Integra...damn...fast car. Behind the wheels of a 6-speed manual, sure feels different. Especially the heavier steering, difference in suspension, turning radius, blind spots etc. Also, I admit my changing of gear downwards is not that great, probably cos the gear shifts are small movements, while I'm already too used to big gear changes....Overall, nice car to drive ^_^
The difference between sitting in a car opening VTEC and that of driving it...sure feels...good ;) Sure would wanna try again :P

Last minute insertion to do 'calefare' job of VIP ushering, under B2IC's command. Assisting B2, other than me, were CPT Eleana, CPT Katie, Allan, Tiam Huat and Pearly. Pretty small and 'elite' group to usher to VIPs, who are those big shots with at least 2 'crabs' on each side of their shoulders.
The count-down to the event got more and more pacy with less and less time remaining. From conceptualisation 3 months ago to the final product delivered today, it was great to see how an event became alive and real, from paper to reality. Although I was not involved in any of the work, planning or discussions, I somehow felt that this major project which my unit undertook had been well-done.
Throughout the entire process of planning and doing up the entire event, you also get to see the true side of others, how limited their views were, how much emphasis was placed, and how devoted people are to the entire event. Indeed, it would be an understatement to say that the Secretariat was not the one who pushed the entire event through, right until the event day. {Although by then, the damage, if any, was already done and cannot be rectified.)
So, here I was, doing a minor role in whatever I can do to help the unit out to make the event a success. Ushering the big shots is not easy, as we have to be courteous and let them know where the VIP lounge room is, even though they always like to be viewing the exhibition area. Well, we just did reaction-by-fire, and the plans changed when COA left his office late. More or less, our duties were done without much hiccups, and the minor problems we managed to sort out without much fuss ;)
And...it was only after the event that we managed to get a sip of water...I guess any water from anywhere would have been heaven to me...haha.
Learnt a new thing too today: Ladies need to wear heels often to get accustomed to the 'tip-toe' effect (which CPT Eleana told me). This was evident in the blisters which occurred for CPT Katie...heh.
Joke of the day: Where do you get plasters for blisters from? Answer - From CARMO =D

Just returned from a session of 3hr badminton @ PA, then steamboat dinner @ Marina South, followed by KTV at PartyWorld near Clarke Quay area at midnight till 3am.
Was going out for food with my pals after that, cos stomach started to feel...a lil' hungry :P Went to a nearby kopitian near the KTV with the intention to munch on some stuff, but got turned off by the pricing, and had a drink instead. And it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Had a rare 'chance' of viewing a public brawl between 2 men happening less than 3m from us. What happened was that the girl was slapping a guy (most likely her bf) and making a big ruckus, which resulted in many ppl turning in their direction to find out more. Curiousity killed the cat, as the saying goes. I turned away, cos I din wanna get involved in any bgr-public-dispute, esp. past midnight at Clarke Quay...Turned out that a senior patron somehow got involved, things started hurling here and there, and the girl got hit in her face. By what, I dunno, but hell, all ppl started to evacuate as the bf strode menancingly over to the senior patron and a scuffle broke out. Some vulgarities spewed, and the bf actually managed to get hold of a glass bottle lying on a nearby table and attempted to swing at the senior patron. It missed, but still delivered a cut.
Luckily, some patrons broke up the scuffle and the police arrived almost immediately to prevent the 2 from clashing again. A lot of other patrons ran off in fear, cos the 'damage zone' was where most of the bf/gf friends were o.O"
In just under a minute, all hell which had broken loose became peaceful again. 3 more patrol cars arrived on the scene and policemen started questioning the eyewitnesses and the people involved in the incident. The senior patron had a cut to his shoulder/neck area, whilst the girl had fainted. And her bf was still thinking he was right in punching the guy... As overheard, that is.
I was wondering how come their good friends did not break up the petty quarrel they had. Furthermore, the lady was ALREADY slapping the guy, and she spewed vulgarities in the direction of the other patrons for looking at them. I immediately sensed that something was about to happen, and we were lucky to be away from the 'battle-zone'. Nonetheless, it was definitely an eye-opener.
So, I left hurriedly, since it was late and I wanted to sleep on my bed. All things sorta returned to normal there, and it seemed just like a passing typhoon. Still, the nightlife of Singapore, with its pubs, clubs and all (plus upcoming casino?) makes one wonder whether is it still safe to go out at night w/o being hooded by some unknown dude.
