Grrrr I sat my butt SORE from 3pm to 11pm today hoping to finish my Titanic but people count might as well let heaven count, I couldn't finish building it. There were many many many many many many parts to fix and most of these parts were abhorrently tiny..... and I have to use my hands to handle them. But I realised that I have rather nimble fingers hahaha. I guess I am ready to master the consummate skill of One Sun Finger!

*Ahem*

Also, I forgot that I did not have Orange paint. I need it to paint the funnels. And my Gold paint is sort of turning into Metallic Orange. I wonder if its due to me storing it for too long or the gold inside the paint is actually fake gold. Hmmm... But at least the ship is 70% complete. Think I will complete it tomorrow after getting my Orange and Gold paints.



My USS Nimitz will have a friend soon... And for some weird reason, I feel that Titennis sounds better than Titanic.


Right. A random funny picture which my mom took a long long time ago. In fact, its so ancient that I don't even remember when it was taken! But to think about it now, I believe it was fate that "she" was captured in the picture as well. And check out the trailer for the sequel to Titanic, Titanic 2.

Today's banging session was perfect, especially with 5 guys doing it together. Munchkins wasn't half bad too and I even got the chance to change my sex just so to complete my combo attacks against my fellow spies! We each got our chance to SABOH each other and we forged BAD BLOOD against one another ahahaha. One thinig to note: Russian spies are damn inbar! Well, I am not surprised for we are talking about the Great Motherland here.

Met up with my long lost friend Kenene who was once in a camp next to me when I was still a cadet trainee. He is still the same as usual; silent but has a deadly bite, same specs, same voice, same berms and same shoes! The only thing that has changed about him is his complexion.. but hey, like I should be the one to talk haha. Other than the card games, it was talking cock session. And cock we really talked. LTA is still as shitty as ever with his irrelevant subjects. But the LTA has a nice room! That bastard he would have an almost perfect panoramic view of any space satellies falling into Singapore or any shooting stars that happen to past by us. I so really want a room like his. Grrr...

So we banged and munched and banged somemore till the time has come for us to part. Some idiot tried to give us a farewell speech but I stopped him before he can proceed any further. Oh come on, no need to be so formal! Its not like we won't be meeting each other ever again LOL.

I took a bus back to CJ and parted ways with Grand Master Del Monte there, who will be journeying to the Far East (Tampines actually). It was close to 2340hrs already. So I thought I might as well walk home; its not very far anyway. I walked down the long stretch of Whitley Road, a path which I used to take when I was a student at CJ. Then I traversed through the streets of Balestier, stopping periodically to catch a glimpse of old men hugging young woman outside Hotel 81s and Fragrance Hotels. It took me about 30 minutes to reach home.

It was a nice leisurely walk. The night is young and the weather is cool. I was immersed in my own thoughts though, but not to the extent that I wasn't paying attention to the traffic lights and oncoming traffic. We should not be sad because something ended, but rather we should feel happy because it happened. All those happily ever after stories are just... stories. Fairy tales are merely just fantasies. It would be best if we WTF? The one hour special Naruto episode will only be out next week? That means no Naruto for me this week! WHY LIKE THAT?

November 28, 2008

I sent a mail to Kelly Services this afternoon. Hopefully they will reply me ASAP on any job vacancies which are suitable for me. No, its not a food catering company, its a recruitment agency. A better one than Recruit Express, so says my gay partner. Better or not, I don't care. As long as they can give me a job, I will take their side. Otherwise, I might start doing something desperate to earn money. (Hint hint: Cockroach mulling in a brutal manner)

I will be going down to a certain 2LT's house later on in the day to play geeky card games with the usual suspects. But the arrangement was made last minute and some people have yet to tell me whether they are going or not. Frankly speaking, I don't really want to go. I want to stay at home and wait for phone calls from either recruitment agencies. I think the guilt of slacking at home for close to 3456000 seconds (thats 40 days) is rearing its ugly head on me. However, a promise is a promise. One word come out, four horses want to chase also cannot. But promises are meant to be... broken aren't they?

No matter. Lets just go with the flow. Who knows the Americans might mistakenly fire their Proton Collider in our direction tomorrow and down, down and under we go! Then I can forget about the card games and meet them for suntanning session down there instead.

Should the Americans really unleash their ultimate weapon of massively gargantuan destruction, even if by mistake, the Russians will definitely take the opportunity to accuse the Americans of Imperialism! Next, we might see the two superpowers at WAR with the Russians being the victor and ruler of Earth at the end of it. This is it, I am leaving town tonight. I need to make sure I can live through tomorrow to witness the coronation of Mother Russia!

MOTHER RUSSIA!
A rainy night. Perfect weather to sleep. Perfect weather for me. The serenity of the night coupled with the temperate rain and gentle breeze creates a very soothing ambience which I like~ I should probably move to Las Vegas where the city never sleeps and I can hang out all night long enjoying the music of the night.

