*NEWSFLASH*

Really, get well soon. There has been many cases of husbands, who are deeply attached to their spouse, dying right after their wife left the world.

Anyway, didn't post any entry the day before because I was busy with people. HAHA!

Rushed out from home to Changi Airport to send the few girls to Taiwan with my mother nagging that this kind of thing is not important because they are going for vacation. LOL Ate Popeye there but I think the taste has changed a bit somehow.

After that met up with Esther and Koonhui at City Hall MRT. LOL Talked about alot of rubbish. Mainly problem solving. Then Esther left for house warming and it was Koonhui and me!

We just kept walking and talking and sometimes eating. But I wonder how much had he absorbed.

Today is totally slacking at home.

I gues our next outing is with Jan when she finishes her mid years with a bang. Yes, a bang. Because I think she will bang her head against the wall when she receives her results. HAHA!

Shall post something more interesting next time. Because the weather is so freaking warm, nothing is coming out from my brain. Even if something is coming out, it has melted already.

People, please stop global warming.

*NEWSFLASH*

Singapore's Ministry of Defence has declared a three-day time-out (12-14 June) on all physical and endurance training activities in the army, navy and air force.

This follows the deaths of two servicemen within two days. 20-year-old Officer Cadet (OCT) Lam Jia Hao Clifton, a pilot trainee with the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), died on Wednesday, one-and-a-half hours after he collapsed while he was undergoing jungle orientation training in Brunei.

A day earlier, 20-year-old army recruit Andrew Cheah Wei Siong died after he fainted while taking part in a two-kilometre walk training activity on Pulau Tekong.

Defence Minister Teo Chee Hean said the time-out will allow the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) to review and re-focus on training activities to ensure that proper procedures are in place before training resumes. - CNA/ir

*NEWSFLASH*

Personally, I feel that there will always be fishes who can escape from the fishing nets. LOL Just like how Mas Selamat escaped from a detention centre. Nothing is perfect, right? The training methodology can be changed and refined numerous times but it certainly cannot cover for all people, for everybody has different physical weakness. Of course, changes have to be made and I can understand the feeling of the deceased's family members. But the presence of conscription has always and will always be a controversial issue, though we all know its presence is a must to deter aggressors. So, I really hope the family members can understand the dilemma the government is facing.

Anyway, booked out TODAY!!! Although I do that every other day. HAHA!

Have been watching videos of Jam Xiao on Youtube since I returned home. LOL All the way until now. HAHA. Some of the songs he sing is really very very very nice. Especiallyn the one he was competing with Lai Ming Wei for the Highest-Pitched voice. His ending attempt was so intriguing.

Back to topic. Was in mood today, so I went to cut my supposedly long hair and bought a big basket of crimson seedless grapes at Holland Village Cold Storage without even deciding if it will be nice. LOL It really feels good sometimes to do something without even weighing the consequences, just going with your heart. Oh yah. So the sign there wrote a price per 100grams. So after taking one basket of grapes, I was walking around searching for the non-existent weighing machine.

And I found a machine, really! It has a touch screen and a silver box by the side. I thought the weighing machines nowadays have became so advanced and I was just a step from putting my grapes on the silver box until I touched the screen and it showed me lists of recipes and cooking tips! -.- HOW CAN A WEIGHING MACHINE TEACH YOU RECIPES!?!? But there is seriously no machines around that produces the sticker showing the price!

So I decided to act dumb (live longer) and go to the cashier and try to pay money. HAHA! And it worked! Because the cashier's conveyor belt (something Peifang is buying for her Dad because she said the belt she bought for her Dad is not big enough!! AHAH!!) has a in-built weighing machine! RAHH!

COLD STORAGE GOT NO MORE STICKERS SHOWING PRICE!

Went home feeling like a sour grape then, as in not like the fox-didnt-eat-grape thing but the feeling went juice splurts out of a grape when you bite into it, just that the juice is SOUR.

So I continued to watch the videos like nobody's business while eating sweet grapes! There was one when Jam was invited to SPOP. That is one of the few rare times when I felt Quan Yi Feng didnt compere well enough. Jam Xiao was like even more awkward lah! The most hilarious video is the one below in 康熙来了.



Really a pity that I don't have that cable channel.

