Let’s get the mundane stuff out of the way.

I went to Punggol Plaza today just to have chendol (which was one of the worst I’ve ever had).

I know the schedule of all the prime time shows now, and am keeping tabs on watching them.

With this, I wanna recommend the latest Channel U 10pm show, The Perfect Cut. It’s about plastic surgery, coupled with psychiatry for the added drama tension.

I think it’s a show with a very well written script, well thought-out theme and interesting use of literary manipulation (like the aforementioned tension).

The script was so good, I am willing to ignore the gap in skills of acting between the actors, the funny make up and hairstyles and the un-Singaporeanized all-perfect-Chinese speaking.

ha…

Not to mention eye candies like Michelle (she’s the only glamourous actress in the show, no steal!) and Thomas Ong (with his funny coconut hair) and Julian Hee (with his over-done eye liner). But in terms of beauty, I actually liked the X-factor given off by Michelle’s Mum. o_0

I just saw the trailer for tomorrow (Friday) with Chen Hui Hui, and I think she was very good. ha… Better than in the Ch 8 7pm show lol I also think Song Yi Fei (我要加大！） acted much better in here than the 7pm show.

And of cos, Thomas Ong played his character (Dr Tan) so well, sometimes I just feel like punching him in the face! muahaha! But then, I suspect the animosity was due to the fact that the character was quite like me… hmmm…

But on the other hand right, the ‘feud’ between Thomas Ong (plastic surgeon) and Michelle (psychiatrist) reminded me of Godma (medical social worker) and her meeting with an old classmate (some generic doctor) in and around her workplace. (Thomas: 放心，我医不好的病人就丢给你咯！)

hmmm… The last thing I’ll expect is having the doctor as my godpa (a la in the show).

For those who missed it, I can burn the previous 2 episodes, since my sis recorded it. ha…

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Other than that, I was also watching the Beach, Ball, Babes. Two things:

1. For those who read ZZGY, there is this character called Junwei, whom I modelled his outlook after some random face I saw on TW variety show. And guess what? I found a replica of Junwei in the show! haha… It was the new actor (I never see him before lah) playing the kid brother of Jessica. For a new actor, ya… I think he acted better than that guy who played opposite Fiona Xie in that 水缸 show.

Just mentioning, cos I was quite amazed to see a fictional character coming to life. haha…

2. Mediacorp is overdoing the accept-PRC-propaganda. Those who watched it will know; the show was trying very hard to victimize PRCs, at the same time vilify Singaporeans. But I guess the worst thing is that the worst actor in the show happened to be Cui Peng, playing the PRC character. Don’t know why. I don’t remember him with such bad acting, but he really looked more like reciting his lines than acting out the character.

Like I said, even the kid brother in (1) acted better than him. Please feel free to bring up actors in the show with worse acting than Cui Peng, but don’t bring in passerbys like the Uncle Bread and Volleyball Players A to Z. haha…

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

That 7pm show.

I didn’t want to talk about it one, cos I will go on and on. But since I’m talking about the other shows, I might as well bring it up.

Yesterday’s episode was about Kaiwang (and family) forcing Zijing (Ivy Lee) to agree to give birth.

Zijing’s stand was: Don’t even have enough money to give their 1st child the best, why bring another one to the world and let him suffer?

Kaiwang: I don’t mind having more kids, more kids the better. I can still give him/her the best I can afford. People in the past also have lotsa kids.

Those who know me will be able to guess straight away that I CONDEMN THAT KAIWANG TO HELL.

1st, being able to give the best he can afford to his child DOES NOT EQUATE TO giving the best to his child. The poor kid will still suffer from the lack of headstart, financial support in studies and have a HELL OF A HARD TIME doing catch up.

2nd, People in the past have lotsa kids, which explains why the society in the past was backward. Spreading limited resources between many kids resulted in all the kids receiving less than ideal education and therefore resulted in retardation of progress to society.

If that Kaiwang is earning millions by the month, I won’t even bother if he decided to give birth to a football team. But his family only has a few thousands in savings and he still has the cheek to want to give birth to more kids! WTF!

