All right! I just finished watching V for Vendetta. The last time I watched it (with Alfonsus) I failed to comprehend its essence because there were no subtitles and I can't catch what the actors were saying fast enough (those englishman spoke very quickly).

But tonight, I watched it with earphones on and I already read abit of the movie script in advance. Plus, my SAT revision seemed to have boosted my English. Therefore I was able to make sense of the whole movie and my, it was absolufantastic.

Individuality, freedom, intellectual. Its a movie that emphasizes our natural right to live, speak, think and create.

Men were born free but now they are everywhere in chains. How did it happened? If you guys are looking for the one responsible, you only have to look into a mirror. Yes, you landed yourself in your plight. Why should we obey all the rules and regulations? Why allow society to label us as genius, educated or dumb? Why subject ourselves to the rule of others when we were given the right to live our own life? What gives your government the power to rule over us?

Oh yes.

You allowed the government to govern you. You wanted peace, prosperity and security. And peace, prosperity and security our government gave to us. We have almost everything we need; good life, good economy and a peaceful home. All these the government has provided us and all it demands in return is our silent obedient conformity.

Be deluded no more! If you feel what I feel then meet me at the Parliament on the 5th of November 2008. We shall create an anarchy where all men lives free! Mwahahahahaha.

OK. Maybe I was abit too radical but thats about the gist of the story. I sure hope I won't be arrested for dissemination of seditious message. Then again, I didn't specify which government so they can't do anything about it. Mwahahahahahahahaha!

Freedom of expression!


VoilĂ ! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished.

However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

I can't wear it for a pronlonged period of time. Plus people might take me for a fool if I wear it out. (unless I am at some cos-play show but I dun look like Sasuke, Itachi or Kakashi >.<)

I am chionging through Naruto season 1 now and am currently at episode 162. Going to re-watch V for Veranda soon haha.

Oh I am so bloated with food now.

Today was a fruitful day for me. I went around checking out my men on the ground and mingled around with them. I gained much insights from this interaction with them.

Although my posting now is similar to a 2nd Lieutenant or 3rd Sergeant leading a platoon and a section respectively, there is still a very big difference between me and the 2LT/3SG. For instance, things at my place doesn't work the "I give orders you obey" way. Also, in the army, the things you do everyday differs in the sense that there is no universal roster/time-table. For me, my men have to go through the same routine over and over again during their every working day.

Therefore, men management is rather tricky on my side. Some of them even expressed their suspicions about me. But never mind. I will rise up to this challenge. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger!

I am watching TAB TV now ahahaha! Its such a, erm, bitchy show lol. And I am attracted by it!
I am such a bitch lol.

Tonights edition is about stalkers. More specifically, obessessed fans turned stalkers.

Felicia Chin shared her story on the show. Zoe Tay and Vincent Ng also.

One funny thing about Vincent's experience: a MALE fan kissed him on the neck and ran away lol!!!!

For Zoe, one PRC China Babi called from China and proposed to her~~~ Like what the hell haha.

Interesting show lah.

My HOT wants to see me today.

I hope its nothing bad.

December 03, 2007

Ahhh so kawaii-neh!

This is a photo of my cousin's daughter! Cute right! I went to my cousin's house to print some stuff when I saw she had her daughter's photo set as the wallpaper. Its so cute! I can't resist the cuteness of this photo. So I asked her to give me a copy of it ahaha!
KAWAII NEH!
Mom's away on a holiday again but without Dad this time. She departed Singapore for China yesterday morning at 6++am. Of all places she have to choose China. Oh well, its her choice.

I was researching on the market price of PSP and I chance upon this interesting auction put up on Yahoo.

80" Video Glasses Light Weight Version

Watch the latest videos using your iPod Video, Zune or any Portable Media Player on a 80" Screen from 1M away on a device that weighs only 59g.

You can also use it to:
Play console games on your Xbox, PlayStation or Wii without hogging the family's TV.
Connect it to any DVD player or VCR and watch movies in your own private big screen virtual theatre.

Amazing isn't it? Imagine you watching sex education related films.

