The Blog Around The Corner

Sunday, October 31

ISO 9002?

Are my Blog entries of a poorer quality than before?

Are they less fanciful in content?

Are they less well-thought of?

I admit there is a change in my style of writing. The words came out faster and entries had fewer modifications after the initial draft. The result could be a blunt entry with more words than it should. The thing is, I find such a style of writing to be more truthful and reflects the facts more accurately. While the contents are less fanciful, it made up for in straight-forwardness. There is little fabrication and I do not made up stories which doesn't reflect the actual events.

$5.20

That is the cost of parking at Lot 1 for 4 hours on a Saturday afternoon. Expensive eh?

Went singing with Yunhong this morning as planned. Only the two of us at first, so we got to sing our hearts out. The Jay Chou's new songs are avaliable there. So too is Fish Leong's new hit. Hongtao joined us after his driving lesson. It's only $23 for the K Lunch period. You order a set meal from a choice of 3 and you get to sing for free. One of the best KTV package right now. The meal even comes with a drink which would normally cost at least $5.

Walked around after the singing session. There's this mega sale of some sort at Lot 1 this weekend. Spent something like $100 and you get to win a $10 discount voucher. And they are giving away goodies bags when you present a cut out coupon from a chinese newspaper which I forgot. Times are bad. Such promotions are a real hit with the heartlanders.

Going to wash the car now. Meeting Ben and DJ for coffeebean later. Seeya later~

bUrrRr...

It rained like hell just when I had packed all the carwash stuff into 2 big pails. Oh well... not to say that I am lazy and never take car of the car. It's just not my day to wash the car. So I went to watch TV. Discovery channel again. This time on Extreme Machines, they are showcasing the powerful Americans submarines. Underwater killers that can remain submerged throughout the trip across the North Pole. Stealth weapons that are capable of launching a fully equiped twenty man Navy Seals crew underwater. And these are only what they are willing to reveal on national TV. Imagine the amount of secret hidden technologies in the world. Maybe aliens are really kept under Area 51..

Testimonials

Just finished writing a Friendster testimonial for one of my secondary school friend. Basket.. wrote one testimonial but got complain by two people. One is the person I wrote for and another is by a reader of that person's testimonials. Both of them should be happy at the new testimonial.

Updates...

My computer went bonkers again. Auto shut down after a successful boot-up. Lucky I still have my sister's laptop to fall back on. Took half today after yet another boring duty. Went home to check out the spolit computer and couldn't bother to fix it. Turned to TV instead. It's been a while since I caught any shows on SCV. Channel surfed and stumbled on this program on Discovery channel. It was showing this footage of the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center twin towers.

The show was actually explaining why the building collasped. It first tells us that the robust structure could not have collapsed due to the fire caused by the aeroplane's explosions. Flames alone are not enough to send the steel structure heading south. So why and how did it prove otherwise? It is because when the the plane exploded inside the building, it blew away several levels of the steel beams between storeys. That left a hole within the building, something like a hole in a cheesecake. Next is the flames. We are talking about heat produced by jet fuel. Being extremely combustible, the kerosene's fire are more destructive than normal fire produced from wood or plastic. While the heat does not melt the metal beams, it softens them. This causes the support beams to give way under the enormous weight of the building above them.

The head engineer in charge of building the twin towers expressed his guilt and helplessness in seeing his work the cause of thousands of death. While little could be done to reverse the situation, it certainly woke up the idea of many architects. The incident reminds them that previously thought undestructable buildings could easily be brought down.

Enough of unhappy stuff. Went to play Red Alert 2 with Yunhong at Bukit Timah. The uncle at the counter like don't want and don't know how to do our business. We had to repeat that we wanted to play in his shop that prompted a response from him. And he talked back like one of the contestants in Singapore Idol who couldn't speak audibly. But the shop quite full of customers surprisingly. We paid the money and played our game. Two apiece and even managed to trashed the computer at its most difficult level.

Went on to Kent Ridge for supper at the famous prata shop. The teh si seems to be extremely yucky tonight. The prata tastes good though. Chat about our future while munching over the sugar-coated prata. Yunhong's pursuing a career in accounting. He is making good progress in his ACCA course and is currently looking for a full time job. Its good and rare to see an NSF have a clear idea of their future before they ORD. Wish him all the best in his future. Meeting him tomorrow morning for KTV at Lot 1 KBox.

