Hello hello..! First of all Happy New Year to all. :) It has definitely been a long year for me and of course for some who are in NS i'm sure. Hopefully what happens in 2007 stays in 2007 like my PC say...

Right.. for starters sorry for the very late response to the previous entry. The camera man wishes to take his time developing, or rather copying all the photos to a cd.

So....enjoy! :)

Taking time off from the lesson to take pictures.

Life as a Company Instructor

CDL Update - Week 1

Woohoo! I'm back! I'm Back!

...and ohhh...my back! My back!

ok I know its cliche...you all probably heard that from spiderman 2 I think..heh.. BUT seriously, my back hurts after 4 weeks of Physical Training Phase. Luckily, I got a week mc thanks or no thanks to sore eyes. You can take 1 day or 2 days off to recover but when you are given 7 days, it can make you lose your mind. Especially if you got that 7 days in sick bay.

Life is good in CD, and I only say LIFE not the food. The worst think there is probably the food. I'm sure 90% of the people there agree with this. Oh well, I guess it is not only cd that has bad food...right? Hmmm...

anyways.... after 4 weeks...

p/s oh is you wanna know what the title CDL means...its Civil Defense Life :)

What is up Next Week: Week 5

Nothing is up next week if you ask me, unless you still wanna know about Hungry Ghost Festival again. It is haze all over again I tell ya, luckily it has been raining, wash off the smoke a lil bit I guess.

Anyways, will be taking a break from blogging. A week or so, to explore new things to add or change to the program everyday. :)

See ya in a few weeks! :)

Rants of the week: Week 5

Nothing to write really, been reading so many complains lately and I thought to myself, does it do anyone any good? Maybe to you. For venting your frustrations over a crappy day maybe. But imagine this, if people in africa were given a blog to vent their frustrations, nothing you say can top their story. In fact, you can already figure out what are they gonna say every single day.

As a matter of fact, I'm writing this post on Monday, 20 August at work cos I can't find anything to talk about in this segment. So I tell you what, from today onwards, I'll only talk about 1 problem for the week.

Alrighty then, last week...what could be that bad so as to...ahhh yes! Suddenly remembered...

Name the bad habits woman has picked up from men over the years...

1) Spitting
2) Sitting with legs wide open
3) Talking like no one is around(...wait thats them :x)
4) Yawning with mouth open
5) Sprouting Profanities

Add more if you have any...

Saw this woman last week. 50-ish, quite plump, about 1.5 meters. When I entered the crowded train, she was already there, standing in the middle of the cabin. Nothing wrong at first right since she's nice enough to stand in the middle of the train allowing people to come in easily. But I was so wrong later on. When we reached Jurong east, most of the commuters alight. So generally there are lesser people in the train and most of the seats will be emptied.

The problem is, have you seen people in the train when they are gonna lay their precious butts on the chair, they kept flapping the seat, is that the right word? OK, what I meant was, trying to clean the chair even though there is nothing on it. Have you seen such a case? Yeah, so that is what this woman did, and everyone including me was looking at what she was "flapping" or tapping at. Thats not all, after she tap or flap finish, she sit down in the middle of two seats!! At the divider, you know? Right smack in the middle of 2 seats.

So what is the lesson learnt from here? If you have already over-do something, continue over doing things. :)

Red Alert: Week 5

Policemen in Thailand Beware! If you are naughty, you could be wearing Hello Kitty to work!

Hello Kitty to punish bad-boy Thai police.

Thai police said Monday they have recruited Hello Kitty, the moon-faced global icon of cuteness, as a new disciplinary tool for officers found engaging in "inappropriate" behaviour.

Officers who speak too aggressively to civilians, who fail to turn off their engines when they park their cars, or commit other minor violations of proper conduct will be forced to wear bright pink Hello Kitty armbands as punishment, police Colonel Pongpat Chayaphan told AFP.

Previously such offences were punished by a written reprimand, but Pongpat said that seemed to do little to deter future breaches of conduct.

He said he hoped the Hello Kitty armbands would shame officers into shaping up.

"I chose this symbol because it is pink and easy to see," he said.

In addition to wearing the cartoon cat on their sleeves for one day, the officers will also have to be accompanied by whoever is the deputy chief on duty for the day, Pongpat added.

"This is intended to engender their feelings of guilt," Pongpat added.

Second offences will be dealt with by a disciplinary panel that could decide to detain the misbehaving officers, he said.

Movie Updates: Week 5

"License To Wed" follows newly-engaged Ben Murphy (John Krasinski) and his fiancee, Sadie Jones (Mandy Moore) - a girl who had always dreamed of getting married in a traditional wedding at her family church. The problem is St. Augustine's has just the one wedding slot available in the next two years and its charismatic pastor, Reverend Frank (Robin Williams), won't bless Ben and Sadie's union until they pass his patented, fool-proof marriage-prep course. Through outrageous classes, outlandish homework assignments and some pious manipulation, Ben and Sadie are about to find out if they really have what it takes to make it to the altar and live happily ever after.

Like Robin William as a funny man? You will love this show. Not too long and not too short, just an hour and 40 minutes show.
