Happy Founder's day

And also Happy Thinking day.

Boy do I miss the joint activities

The only tank

I have lost the battle and have removed my office tank.

All prawns have been transported back home.

So I thought I should share you what my home tank look like.

Tomcat

Before Tom Cruise became a hardcore Scientologist (frankly I still dun understand this "religion"), he was a pin up icon. A young dashing man whom many girls want to grow up and get married to. Yes including his current wife.

He did starred in this one movie which inspired many to consider a career as a fighter pilot. Yes I am talking about Top Gun. Where he is known by his callsign Maverick and flew the incredible F-14 Tomcat.

Ever since that movie, I was inspired to take up flying and somehow managed to wiggle my way into the airforce. Its there I went for a few short flying lessons and ended up finding the role of an aircraft technician to be a rewarding NS. It was however sad that I never get to be close to the F-14. The bird that was meant to be the F-111 replacement.

It was the aircraft that I would very much like to see in action, but alas the US has taken it out of service and the only remaining country operating it, just happen to be Iran. Strange.... aint it.

Hopefully one day, this aircraft would be on ebay and perhaps by then I could afford to bid for one.

sidenote: Val Kilmer aka sexy lips batman was in the movie as well as Iceman.

Placebo buttons

The advent of computer-controlled traffic signals make the walk buttons at pedestrian crossings on heavily trafficked streets obsolete. By the late 1980s, most (but not all) walk buttons in New York City have been deactivated yet people push them anyhow, either in ignorance, out of habit, or in the off chance the buttons did work.

Many large office buildings also have dummy thermostats to give office workers the illusion of control. Some even go as far as installing white-noise generators to mimic the hum of fans after the HVAC system is shut off.

The same goes for the close button in elevators. Most elevators built or installed since the early 1990s don’t have close buttons that work, unless you have a fireman’s key. People do push them anyhow, because the fact that the door eventually closes reinforces their belief that the button works.

Vday gift

I have bought and delivered my vday gift. Have you? This is a set of Casio G Shock and Baby G watches. It speaks of simple elegant and touch of trendy colors.

PS. This is the lover 2008 edition. If you wondering why din I get the 2009 edition. Take a closer look at them.

So much to watch, so little time

I am a big fan of Sci-fi and even a bigger fan of comedy. There are just too many things to catch that I am running low on sleep time to complete them all

First up, Comedy. The funny bones that is in all of us. My watchlist are as follows.

1. Simpsons (ever green or yellow)
2. Top gear (Aint they suppose to be a auto show?)
4. Big Bang Theory (Never realise Nerdy comedy can be so fun)
5. Scrubs (I like the old series but this new one seems to capture the style)


Drama/Sci-Fi

1. Lost (Season 6 now. Have been drawn to them since an old fren share with me a disc)
2. V (they seem friendly)


Animes (where man are just boys)

1. Fullmetal Alchemist (brilliant story)
2. Gundam (new series starting)


I wish they bring back these

1. Sarah Connor Chronicles (I miss seeing Cameron)
2. Firefly (I miss seeing River)
3. Futurama (Heard they are coming back)
4. Full Metal Panic!
5. Star Trek (any generations)
6. Stargate (I like Macgyver)

Airshow 2010

Its my fourth airshow and I never seem to get enough of them. Here are some snippets.

The tango between the Apache and F16. I think the Apache would win against the F16 in a dog fight.


All the exhibitors' and visitors' flags are flown here. Kinda cool huh


The US bomber flying real low. Its like its on a bombing run

I flew the Piper warrior 2 before. This brings back memories.


Cute little plane here.


Cuter little bird (with lots of arsenals)


The mighty Hercules


Some dude whom had an even longer lens before he swapped for something he can carry.


This is the cheapest food items I had found.


See you in 2 years time.
