Broken.

The metal strap of my watch broke. time to get a new strap. and yes, my watch is still ticking away. =)

Today, i went to town with plans to video people walking. i was kind of worried that someone might get offended with me that i asked my sis along. haa.. actually, i asked her along so that i dun look like a pervert taking videos of others alone. An interesting experience.

my sis fell prey to vainity and got herself braces. "a long term investment", she said. "a vainpot", i said. she had two teeth extracted and is eating like all the elderlies, soluble food. the braces seem to have slowed her rate of eating but not the amount of eating. I seem to be seeing her eat the whole day, albeit eating soluble food. because of her braces, she's gotten real thrifty. All for the sake of better teeth.

oh well, 2 days to foc and a month to prometheus. hope everyone will enjoy this period and everything will be smooth sailing from now on.

Bad day.

Isn't Friday the 13th supposed to be the unlucky day?
why did Saturday the 14th turned out to be worse?

bad day of Saturday the 14th started at 130 am. yes, a.m. the officers forgot to count strength in the morning and had to count strength just when everyone's sleeping. wth.
we were supposed to book out at 12 but due to some cockups by the higher levels, we're once again delayed though we were treated to some heated arguements between the higher levels.
then, come the news of maternal granny getting the works from my uncle. wtf. she's so old already. what's wrong with getting what you want at such an age?
then, come the expected letter of rejection from the maritime scholarship which turn out to be the least perturbed issued of the day.
lastly, come the boiling point. i received an email from the jcrc president which goes like this,
'Thanks man for skipping the whole chain and make people look bad. While you were waiting, halls were allowed to send in a list of those on the waiting list that we want to get back. I thank you once again for sending the mail down to prof quek. So now i wonder what he would be thinking given that every resident has sent in a request in one way or another, and not to the jcrc. i wonder. really.'
oh, this was in reply to an email i sent to my senior hall fellow regarding hostel allocation for those who failed to secure any rooms in the 1st round. i've dutifully followed the chain of command by checking with members of the JCRC, hall office before looking up to prof quek regarding the issue. JCRC didn't offer me anything, hall office said that they had no control, then i looked to prof quek for solutions and the email was written as per what prof quek said to be written. i think JCRC should look at themselves and get their communication right. what's with all the confidentiality when people needs answers. i'm a chairperson and i have people to answer to, i have other issues to be concerned with, i have things other than hall to be concerned with too. last of all, i don't need this kind of sarcasm. **************

what's with all this shit when i just recovered from food poisoning. what a welcome home.

Reservist ahoy!

Tomorrow's the start of my 2nd In-Camp Training! So excited!(yar, right.)

Some interesting things happened yesterday.

My family car got hit on the rear by a van. nope, I wasn't the one driving, my mum was driving alone and nope, my mum wasn't injured, thank heavens. we got a black toyota altis as a replacement for a week while little goldie have her rear fixed.

Someone by the name of alvin called. i don't know if it's a prank or someone played a prank on the guy. this alvin guy called and asked if i do wedding videos! well, i'm ok with windows movie maker but do a wedding video!? my gosh, is he expecting a short marriage or what. =D

on a sadder note. my friend got a acceptance letter from sembcorp. my worst fears had came true. sigh. i guess prayers are not as powerful as impressions.

Any a way, i have just found a project to do. Something to keep me occupied for a while in camp!

project a : 1% completed.

Engineers vs Accountants - Who's better with money.

Three engineers and three accountants are traveling by train to a conference.
At the station, the three accountants each buy tickets and watch as the three engineers buy only a single ticket.
"How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" Asks an accountant.
"Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.
They all board the train.
The accountants take their respective seats but all three engineers cram into a restroom and close the door behind them.
Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please."The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand.
The conductor takes it and moves on.
The accountants saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea.
So after the conference, the accountants decide to copy the engineers on the return trip and save some money (being clever with money, and all that).
When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip.
To their astonishment, the engineers don't buy a ticket at all.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" Says one perplexed accountant.
"Watch and you'll see," answers an engineer.
When they board the train the three accountants cram into a restroom and the three engineers cram into another one nearby.
The train departs.
Shortly afterward, one of the engineers leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the accountants are hiding.
He knocks on the door and says, Ticket, please."

4 little black chicks.

Goes in the tune of '3 little ducklings'

4 little black chicks i once knew,
fat ones, chirpy ones, just like you.
and everyday, their chirpings made me really mad.
i really wanna throw them out of the ledge, ledge, ledge.

Under the window ledge, they would chirp,
cheepy cheepy, cheepy cheepy, they would go.
and everyday, their chirpings made me really mad.
i really wanna throw them out of the ledge, ledge, ledge.
