Routine

*yawn*

Woken up by Sam on this Saturday morning, asking me if I can lend Sion my car as his doesn't have air conditioning and he needs to travel down to Boise, ID (45 minutes drive). Whatever... I have no plans of going out anyway. The whole village of Singaporeans will be in Boise and I dread entertaining people (balls licker), I have got no friends that came & there is zero reason for me to go down there. Freaking waste of driving time...

Yesterday there were 3 flights full of Singaporeans that touched down Boise. They are with us. Here's a shoutout to them: "Welcome to Mountain Home!" Hope they brought enough luck to survive through their duration of stay. Looking at the rate of accidents/incidents that we have since day 1 of operation, soon enough we can charter a flight to send people on a one-way trip back to Singapore. Anyway they are here for training, if shit still lands on them even on training, then I guess we are really those "hand-picks" to be Fucked, Cursed & Damned...

Now the guys are bringing the new guys around, showing them what this pathetic part of USA looks like. As usual, first is to get a cellphone number, then followed by looking around for cars until they all have their paperwork ready to be able to buy one for themselves. Pretty much nothing they can do today except for looking around and buying those necessities. It will be extremely silly to be shopping because they don't have a home yet, temporally staying on base lodging.

Why the hell am I talking about what is going to happen to them, I am not their narrator. Well, I just hope they will "enjoy" their stay...

Alive

I have yet to forget about this blog. I am sorry for those who read and sees nothing new for the past 3 months. Many things have happened and I have many to say, but it's always the time & energy that is not enough for me to pen them down. Just a simple post to tell everyone that I am not dead yet. I will make an effort to back track everything until it is up to date...

Supa-Dupa-Fly

I think so that I am one. I doubt a few in the RSAF could match my frequent flyer miles, taking into considerations the number of years I had only served.

Quite an impressive list huh? I was kind of surprised myself after I had them all listed out. By the way these are all official. I have yet to include the personal trips I took for holidays. Can somebody please calculated the amount of time that I actually spent at home? This is also why I can tell people that I am a professional in luggage packing.

It's all good & bad. See the World with your own eyes. I have talked to so many of them from various trades and squadrons but many are afraid to move because they are scared that in a new environment, their "boss" won't recognize them. They are afraid that achievements in their "origins" will be taken over. Well, all of them are kind of shallow. If you stay in one place for too long you becomes the antique of that place. By the way human antiques are worthless. Some aren't willing to move because of their families or etc... You need to move. No one is indispensable. Get exposed to new stuffs. Try the difficult ones first.

That is also why I am so unstable. I used to yearn to see my love when I return, but all are just superficial when my presence is not there anymore... All are just lies...

Eat It Out

The whole of February was empty... Here is what's cooking before I went overseas again. We have been planning for a kind of piss-up; our own kind of piss-up. And after going through lots of time coordination & planning, finally managed to get everybody together (less CWS). Thanks to Eric and all the guys that rushed through their work in order to make this happened. Greatly appreciated...


Anyway we were over at Owen's Seafood Restaurant in Turf City. Hey did anybody took the photos of the seafood and did anybody consolidate all the photos? I only got a few from Gibson. Seems like there are some missing...


Hey this dinner isn't all about me man. It is also about CMK's birthday! Happy Birthday to him & all the best for his JWOC course and I will want to see him getting his next higher rank when I am back again.



I am already 5'11''. How tall do you think this guy is? Kids nowadays don't know what they eat that keeps them going.


That's the whole bunch of us. They are all the good guys of the squadron. Great subordinates, supervisors, colleagues and friends...

Lunar

Back track a little... Hasn't really have the time to pen anything properly down over here. It is the Chinese 牛 Year. Finally get to meet my relatives again after 3 years of absence in Singapore. It feels good though to be able to catch up with them a little. The younger ones are all grown up. The older ones are still stagnant. Haha. Most of the citizens take this opportunity as an excuse to gamble. As the saying goes, “讲钱伤感情”. Some people are just sore losers. Supposing this time of the year is for relatives and friends to exchange goodwill wishes and some get togetherness, but thanks to money, you will get to find out the real self of people around you... 好人难做... I have been losing too much of these money. No doubt this is an auspicious event, I will still curse all those who owns me money and have got zero intentions of repaying back. I am willing to shorten years of my life span to curse them. I just want to see them suffer towards a horrible death and let them know that they are dealing with the wrong person. I am neutral. I treat people with kindness. Doesn't mean that when I am easy, I can be taken advantage of. Curses to those who cross my paths...

Aw Han Ting, Ashley Morgan, Pei Wei & Shen Long... I am sorry if any of these ultimate losers have similar names as any of you guys. Not to worry if your conscious is clear... I swear that I will curse the names above to their deaths in exchange for part of my life span! Anyway good guys dies first, what's the purpose of living through a century? I will make a trip to Thailand to settle this stuff when I am back.


My cousin Wendy (She is another "missing person" of the family. Working overseas for a few years back then.)

