course I knew the MTV confirm chop + guarantee don’t feature her voice at all. This is just a side talk btw.
周杰伦: 龙卷风
爱像一阵风 吹完它就走
这样的节奏 谁都无可奈何
没有你以后 我灵魂失控
黑云在降落 我被它拖着走
静静悄悄默默离开
陷入了危险边缘 Baby~
我的世界已狂风暴雨
Wu~~~~
爱情来的太快 就像龙卷风
离不开暴风圈 来不及逃
我不能再想 我不能再想
我不 我不 我不能
爱情走的太快 就像龙卷风
不能承受 我已无处可躲
我不要再想 我不要再想
我不 我不 我不要再想你
不知不觉 你已经离开我
不知不觉 我跟了这节奏
后知后觉 又过了一个秋
后知后觉 我该好好生活
P/S: KNN next week I kena duty for both holidays. Got so suay anot?
You're Beautiful
Today Darren, Kb and me went down town and “see see look look” to keep ourselves abreast with latest happenings/fashions/gadgets that are currently gripping Singapore.
There were not many changes except some of the shop which I thought were operating fine has closed down and were replaced by others. So that can roughly tell you how long I have been keeping myself in the western part of the island.
We had initially thought of watching the movie “Domino” but scrapped the plan in the end. Perhaps $9.50 for a movie during the weekend is a little too much when you can exchange the money for a reasonable good meal.
And so we went “Pasta Mania” at Cineleisure for our “good meal”. I’m not sure whether “Pasta Mania” can be qualified as a good meal but we were at our wits end. (Not to worry, this time nothing happened over there. No Spiderman, no Batman no Superman attempting to fly down the building) However a minor incident indeed take place when the waiter was clearing our plates after we finished the pasta.
Apparently, both the waiter mis-communicates with one another and let go of the plate simultaneously. As I watched it land on the floor with a loud bang and the remains on the plate splashes towards the direction of the lady sitting behind Darren as well as Kb, I silently uttered a curse on myself.
Because you see, the unfinished remains on the plate were mine. It remains a question whether it’s worth the trouble because we receive a complimentary chocolate mousse worth $2.50 from the management as a method of apology. (Like that considered lucky anot? But don’t say I didn’t warn you. The chocolate mousse tasted really terrible.)
We also saw quite a number of pretty faces while strolling around the town. Darren gave us some advices which I’m not sure whether if it’s workable. Therefore to all ladies who happen to chance upon this blog, I post this question to you.
According to Darren, if you are going to attempt to obtain the number of the lady you fancy, try this pick up lines from the song “You’re Beautiful” by James Blunt.
“My life is brilliant. My love is pure.”
Seriously, I don’t ever think this cheesy pick-up line will boost your chances to obtain the number of the girl you fancy at all loh. What do you think?
These “few days” have been great. Been resting, sleeping, watching VCD, playing games, basketball, devouring books, magazines, newspapers at alarming pace and it all seems to be a darn long time when only a single Friday has just passed.
And suddenly I realized I’ve been playing and playing lots of basketball. So much so my basketball shoes of 2 years is starting to open its mouth to start wagging my soles for the whole world to see.
Still, nothing beats the satisfaction of the ball sailing through and air and “whoosh” into the net to end the game. Nothing.
And if you have the money to spare, try the Fish Leong album “丝路 Silk Road”. It can make a really great companion with you sitting in front of the computer doing your own stuffs, listening to her enchanting voice and catchy songs amid the ever raging thunderstorm outside which seem to be brewing more often than ever. If you don’t have the money, go beg, steal, and borrow. Haha I have the album, but it is a China Imported one because I’m what they say “a budget conscious” consumer.
I Am A Bounty Hunter
Keira Knightley Look Damn Stylo In Here
As I was typing this post, the thunderstorm has just subsided into a drizzle.
I can foresee a wonderful night curling under the blanket, wriggling my toes as I closed by eyes and dozed into dreamland…provided I didn’t have any nightmares in the first place. Because you see, tomorrow is my off day which means to say I can wake up as late as I wish to without giving a damn to anyone.