Still got videos where he was invited to shows like 棒棒糖 when those 棒棒糖 guys really cannot sing for nuts! I think they were disturbing Jam Xiao and the Youtube comments for them was really bad! The other funny one was when he was interviewed by 国光帮帮忙.

Until just now when I was bugging Tracy to tell me more about FASS de system. LOL. Now I need to start deciding what exposure modules I want to do and have high chance of being able to do well! Mentioning about university makes me think of Economics and reminded me that Credit Suisse estimated that inflation for June might reach 8.5%!!

Making plans for the future already Wei Hong! Well Done! No need clap. Crap. I still got 1.5 years to go. ZZzZZZzzzZZ

Maybe I should post the funny videos of Jam Xiao here! LOL. Beats you reading tonnes of words I have typed.

Enough for today. Farewell my people. I will miss you all. (See, I didn't use commonly used word like Bye because my blog is going INTERNASIONAL, sia lah!, with visitors from US, Turkey, Germany, Russia. High standards. HAHA)

THANK YOU. YOU. HAHA!

That was 2 months of inactivity!

HELLO MY BABES AND HUNKS! *WAVES*

BYEBYE!

HAHA! No lah no lah! I willl not end this entry until I have successfully painted my 2 months of interesting monotonous life! YAY :)

Anyway, I ended my last post with my posting and so I shall continue from there!

Ok. Come to think of it, days are really passing fast. I have already finished my 8-week course for IS Signallers at Stagmont Camp which I think I will save everyone the agony of reading the happenings.

Lets not fill this entry up with all the army stuff. Maybe I shall talk abt the trilemma that I went through during this period and I am sure there are other people out there who has or will go through the same phase as me.

University

Starting from late April, many of us in the platoon was starting to get anxious in whether the universities that they have applied to has accepted them or not. almost every other day you hear news of people getting acceptance letters and worse, if they got letters from the university that you have applied too. Of course, there are some academically outstanding ones who got a place in places like Imperial College, Columbia University etcetc which makes local university look so minute and mediocre.

I am very fortunate and humbled to be accepted by the 3 local university in Singapore with my not-very-fantastic-results as compared to many of my fellow platoon mates in Stagmont.

Initially, I applied for all the 3 universities without an aim because I have not much of a preference at that time. So I thought I can give myself more time to think through everything and then decide on a uni.

And there I go, with the advent of the acceptance deadline drawing near, I am still rather unsettled on one university. Partly because I still spent most of the time enjoying the remaining days in camp. Mainly because each university has its own merits and demerits.

Nonetheless, I have choosen to go SMU's School of Economics AND GRAB THAT SUMMA CUM LAUDE! WHEE~! Of course, I would most probably be quite lonely there because I have no friends going there! NVM. Its all about survivability! haha!

Master Plan for next 1.5 Army Years

Over these 2 months I have also drawn up plans to upgrade myself! but those are top secret plans which I shall keep it until it matures! HAHA! Alot of factors need to be considered like my future unit and financial status etcetc.

( NINCOMPOOP. Someone from my opposite block thought that I was peeping at them and they closed the window lah! )

Rants

Passed my signal course, of course. Accepted by all 3 local universities. Increased army allowance. New working environment. Oil price hike. No guard duty for the next 1.5 months. Worsening inflation. Reduced subsidies for petroleum in Asia. Dr Chee Soon Juan. Pedra Branca Singapore's. Chosen SMU School of Economics. Outing with BMT mates. Drinking with JC clique at Clarke Quay. Sichuan Earthquake. Missed Mother's Day with my mother. Canterbury Clearance Sale.

There are so many things that happened recently that makes me wanna laugh and cry. I guess everything will simmer down soon after I have convinced myself about my uni choice. It is always difficult to type an entry after a hiatus.

I WILL UPDATE REGULARLY.

Dean, Singapore Management University School of Economics

Anyway, Happy June 2008 everybody!!!

Busy BUSY August!!

Something struck me when I was doing my Maths assignment just now after the non-existent Chemistry remedial class: AUGUST IS A VERY BUSY MONTH!!!






Why leh?





There is so many things going on in August and I am not refering to academic work!




Firstly, we are our very own 42nd National Day on 9th Aug!! And we are celebrating it on the supposedly world biggest 'floating' platform!! *woots!!* I really miss National stadium. HANG YOUR FLAGS PEOPLE! SHOW OUR NEIGHBOURS WE ARE PROUD OF OUR COUNTRY!! *glory glory feeling :D* Another reason for loving National Day is because people are rather styled towards wearing red! which is pleasing to my eyes. HAHA!