Duty on Sunday. Sian...

Wednesday, October 27

Back!

Monday

Duty. End of story.

Tuesday

Attended ORD talk. Haha. I am going to ORD soon! Next February actually. Well.. 12 more duties, 4 more months to pink IC and 10 more weeks to clear leave. I am counting the days!

Today

Worked late till 6pm. Rushed home to meet up with Ben and DJ. Been some time since I saw Ben. He's clearing leave now. Going back camp occassionally to do his duites. We went to Lot 1 to play World Combat. Yes, I improved. No more bobo shooter. Actually still a bit lah but improved from the last time I played. Shijie going to Australia this Friday for overseas training. Gonna be gone for 3 weeks I think. After the training trip it would be ORD for him.

The reply for my overseas studies not back yet. Should be receiving it lastest by next week. Well.. I am still undecided..

Argh!

Arsenal lost!

Ruud Van Nistelrooy scored! So did Wayne Rooney! Definitely one of the worst day of an Arsenal fan.

Not only did they lost their unbeaten record. They also lost to their most bitter rival. And to a penalty as well! That has got to be the only way Arsenal can lose nowadays.

The game was highly charged, highly emotional and highly entertaining. It was like a cup final kinda atmosphere. The crowd was at their loudest. The players were most motivated to beat the hell out of their opponents. A great match for the neutrals.

Being an Arsenal fan, I can only say 'We lost the game. Well played to both teams. See you at Highbury.'.


daZ On sunday

Was supposed to meet up with my camp mates for the live telecast of Manchester United Vs Arsenal tonight but something cropped up. One of my camp mate's best friend got into a motorbike accident. The friend broke his hand and leg and is in NUH's Accident & Emergency operating theater the last I heard.

His friend was exiting Ayer Rajar Expressway at about 9pm today. He exited through Clementi Ave 6 - a neighbourhood with a high road accident rate. The exit brings you to a long stretch of tunnel which would be joined by traffic on the left. The tunnel gones downhill 3 metres in depth and you could only see a few metres of the traffic in front.

It was raining today and the floor is wet. His friend went down the tunnel and up only to see a parked vehicle on the left. Unable to brake without flipping the bike, he crashed head on into the vehicle. The bike was damaged beyond repair and my friend was shocked upon hearing the news. He had planned to watch the soccer match too but fate had taken things into its own hands.

Life is unpredictable.. Have you regretted not doing somethings you wanted to?

Yes! Today is Fang's birthday. Hope she don't get drunk at Double O again! Haha. Poor Fenz will have to send her back.

Well, it was a fun dinner at Cafe Cartel. Pork ribs, sirloin steak, seafood macarroni, lagsana, soft shell crab and prawn platter. You name.. Heck! we discount even got a 15% discount off the bill coz they made us wait for 30 minutes. The good manager thrown in free drinks and soup as well. Not bad eh? Free promotion for their good service here. Anyway, it was very crowded and the queue actually formed up to more than a dozen diners.

Took pictures including an embarrassing one outside the cafe. We were all standing there, ten of us posing for the photo. Took us a long time to get it right amidst the crowded shopping centre. A huge relief when it is finally done.

White Strawberry Part II

Take Care Friend...

She appears again in his life. After 7 months of non-exsistence, she stands there larger than life. She was with another guy. While he had gotten over her, she appears occasionally in his mind. Kind of like when he pass by the places they used to hang out together, he would remember the times spent.

During the time with her, he had hoped to build castles with her. He had hoped to sail the seven seas, scale mountains and cross the toughest terrains with her. But now, he looks forward after the bitter disappointment of the eventual truth.

The sight of her drenched in the rain would have been unacceptable then, but now he did not feel much. He would never had let her suffer if she had belong to him. In truth though, she did not belong to him. She never had..

The sight of her with another guy brings a tingle of sadness to him. He did not look her in the eye. Neither did she look in his direction.

He had heard stories about the relationship she had with the guy she chose. It seems like the guy was not as devoted as she is. The guy had a girlfriend just before her.

The guy broke up with his girlfriend just so they could be together. The bastard..

The end result is anything but good for the unsuspecting strawberry. They had broken up after six months.

