Is it going to rain

The last I check, it says maybe

Pillow time

I never sit in my darn office chair this much before. Perhaps in the last 6 months, I have been in this chair more than I have in the last 2 years.

Anyhow, I came to realise that this chair doesnt provide the necessary support. My back is aching everyday when I reach home and I need to find a solution. I am contemplating getting those pillow to rest my lower back on. Or I could get those stylo-milo plastic netting support.

Hmm hmmm. anyone got a spare pillow to loan?

A roof to shelter us

After working for 3 years, I am arriving at one of the many "detours". Much like the game the Amazing Race, this is a decision that I have to make. And I wont be alone in this process.

During the trip to AU, I came to realise how old my parents have become. The wrinkles are prominent. Their energy level are lower. Time has caught up with them indeed.

Through my growing years, they have toiled to bring me up, fed me well and provide me with a good life and education. These are the unconditional love and care they have given to me. And in return, I do hope to be able to provide them with a comfortable life.

To start of, I would like to be able to provide them with a bigger home. A place where it will be like a luxurious hotel which they could call home. My ideal choice would be a landed property. It doesnt have to be the biggest with a small house to keep the servants (ok maybe not yet). All I am looking for is a nice terrace unit in a quiet neighborhood.

I want them to live comfortably. Give them a nice bedroom with a fancy bathroom. A large living room for my mom and dad to bring their friends over for gathering. A space for my dad's car so that there wont be any more knocks and scratches. A small garden for my mom ever expanding plant collections. And so on.

However money doesnt come easy and especially in a depressing time like this. The only plus point is that the cost of the property would no doubt depreciate as well. At this moment, I am looking at a 2 year plan. In this time, I would save up and evaluate on the finance situation. It wont be easy and I would definitely need to rob in both my sis on this as well.

This is my strong wish and I do hope to be able to make my parents proud.

Startrek vs Starwars

Before you start watching this. We all know there is an endless debate on which sci fi is better than the other. Inky would say startrek while the rest of us would agreed its starwars. I personally like Babylon5 a whole lot better :P

Back to work

Its been a nice 3 weeks away from work. With time spend getting the Helo ready for each flight and so on.

And I am dreading having to go back to work tmr. I kinda skipped working today due to a bad headache. Quite sure I would get a headache tmr.



So glad this din happen to me.

Shop Online

Interestingly, 2 close friends of mine have pointed me to their sibling shopping blog last week.

Jeff, my former flying buddy and now pilot trainer (in training) in my NS Squadron, has pointed me to All that Tees. Its a blog setup by his younger brother which has a rather interesting collection of tees. He has tees for both guys and girls and each cost $20. Pretty much like our threadless sales dun you think.

Edwina, my former Film Art and Mode of Invention buddy, has smsed me to colormesweet. Its a blog containing ladies collection of dresses and tops. I am afraid there is nothing for guys there. Anyway, its setup by her sis and the prices varies in the 20-ish region. It seems like they have limited stocks, so do hurry if you see something you like.

Anyway I apologised for my lack of post lately. Been busy (see next post).

Success!!!

After weeks of training, I had managed to pass my IPPT. Not only that, I somehow gotten a Silver award for it. Dont ask me how I did it, I just did.

I must say that the 3 failed attempts were ruining my confident. After all, I did trained for each of them. However I learned that I was really out of shape then and I do need to keep at it.

Inspired by my friend the Corolla-loving-Smurf, whom failed his attempts, booked his RT and miraculously passed his IPPT while in ICT. I set myself the target to achieve what he did. After all, he said to me that his S2 told him that if he could pass, his RT would be forgone.

And I ran like I never did. I paced an older gentleman whom look to be 10 years older and never seem to be slowing down. I stopped thinking and kept running. The only thought that lingers is that I wont be embarrassed by an old man running in front of me. And like Usain Bolt, I sprinted the last 300 m and left him in my dust.

He was a nice man no doubt and we joked while queuing up to check our timing. I gotten a 11.58 mins while he did 12.15 mins. I must admitted I am envious of his fitness at his age.

Anyhow, I am looking forward for some beer and burgers now. The discipline I enforced upon myself could be partial lifted. However I do have the Std Chart Run in Dec coming up. And I do need to maintain my level.

Amber in for another servicing

Once again Amber is ill and I (finally) brought her for another visit to the service center.

I must admitted that the staff at SE are very polite. A bunch of them appeared to be from the Philippines and they smile and spoke very nicely. I was attend to by a local girl I believe whom was equally as friendly.

Anyhow the following are the problems with Amber.

1. Her screen would become dim for no reason and stayed that way till I leave it alone for a while

2. She would become unresponsive and reboot for no reason

3. She still can never sync with my comp and till now, nothing has been back up.

The iPhone is getting more attractive by the day, but then again X1 seems to have finally arrived at our shores.

Masterpiece Grimlock

There are some toys in your life which you know you have to have it. For me its most definitely this Grimlock in Masterpiece detailing.

The sad thing is that this is only available sometime in March next year when I want to buy it as a Christmas gift for myself :(

Church of the Holy Sepulchre

I visited this church during my trip to Jerusalem

During my visit there, my little "tour guide" and I were a little baffle. The bible says that the body was buried in a tome craved out rock and somehow this place appears to be the place where his body was laid. We werent quite sure and pretty much left it as that.

The wiki entry did clear things up nevertheless. Anyway.....

A brawl happened recently there. Fractions of different church sect were once again finding fault with each other. It aint a pretty sight. (video included)

Obama briefings

Quiz on 80s cartoons

I know for once that Ian would love to have a go at this

This is a quiz on the cartoons from the 80s. Its not that simple and I suffered problems with many questions.

(I score only 47%. Beat that)

Hand crank paper heart

I din understand a word that was said on youtube. My Jap is still bad despite all the animes. Neither did this site make any sense to me either.

So just sit back and click the play and watched the action unfold. Be patience, you would be rewarded

Perhaps Amber, Perhaps not

After only 3 months of usage. I am sad to admit that I no longer am fascinated by Amber.

Though our big problems have been worked out, her constant minor issues have been driving me crazy. She can barely last 2 days before needing a break, she is slow to react to many of my request and I feel that she is ignoring me as well.

I must admit, I love the touch screen and the ability to wifi. But my love for Amber seems to end there.



I must also admit that since I gotten Aileen to run around with me on a more regularly basis, I had started to reconsider what I need most from my lady. I guess I would reconsider in a couple of weeks.

The sunday

Perhaps its one of my quietest sunday yet.

I went to church without my close fren whom is away in Las Vegas, the Sin City. Even my sis are in Penang for a trip. Come to think of it, this is one of the rare times I attended mass alone.

Then I came home and got to work on my fish tank right after lunch. I must admitted that I used to take care of them a whole lot better. But the laziness got the better of me. I trimmed the plants, scrubbed the tank, move my prawns (not cheese), removed dirt from the gravel and replaced a lot of water.

At the moment, there are only 2 surviving prawns. 2 kinda died in the process of the temporary home while a whole lot of 20+ disappear in a matter of weeks. It goes to show that the water in my tank is such a poor state.

Anyway I am mulling on going for ICT tomorrow. Its going to be a 3 weeks of holiday as well as boredom. Aileen camera component has been remove but I may still find some problems bringing her in. Got to see how things are tomorrow.

I would be without my VB, whom has started work at a new coy. But I guess I could take this 3 weeks to do some work out. Time to get in shape for the std chart run.

Anyway enjoy some laughs from my archives

Emo fake cutter

I supposed the Jap did not quite understand the Emo "culture" of slashing their wrists.