Secondly, August is also the new month for Dental Awareness!! I suppose people's oral health must really been very lousy to make the Singapore Dental Association plan for such a month. But I think the dentists really got a screw up in their birdbrain loose. If we all start brushing our teeth at least twice a day, not eat sugary food before we go to sleep etc, they will bloody lose their jobs! If they choose me as the president of the Association, things will be much different! RIGHT?!


Thirdly, 1st Aug is also the humble Nurses' Day!!! Come on come on! Stand up on your chair now and salute at the word 'Nurses'! Without them, it wil be those ticko doctors helping your mama to deliver you into the world! Without them the hospital is as good as nothing! Without them, the raging hormones in some guys will never get appleased. Nonetheless, thank you you missy!!













Fourth, 2nd Aug is the day set aside for purchasing items with your own carrier!! As in dont use the plastic bags that they give and use your own 八宝带 like Mam Cool's!! The actual name is 自备购物带日. Its a habit that all should practise. NOW PEOPLE, start using your own bag to use a fridge, a telly and a PC. Dont care dont care, not big enough is your own problem! Its 'Use Your Own Carrier Day' geddit!?!






















Actually I really think that these days might not meet their objectives. I only heard about some of the days today, HOW TO PREPARE FOR IT?



Anyway, SEE? August is really a very busy month with so many days to note and wat not. I wan to go buy something with my own crumpler bag and then see a dentist with a nurse's help for me to sing the National Anthem properly!


:D:D:D:D:D:D

Its Currently Incurable.

[NEWSFLASH]

I really dunno what Mr Peh told my mum. Whatever it is, I am now deemed as a fast dumb ass who is uncomparable to my brother. Oh well, not unexpected. Is studies everything? I just dun like it when she comes wailing into my room and start complaining that I did very badly in school. I think I am still bright enough to realise that myself.

[END OF NEWSFLASH]

Anyway, I came across this poster when I was surfing for Mi Lu Bing's news album's pictures.

Yah, I know its abit too small to apprehend the poster. Its about the consequences for making out every that often, especially for the youths as there has been an increase in youths having pre-marital sex (I wonder how do they know abt it too). But I think you guys will find the below 2 posters more appealing. LOL! ENJOY!

SAVE THAT BLOODY FISH FROM THAT BOILING WOK OF OIL!

SAVE THAT BLOODY FISH FROM THAT BOILING WOK OF OIL!!!!!!!

OMG I really cannot imagine that happening and the worst is the news showed people enjoying the fish meat lah!!! *PUKES*

Apparently, the Hong Kong / China restaurant chef learnt this particular method of cooking a fish, namely the Li3 Yu2, from a highly respected master in order to provide the freshest fish meat to consumers. This, unethical method as according to me, involved first boiling a wokful of oil and by holding the fish by its head with a towel, sink the tail and body of the fish into the boiling oil and fry it. NOTE! At that point of time, the fish is not dead. It is still living with flour and what not spreaded over the body. So the chef fry and fry until the body is crispy, take it out and put on a plate, pour the sauce over the bodywith the fish's mouth still gaping in pain.

Unhumanely, the fish dish is one of the more popular one despite the fact that the fish as a vertebrate feels more pain than an animal without a backbone. OMG U CAN STILL SEE THE FISH'S MOUTHING OPENING AND CLOSING LAH, although at that point of time the fish can no longer feel anything below its head but prolly pain!

Local animal rights group argue with the vertebrate theory and that though we already know that killing of animals is inevitable as it is part of the food chain, there is no need for such treatment to animals and the group had brought the matter up to the local authorities. Local authorities had ordered the cancellation of the dish from the menu.

OMFG! I really dun see the difference in the fish's meat when u kill it and cook it immediately and cooking it while its alive. Will the meat even taste good when the fish struggles to jump out of the boiling oil????

Sometimes I really cant believe the stupidity of humans, doing these kind of selfish acts for that little satisfaction. Though, no matter wat, the fish has to die, i believe it does not hurt us to be more humane in our dealings with fellow friends from the animal kingdom and to me, a clear conscience is more important than anything else.





































How about you?