The strawberry is strong though. She had been through many hardships and she would recover from any setbacks. She is stubborn and would go through to the very end, even if she knew no good would come out of her determination. She is now tired he guess. She puts on a brave front and he knows she would turn out fine.

He wishes her, quietly in his heart, the best of luck in whatever she pursues in future.

White Stawberry Part I

Saturday, October 23

Fustrating

Seems like the computer would not be fixed for a while. Attending this business seminar with Shijie, Alex and Weifen today. At night is Fang's birthday celebrations followed by maybe clubbing after thatat PS Cafe Cartel followed by clubbing after that. But Alex not going coz his right toe nail got plucked out a week ago and is now heavily bandaged. Cant run the risk of some idiot steeping on it. Says it would hurt like hell. I think so too. Imagine the entire nail removed..

Been quiet the past few days. Did not blog coz no computer to use. And also because nothing interesting to write. Gonna catch the live soccer match between Arsenal and Manchester United this Sunday with my camp mates. They are gonna watch it at Chijmes. Hope I spelt that correctly.

Gotta go now. Meeting them at 1:45pm at Somerset Hotel Pheonix.

Seeya~

Still unfixed

Though the computer is still down, the blogs would still continue to come.

Played World Combat with DJ today. Got a career high rank of Major but DJ went one up on me by taking the Field Marshal position - the highest achieveable. Well, k.. admit he's better. He's coming over to have a look at my computer tonight too. See if he could make any good out of it.

Duty yesterday. Nothing much in camp. The ORD mood is getting stronger. Makes me a real lazy bum. The kind I dislike in people. Makes me hate myself a little. Though I have been carrying the kind of NSF attitude throughout the service, I have always pride myself on being responsible to what I am in charge of. Been rather heck-care recently and even my superior had given up on me. I don't like that but well... 3 more months to clear leave! Woo HOO~!~

Haha.

No future employer who sees me with this attitude would ever hire me. But then again, the attitude would be so much different if the environment is otherwise. Take my good friends whom had ORDed. All super slackers in camp, they are now pursuing their goals with an extremely positive attitude. One is studying like mad in NTU, another is working part-time while waiting for enrolment into university. The army is not a good gauge of an NSF's working attitude, it is however a good measure of the individual's true colours and character. Back-stabbers, liars, cowards, greedy, selfish people are plentiful in camp. Often exposing themselves in times of difficulties and hardship.

Well, I am just glad that I am going to be freed ..

Rainy Day

A series of botch-ups as you would expect from military operations.

First the transportation vehicle came late. Then it rained so heavily work has to be postponed 2 hours.

Then another vehicle decides to go AWOL and left us stranded on the far eastern side of Singapore. When it finally arrived, my neck was stiff from sleeping in awkward positions.

Finally returned home after an hour's journey through 5 expressways.

Power eh...

Why?

Why am I able to post new entries on my blog at this hour with my computer spoilt? It's because I am using my sister's laptop to do so. She is back for the weekend from her hostel in NUS. She is going back to school tomorrow morning and the whole week for that matter, so no more updates until I get my desktop fixed. I could use the public computers in the library but they are slow, crowded and troublesome.

We shall see how. You guys take care of your machines...

Sunday, October 17

Computer spoil!

Computer down! MAYDAY MAYDAY!

Computer wouldn't start. Gotta fix it quick! But I am kinda busy these few days.

Duty yesterday. The usual boring Saturday duty with plently of sleep. Went out for a KTV session followed by a movie on Friday night. Watched The Ladykillers. Kind of a modern American comedy show. A little stupid movie which all the guys died. Tom Hanks leads a group of thieves to steal money from a casino ship. Things went on fine till an old lady gotta know about their evil deed. They plot to kill her but ended up killing each other. Its funny but there's lots of dialogue coming mainly from Ton Hanks. Enjoyable only if you are Shakespeare-siao.

Going to the University thing with Zhenguo later. Then maybe meeting DJ and Ben tonight. I think it is this weekend that DJ asked me out.

Don't think my computer is gonna be online anytime soon, so here's next week's activities forecast for daZ'z.

Monday Gonna be in camp whole day which means 8am to 5:30pm. Got an important thing going on. Why.. its actually 7:30am. Made us all go camp early. That's how important Monday is. Gonna be shagged out by the end of the day.