Irresponsible parents like him are the cause of societal problems!!

grrrr!!!

p/s: I apologize for my English that seems to be getting worser and worser (another version is more and more worse). But I have been thinking in Chinese almost non-stop for the past few days. ha… I really felt like a pathetic writer this afternoon when I wandered around Punggol Plaza aimlessly, just to get a break from all the writing… lol

The original meaning for a person being ‘臭屁’ is something like a person who is thick-skinned. My definition is that the people stinks like 5 weeks of shit. haha… Cos after reading xy’s entry (dunno can link a not, cos later end up the VIP sees it, ha!), I began to recall the shittiest persons I’ve ever met.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

5) Inconsiderate Fucker

She’s a recent thing. She’s here to make up the numbers (I have to make it seem as though the world is full of Shitty People to make this list compelling mah). Anyways, she looks like a piece of shit also.

Short and sweet (I mean this section, not her nor the shit she represents)

4) This Armourer in Brunei

The background of Brunei is below, but just know for now that while at Brunei, we had to take over this armskote from the armourer, who was in charge of all the armskotes in the Brunei camp.

He just had a shitty attitude. But slutty is a better word. He acted like a diva, and had that condescending attitude.

“Three magazines missing? Sign.” *walks away*

His actions were very diva-ish, machiam like *some slut’s name* who is good at guns tired of checking guns everyday.

He actually made me feel like puking more than slapping him. haha!!

3) Some Unknown Spec from another company.

We were at Brunei. We were about to leave Brunei. Alpha and Bravo came back the night before, and leaving the camp the next morning. My company (Charlie) just returned that night and only needed to leave the morning after next. So, logically, the guys in the company would take their own sweet time to return their stores (We had one whole day the next day). What’s more, all the de-briefing by OCs and officers were much more important (I may sound sore, but I am really sincere about the statement lol) than returning stores.

Armskote is independent of other companies, except for the fact that armskotemen are tasked to take care of signal sets (cos they cost a BOMB, and the armskote is the most secure room in the company), which were in turn, loaned from the Brunei camp by this spec from Bravo, for the whole company.

Oh, did I say Bravo was leaving the next day?

So the Bravo spec was urging us to return the Charlie sets so he could prepare to leave. I understood him and I tried to contact everyone in the company who loaned the sets (we were in BRUNEI, so I couldn’t use hp. I had to track EVERYONE down on foot, and they happened to have briefings everywhere in that bloody mountainous camp). By 9pm, I still couldn’t get all the sets.

Did I mention that they were leaving ONLY next morning?

Anyways, that spec was a nice guy. It was his fren suck-cock buddy (SCB, happens to be one of the parameters that gave me problems in my FYP) who was being an ass.

He screamed and screamed as though he had concrete evidence I didn’t do my best to get the stuff. BUT hey, I couldn’t actually interrupt my OC’s debrief and ask to have some of his specs leave the training shed to return signal sets for ME right? Or in any case, for a spec?

I tried telling him, “I did my best, but my company is…” (I remembered VERY vividly he didn’t give me a chance to explain)

“WHO ARE YOU TO TALK TO ME THAT WAY? YOU ARE JUST AN ARMSKOTEMAN!”*

Nabeh chee bai…

“YOU KNOW I CAN KNOCK YOU DOWN AND RECOMMEND THREE EXTRAS?!”

I know, but you are only a 3SGT, and I’m a CPL. YOU can’t punish a man only ONE rank lower than you.

Whatever.

I kept my mouth shut despite him throwing his weight around (my 必杀技 in army was to victimize myself cos then the whole company would be behind me) and just nodded my head.

I knew that whatever he did to derive satisfaction, he would not be happy for long. I had my value in the company (most experienced ’store manager’, plus my colleague was new to logistics management), so if I am out of work due to one reason or another (especially at a time when everyone was dying to get out of Brunei), he will get it when he returns home.