ALL RIGHT! I have been waiting for a long time to say this:

I SAT for my SAT on a SAT! (I sat for my SAT paper on a Saturday!!!)

MWahahhahaha. Ok. Ahem.

Anyway, bloody hell, the SAT today was like 5 hours long! I sat in the room from 7.45am to 12.40pm~~~ I think gazillions upon gazillion of my brain cells got disintegrated during that 5 hours. Initially it was still fine. I can still focus. But as time pass by (and the bloody Engrish question is as hard as hell), I began to lose sight of the finishing line. It doesnt help that there is a pretty cute girl sitting in front of me. 4 hours into the test I was no longer exercising my cognitive abilities. All I can think of is "Oh my gosh, please just end this now" and I simply just glance thru the questions and "A". Next, "B". Next "C". I think I like "A" more, ok so this shall be "A". To make things worst, my stomach kept growling and growling! I then realised I didnt ate dinner last night and I dint take breakfast this morning...

When it was time to start on Section 7 of the test, I got a shock. A minor one. But major enough to rupture more brain cells. I turned over my answer sheet to the second page where the OAS (remember, the 4D like thing where you shade the circle for your answer) for Section 7 is and then I saw that there is an OAS for Section TEN! 10?! All the SAT practice papers I did only had 9 sections. Perplexed, I asked one of the invigilators and they told "Orh, coz today is Saturday, so got one extra section."

...........................

*I solemnly and sincerely swear upon my dignity as a human being that I am not lying about the reason I was given.*

After he told me I was like "What the French Fires? Is that guy joking?" He is not joking.
So I told Mr. Commando about this perculiar discovery and he reasoned with me: Because its SAT-urday, you get one bonus section. If you take the test on SAT-urn on a SAT-urday, you will get 2 bonus sections. If you happen to believe in SAT-an and you take the test on SAT-urn on a SAT-urday, then you will get 3 bonus sections. Anyone else care to join in?

Anyway, I am really pondering about why is there an extra section all of a sudden.

Ugh. But I made it through. Now all I can hope is for the markers overlook all my mistakes and just give me ticks all the way. This way, they will be able to finish marking early and can celebrate Christmas too. See, a win-win situation.

With SAT out of the way, I am more free now. Hmmm. What should I do?
Its 5+ am in the morning and I am here sitting in front of the computer sipping my 2-in-1 instant coffee. I didnt exactly have a good sleep last night. My parents came back at an unknown time but I guess it would be pretty late. Probably around 1+ am. I slept at 12am and woke up at 5am.

Fortunately, I am SAF trained; I can substain myself with very little or no sleep at all. Even if without the SAF training, I still can "dong" for another day I guess. I am after all, well known for my hyperactiveness.

Knocked off work at around 9.30pm today. I went around and did scarlet teaming exercises with my DSO. We hit several establishments but fortunately, most of them made the mark.
I used two different type of stories to perform the exercises. Basically, I am suppose to create some distraction and then leave my belongings in the establishments and the people there must be vigilant enough to notice it and remind me to take my things with me.

Story #1: I have been receiving several scam calls from China. I am appalled by the frequency with which they call me and how they obtained my number in the first place. In fact, I received another one of these calls earlier and that prompted me to bring this matter to the police's attention.

-Then depending on the response I get, I will play along-

Story #2: Good evening officer. I am here to make an enquiry. I am not sure how I should put it but... Alright, I will be grank with you. Are gay marriages allowed in Singapore? If not, is there any thing I can do to get my marriage with my boyfriend recognized my Mr Lee's administration? Is there really no leeway at all?

- Depending on the hostility of the response, I will also play along! -

On the whole, the results were good!

Work late. Can demand for food money and longer vacation hehe.

Tomorrow is my SAT. I will have to be at STARHUB CENTRE by 7.45am.
Wish me luck!

They held each other tight as they drove on through the night they were so exited.
We got just one shot of life, let's take it while we're still not afraid.
Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided.
And like a fistful of sand, it can slip right through your hands.

Young hearts be free tonight.
Time is on your side,
Don't let them put you down, don't let 'em push you around,
Don't let 'em ever change your point of view.