This is Connie. Wendy's elder sister and that makes her my cousin too. She is kinda tall and used to be a runway model. Seems that I have out grown her now.

Hey thanks to this bunch of people, I am now addicted to killing zombies. Left 4 Dead.

Hotshot

It's that time of the year again. When all the fighters come together to contest for the best... So much of preparations, trainings and hard work needed to achieve the title.

Back from India, back into the squadron and the very first thing my chief, YWY, told me was "You are in." I was like, "Huh?" After some clarifications then I got to know that it is actually Hotshot. No big deal to me. Actually to think of it, this is my first participation after these years with the Phoenix. When I was in my younger days, "somebody" keep using his balls-licking tactics to gain participation in various events, that's why I was out of contend. But as time goes by, I guess his "tactics" doesn't work anymore due to the changes of the generations and the leaders above us who doesn't buy his shit anymore. It is obvious. There is only one such person in my squadron and 95% of the strength hates him...

Anyway, so I was in. Lots of preparations to catch up with. The Ospreys and everyone else have like started everything 2 months ago. We are only just beginning to cross the starting line. Hey we don't live up to our Phoenix's slogan,"We Dare", anyhow dude. I should say, with the time given to us and the amount of tasking that we are handling, we did a great job throughout the whole event. Everybody did great, I appreciate everybody's effort for making it happen. I am happy to work with the great bunch of guys again who came back with me from India. If you guys want to know about how much we did under the scorching sun, please refer to EnSabathNur blog. He said it all for us. (The aftermath is the worst. My body have got various tones of tan. My skin is peeling. No bermudas and short-sleeve shirts allowed until I recover.)

The event is over. We managed to win an award, thanks to TCP. We all are happy for him. And we all are happy with him around. He never fails to bring laughters whenever he speaks.

It is my last memories as a Phoenix warrior. At least this is the very last thing that I can contribute for the squadron...

Flashback: Incredible India

To think that most people will rather try to make it a point to post something on the 24, 25, 31 Dec or 1 Jan, but I think otherwise. Maybe because I have nothing to pen about. With parties going on everywhere and I am not invited & not in the mood anymore, what is there to post? Anyway most of my post are about negative situation, people and places. People says that I am pessimistic (or they use the word "emo" now), but no. I only tends to highlight the true dark facts of the society. Normal beings have 'selective listening', which means they only hear the good things they like, but never realised that they are "ugly". Higher intellect beings actually process all of whatever they experienced and enlighten from there. 'Hands-up' with me, for those who are concerned.

What the hell... Why am I blabbering all these? Nothing to do with the title. Here are the photos from my recent trip.

Block Arjan - Room 12, my room... Together with 10 other people, imagine that?! The suite that I had in Las Vegas couldn't even sleep 11 person. But I am surprised the room is air conditioned.

This is our daily activity. Played until to the extend that I even dreamt of it. Haha.


Visibility was so poor. We were searching for our plane. Haha. Many were so afraid that they couldn't fly off that day due to the bad weather. The photo above can say that's my only souvenir from there...

Give & Take

Here I am, stucked at some corner of Lim Chu Kang area on this Boxing Day...

So how was Christmas? Erm... I dread the crowds everywhere. Public transports are packed & unavailable. Traffics are slow & congested. Getting a car parking space is nonetheless by luck. Of course, it all comes down to where is the venue of your party! I joined my polymates for a kind of like a gathering at YT's house and I didn't know that he was staying in a landed property after all these years of knowing him. As usual, Sandra will be the sort of like the event organiser and we all just have to show up on time (Thanks Sandra, you are the best!). Supposing she called this a BBQ but we ended up ordering deliveries instead. Haha. There wasn't any gifts exchange nor any real parties going on. Just plain old catching up with them and drinking. Simple.

I was watching TV just now earlier on and it was showing ellen - The Ellen DeGeneres Show, (the episode that Hugh Laurie was on) the Americans are just so giving when it comes to the holiday season. Its obvious that Ellen meant to let all of her participants of her show to walk away with something and I feel so good to see the joyous enthusiasm of everybody. You can see that they truly feel happy for each other, irregardless they are a winner themselves or not. I was kind of touched... Then in between the show comes advertising commercials. I was totally turned off by the Lee Hwa Jewellery - Destineé commercial. Its showing Junita & her husband talking about how they have quality time together as a family. Everything was fine until when she said, "What I want for my perfect Christmas gift is a (name of necklace), 10 diamonds necklace." or something like that. For awhile I thought she might say her family happiness or things like that but coming out from her mouth is just about diamonds? I don't blame her because its a Jewellery commercial, but if this commercial is shown to people who have big hearts of Christmas spirits & are not as materialistic, I am sure that they will be turned off too. From the way how she and her husband explains their quality family time with their baby then comes the question and how suddenly she replied with a gold-digger answer.

See how our environment shapes people into this world? See the contrast of behaviours from different environments? I know its a material world, but somehow it spoils all the true beautiful meaning of various occasions. So much on all about the surface... So shallow...