He then decided that we return whatever we had first. So we took everything out into the yard in front of the armskote (it was nothing, just a few hundred kg worth of sets) for his fren to check through (SOP mah). By ‘yard’, it implied the ‘oldness’ of the camp, where the armskotes were fenced, so we had to carry the sets around the fence (my armskote also happened to be far from the gate) to the space in front of the signal store like 20m away. When we were done carrying everything out, he wanted us to bring everything in.

What the…

That was not the last straw. That SCB must have taken drugs at dinner.

He started scolding his platoon’s soldiers, whom he had ordered to come and help clear the store. By soldiers, I mean those chiong sua ones who can’t really be bothered with stores. Who in the world have the mood to clean stores for the whole company when they just finished 3 rounds of shit in the jungle??

Anyways, that f**ker (haha… I’m using this when the rest of this post is the word in full glory, cos by law, I am not supposed to insult these people by virtue of their army roles) just insulted one of the soldiers and even made crude remarks about the guy’s mother. By that, I don’t mean the generic KNNBCCB. The soldier was crying and saying,

“People have mother one you know?” (come to think of it, he orh bi mention his mother)

“YOUR MOTHER BIG FUCK? I CAN FUCK YOUR MOTHER PUA CHEE BAI AND YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!”

hohoho! Too bad I was only a CPL. Even if I brought the CO here, he would be too late to witness everything (there were only the soldiers, the fucker, his fren and me and my colleague).

But according to my experience, hurling insults to a hokkien peng of a lowly rank only bring about 2 consequences. 1) An officer HAPPENS to pass by, heard it, and punish that f**ker 2) the insulted soldier complains and CO punish that f**ker.

But considering that was a hokkien peng (ie, he most prob won’t have a mother so enthu to make complains), we were left with 3) that f**ker would get marked and some day kena blanket. Serious blanket, not those blanket-for-fun-cos-we-know-each-other-so-well blanket.

Since 1) and 2) didn’t happen, I was sad that I didn’t stay in the unit long enough to witness that.

Anyway, I also heard later that that f**ker was a common enemy in his company too.

lol

Sometimes knowing how to act tough is an ART.

2) Some athlete

He’s one of the shittiest person I’ve ever met, and I have NEVER known him before!!

I was doing carpark duty during 2003 NDP. And yours sincerely had the honour of guarding the driveway that only the PRESIDENT can drive through. I think NDP starts about 7pm (where you have all the National Anthem and Pledge taking stuff), and at 6.50pm, this car drives down the road and tried to take the President’s driveway pretending I was invisible (I had to guard the entrance with my life!!).

I managed to stop the car and it was a young man, wearing some red and white windbreaker, sun glasses and a shitty arrogant face. I told him that the driveway was for the President ONLY (come on, if any Tom, Dick and Harry goes into the driveway, we’ll have a serious security problem!) and that young guy (perhaps just a few years older than me) screamed:

YOU KNOW WHO I AM A NOT? I AM AN ATHLETE, I HAVE TO TAKE THE PLEDGE! WHO ARE YOU? WHO ARE YOU TO STOP ME?!

This road is only for the President, I said. And I was OS: AND YOU DON’T LOOK THAT OLD, PLUMP AND DARK (sorry, but I only know the President through superficial qualities). And YES, I don’t know who you are (and 4 years on, I still do not fucking know who you are, it just goes to show how much a loser/failure you are).

YOU KNOW WHO I AM A NOT? I’M VERY IMPORTANT! THE PARADE CANNOT START WITHOUT ME! WHO ARE YOU TO STOP ME? GET YOUR OFFICER TO SEE ME!!

You see, officers don’t work on the ground, so one of the division specs came and told him:

You cannot drive in, this is for the President.

AND THAT BLOODY MOTHERFUCKER OBEDIENTLY DROVE AWAY （不要脸的家伙！）.

Whoever that guy is, I don’t think he’s all that great. After all, he has NEVER once won an Olympic medal, if not, I sure will know him one.