Tuesday On duty. Weekday duty is ok. Hope the DOS (Duty Orderly Sergeant) is a good one. Some administrative stuff to do in camp. Super ORD mood now. Work consist of only the essentials. No more garang soldier like last time.

Wednesday Should be taking off for the afternoon. Could be meeting DJ for round 2 of our arcade rendezvous. Lot 1 as usual. Gotta improve on my best rank of Sergeant at World Combat. Hope by this day the computer would be fix but I doubt so.

Thursday A normal 8-5:30 in camp. No duty, no off, no nothing.

Friday A normal working day too. Could be meeting an old friend for a drink at night. Its the end of the work week, gotta cool out.

Saturday Lifang's birthday celebration. Yeah.. she's a cool 22 this Sunday. A real lady. Haha.

Sunday Pop goes the weasel and God save the Queen! Rest day. Maybe a round of snooker or a game of badminton or a glass of Vodka with whoever is free. End of another week. Another week closer to ORD...

Friday, October 15

Hm. Hm.

Just paid my parking fine of $30 today.

Sian.. it made me feel like I really own a car.

Anyway.. thinking of burning a new music disc to put in the car. Any recommendations? They are most welcome. Post your suggestions in the chatter box on your right. -->

Ya.. that one. Chinese love songs prefered. Techno also welcomed. Been very outdated on the latest techno songs. Had not been clubbing for a while now. Made me wonder what I had been doing on weekends.

Lets see.. last weekend went Malaysia and then Boat Quay ktv pub. Not counted as clubbing coz no dance and little booze. Driving you see. Cannot drink and drive.

Duty this Saturday. Then on Sunday, there is this display at Suntec. Universities from Australia would be showcasing their educational programmes to potential students here. One of them would be Zhenguo. He is seriously thinking of studying there. He have plans of finding a full-time job upon completion of his degree. Speaking of him, he has ORDed this Monday. Congratulations to him. He has finally survived till this day.

Me? I shall see.. you shall be the first to know. ;)

L.F.O.

Fall out an hour late today. So that wrote off the hour gained yesterday.

The world has this uncanny way of balancing out the good with the bad on me.

Whenever I pick up money, I would lose some in return. Whenever I win something, I would lose others in equal value. Whenever I gain time, I would lose it in transit.

Haizz...

Just remember when you pick up a stick, you pick up the other end too.

Monday, October 11

E.F.O.

Early fall out today.

Went to attend a meeting at another camp in Bukit Timah and got to fall out early at 4pm. Boring briefing made me wanna fall asleep in front of the Lieutenant Colonel. Started at 2pm then end at around 4pm. Did nothing much in the morning so this concludes an easy day in camp.


The Menacing Phantom.

Weekend

Saturday 091004

Met Kelvin and Alex in the morning for our trip across the border to do up the car. Another of our friend whom is also driving is already waiting for us at Causeway Point. We cross the Causeway at about 11:30am. The jam had already formed up and we were stuck right at the end. Alex, being the most experienced driver on board, did the driving. No place for softness on the brigde. If you are afraid of overtaking and dangerous lane changing, you had better enter at an off-peak hour. The two lanes were packed with cars bumper to bumper inches apart.

Me and Kelvin did not have the white card and we had to borrow from our friend from the other car. As he was some distance away from us we had to make some dangerous moves to get the two cars close enough so that we can pass the cards through the windows. We zig-zag along the traffic before finally getting to it. Stuck on the Causeway for about 45 minutes before arriving in JB unscathed.

Business straight away. We changed SGD$300 worth of ringgit and headed for the car shop immediately. The shop located in Sentosa is call TayarPro, very Malaysian name eh?

Our shopping list there are as follows:

  • 4 mud guards @ RM$40 including installations
  • Lights for the dashboard meter @ RM$180
  • A pair fo silver coloured wipers @ RM$36

Went to another shop further down Johor Baru call Kim Yong. We bought a new horn at that shop. The horn initially cost RM$58 but an effortless bargain brought the price down to RM$50 plus installations. One piece of advice for shopping in Malaysia, also bargain for the lowest price possible. Similiarly if you are going to shopping centres or their pasar malams, you have to bargain with them or else you would be treated like cai tao.

So that concludes my first driving trip to Malaysia. First of many to come..


Cool black body. Spent two whole hours cleaning it.