Today while I was stepping out of the MRT, I saw a familiar face staring back at me. On closer observation, it suddenly jolted me she is the lady I had admired during my year 1 when I was studying in poly. (Yes, there was someone back then before One True Love but anyway…) If I did not remember wrongly, her name is Madeline or it was supposed to sound something like that anyway. And as everyone knows, my fashion sense during my 1st year in poly was really disastrous and with my nerdy nerdy look, you can jolly well have guessed that I was ultimately rejected after I passed her a card expressing my admiration for her while boarding the MRT on our way to school.
And today, she captivated me yet again with her big round round eyes. But it’s a pity to leave it all to fate to decide when we will ever cross each other path again after watching her back fade away amid the evening crowd rushing back home for dinner. Beside, I don’t think I have the ability to strike a conversation with her even if the chances arise.
The feeling of "heartache" appears even before anything has begun. People say no love, got luck. got luck, no love. but KNNBCCB, how come I no luck no love...Haha.
Is there anyone be willing to show some pity and accompany me this weekend to watch DOMINO to heal my sorrow? Please...
In a Blink Of Your Eyes
In a blink of an eye, October is ending soon and November is coming.
In a blink of an eye, autumn is ending and winter is approaching.
In a blink of an eye, 9 more months of ORD.
And if you observe the weather nowadays, you might have notice the temperature has became cooler with more rainy days every now and then.
And you might have observe, it is getting more and more difficult to climb out of your bed every morning when the weather is so conducive for sleeping.
And to think I used to hate the rainy season in the past simply the reason because the ground will be wet and I will not be able to play basketball with my group of basketball khakis.
However, upon growing up, I have learn to appreciate the finer points of what the rainy season can bring to us ( no it’s not about whether Mio is going to come back to visit her husband and son during the rainy season in Be With You )…amid the hot and humid season for the past ¾ of the year.
Because you see, in our line of work, we are at the mercy of the weather 24/7. Come rain or shine, we are and will always be there to keep watch on the base.
I was left amused by this paragraph taken from cowboycaleb.liquidblade.com
“It was then that I rose to the occasion and told everybody not to worry for there was no frigging way the world could end on a Tuesday. Nothing ever happens on a Tuesday. Nothing. Nada. No life-changing event shite could possibly take place on the most boring day of the week. Tuesday, is the bastard child of an affair between Monday and Wednesday that took place behind the back of Sunday.”
How could anyone have use such a funny analogy for Tuesday? And to think on alternate week Tuesday is UEFA Champion League Day. (Ok…it is Wednesday morning to be fair)
Wake Up Your Ideas Lei!
Standby/Rest week is here again. Unfortunately I have to mount duty from 8-5 tomorrow and 1 full duty from Wed to Thur. But the best thing is often save for the last. I will be taking off on Friday (too many off must clear u see?) and that make it a long weekend this coming week. (Provided nothing went wrong of course)
Just when in the previous post I emphasized young teenager nowadays need more discipline to keep them out of trouble…this is what happened just now while I was downstairs my block playing basketball.
A bunch of kids ( maybe around 14-15 ) walked past the basketball court, arms swinging widely, with their hands holding spanners and iron pipes apparently going to find their enemies spoiling for a fight. I looked at them, cursed them “Stupid Idiot” yet blessed them because I knew they are going to be in deep deep shit later on.
Because you see, my friend who is playing basketball too is a very Garang Regular Policeman and he couldn’t take this lying down. Therefore, he took along his warrant card, ran towards their direction and shouted them to stop. Those Charlie Brown kids upon hearing someone shouting at them immediately dropped their weapons and scattered around in all direction.
Wat the Fcuk! My friend didn’t even shout the word “POLICE” yet they back off immediately. To think that just moment ago, the head of the gang was walking so Lao Lan. Anyway, the scene was very comical because all the kids involved were rounded up by the police and they were as meek as a pussy cat.
Good luck to those who carried the weapons. Be prepared to spend your time in the Boy Home in near future. Who knows, it might do you some good.