If I have a car now, I will drive to some deserted place where I can bask in the open arms of the night. Deserted so that there will be an element of the supernatural. Not that I want to get possessed or what but I like that kind of suspense. Thats what make the night so alluring, so tempting. Nobody's afraid of broad daylight anyway.

Do you dare to toy with temptation? If you do, please eat the new Wall's Magnum chocolate ice-cream! I really dunno why they have to shoot such a suggestive ad to sell their ice cream. Don't they know that kids love ice-cream more than adult men and lesbian women?

Oh and we saw a Dilbert the Board Game as well. Basically its about office politics. But one line on the game box caught my attention and it set me thinking whether if its true or not.

Useless people that can't seem to aid organizational growth are placed in a position which will minimize the damage they do to the company - the MANAGEMENT.

How true is that? I will leave it up to you.

November 25, 2008

SO, to start being a useful person, I helped to sweep and mop my house today. Not bad, good exercise. Then for even more exercise, I went to swim - for the first time in 2 weeks. I realised my stamina dropped considerably. The distance which I usually need 20 minutes to complete now takes me half an hour. No matter. I will just have to start all over again. Then in the evening, Tit jio-ed me to midpoint orchard to buy some card games. Not poker cards. Card games like UNO. I didn't know he has a geek side as well. Anyway, when we enter the shop (its called Paradigm Infinitum), we felt as if we entered Geekland. The shopkeeper himself is one hardcore geek - he actually likes to play a game which needs 1 hour just to set up and the game play can last up till a minimum of 8 hours. Whew. What can I say?

So we browsed around the stall for about 1 hour and then Tit had his eyes set on two games - Munchkins and Boomtown. However, he is undecided which one to buy so he went to ask the shopkeeper. The extremely over-zealous shopkeeper then started giving us his 1001 tips on how to choose the games which we like most. The session took around half an hour I would say. Maybe shorter. But somewhere around there. Its not like I am not appreciative for his efforts but erm... I guess its more than what we ask for haha.

So in the end, Tit decided on Munchkins as the players can saboh each other. The game goes like this:

- up to 5 players can play. each player starts at level 1.
- we need to gain level by fighting monsters. the player who reaches level 10 first wins.
- in the process, other players can hinder you by using certain card abilities against you. in other words SABOH

That sums up the gameplay. Cant wait to start playing it. My master geek fren says its damn fun. And when the master says something, it is most definitely true. All Hail the Grand Master Del Monte! *kneels down and pray*

anyway, on my way home at orchard mrt station, i was waiting for the train when some auntie, ok maybe not auntie, lady perhaps came out of nowhere and asked me how to spell "proud". I can see that she was typing an sms on her phone. I told her that she shouldnt use proud because it is too common and suggested to her to use comtemptuous instead; C-O-M-T-E-M-P-T-U-O-U-S. She gave me a stoned look and walked away. But I can see her typing something though.

NO. I am crapping again haha. I just spelled P-R-O-U-D for her and she thanked me and walked away with a smile. A pretty wierd encounter if you ask me. But why did she asked me? I am sure her handphone's dictionary gotta have the word. Hmmm... maybe shes trying to flirt AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Nvm me.
Singapore PM to earn almost 2 million dollars -- after pay cut

Agence France-Presse - 11/24/2008 12:05 PM GMT
http://www.msn.com.sg/

Singapore's prime minister is to lose 19 percent of his salary because of the global economic turmoil but will still earn almost two million US dollars a year, a report said Monday.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, his cabinet, and other senior administrators will see their pay cut by up to 19 percent next year because of salary components linked to the city-state's economic growth, The Straits Times website reported.

Singapore is in recession and the government said the economy could contract next year.
"In view of the clouded economic outlook and the likelihood that salaries will be lower next year, the government has decided to defer the January 2009 salary adjustment," the report quoted the Public Service Commission as saying.

The Commission could not be immediately reached for comment.

With the pay cut, Lee will earn 3.04 million dollars (1.99 million US) a year, while ministers will see an 18 percent drop to 1.57 million dollars, The Straits Times said.

Rare public fury erupted in April 2007 when the government announced salary hikes for politicians and senior officials. In response, Lee said the government would pay him the higher salary but he would "donate" the increase "to suitable good causes" for five years.

The White House said at the time that US President George W. Bush got paid 400,000 dollars per year for doing his job.

Singapore officials have said high salaries are necessary to recruit and retain talented individuals, and to prevent corruption.

Teo Chee Hean, the minister in charge of the civil service, said the government last year introduced the mechanism linking a significant proportion of senior civil servants' salaries to economic performance, a system which is working as planned.