So much for sportsmanship. He actually made me distrust the ‘promising athletes’ we spent all the money grooming. He made me feel that all the ‘professional’ athletes were nothing but ill-bred brawn machines (IBMs). Given his attitude, he must have now either 1) kena kicked out of SSC 2) killed by ah bengs who were very du lan with his shitty attitudes.

So what if you can run faster than me or something? It was precisely cos you don’t have the brains that you end up being an athlete! This world is the way it is not cos someone could play sports better, but cos of those with the brains and improve technology! Some more you are sponging off taxpayer’s money. SHAME!!!

1) Jacky Tan

He was one of the specs when I was in X SIR (machiam no one knows like that). I think the whole army hated him. He’s the representation of the lowliest life forms on earth. I mean, his aim every book out was to fuck his girlfriend. If he didn’t get to fuck his girlfriend that weekend, he would 1) go Geylang to have a romp, if not 2) book in and fuck (metaphorically lah) the men. But it’s usually 1) rather than 2).

Actually, he was from another platoon (FYI, armskotemen belong to Platoon HQ), so logically, I couldn’t be bothered what he did to his men. I only hated him cos he made me drop 100 in front of the whole company, when what I did was just to do my job to follow the official rules set down.

Worse still, that incident demonstrated the theory of ‘regulars only helped regulars’ (that a**hole was a regular, if not, he won’t be able to find a job outside). My CSM only listened to his side of the story and ignored the fact that he ordered 1) No one should take armskote equipment at will (people used to just come, take and go) 2) NO ONE ELSE except the armskotemen to step into the armskote, the day before.

And remember no one can mete physical punishments to men only one rank lower? My CSM ignored that.

So much for being ethically upright.

That guy also liked to throw the COS keys at my armskote counter, while I was deep inside and shout, “You stand in for me.”

No, he didn’t ask if I was willing to do that, and he wasn’t busy doing official stuff. He booked out to go chiong/fuckfest and never returned till after first parade next morning. Which means, I did duty for him, while he earned all the duty points. And my OC/2IC all closed one eye, which I don’t know why.

I think army really hungry for regulars to be holding on so tight to such idiots.

I also heard that he did more unethical stuff after I ORD-ed. Like betraying his platoon specs and stealing stuff from other people. I wonder if he has died from STDs already.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I just realized that all of the idiots I met were from the army (Come on, Inconsiderate Fucker was just to make up the numbers). oh well, HC people are learned; they don’t do shitty stuff openly. They sneak-attacks. haha… And people in uni are clever enough to know how to keep images bah. At most, people whom I had arguments with made intelligent arguments. If not, their cause was noble enough (to complete projects etc) to shut me up.

Also, the shitty person I met while I was in my 1st unit (that No 2 guy) was not from my unit. In all, my department then was quite people-orientated. My supervisor didn’t even send me to DB when I shouted at him (for whatever reason, I forgot), but waited for me to apologize (which I took 2 weeks of cold war). I think he took into account what happened to me back then bah.

Oh… so I was a shitty person too. haha!

* Disclaimer: All dialogues were based on my fuzzy memories, which only remembered the context and not the exact words. They are, therefore, not liable for court testaments lol In fact, most facts are distorted, like the No 3 guy, all I knew/remembered about him was he came from Bravo

Some smart aleck decided that the stone facade along engin bridge was too boring. That, I agree. But that (or maybe another) smart aleck decided to commission some half-fuck painter (I refuse to call him ‘artist’) to do up the place… into a freaking, ugly mural!

Even the murals in children homes have much better standard than this!! I mean, the pix were so juvenile, there was apparently no cohesion among the elements to hint of a theme (if there is any at all). The colours were mono; no shading AT ALL. Although I don’t really know about colour theory, the colour mix in this mural was definitely an eye sore! The elements were those that even I can draw (what’s with the black guy stabbed by POSB logo, the box with 2 circles a.k.a car, a bowl and a black shirt??)

It was totally a moronic idea to paint on the rock facade!! I doubt even Michaelangelo could draw well on that!!