Just what is wrong with the young kids nowadays?
Sometimes, it never fails to amaze me that someone has the motivation/time to complete the picture above. She deserves some reward ...Don't you think so?
I'm Back Grandma.
I visited my grandma yesterday.
Somehow I think she is just glad to have someone for company and talk to her.
She kept saying Thank You when I left.
I think I should visit her more often in future.
Coach Carter
I can’t believe I have miss watching a great show such as Coach Carter until now.
The truth is, I had actually wished to catch the show when it screened last year but due to one reason or another, I skipped it.
And it wasn’t till yesterday when I went to rent the show then only I realized how much I missed. Perhaps the simple reason I like it so much is because it is related to basketball.
The show is about a coach named Carter who mould a bunch of young, ill-discipline basketball players into a team who is disciplined, responsible and overcome hurdles with hard work and pure determination. Something like what the army teaches you huh...
As the story unfolded, I got caught in their waves of emotion and of course, became engrossed with their journey to improve their skills, improve their life so they are able to become a better person than they previously were.
I sat in anticipation as I saw the shooting clock run out, wondering whether did they won or lost the match.
I clenched my fist when they overcome all odds and went into the state championship tournament.
I nodded my head in disapproval as they misbehave and did something stupid.
I tried to hide my disappointment when they lost and went home.
I felt proud of them when they achieved what they previously thought they could never dream of.
And what I took away from the show is this simple equation.
Success = Discipline + Determination + Pride
And this is what the Army thought me all these while. Even when the chips are against you, even when the odds are down, you must shoulder on and carry out the work entrust to you.
You completed the task well however much you hate it, because you do it for yourself, you do it for the entire platoon. You do it for yourself because you don’t really like to get your backside blasted by your CSM. You do it for the entire platoon because you don’t want the entire platoon to be criticized and get punished for a single mistake you committed.
But of course, not everyone might have the same thinking. But there is definitely no doubt life is definitely easier when there is this bunch of fellow mates sharing the joys and pains encountered along the 2 years journey.
And somehow when I walked along the streets these days, I thought to myself young Singaporean teenagers can definitely get better with a huge dose of discipline instill in them. A lot of them are just aimlessly wasting their youth away, prowling the streets looking for trouble. (Thank you if you are trying to catch litter bugs while prowling but I’m sorry you definitely are not doing so) But it’s fine. There is always the Army to take care of them when they get enlisted. To knock some sense in them or rather the army slang “To Wake Up Their Ideas”. As long as they don’t try to Chao Keng go see specialist to get their status dropped.
Because let me tell you why? I truly DESPISED these people. They are the Real Weak Shit.
Regeneration In Progress
My temperature has gone down. But I am still getting occasional shivers now and then. And therefore I avoid bathing because 1) I did not sweat 2) I’m afraid of catching a chill when I am showering
Both of my thighs still hurts like hell. A little bit like thousand needles pricking onto it whenever I tried to walk.
I slept a lot. Like a polar bear hibernating during winter. Except it’s kind of frustrating to have renovations going on the upper storey unit while I am trying to arrange a date with Mr. Zhou Gong. It has always been like that and I always wonder why it has to be so coincidence?
And did I forget to mention the medical assistant who gave me instructions for the medicine was real pretty? Or perhaps it was hallucination or just plain cloudy judgment due to severe headache? Gotta check it out to double confirm again.
Anyway, I’m just glad to be able to take a breather and rest.
Sick
I think I physically abused my body too much till now they are aching so badly.
2 hours of physically back-breaking stretching exercise in the morning
2 hours of basketball game under the scorching hot mid-noon sun.
And now I am totally waste with a severe headache and pain all over my joints and muscle.
What do I have in return?
A 2 day MC. Is it a good bargain? I really don't know.
Someday We'll Know
One of my favourites song.