"Public sector salaries follow the market up and down," The Straits Times quoted him as saying. "This mechanism allows salaries to respond more rapidly to market conditions."

Lets see. $3 million a year works out to $250000 a month and an average of $8333 a day. If we go further, our PM earns $374.20 per hour. Where in the world can we find a job that pays by the hundreds every hourly? You know where.

See, thats why I was comtemplating whether or not to join the civil service. You serve in the glory of the nation, its a more or less stable career (unless someone comes along to invade us) and once you reach a certain position, you can start practicing the art of Taichi. Above all, the job pays you good money. Heh. Go brandon go! I am rooting for you. You have become a potential candidate for the position of CP!
I went to sleep at 10pm yesterday thinking that its about time for me to start sleeping at normal hours instead of wee hours. When I woke up again, I thought it was tuesday morning already. I checked the time, it was tuesday morning all right... but its 12am. What felt like a 12 hours sleep is only a 2 hours nap. Damn. But what to do? I have been perpetually sleeping at wee hours for the past month. Obviously it will take time for my body to adjust.

But I am starting to feel the side effects already --- feeling lethargic even during the day, going to sleep between 2am-4am and waking up at 9am - 10am, no motivation to do constructive work when awake, can't sleep in the afternoon even if i wanted to, drop in neurological processing and generally just behaving like a bear during hibernation. In other words, I am not getting enough sleep!

If only I could tweak my biological clock like how I can adjust my alarm clock. That would have save me alot of trouble! But if thats the case, people will be hoping to replace damaged body parts like how they repair damaged machines with spare parts. Haha. Not a bad idea really.

While most others are having Monday blues in their offices, I am playing RED ALERT 3 at home! Its a fun game. Really. It will be even more fun if I can play online with friends. So, go get a copy of the game and lets play online together!

The day of the Shogun has arrived!
All hail the Great Motherland!
1 month after I cleared leave and 10 days after I ORDed - I am still jobless. Money's no longer coming in but yet it continues to go out. Not to mention that our world class ever almighty garment still owns me half a month of pay. Its not like I didn't try looking for a job. I did and I even went down to the recruitment agency for an interview. But that was 10 days ago and I still haven't gotten any news from them. Probably raymond was right. Its the recession now. DBS retrenched 900 and NOL, 1000. What makes me think I am better than these 1900 white collar workers? My insanely hostile attitude towards that Land of Pigs perhaps. Whatever it is, I need to get a job, pronto. Otherwise I might end up eating myself literally.

My "G" button just popped out of my keyboard.
GGGGGGGGGgggggggggggggggggGGGGGGGGGgggggggggg
ok. thank goodness the button is still working.

the world continues to move even while I am still at a standstill, gradually becoming a Singapore Idle. I must make haste. Its a canine-makan-canine world.

Janos Baranyai was trying to snatch 148kg(326lbs) in his third lift in the men's 77-kg division...





















... when his elbow popped out of socket.

No longer able to support the weight of the barbell, his right forearm bent backward. The 24-year-old Hungarian fell to the floor in shock, shaking and crying out in pain. If you want, the video is posted below:

A movie series that has span 22 films over 48 years. If it was any other movie, the audience would probably be bored to death by the never-ending clinche plot (if, there are any audiences) and the director would most probably be paying for the production out of his own pockets.

But its a James Bond movie we are talking about here. Like a fine bottle of wine, the longer you keep it, the mellower it gets. James Bond is a legend. Legends live on forever.

The latest installment of the franchise, Quantum of Solace only gets better. The plot revolves around Bond hunting down the culprits responsible for the death of his lover, Vesper (from Casino Royale) and how he matures as person during this process. Memsmerized by the film, I did a brief research on former James Bond movies and was surprised to discover that Pierce Bronsnan was not the first James Bond.

Patience. Remember what you are waiting for.
Time is on my side...

November 09, 2008

I've been looking too hard
I've been waiting too long
Sometimes i don't know what i will find
I only know it's a matter of time
All right.

I am feeling somewhat saddistic tonight so I decided to watch Saw4 (UNRATED) which I dl-ed a few days ago. I was expecting alot of gore but it turns out that the 4th installment of the movie is more on expanding the very-chim plot of Jigsaw and his legacy than depicting the gruesome deaths of his victims (those who does not cherish their lives). Nonetheless, whats Saw without gore?

If you like, you might want to consider these new methods of suicide....



So, the film started with an extremely graphic autopsy of somebody. It is truly gruesome. Everything is shown in full details; the incision of the head and chest, removal of the skull, removal of the brain, peeling apart the layers of skin etc. The DVD quality of my movie made it even clearer. The white lump being removed is the stomach.



This woman was actually killed in Saw 3 but they explained more about her in this installment. See the claw like thing with pieces of meat hanging on it on the left side? There are actually 2 of these claws and they were initially attached to the woman's ribcage; one on the left and another on the right. When she failed her "test", the two claw just ripped her ribcage out. Ouch!



