Rest. Rest.

Today. Second off day. Might be able to rest the fatigued mind, well i have gave my tired body the entire whole day! Since i got home yesterday, i was in bed till evening and then i went back to bed at night. Till i had a backache.

Had a nice tour the past days. The incidents are quite managable. Hey, talking about that, about the Cineleisure case, i must say: i am NOT the first PO this time. Not everytime. But i have heard how pityful the person is. Nothing else i heard.

Today. I do not know whether to go to Creative and collect the Zen Micro. Felt much like doing so, especially when there are road works happening down at the tar road at the carpark along the void decks. They are making a new exit for the carpark, and i really had nothing else much to do anyway. i could do with a shopping around Jurong point, or catch a movie there after collecting the player. Well, i will see if the situation permits my actions today. If the day agrees with my thoughts.

Been Stood Up

Hey, Russell, youu stood me up. Sad man. It's only a minor headache. Sigh. Our friendship is on the threat of a small headache. Haha.The thing is that, i tried calling you up for aapproximately 45 minutes, from 4:45pm to 5:30pm. No reply. Time wasted only. I was so excited to watch that movie. Actually i had a movie marathon event in the afternoon, watching Son of the Mask and Daddy Day Care. Funny show, but Son of the Mask was totally nonsense. Although it's sort of strenous to my eyes, but for the movie, and for going out with friends, i do not mind. I tried messaging Russell sice the afternoon,but then he replied with a message saying he is having a headache. GGGRRR!!!

Anyway, i called up Aloysius right after the last time i tried to call Russell, at about 5:31pm. Then he invited me to his new place. Gladly i accepted the invitation because i do not want to waste a saturday day off. So i sped off and bulleted towards the bus stop.

Just as i reached his place, Valerie called up. I informed her about my curent status and then did not join her in her proposed activity. Oh, wow! Aloysius's new place is big, so much bigger compared to the condominium unit he used to stay. Although some of the furniture are already there, there still are missing some. Thus the cosy feeling of a home is still not quite there yet, but i am sure that soon, when the rest of the furniture comes in, the warm feeling of homeliness will soon fill the place.

Next Aloysius, his cousin Rayn, and i went to Tampines to have our dinner. We went to a restaurant Phins (did i get the spelling correct?). I recommended the Cornish Game Hen to Aloysius, and he regreted it much.Not because of the taste, in fact it tasted great; not any like the regular chicken, but it is the way that he (or he do not know how to) cut the chicken that made him regret. Rayne had a steak with a tinge of alcohol, and i had Kelong Delight. I should say the Tampines branch is not as good as the Bugis Branch. Somehow the taste lsot out by a bit, but overall, i would give the restaurant a 8/10 points! Anyway, he mentioned that that would be my Birthday treat, well, i am fine with that!

Tata for now! (",)

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Yesterday, as usual, i went jogging. I met the girl next door, well, more of the girl next block. She is this interesting girl, with loads of wild ideas in her mind, such as passing items by throwing it acorss the block, or using torch light morse code to talk across the block. I met her and her another friend at the park where we all jogged, I tried inviting them to a drink at the coffee shop near to our place, but both of them rejected the offer, saying that they are going to have dinner when they reach home. Her friend also a churchmate, reached her place first, as it was nearer from the jogging place. Then we continued to walked towards our block. She was so worried that people always get her and her sister's name mixed up. Well Candice, i for one, do not have that problem. I can tell you apart from Samamtha. Being a pilot is sure hard work, even for the boys. I really do not know if the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) takes in female pilots. I know they have other key appointments which are being held by female officers, but I am not sure about pilots. Well, Candice, if one have a dream, one got to find out how to fulfil it. Oh ya, then we were talking about a guy's appitite and that he eats everything when we were approaching the coffee shop. Well, do we really eat everything? Guys, say something, defend youeself! One thing for sure is that, for so long I have been in church, this is the first year that I have really get to know more people from the other Church ( 1 Building holding 2 Church. Mine, for the chinese speaking community, and theirs, for the english speaking community).

Today, i did not go out with Russell, neither did i go to Creative. It was too late by the time i finish typing my entry just now, should have decided earlier, really. I was disappointed with the decision. But besides the bad decision made, the weather did not really grant anyone the permission to go out. The rain simply keeps one in; makes me want to stay home instead of getting wet. That comforted me a bit. I then called up Russell, and i can hear that he was also a little dejected, but he made me promised to go out with him on saturday, I'm okay with that. Haha. After that, i stayed home and had a great dinner.

Tomorrow is my day shift. It is not the end. After the shift, there will be a operation going on. So my working hours starts on 19october 0800 till 2000, then at 2200 report fot operation and it will end at 20october about 0700 hours. In a sense, in any organisation, whenever is punctuality a problem? Usually we will need to report earlier and kock off later, that is all. Technically, it is about 24hours, plus plus plus... ...

Gotta sleep now! For tomorrow! (",)

Wah! Sightings!

It woul be weird if you are an office worker and suddenly, one day while working, your friends (lots of them) pop up right in front of your face. But it will not be if you are doing field work and you get to walk the streets of Orchard Road, especially on one of the Saturdays. Last saturday, 15october, my team was dispatched to attend an incident along Orchard MRT station underpass. While proceeding to the exact location,my partner saw her frined, while i was wondering what was the probability that i would chanced upon mine, Daniel and Minqi (JC peeps) saw me, well, as expected, Daniel gave me a very gay slap on my arm. I was initially a bit shocked to see them, but got over it a second later, as I need to concentrate on my job. At my standby point, the underpass itself, Joe Koh (Secondary school buddy) chatted with him, he asked me about my NS and was sort of comparing with his, he also commented that i did not change one bit since the last time he saw me. Haahaa, is that good or bad news? Next I saw the Police OCT guys Xiao Hui, thought he did not reconised me, and also Song Loo, who gave me a very warm smile and waved to me. My team was stuck there for about 3 hours and man, our poor feets were tired. The day was not complete yet for without the next incident which adds to more torment to our legs. Right after we left the underpass, along the filter lane of Scots road into Orchard road, an accident, right in front of our eyes, actually it was right behind our heads. We were walking from a Toyota Wish parked at the end of the filter lane, when a motocycle sped past us and smashed right into it. We had to get the ambulance and to inform the incident to the various departments while standing. Directing taffic, waiting for Trafic Police arrival, and looking after both parties. Tired legs. Few case, but long procedures.