I love this song. It tells a story of two delinquent lovers who faced tyrannical oppression from their family in their premature relationship. They eventually decided to elope and seek their happiness out there.

Its so sweet and I think the lyrics make some sense too. Why wait and leave fate to someone else when you can decide fate yourself? Ladies and gentlemen, Christmas is coming soon and love is in the air. Do not hesistate to express your love for your crush. Be bold enough to tell him/her I have a very profound affection for you.

Do not spend Christmas alone anymore!


HECK! I am gonna be late for work!

November 28, 2007

I ate Maggi Mee for dinner again. Remind me never to trust my 2nd bro again. He called me when I was still at work and offered to take away a packet of fried rice for me. When I reached home, the fried rice was nowhere to be found. He dint buy it at all. And he dint even bother to call and tell me that his not buying dinner for me. If he did then I could have eaten outside. What an irresponsible guy.

Lessons Learnt While Cooking Maggi Mee Today:

1. Never brew your Maggi Mee like how sinsehs brew their chinese medical concoctions. Not only will your egg become hard-boiled but your noodles will expand alot also.

2. Don't try to cook your egg whole with the Mee. When you break the egg into the mee already, stir the noodle and the egg so that the egg will get "smashed" and distributed evenly throught the pot. This makes the egg ripe faster. Leaving your egg in its untouched condition (yolk and egg white intact) is suicidal; the water in the pot will dry up and the pot will explode before the egg even ripens.

3. Don't go and check for what shoes to buy on eBay after adding a large amount of water into the pot to prevent it from drying up. The water will most likely boil, expand and then overflow onto the stove because you are too engrossed with the wide selection of shoe.

Shit sia. People say I look like old man. And a nerd.
I had a sweet, wonderful sleep last night. I even woke up feeling energetic; a deviation from the usual fatigue that I will feel when I wake up on other days. My parent's bed is just too comfortable ler. Its KING KOIL brand and its freaking QUEEN SIZE. So spacious, I can sleep diagonally and I can leave my Pikachu at the side without causing any obstruction (this morning the Pikachu was on the floor. I think I must have knocked it down. Poor Pika)!

OK enough about my bed. I don't want to sound like some country bumpkin that has only slept on mattresses for his entire life. (Coincidentally, I spent most of my past 18 years of existence sleeping on mattresses....)

Lets see. My 2nd brother's wife (is that my brother-in-law?) cant cook for walnuts sake. She pour the oil machiam the oil price now is $0.01 per barrerl! When I came home, the entire kitchen floor was oily sia! Disgusting. And I see the food I got turned off; the vegetables and meat are actually shiny! You can see light reflecting on it sia. Power lor. Luckily I ate before coming home. No way in Singapore am I going to stomach HER food. One mouth of it and you can pee enough oil to cook another meal. Sheez. Talk about China Babi. Ooops.

Regarding my that matrix phone. I doubt I am gonna buy it. It would cost me around $70 which I reckon is too boh hua already. Never mind about it being the chosen phone. I cant afford to burn my pocket and jeopardize my hobby of playing pocket billards. now what the heck I am talking about... nvm, you guys know what I am talking about. or do you?

"Because I am leaving on a jet plane,
Don't know when I'll be back again..."

Mom and Dad just left Singapore for Hong Kong at around 6+ am just now. They deserved this long overdue vaccation, especially Dad; it is his first time in his life riding an aeroplane.

They won't be back until this Friday. Meanwhile, I will have the whole house to myself. EEE-haw! Ok. Not exactly totally to myself since my 2nd bro is around as well. But nevermind, at least nobody will be there to nag at me for 5 days.

November 25, 2007

How long has it been? 1 year perhaps.

The anxiety which I felt knowing that I have made many mistakes after marking my test script.
The helplessness which fills me when I realized I only have 1 more week to study.
The affliction which crept into me for procrastinating my revision until this last week.

... BIG DEAL!

