322 : Pew Pew

What better way to spend another course break again than to prone, crouch, sprint away into the dense vegetation with an assault rifle constantly banging against your back. When in doubt, empty the magazine, that's what i had learnt over the past 2 weeks of training. Night training ain't as bad as i though it as it was used to be, just the weather getting hotter just a 'lil bit and gotta turn up the air-con.

Sure, my mouse and keyboard would get greasy with sweat and oil now and then, but that's why i bought a handy dandy baby wipes to handle all these interferences. I even got my mic up and running to exercise my extensive commanding knowledge online, though during actual situations, my voice was muted in the midst of all the triggering happy.

After 2 gruesome week of day time working/night time gaming, i've finally reached the highest attainable level in the game with all the shit unlocked. Ah yes, spoken like a true lifeless gaming addict. If you're a guy you prolly know what i'm talking about :

Photobucket
Meet Mew-Chan, my beloved wrist cushion rest buddy.

Of course if anyone is interested in adding me on steam, provided you know me, just use my default live messenger email address.

On a different note all together, it is confirmed i will not be leaving this holiday season for another country. Why ? School starts August 2nd next year. And at best i can only leave the force ONE WEEK BEFORE. Manpower directives blah blah blah, cutting the crap short, i will not have enough off accumulated next year for me to participate on all the fun filled events next year during orientation and stuff. So i am push forward-ing my leave next year to "enjoy". I can't believe i am actually applying my disruption, it was just like yesterday i was still eating green packet rations in the middle of the forest.

Now, i'm unfit, flubby, unmotivated and a total armchair whore. Its been ages since i've felt like this, and it feels good.

Back in home ground, my quartermaster is finally back from his lecture-filled-sleep-buffet course and he put on weight twice as much as i did, and i would like to give him a heartfelt congratulations on being a greater bum than i am. Now that he's back, there's finally someone i can finally have a proper conversation in english without relying on too much hokkien vulgarities.

Status : Currently waiting for my sickness to wear off.

321 : Pentium2

1. The ahmi had just rolled out something new, in which some of us had dubbed it as the fantastic Pentium2. I'm quite sure about other organisations out there investing tens of thousands of dollars in IT infrastructure, and safe to say, the ahmi had prolly spent a little of our tax payer's kaching as well. Now the question lies whether the money was well spent on something useful here... I see us clarks as a huge and safe contingency plan to cushion and mitigate all the problems the ahmi has to over. That includes clicking a couple of million times on the approve button instead of implementing a check box function inside their own HR system, of course that's just an analogy of hows it like inside.

2. Been taking loads of taxi lately, and all the taxi uncles are just... mad. They seem to like to talk to ahmi boys like me about their days back in their units. The other day a neatly dressed uncle asked me to gather some ka-kia and pool up money to set up a HOTEL in the jurong area, preferably in twas, where there's a market for erm well... you know...chickens. Throughout the entire journey, he verbally mapped out his business plan, like how much to charge per hour and the size of the room, future expansion into other heartlands etc. . Madness, but fun.

Sometimes, there will be bad experiences. One taxi driver asked me to get out of the taxi halfway down the road after he realised i am heading back to a ulu place called twas in which i assume ITS TOO FREAKING FAR for him to get other customers later on. He came out with some crap that he's got a date in town and he needs to return his cab on time, what a load of bullshit. Such errant drivers should be stripped of their licences, jailed, caned, and then castrated.

3. I just got a surprise gift from a group of old friends for my long belated birthday, and it was more shocking than erm well, pleasant. I'm now holding in my hands a pair of bright yellow (you know those NEON yellowish yellow that super stands out) socks. There's absolutely nothing wrong with the colour i must say, its just the printing on it is just so wrong. I'm not even going to imagine which inane person is going to don on those freak cotton. But thanks guys, the package was freakily fun. On a side note, you guys can come over my place for the night after kuah's BBQ this friday if you want (or if its too late to go back home), got the clearance le.

4. I know its probably too late too... but i'm (trying) going for a trip to some place with snow, either japan or korea to skii this coming 1st week december. I've got 1 month to plan as of today. Interested parties drop me a mail or sms.

5. Checked the papers today, and i can safely assume the press and media are being issued a gag order on touchy issues like suicide. There was some big fuss around my area for the umpteenth time, well you know, area being barred off with police tape, huge police tent on the floor, blood. Thats the problem when we have too many high rise, and public escape stairs functionally being wide open for natural ventilation. My good buddy's mom who lives on the 25th floor had tactically (though illegally) planted some potted plants around the landing to make it less convenient for climbing over the parapet. I have to insist these people who decide to end their life prematurely either have no balls to face their own problems. I do not condone ending your own life by any means, that includes jumping off from the 24th floor.

6. ITS NOVEMBER !!!! Another month ! 10 more days to pay day. Time sure passes by so fast when we're busy. Hmm... I can almost smell my CPF money liao.