Sunday 101004

Had a hair cut today at Bukit Batok Central. $22 for cut and wash. Done by a Malaysian hairdresser. Actually wanted to have the hair cut in Malaysia yesterday but Alex rushing back to catch the Euphoria 2004 concert with his girlfriend.

Went out with Ben and DJ after that. I was super hungry. It's 5pm and I have not eaten my breakfast yet! I was rushing to pick them up so that I could get some food for my empty stomach. Then DJ was late, followed by Ben! Made me wait! I woudn't had mind if I wasn't that hungry.

Speed all the way down to Plaza Singapura and settled for the food court there. And what did I order? A bowl of kim chi plus rice. Argh! The picture looks nice but it is actually a bowl of vegetables. The soup also taste a bit funny. Sort of hot and sour like Korean tomyam. Think the best part is the side dish of ikan bilis. Dessert was better. A bowl of ice longan and mango. That is the best combination. Highly recommendated.

Stomach filled, we moved on to enjoy our weekend. A round of arcade first - Formula One racing to warm up our day. I came in 2nd, 3rd and 2nd in our three games. Finally got to drive my Enzo Ferrari. Ha!

Next up chilling session at Boat Quay. Went to this KTV pub DJ's friend had a share in. Newly open along the back alley call The Risk @ 911. The place is nicely renovated with all the new stuff like the furniture, decor and flooring. The drinks are cheap too. We ordered during the Happy Hour which ends at a late 11pm. $20 flat for a jug of Vodka Ribena and a glass of Coke. There were about five tables filled including us. I suppose it is a reasonable crowd for a Sunday night. We sang a couple of songs each, while munching away at the endless supply of tibits which the pretty waitress kept refilling.

We left 20 minutes before their closing time of around 1am. The excting part had just began...

Met a similiar Honda Civic ESI on the way back. It was a blue colour one and I found out later that it was fitted with turbo. First, I was tailing behind the car when it suddenly speed away and slow down a distance away. Then I speed up, overtook it on the left and place my car smack right in front of that guy. That car did the same to me and the race is on! We sped most of the way down Ayer Rajar Expressway lapping one another. Though my top speed reached is only 140km/h on paper, but it would feel very different if you were on the car. Hoho! The race ended when I exited at Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim. That guy straight on, possibly to Malaysia to top up his car.

Sent Ben back followed by DJ. End of an eventful weekend.

Saturday, October 9

Morning blues

Waked up body aching. Must be the strenuous badminton workout yesterday. Trembled a bit when reaching out for the toothbrush. Haha.. wobbled a bit when brushing my teeth. Getting old liao..

Going to Chua Chu Kang in a while. Meeting Kelvin and hopefully Stanley, which reminds me.. nearly forgot to bring passport. Better put into my pocket first. Wait reach custom then... oOps!

Back really aching.. more updates when I come back.

Seeya!

Friday, October 8

How are you today?

Good? No? Nevermind, tomorrow will be better.


View outside my block's corridor. Yusof Ishak Sec school on the left & ParkView condominium on the right.
Tomorrow is... a Saturday, a weekend, pay day, when I am going to JB..

Tomorrow go JB to do up the car. Gonna fix up a few things.

The air-con is not very cold. Gotta top up the 'air'.

The wiper needs changing. The rubber does not wipe away water efficiently.

Change the dashboard. The original dashboard isn't very ugly but will change it if have spare cash. Top up the brake fluid. Gotta get the best for the car. Change the engine oil. Recommends buying from Singapore and bring over for them to change it.

That's about it. Quite a bit to do. Wake up tomorrow morning and hopefully the traffic is not heavy yet when we cross the Causeway.

Thursday, October 7

Day by Day

Wednesday 061004

To complete my very unlucky affair with the car, I saw this piece of paper chucked between the car wiper. I took it out and my worst nightmare came true, I had been given a summon!

$30 dollars for parking without coupon!

What the hell!

I had parked the car at my house's residential carpark overnight. No season parking coupon of course. Then the asshole came and booked me. Haiz.. wanted to show you all the fine slip but lazy to set up the scanner.

Went for work in a car which had a punctured tyre and a summon.