Well i was accused of seeing something that i did not see, and because i was true to God, true to myself, that i would be like Job, that i have made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl (Job 31:1). Well, it was like this, there was a commotion among a couple, and by the time my team arrived, the guy was like pulling and tugging the girl. As she was wearing someting like a tube, certain something should be out on the lose according to me partner. We were right in front of them, when i saw to that they have stop the struggle, i saw the girl pulling up the tube like dress. During debriefing, they were like teasing me saying that i should have. I denied i saw anything. Truth. My TeamLeader jokingly commented that he know that I did not see, but since the whole team was so sure that i did, it was really such a waste that i did not. Well, i beg to differ. I have a covenant with my eyes you know, and I have a covenant with God.

And yet, the tour was not completed yet when we had not once again came across incidents during my night shift on the 17october. Some security guard has to be so fussy such that he had wanted the Police to do something when someone kicking some bin along the road, the best is that he could not really tell if the damages were done by the people whom he pointed out. It was during our standby at a certain Nightspot along Orchard Road. Well I have learnt a lesson to ask when in doubt no matter how pissed off or how busy my in-charge is, and to record the correct person's statement. Silly me.

Today, now is 1645, and i am still considering if i wanna go out or not; to Creative to collect my cousin's Zen micro and for a movie with Russell after that. We will see.

2nd event, coming right up

The Next event, was also near. At Pasir Ris. it was Andy's birthday celebration in advanced. Well, it was meant to be a surprised ne. But things went a bit wrong here, and a bit haywired there. The suspicion factor was basically, there. Yupp, it all started when early in the morning when Andy found out his mom had bought alot of fresh ingredients, commonly used only for steamboat. Next was Amanda showing him her phone displaying the missed calles from Andy's mother new number. Earlier, on a different date was Leo's and Bamboo's miscommunication about going out with him one of the coming saturdays.Subsequently the afternoon og the 24th was a hard time for Amanda to keep Andy away from home while preparation works comence.

We had a hard time laughing real hard after the steamboat dinner, and the cake treat. Why? Because all of us dig out several "Campfire games" such as [Black Magic], [How many mae mae jumped over the wall], [1 2 3], [I like mummy but I don't like mum] etc etc. But one of it was one weblink Aloysius just found on the Web. We used real dice to play the game at Andy's place. http://crux.baker.edu/cdavis09/roses.html Try it, its called [Petals around the rose] take note of the last sentence of the first paragraph of the Background. The funny part is not about figuring out the pattern of the game, but figuring out the pattern of Bamboo figuring out the game. I am telling you this, it was really a hard laugh. Haahaa!!

What a wonderful day. Yupp, it was one of the saturdays (24th sept 05) when i have 1724, a fellowship of my church that comprises people of 17 till they are 24! Cool combination. I remembered that day was emotional. Remembering the times about 5 years ago, when my Student Fellowship organised a night tour, and the last destination was Changi Beach. On 24th, it was a picnic outing, and while on the journey, we passed by the route when we used to reach Changni beach 5 years ago. Fascinating.

Emotional would be the right word that day. Because Qin Qin was sharing about her plans for her future; retaking O's english as she required the grade to enter the Polytecnic, and as such the date clashes with her trip to Taiwan for the Church's chior. She had mentioned that she had missed the trip the last time, both the paper and the trip are very important to her future. Emotions filled the air. I need not spell out what happened next. Well, we (SFers) had just received news that she had been accepted into the Polytecnic of her choice, which means that she could rest assured that the results O'levels English paper will not make much of a difference to her future now! Glory to the God!

Well another emotional event happened on that day, if you consider being hysterical to be an emotion. After the sharing session we had a short game of frisbee. It was when the frisbee entered the waters that such emotion was being displayed on our faces. Excitment turned hilarious. The disc was mot far out at sea, but the continouous taunting of the graceful waves attracted it, like how a magnet, though small, but able to pull the weight of a heavy metal weight. Bit by bit, the disc inched towards the freedom of its own destiny, along time. Against this destiny came one man, a young one, hot-blooded, well, sort of. Using his intelects, initially, with improvisation, a stick to lure the disc back to where it belongs. But the elegant waves has been out too far, too dangerous. With the last breath, the man though that if he had missed this final chance, there will be no tomorrow for the disc. There goes him, waddles through the now angry waves which attempt to stop whoever wanting to rescue the disc.

He got it. Undaunted by the futile attempts of the evil waves. The pureheart raised his sword, i meant his stick, the shield by his side, i meant the frisbee disc in the other hand. He proclaimed victory!

I found out the truth

Actually, a lot of people have been wondering why i ipdate up blog so irregularly, and also at such a long time lapse. This is because, i have some problems with the computer/s at home. Either they refuse to connect or the computer system is totally down. My own's mainboard was short-circuited and my sis's had a bit of trouble while connecting, because there was an additional phone to the router, once removed, well, all is fine. Sad Life, without connection...

Upcoming are the entries for the recent events!! (",)