I made it through my A levels, O levels, PSLE, Streaming Exam! I am not gonna let this SAT bring me down. Never. Final victory belongs to me! Or so it seems. The english part of SAT is really close to insurmountable. All the funny and chim words everywhere. I also hate writing essays, especially those whereby you do not have the choice of questions.

Never mind never mind. According to the Secret, I can sail smoothly through SAT if I want to. Hehe.
I studied about the term "monopoly" during Social Studies (Chapter 6: The rise and fall of Venice) when I was in Secondary 4 back in Maris Stella High. Basically it means having control total control over a particular resource (for Venice, it was salt and fishes) so that you can set the price for that resource. Even if you were to set exhorbitant prices, other people or countries will still buy from you because you are the only one that has it and the people need it.

I haven't really experience "monopoly" (unless you're talking about the board game) yet in my life until today, thanks to Bill Door's Microsoft.

I switched to the Mozilla Pyrofox browser recently because it is said to be much more safer than the Microsoft Internet Venturer. I went to Microsoft's website just now wanting to download updates for my PC but when I clicked on the "Windows Update" link, I was greeted with the following message:

"We thank you for your interest in Microsoft's updates. However, we can only provide the updates in Internet Venturer. Please switch to Internet Venturer and come back again. You may want to download the latest version of Internet Venturer here. blah blah blah."

Its not exactly what was shown but that is the gist of it.

After switching to Pyrofox, I also encountered problems when accessing my Swelteringmail account. Everytime after I signed in, instead of the mailbox interface, a seemingly never ending list of words and numbers will appear. I need to refresh the window several times before the mailbox appears. How amusing.

Also, when using Pyrofox, my MSN Live Envoy kept logging in and out by itself. Sometimes, I would be in the middle of a chat and the thing will just disconnect and as if to mock me, once it disconnects, a timer will pop up, indicating the amount of time left to re-connection. Why would it disconnect and then reconnect by itself in the first place?

In conclusion, I believe its Microtender's ploy to take over the world - the virtual world that is. No wonder up till now Apple's iLife isn't even anywhere near to Microtender's back.

...

Back to my main point; monopoly. See, once you have monopoly over something, you can more or less bend people to your will. In my case, I am forced to switch back to Internet Venturer because of incompatibility issues between Pyrofox and Microtender-related products.

Anyway I am not really complaining. At least now I can view my blog in normal sized words lol. So Mr. Commando, stop complaining about the large font size on my blog and switch to Internet Venturer. Submit to the insurmountable prowess of Microtender!

*Pardon me for all the paraphrases (eg. Microsoft becomes Microtender). I need to practice my English skills because my Scholarstic Assessment Test, more commonly known as SAT, is due next Saturday.

Goodness gracious me. Its been awhile since I last blogged. Well, cant help it. I am a full time Please-man (when you say it fast enough, thats what policeman sounds like).


As a civil servant of venerable significance, I am entitled to a government SIM card where I can use it to make work-related communications. I am looking for a second phone to use this government SIM card. Actually, I already had a phone in mind. I told Alphonsus about this phone before.


Its the Nokia 8110i. A phone that has been immortalized by the Matrix Trilogy. Talking about Matrix... I am reminded of a joke. Here goes:
That was a boy.
His name is Mat.
His favourite subject is Mat-hematics.
He lives in the Mat-rix.
=AHA AHA AHA AHA AHA AHA AHA AHA AHA=
Ahem. Anyway, yes, I am trying to find this phone. Mr. Commando, if I can find it, we can cos-play! I will be Neo, you be Morpheus. Ted can be Trinity. Elleen will be the Oracle. Kenneth is... Agent Smith? Chia Seng can be the Architect. As for Julian... let him be one of the many replicas of Agent Smith!

I have graduated from my 2 weeks DSO course today. I no longer feel resentful, hateful and apprehensive to my DSO posting. In fact, I am looking forward to starting my job on Monday! The reason being DSO is not just about being a security guard, which I initially assumed. Its more than that, something bigger and actually quite important and indispensable.

Today's graduation was a memorable one. I will remember this day for a long time to come.

Everybody, please address me as Checker Yong!

*Hint hint: Checking something is equivalent to inspecting something."