New Radicals: Someday We'll Know90 miles outside chicagoCan’t stop drivingI don’t know whySo many questionsI need an answerTwo years laterYou’re still on my mindWhatever happened to emilia earhartWho holds the stars up in the skyIs true love once in a lifetimeDid the captain of the titanic cry
Chorus:Someday we’ll knowIf love can move a mountainSomeday we’ll knowWhy the sky is blueSomeday we’ll knowWhy I wasn’t meant for you
Does anybody know the way to atlantisOr what the wind says when she criesI’m speeding by the place where I met youFor the 97th time tonight
(chorus)Someday we’ll knowWhy samson loved delilahOne day I’ll goDancing on the moonSomeday you’ll knowThat I was the one for you
I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbowI watched the stars crash in the seaIf I could ask God just one questionWhy aren’t you here with me?
(chorus)Someday we’ll knowWhy sampson loved delilahOne day I’ll goDancing on the moonSomeday you’ll knowThat I was the one for youPostscript: seeing you in february was greatCliches eventually all come trueTime heals all woundsI went to get us our 9th drinkAnd you ran out the door with another guyI woke up on the floor with my shoes onA smile on my face and I didn’t even care
Quitting Lasts Forever.
On Friday afternoon, I mount duty.
On Friday night I slept at 0145am after finishing my duty shift.
On Saturday morning, I woke up at 0830am at guardhouse bunk bed
On Saturday noon 1200pm, I’m still at the camp, eating my lunch.
On Saturday afternoon 1400pm, I’m still at camp doing duty
On Saturday afternoon 1600pm, I finally got out of the damn fcuking camp.
On Sunday morning 0200pm, I slept for 7 hours.
On Sunday afternoon 1430pm, I have to be back there again.
So you tell me, where is my life? And mind you this is a fully operational unit, not a training school and I’m not a trainee.
If I give you my everything, what have you got to exchange in return?
The harsh reality hit me in my face and left me dazed for eternity.
But I’m sorry. Pain is Temporary. Quitting Lasts Forever.
Got to drag my tired ass back to camp soon.

Rain Rain Go Away
Yesterday morning downpour was a killer. Never before I gotten myself so wet while on duty. Even though I was under a small miserable shelter wearing a gortex jacket, it was still not enough against the big strong powerful rain. My pant, socks, shoes, jockey cap got soak in rainwater but luckily I was tall enough to prevent my underwear from getting wet as well. Imagine the whole day walking around in moist underwear until you dismount before you are able to change. The thought of it send goose bumps down my neck.
Got splashed in the face with rainwater by the windscreen wiper when I was standing on the side of the driver window checking pass. I got damn piss off and look inside the driver seat. In the end I could only managed a sheepish grin because the driver turned out to be a young nice looking lady smiling at my predicament. Her smile bring warmth in my heart despite the lousy situation we found ourselves stuck into…Haha. Fighting Fish saw it, felt Sian Ji Pua until he saw his favorite Captain Wong arriving in her Toyota. Trust us to find laughter during our duty even it sux big time.
It was another story when my XO arrived in his car. He gave us the grin that resembled Dr. Evil from Austin Power and it produced an irresistable urge to show my middle finger right in front of his face. Of course I didn’t do it la…
KNN, his men are right there doing his duty in the fcuking heavy rain and he doesn’t know how to say a word of encouragement…only know how to smile like a COCK. What on earth have I done to deserve this?
On the other hand, I might be able to play basketball/soccer tomorrow morning with my platoon. At least there's something fun to look forward to if it indeed materialise into something real.
I Was Born To Love You
Following the last episode of PRIDE today, I think I have just lost another source of entertainment during this period from 7-9pm.
At the end of the day, the lead actor and actress got together eventually. Otherwise, I think it’s really real sad if both person who really love each other but have to separate from one another because of circumstances which do not allow them to be together during that particular time. All the requirements needed for a tear jerk show…keke
Anyway, I think that the upcoming Tong Xin Yuen sux big time. Spare me all those family squabbles! When can Singapore home-made productions reach the standard of Japan serial drama (only 10++ episode but the content is nevertheless good stuffs). And honestly I’m not talking about YUMMY YUMMY shown on Channel U whose voice make-over make you lose interest in the show immediately.
