Missing in Action? Well...more like Missing In Blogging... haiz.
Never had time/energy to do blogging recently, everyday go home just face the bed. Hahaz. So just a recap for the past few weeks I've been away...
1. HA Plt Farewell Dinner for 2WO Ng was held @ Chevrons on the 5th, as he is leaving our unit to go over to OETI. All the best to him, and we definitely will miss him. A pillar of the plt, I would like to say, and his in-depth knowledge and experiences would count in handy during this period of change. Nonetheless, I cant influence the change, could I? Organisational requirements... The HA guys definitely drunk till they were almost out. Well, at least some of them were :P
Interesting point 1: John is a good singer
Interesting point 2: Kee Sing really cant drink. Hehz :P
2. SA Plt Farewell Dinner for 1SG Lim was held @ Owen Seafood Restaurant on the 9th. She is going on to HQ to further her career, as well as learn newer things to help us :) This was much more okay, lesser drinkers, and the SA guys were not really the drinking type. Also explains the place where we had our dinner, i.e. brightly lit, nice tables a la Chinese Dinner style. lolx.
3. Recent movies which released definitely seem interesting, no doubt. One jap show coming up (forgot the name), Taxi and a few more coming up. Plus, Star Wars Episode 3 Trailer is out :)
4. Many projects up for me. 3 in fact. So juggling them all at one go. Should be no problem, though having the ICs to help out willingly was a problem which was more or less overcome later. So far, so good.
5. Internal changes abound, so trying to make it come through would definitely take some time. Preparation for inspections and to meet customer's expectations certainly push the mark up.
6. American Elections. Bush wins, by a close margin. And frankly speaking, with the world teetering from 2 wars in just 1 season with Bush, I seriously wonder why Americans still choose their gun-toting, war-declaring Bush. And to think that the years of work which Clinton had put in to give America it's first surplus in more than a decade had gone to waste barely a year into Bush's reign as President, it surely lets one think whether he is really doing a good job on the homefront. To me, he seems more of the war-monger than one interested in serving the people and the nation's interests.
7. Yasser Arafat on the brink of death...One leg in, the other still outside. Sheesh, wish all the best for him. Who knows what the future for Middle East would be IF he were dead. What if some psychopathic dude were to become the next Palestinian leader? The already fragile diplomatic and military situation in the Middle East would be in jeopardy. Another interesting development.
To both of them who have left us, I wish them all the best in their future endeavours. Au revoir.

...Down with fever...
-SAD-
'Cos it's been quite some time since I was down by common viruses, but this time round (almost a yr and half!) I'm suffering from damn bad headache...and the body just refuses to act. STRANGE.
Which isnt helping considering that I am gonna stick my head into projects which my guys are doing, and all the CRAP of Cobra Challenge...last milestone prior to ORD... ^^"
It aint a boring or bad arrow...just plain indifferent about ppl who are going to leave the unit and clearing leave. Valid reason? Absolutely. To take part in a competition which is a mth away from ORD, and to have less than 4 mths to train, and there wasn't preparation to train for it, this IS frustrating, and maybe I'll end up not clearing all my leave and off <
Anyway, they have 2 new officers who are ORDing later than me, so why not ask them to do? On top of that, they are more fit than me, I'm just a lousy runner who is getting fat and lethargic and sick already (man! I need rest sia...).
Haiz...Time to snooze. Seen the doc on coming home. Seems like the fever has somewhat subsided, but I just checked and the body temp is still hovering ard the 38 mark...more sleep...more rest...more water...

And this is just so sad...
For a country which has a flagship company championing its mp3 players in its own land as well as in other countries, against competitors, this move seems like the last one we'll ever hear...
Esp. when you need to download at commercial scale before they take action against you.
The problem?
They do not define what kind of scale that is.
ROFL.
And so we've to wait to see who is the first person caught so that we'll all know what commercial scale means.
And pathetically speaking, this law seems to have come from across the Pacific, the country we've just established FTA with. Oh well...the hidden guidelines one has to accept when doing trade...maybe this is one...