This is a Chinese classic. Five horse split body. Except that they Jigsaw did not use any horses in this case. The metal structures around the bed is meant to be attached to the victim's limbs. The victim's head is also attached to an "eye digger" device. In this case, the victim has a choice; he may sacrifice his eyes using the eye digger device in exchange for his life. Otherwise, once 60 seconds is up, the metal structures will automatically rip him apart.


As you can see, the victim tried but failed to sacrifice both eyes within 60 seconds... he only managed one. Anyway, the officer is not talking to the victim in the first picture. He is bending down to observe his lifeless corpse. See if you can find the hands and legs.





This, I must say, is a really innovative way of killing. The metal spikes in their bodies are pierced in such a way that they pass through vital artery lines in the men's body but non-vital parts in the women's. In order to survive, the woman just need to pull out the spikes one by one and let the men bleed to death immediately. After that, she will be free to escape. Otherwise, both of them can just stand there and slowly bleed to death together. The men is something like a sacrificial piece, whatever the women decides, he will still die.



The picture tells a thousand words. Use your imagination.

At the end of the show, I was at a lost. I totally lost track of what is going on. It is really chim. Saw4 tries to explain more of Jigsaw's intention but the knowledge of what transpired in Saw3, Saw2 and maybe Saw1 is required before you can understand Saw4. As a matter of fact, there is a scene in Saw4 which is the beginning of a scene in Saw3; they are occurring concurrently. I would not have catch that if I didn't read the plot on Wikipedia after watching the movie.

Saw5 is coming out. Hopefully it won't be as chim as Saw4.

November 08, 2008

People always say hope is what get us through the most difficult moments of our lives. Nonsense.

Reality isn't so kind. Things do not always go the way you want them to. Have too high an expectation and you will be smacked hard in your face when reality strikes. So keep your hopes low. It would be less painful that way. Although I can put it that way, it is still in human nature to hope for the best. We may deny something but deep down, we know that we yearn for it.

I would often paint a perfect picture for myself. I would tell myself "I can do it", "Things will go according to plan" and the likes to console myself. That was the hope I gave myself. I truly hoped and believed that I can do it. Then, the cruel hands of Fate came and ripped my picture to shreds, dashing my hope once and for all. The feeling of dejection that comes with the destruction is too excruciating to bear. I will realize how naive I am to have such thoughts of success.

It really hurts to be smacked in the face. Really. But even though I have been smacked several times before, I still choose to hope for the best. Even now, when I know that chances are low.

How many more times must I be woken up from my dreams by the knock of Reality's hand?

You might have defeated me, but you now have an entire empire shouting for vengeance!

Hmmm, I wonder if I will ever get to say this line.
Having spent so much time idling at home, I have come to realise that my Imperialistic ambitions grows stronger with each passing day.

I already have everything planned out in my head.

I am going to make so much money that I can crumple many $10,000 bills and throw them at people for fun on a daily basis. With my unlimited wealth, I am going to sway and influence and ultimately control a certain very powerful country. Once I am in control, I am going to establish close diplomatic relations with some other powerful countries as well. When I have these countries under my thumb, I am going to find some way to merge them all together to create my own empire - the Scarlet Moon Empire. Of course, I will crown myself the Emperor. Once everything is in place, I am going to get my war mahine rolling.

First off, to quench my insatiable appetite for durians and more durians, I am going to invade and conquer a certain durian producing country. After which, I am going to gather the entire populace of that country and ship them off somewhere to be used as guinea pigs for my weapons testing etc. I will then turn that entire country into a gigantic durian plantation. OMG. I can't wait for my endless supply of durians.

Once I have my fill of durians I will start conquering the world. At the end of the day, my empire will encompass the entire Earth. Once that is done, I can proudly hold my head up high and declare that the Sun never sets on the Scarlet Moon Empire!

But, even though I might be the most powerful man by then, it will definitely get boring after sometime. So, I want some challenge. Somewhere in my vast empire, a hero will emerge to overthrow my regime. Eventually, he will gather enough manpower to fight me and in some epic final battle, I will be defeated.

During my final moments, with the bullets from his Carbine in my body, I will tell this hero:

"Well done. You may have defeated me but now, you have an entire empire shouting for vengeance!" and then I will "Mwahahahaha" to death.

After that, my empire will crumble and there will be many many uprisings in different lands. Soon, Earth will be split up into many different nations again.

End of story.

I will go down in history as the first and ONLY ONE man to ever conquer Earth. Sweet.
I also get to say my line and I get my durians too. No other better way to end my life.

With that said, its about time I stop dreaming and start working!

November 01, 2008

A somewhat psychotic conversation which I had with my friends earlier on spark off this creation of mine.