Statues, yes, carved into the rock or placed on them. Landscape, like they did outside Computer Centre on the other side of the engin bridge, ok. Even putting cardboard cows would also look MUCH BETTER than painting (and note: using very cheapo-looking paint) onto the rocks!!

What the hell were they thinking?!?!

I am so… gonna write a complaint letter to OED for ruining what was originally a good (although lok-kok) facade. I mean, the idea of rock facades along a bridge was quite novel, nevermind it was collecting dust and looked musty.

Like what my lecturer from RVI said, SG is still far from having street art. He lamented those along SG River were disastrous. Well, I think those along SG River are supreme art pieces compared to this… this… UGLY THING.

ARGGGHHHHH!!!

p/s: End up I didn’t complain, cos I dunno who/what to complain. So I posted the pic onto omy.sg. ya… haha…

Hello Earthlings!

Unknowingly, it’s 23:00 hours and I’m still in the lab. Never mind that the last bus is gone, cos I decided from the moment I woke up today to walk back to my room.

To be honest, I only started real work at 7pm. Well, was revamping the blog due to the pix-problems. I also did some extra stuff like… stare into the table of figures I had.

There was this irritating Prof. Let me tell the story from beginning: For the past 2 days, the computer terminal with the best feng-shui was ’soft-locked’ by some idiot prof. A computer becomes ’soft-locked’ when you leave it and it turns to standby, something like a screensaver lock. And when you move the mouse, there will be a password prompt. That was how I knew the guy was a prof, cos the username prompt was ‘ele…’.

I gave him the benefit of doubt that he could have left the terminal without realizing that he was supposed to log out. Anyways, for the next 2 days, the terminal was still locked. I had been in the lab for so many times, so long, that it was impossible for me to have missed him. Even if I missed him, the chances of him ‘forgetting’ to log out again? ZERO.

So I was very pek-cek today, such that I restarted the terminal. hehe… I read the rules and regulations pasted on the lab walls and there was only a rule stating that there should be no soft-locking. The no-reboot rule was for the Linux systems.

Some time at 6pm, this prof appeared. He lingered around my vicinity, sat down some terminals away and appeared very impatient (huffing and puffing away, drumming the table top). Finally, he came over and gave the ‘excuse’ to ‘log out’ (meaning, he KNEW ALL ALONG that he had soft-locked the computer).

Alas! Alas!

I restarted the terminal, but didn’t log in (I was still on my laptop). So he was quite alarmed to see a user log in prompt. I put on my MOST INNOCENT expression and asked, “Got locked before meh??”

On hindsight, if I hadn’t re-booted the terminal, he would have gotten the chance to drive me away. heng ah!

Anyways, that guy lingered around me for a while longer, so I went on to my work. I was afraid he would ask me to siam if I don’t log in lol

He went away, and kept coming back to the lab I was in and hovered around. Obviously, he was hoping that I was not at the terminal when he returned.

Alas! Alas!

I am NOT married, NOT attached and do not possess any humane feeling to actually want to leave the lab and go meet some human beings in the outside world (the lab was void of human activities all day). IN FACT, I planned to stay till like… NOW.

Too bad, serves him right for being so inconsiderate!

There are so many people (and allow me to stress that they come from the greatest country in the world) who ‘booked’ computers by soft-lcoking the terminals. Some high-handed ones put a notice at the terminal saying: Simulation in Progress. Call me cynical, but all humans lie. I can bet my good looks that 50% of the time NO SIMULATION was occurring behind those signs.

And these people, they book the computers and only return a few days later. And come on! You only use the BLOODY TERMINAL for 2 days a week, 3 hours per session and there are desperate students like us who practically camped at the labs! And you actually have the CHEEK TO SOFT-LOCK THE COMPUTER WITH THE BEST FENG-SHUI FOR YOURSELF!

Shame on you! Shame on you EVEN MORE WHEN YOU ARE A PROF!

Anyways, I suspect that although I’ve been diligently tapping my EZ-Link card for reward points every time I buy something from McDonald’s, the points aren’t going in. Cos I got error message when I tried to redeem my points and the points remained the same after I purchased a meal later.