Artist: Queen Lyrics
Song: I Was Born To Love You Lyrics
I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you
Every single day...
chorus:
I was born to love you
With every single beat of my heart
Yes, I was born to take care of you
Every single day of my life
You are the one for me
I am the man for you
You were made for me
You're my ecstasy
If I was given every opportunity
I'd kill for your love
So take a chance with me
Let me romance with you
I'm caught in a dream
And my dream's come true
It's so hard to believe
This is happening to me
An amazing feeling
Comin' through
chorus
I wanna love you
I love every little thing about you
I wanna love you, love you, love you
Born - to love you
Born - to love you
Yes I was born to love you
Born - to love you
Born - to love you
Every single day - of my life
An amazing feeling
Coming through
chorus
Yes I was born to love you
Every single day of my life
Go, I love you babe
Yes I was born to love you
I wanna love you, love you, love you
I wanna love you
I get so lonely, lonely, lonely
Yeah, I want to love you
Yeah, give it to me
It's a Sad Sad Situation
It just suddenly dawned on me while I was staring into space that I have been really unhappy for the past few months. Though I tried to live life as normal ( Tough Times Don't Last, Tough Man Do or Sux It Up Like A Man ), it does not mask the fact that I’m still unhappy over things happening at my workplace. And the worst thing of all, there is nothing joyous to look forward to till the end of this year.
And it seems like a few months ago during this year June period, circumstances were not as bad as it seems. I certainly remembered the “happier” times I spent with my platoon mates during duty or while we are playing soccer, basketball or swimming during our standby period. Suddenly typhoon, earthquakes, hurricanes, snowstorms came without a warning and turn our lives upside down left and right.
Therefore, though we are basically doing the same stuffs as we did before in the past, a lot of changes had take place and they are not necessary made for the greater good for everyone. A common observation is tempers flared up more easily and conversation became lesser as everyone is feeling tired and pressured by forces acting upon us.
Another time I was chatting with the men from my platoon and he was saying he started getting into more arguments with his family because his father remarked what’s so difficult about the job he is doing since he is coming home every other day. The other men was telling me he don’t talk to his family at all when he is at home because he is very tired and it also act as his own preventive measures of avoiding an argument with his family.
Read closely and you can see the relation. To avoid misunderstanding/arguments, both parties must make attempt to understand each other position and COMMUNICATE. But how the FCUK are you going to communicate when your mind goes numb and you absolutely have no wishes to care about all others things around you because you just want to sleep.
I, myself is an example of the above. I don’t talk much when I reach home after dismount. My face doesn’t show any expression at all. My mother remarked I look like Justice Bao and she scolded me just because things are not going well over at my workplace doesn’t mean I can show attitude to everyone in the house. But the simple truth is I’m too tired to talk to anyone, beside there is nothing to talk about and even if there is something to talk about, nothing can be done to make the situation better. Therefore, I prefer to shut up and do my own stuffs. I followed my normal routine of having dinner, watching TV, surfing net and turning in for the night at 11pm, waking up the next day at 0615 to book in cap for duty.
The same old monotonous routine for 3 consecutive weeks until if I’m lucky I can secure my weekend at the end of 3rd week.
Hopefully things will start to get better, not worse after this year has pass. Then at least I can start looking forward to my ORD, be it long or short, at least it give us something to look forward to.
p/s: What started out as a short post started to get longer as I type along. I'm so sorry if it kinda bored you to tears.
I LOVE MY WEEKENDS!
5 weeks of duty in & out, I could finally secure both of my weekends.
I can finally wake up when and as I want.
I can laze around, do nothing and stare into space for all the time in the world.
But of course no one is going to do that.
Even it only last 2 short days,
It is still better than nothing.
No fish, Prawn also can do.