Current Music: Nothing
Recently tuned in to SI, which I aint really a great fan of, but nonetheless, tuning in to see and hear how the contestants are doing.
Jerry is out. Which is great, considering that other more powerful vocalists had been kicked out due to not enough supporters, and that HE is the one who has a church behind him...so all the more better. Just shows that no matter how much support you have behind you, if you suck, you suck... :P
Anyway, not a singer myself, but definitely can recognise the difference between someone who CAN sign and someone who PRETENDS to sing.
Oh yea, pretty bored too. Now consuming my Tom Clancy's The Teeth of The Tiger (TToTT), after Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. Must say I pretty liked Dan's work for that book, most likely I'll purchase the other works of his like Deception Point and Angels & Demons.
Finally, Gundam SEED Destiny is out! w00t! sW33t! :) Been waiting for a long long while, and this first episode packs a lotta punch too, a la the initial episode for Gundam SEED. Staying tune...

Well...today was Unit Cohesion Day @ the Big Splash. Yea...where we had our previous Cohesion Day also...but that was only a dinner la... haha.
Today was more fun. Involving salty seawater, a pool and lotsa fun. Well, fun which we searched for ourselves ^^"
And time to let the hair down also i guess. What better time to do so than at Cohesion Day? Well, all work but no play makes one a dull boy haha... And it's great to see most of the ppl being enthu for such an event like this also ;)
Most of all, we tried out the nerve wrecking, heart pulsating Big Splash slides, which literally makes you fly off the slide. Gee. And the sun was pretty (well, can say is VERY) hot. Lol.
Then it was down to PP (Parkway Parade) with some of the guys for a drink, and each went his own way after that.
Now at the comforts of my home, I'm now a red lobster typing a blog, whilst trying to let the moisturizer set in and get to sleep asap. It's work once more....

...officially.
But of course, throughout the entire show, it seems like it aint going along the Jin Yong novel. Well, not too tightly. And I guess they should have gotten a better actor to be Zhang WuJi la. 'Cos Wuji macham younger than Zhaomin in the movie. -.-'
Haiz...no more Minmin liaoz!!! -_____-"
P.S. Heard that she is on this Channel U serial on weekdays afternoons @ 4.30pm.

Coming tonight at 7pm on Channel 8.
Arent the artistes getting tired of doing stunts, performing circus acts and sleigh-of-hand, for the simple task of drawing in the crowd and ppl dialling the various numbers to do their bit for charity?
In barely 9 mths, we've seen so many of charity shows going on on local tv. Seems like it is going to, and will be, something important on their schedules.
Darned the charity shows. If Singaporeans are indeed charitable as they seem, would they not lend a helping hand when others seem in need for it? Would they not be doing something for the community rather than just donate money to the coffers of foundations such as the NKF?
I'd vouch for the human touch and kindness rather than the act of giving by money.
And who knows what such organisations do to the money you give them. Each year, millions are poured into their coffers, and did they alleviate the patients' suffering? If they did not, I guess this is a mistake. A mistake to help such organisations. Added to the fact is that they never told us what's the big deal with the large amount of funds they had stashed away. And look at their big nice spanky headquarters and the large buildings they build to 'house' their patients and equipment.
Granted, there is always arguement for the need to good facilities and trained medical personnel, but if you toe the line of usability viz-a-viz lavishness, I'd say that's a damn fine line to go man.
As usual. My weekly ranting. Heh.
And I dun get to watch my Min Min -____-' They should really speed up the screening of episodes, like change it to 3 episodes instead of 2 for each weeknight. 'Cos the fact is there are only 10 episodes left, and the next episodes are gonna get interesting :P

And over the course of one week, I've slept the most on only 2 occasions --- My off-days (imposed that is) --- Monday and Friday that is. Monday I slept from the Sunday till Monday 12pm plus, and on Friday, it was till 1 plus.
Reason?
AHM on Sunday.
Range on Wed, Thu. And having to book in on the very night of Mooncake Festival for the early wake-up call the next day.
Well, the range was kinda unexpected...I was initially the firer for thu, so that means I need only to stay back on wed nite, but instead they required me so....I was thrown in as asst. conducting. But it was great to learn the ropes, most of it was already properly done and setup, awaiting the final execution.
Just glad for the opportunity to learn.
Also learnt one thing: It's best not to say anything for the night shoot. Even if you know it is too high, too low, too left, too right, just don't say. 'Cos ppl out there seem to blame you when they think you give hints that compromise their scores. Oh well. When it comes to tests, that's the way it goes.
Now, I'm rejuvenated ^_^