Anyways, to all, please go confirm your card is ‘functioning’. The other time I changed my EZ-Link (the old one just conked out one day), I continued using it to ‘get reward points’ (was at CAAS, so practically eating Mac’s every week). Even though the card I tapped was not activated, the machine continued to show ‘transaction successful!’ EVERY TIME.

I truly suspect that this time round, despite that I activated the card, it’s still not registering points. AND despite not registering my points, the machine continued to show success in transaction, misleading me to believe nothing is wrong until one fine day, when I’m running low with money and needed free food, and realized I couldn’t redeem the points.

So much for being a loyal Mac’s fan.

I bet if the card had been OK, I’d have thrice the points I have inside.

haiz… I hate it when I do something conscientiously, only to find out all my efforts have gone to waste due to some other reason.

Like my FYP.

I must admit I’m feeling a little depressed and showing signs of clinical depression. Like the inability to sleep at will, the lethargicity and the tendency to drift into some blank thoughts. Suicidal thoughts do flash across my mind every now and then, but they do flash only. I didn’t like contemplate about the whole process. I mean, come on lah. When I decided to NOT regard death as a way out, it was cos I knew I wouldn’t have the courage to kill myself. All the planning for suicide will just be a waste of time…

But the other symptoms are hard to resist. Suicidal thoughts need to have me actively think of it, but the other symptoms can just creep in and manifest in me. I can’t control myself when my brain goes into over run whenever I’m on the bed, right?

But whatever. Just take heart that I won’t be saying bye bye to the world. BUT perhaps, some other people may have to say bye bye. haha… If weapons and guns were to be as easily accessible was in the US, then I would go do some heroic acts le… No? Getting rid of some of the people from the greatest nation in the world will make me a hero overnight. Who knows people will start erecting statues of me in kopitiams?

Anyways, to those who are concerned about me, I’ll be going home (finally) tomorrow. I’m staying tonight cos I am supposed to go driving lesson tomorrow at 7am. ya… My instructor said that circuit from 7am-8am is cheaper and has less cars, so will be a good time for 1st-time user.

After lesson, will be waiting for my sis to pick me up. Apparently, we will be going to Sheraton Hotel for lunch, cos my 2nd sis’ birthday is round the corner.

Yup…

And ya… Medan jio-ed me to go apply for SIA air-steward. I very gian, but there’s no point. Even if I do get selected, my heart isn’t in becoming an air steward. Like I told her, the only reason why I’d go will be to prove that I have the looks and capability. haha… But I’m not that ready to face the truth… haha…

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Oh man… My soul must have remained at outer space… I actually applied shower foam on my hair!! My hair feels dry and stripped of natural oil… I’m gonna shed hair like hell tomorrow… HELP~!~!

Anyway, I walked past the Biz bus stop just now, and the place behind the bus stop is cordoned off. Half of the walkway was damaged and the tree right behind (yes, the crane was just inches from the bus stop) was shaved in half. It must have been scary for the people in and around the bus stop. And it must be harrowing for the engineer right now.

So, I took a picture, despite the stares from the security guard in the post nearby and (surprise! surprise!) 2 Indians at the (now cordoned off) bus stop. Those Indians, I don’t know what they were thinking. The bus stop was cordoned off for a reason. The structure may have been unstable after the crash!

Anyways, they were also playing some eerie music. So at 1st I thought they were… Well, can’t really see them ma…

The site of crash. Please do inform me if you see anything funny in this photo…

And the view from the feng shui terminal!

Sorted out the methodology to test the parameters. Entered, arranged and printed the parameters to be tested.

400 Parameters x 5 Values x 5 Minutes each = 5.3333 days.

Tested out the methodology.

Good.

Out for driving lesson.

Came back.

Couldn’t log in to the system!!!

Yes, I felt like suicide, and so went online for ideas. Found the Suicide Bunny to be the bestest

What to do? Carrotlet told me to do other things instead.