Somehow, after Monday session of super yoga lesson, Wednesday session of ITTP, Thursday session of static PT, my body is aching all over very badly. It reaches the stage where I required Herculean effort to raise my hand to wash my own face when I am showering. Sleeping on a bed is pure torture because all the muscles are screaming for attention. Perhaps this time, I push my limits a little too far and the body is starting to complain. Though Pain is Weakness Leaving the Body keke, I guessed I could jolly well make use of the weekend to give myself a well deserved rest.
P/s: Capt Wong…You are so stunning that you always take my breath away and set me grinning from ear to ear whenever our path cross each other. I guessed you should take in great satisfactions that even at your age and after bearing 2 children, you are still able to command the attention of so many young men with those elegant yet simple moves of yours. (No No I’m not exaggerating at all. You can doubt me for all you want but once you set your eyes on her in real life, then you will finally understand what I mean. Haha)
A Lady's Touch
A lady’s touch
So soft and gentle
So endearing and comfortable
That sends chills down my spine
Yet bring calmness to my heart.
Pity it could only last a second.
I long for a lady’s touch again.
IPPT
Wait till I get my hands on you!

After all, there’s still got such long time till ORD.
Terrorists are fucking bastard.
Why must they keep killing the innocents?
Wipe out from the surface of the earth.
Burn in hell.
Suffer for eternity.
Striving For Gold
Yesterday training session before mounting was tough. Not because we got tekan during the physical training, in fact we didn’t really run much nor did a lot of pumping or pushup. The killer blow was those funny yoga pose that was introduced to us by the NDU trainer. It is supposed to help us stretch those area/muscle which we seldom stretch or ignore and it was certainty no joke. Try lifting both your legs over your body and use your knee cap to touch your head while lying down. I would rather prefer physical training anytime. I guessed in the long run we might really benefit from these training and become more flexible indeed.
But the problem is…I got an ITTP test tomorrow and my knees are weak, arms are heavy after the yoga pose. Like that how you tell me? How to get ITTP gold lei? How to earn that elusive $200 into my bank book?
But jokes aside, the extended numbers of hours doing duty indeed put a strain to our body. Can you imagine experiencing jet-lag symptoms at 10am in the morning while the day has only just begun? The mind became dead, body became numb, reaction seem a little tad slower, shoulder start to ache badly and the long forgotten pain in the knee start to haunt me again.
But Angry also like that. Complain also like that. Despair also like that. Sux it up like a man though. Never ever going to place hope things are gonna get better.
Nevertheless, 1 piece of good news. Weekend for this week confirm + guarantee chop SECURE! We'll be getting our pay too this weekend. Double Happiness huh!
p/s: Anyone know the title of the song sang during the end of the 730pm show on Channel U “Pride 冰上悍将 ”?
Friendster Users Worst Nightmare Has Just Begun
“I don’t know how many of you use Friendster to peep into the lives of your boyfriend’s ex girlfriends, your ex boyfriends, your girlfriend’s ex boyfriends, but I’d just like to inform you that they have a new feature now. You can actually see who has looked at your profile.
My sister found that out only after she looked through her stupid ex boyfriend’s profile. So now he knows she goes through his Friendster. Ho ho ho.
Be careful ah. Don’t say I never warn you.”
Excerpts from Finicky Feline.net
There is actually 2 side of a coin for the new feature. On hindsight, it give people opportunity to know who has been secretly admiring you for long. Others may cursed and swear because they found themselves in an awkward situation. eg: the above mentioned situation you might found yourself stuck into.
But if you are going to stop what you are doing because you are afraid of being discover by the other party, then it kind of ironic and defeated the whole purpose because the new features/technology is suppose to make Friendster an even better program.
And therefore I’m just going to continue my occasional habit of visiting the profiles of my friends and view their updated pictures, regardless of whether they are 1) once my good friends but not anymore 2) still my good friends and will always be 3) yet to be made friends because it is really a great solution to keep update on one another due to the limited opportunity to hang out with them.
Life is too short to wait for that golden opportunity or bear too much grudges against your true friends.
I thought doing a Saturday duty would be a nice and slow way to relax and chill out before my standby week starts. But it was never meant to be at all.