Thursday 071004

Took half day today. Went home bathe and rushed to meet DJ. He going to Orchard to buy CD. We went to HMV, Cineleisure's Sembawang Music Store and then to the Orchard MRT's Sembawang Music Store. Finally got Aaron Kwok's new compilation CD. Had a drink at MOS Burger. Catch up a bit on each other's life. Had a sudden enthusiasm to play arcade. There is this specific first person shooting game call World Combat. Set in the world war and very much like Saving Private Ryan, you take on the role of a Private and fight your way up the ranks with each shot you make. Played the game at Lot 1. DJ played it first time. Me second. Not very good yet, but will be better. I love the game.

Got another appointment to make. Went to Jurong East to my friend's grandmother's wake. He is my Army's course mate. His grandmother, age 84, passed away peacefully in her sleep. That is how I want mine to be too.

We were talking at the table and the Taoist priests were chanting behind us. I caught what they were chanting and it sounds like English to me. Know it couldn't be but it sounds funny to me. Tried my best not to laugh. There weren't many people around but it is inappropriate and embarassing. Spent a couple of hours eating peanuts, chatting, just basically sitting around before going home. Tired out after a day with little rest.

Life is fragile, cherish it.

Damn suay

Was driving the car today when the tyre when punctured.

How unlucky can one get?

Was driving from home to camp just now when the car feels funny. It was like the wheel had a hump on it. Like a basketball with an odd protrution on it. The car feels like going over a small hump every split second. I was wondering if there's a loose nut on it.

After an inspection of the car, I saw the front left wheel flat on its belly.

Sianzzz....

Went to the petrol kiosk to pump up the air. Was very nervous. Haha. Never use the air pump before. Scared of making a fool out of myself. But luckily it was fairly easy to use. It even has a kPA / PSI converter table and almost idiot proof guide on the pump. Everything's digital. You press in the pressure you want, stick the pump into the nozzle and WA LAH!.. an inflated tyre.

While doing that, I noticed a small area, about fifty cent coin big, on the tyre that was scrapped off. The part of the metal rim just beside that damaged area was also scratched. Perhaps the small cut was the caused of the leaking tyre. Gotta wait till tomorrow. See if the tyre can hold out till the morning. I doubt so..

Monday, October 4

Soccer

Just finished watching the match between Manchester United and Middlesbrough. The game ended 1-1. Steaward Downing scored fro Boro in the first half, Alan Smith equalised late in the second half.

Manchester isn't the team it used to be before Beckham. Now, it doesn't get the kind of praise when it was dominant years back. Instead, it struggles to win games and often come from behind to draw.

daZ'z an Arsenal fan.

New Police Story

Watched another movie today.

One of the best Jackie Chan movie around.

It is hard to believe after so many years he is still as quick and daring as ever. Police has more action, more realistic special effects and more big name actors. Even Wu Bai got a cameo role. Haha. Thought he is Ah Du when the scene first shows the side view of his face.

You gotta watch it.

The Ghost



Yes.. it's a scary show.

Yes.. it has a draggy ending.

Yes.. you definitely wanna bring your girlfriend along for this one.

Watched it with Ben and Dj at Causeway point. Caught the last show time of the day - 9:55pm. Appropriate time to watch a scary movie. Had booked the tickets online earlier. Not much people anyway. The movie started with a scary scene. The girl was in the toilet washing her face. She tried to release the stopper in the basin. She tugged on the stuck stopper and pulled out a whole bunch of hair stuck to the bottom of the stopper. Her face turned horribly white with fright. The water spilled over and moved towards her feet. It engulfed her entire body Matrix-styled.

She was found drown.

The loud sound effect and large screen makes the film scary. First you hear the ghostly sound. Next it gets louder and focus on a girl with long hair covering her face. Then a loud bang and the screen is zoomed onto her soul-piercing eyes. you get the shit scared out of of ya.

Ben and DJ were pretty scared by the film. Cant say I am wrong DJ. Ben covered his eyes whenever anticipating a frightening scene. DJ used his jacket's collar. Hahaha. I was scared too, but I did not jump as much as them. It been a long while since I watched such a scary show.

The story tells of a college student suffering from amnesia. One by one, the friends she used to hang out with died horrible deaths. As she seeks the truth behind their deaths, she discovers her dark past. Intertwine into the story is a dysfunctional relationship with her single mum and on-off love life with a college male.

P.S.: The lead female actress look like Ryoko Hirosue.