For the first time in my life, I wish that I could give a well-deserved punch to that new snobbish fuck-up NSmen PC who thinks he rule the world. But I didn’t because it is not worth going to DB because of that coward who only knows how to bark rubbish like a mad dog and make himself a clown right in front of everyone.
KNNBCCB, I curse him that he will lose control of his car while driving, slam into a big tree and break both of his legs. BMW big fuck issit? You insolent Dog!
I have notice myself my temper is getting from bad to worse.
Perhaps I’m not the type who accepts things readily. Or perhaps it’s is the many changes which makes us lose our normal sense amid those injustices and very bad decisions made by an incompetent leader.
It is just like moving houses. After all the efforts made to bite the bullet to move and adapt to the new environment, we have to uproot everything again and shift to another same, if not worst conditions than before, never better. And these changes will always happen frequently without any warning so we will never know where we end up in.
How the hell did he manage to hold that position in the first place for so long with that lousy ability of his?
Don’t wish to continue anymore. Thinking of it will only make me angrier.
I think I am going to lose myself very soon. Save me...
Finally after 1 month, 4 weeks, 30 days in out of duty, we are going to have our standby this coming week. Looking forward to taking a well deserved break as well as clearing the off days I accumulated to gain the luxury of waking up late in the morning instead of the usual routine. As a reward to myself, I rented “Be with You” and sorry Eugene, I didn't cry as what you did as I watch the story unfold alone. Haha. But the storyline was nice and it always makes a cynic like me to wonder whether the magical word “True Love” actually exists on this world at all. I have no answer to that…Do you?
Movie Review:
Be With You (Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu) shot to the top of the Japanese movie charts attracting no less than 3.8 million viewers and finally turned into one of the most seen movies of the year 2004. The emotional silver screen treat was brought to life by no one else than Doi Nobuhiro, the skilled director of the blockbuster TV series Good Luck!! and Beautiful Life that became the most popular Japanese drama of the 90's. Japan's no. 1 actress, the charming Takeuchi Yuko (The Ring, Yomigaeri Resurrection) portrays the tragically deceased Mio. Her husband Takumi (Nakamura Shidou) and his 6-year old son Yuji (Takei Akashi) try to make the best out of this unfortunate circumstance living each day in silent remembrance of the beautiful days they cherished together with Mio as they desperately cling on to her final words, a promise that she will return on a rainy day. Exactly one year after Mio left them Yuji and his father observe a strangely familiar woman walking out from the pouring rain...
A very beautiful story indeed. Pity I can only watch it once.
Rating: 7/10
I found my role model. Someone whom I hope to be in the same shoes when I reach 40.
We came across each other path, me as an NSF while he as an NSmen when our duty timing coincided with each other. He is a pilot, fly full-time for SIA, very charming, easy-going, friendly and humble with no hint of arrogance even though he is indeed a very rich man. He is also an adventurer, owns a Land Rover Defender, marathon runner, scuba diver, someone who have wealth of experience and seen many parts of the world. It is always very interesting to hear the events he witnessed, the countries he visited; the tales of his occupation and time indeed pass very quickly when we mount duty.
But it’s such a pity his in-camp training will be ending today and he will not be coming back at all in future.
Yesterday, I got very irritated by an idiot who set his alarm for whatever damn purposes. He forgot to reset it and it rung every 10 minutes. So imagine a weary and exhausted you looking forward to having a rest at 0100 in the night after your duty shift and the fucking alarm which sound like a time bomb kept beeping and when it stopped you heaved a sigh of relief but after 10 minutes it rung again. KNNBCCB!
But I am not the unluckiest. What about my buddy Mr. Fighting Fish who was woken up twice in the night and did a back-breaking morning peak duty of checking vehicle because he learnt that his Capt Wong aka Meng Feng Jie, a 30 years old lady with 2 kids got kena targeted to come into vehicle check area. You may choose not to believe it but such was the extent of her charm that we are all bowl over by her presence. Unfortunately, amid all the efforts and preparation Mr. Fighting Fish put in, Capt Wong did not turn up for work today.
My condolences for him.
