Transformers: More than Meets the @@

Just came back not so long ago watching Transformers; Revenge of The Fallen.

Basically, its a nice action movie. I can't say its a film cos' its really messed up and the whole story and alot of things doesn't make sense and its just rojak action with the best prawn paste and peanuts cui.

The nicest action I enjoy is Megan Fox's slow-mo jumping boobs actually.

And really, why does puny soldiers want to fight against big robots, it does not make any tactical sense.

No wonder they are called NEST. They bite like ants, hoping it'll hurt and the big guys will let them go, so they can protect their home NEST.

Climate Change: Is Anyone Thinking About It?



Today is the World Ocean Day. Sometimes, kind to think of it, apart from the environmental activists, animal activists, scientist and certain politicians, what are the rest of the human world thinking?

Does Green habits really going to help Earth? Does taking mass transit help? Do you flush only after peeing 3 times?

Well being Gaia friendly seems to be the trend now but I doubt the trend will get any bigger when the whole human race has its individual thinking how to survive. But survive from what may I ask?

It seems that as much as intelligence we have, as the leading most populated species on Earth, we simply have no idea what is the great existence we are here for.

There is simply a greater wisdom we need to seek, and perhaps to reflect now and then.

Now, time for the GSS. Buy and throw old stuff away~

My New Pet

Introducing, Yume, my latest pet Syrian hammy.



Got him today with BB after window shopping. I first noticed him when I was window shopping with buddy just after our windsurfing. I find him unique in his fur colour, which is milk white and he got red eyes.

I named him Yume because when I got him home he layed in the box as if he's dead, because even when I flipped him over, he still doesn't wake up. I even immediately gave him some water, which he drank and he still sleep while drinking it!

For a moment I thought he was dying of thrist or hunger. But I guess he was really sleeping far too soundly, possibly dreaming.

So I just name him Yume (pronounced as "yu-meh"), meaning "dream" in Japanese Hiragana.

"No Life"

I meant this blog. Just like one of the famous trilogy's start, "There and back again..."

Its been long since I blog.

You might think I am busy but I am not. My life is just passing by. Its just like my poly days. Just fulfilling time. Nothing really exciting has happen.

I realise I need a new career or a dream.

I am looking for it~

The Coming of Green~

Life is kind of crazy right now. I am actually looking forward to donning my greens and get a few days off that frustrating work.

But then I know again, when I go back, its not gonna be nice.

Anyway, the new logistics supply chain is actually bullshit because not all is in place. Last time I use to work only 2 weeks to finish my logistics planning. Now is like every now and then.

Anyway, recently I just bought a new computer desktop after my old one died on me.

In the past, I could have done a system recovery, but this time it just keeps restart. I was wondering if it was a virus as I never had an anti-virus on for a very long time. Lol.

If you are wonder "it serves me right" for not installing one. I guess it is. Especially when the anti-virus installer was bought for me a few days ago.

But then again, it might not be a virus. It might be hardware crash.

So, after my old Compaq died. I went to hunt for a new one with BB right on that very day.

Got this bargain, with a discounted trade-in using my old compy immediate after I saw it a power Acer desktop.

22" widescreen LCD screen. Latest graphics card. Wireless mouse. Wireless keyboard. Fastest processor (I think). Fastest RAM. 1 TB HDD. A new subwoofer sound system for the desktop.

It was suppose to be 1.5k with one year warranty after discount. But after getting all the MS Office and warranty increased to a total of 4 years. It came to 1.8k.

Its still expensive. So I am thinking of ways to subsidise off the price I paid further.

So I am think of selling my 21" LCD from my old desktop which is working very well still.

I am selling off the sub-woofer system as well. I think my 10 year old mini-combo sound system which I attached to, still can provide the quality sounds just as well as before.

Anyone interested can call me to ask about the prices =D

If everyday is an holiday...

Good Friday is a public holiday. It is also a day when Jesus died on the cross.

I never know why they say its "good". Maybe because its a "good day to die". Maybe its good because its a holiday.

But how I wish I have more holidays. Perhaps its time. A good time for someone to die.

And whenever I think of this person, I think he lived long enough. He's old and lived a good life. He's not even having pension. He's still having his honourary political position, earning hundreds of thousands just for pure political consultancy when we already have two SMs.

From what I noticed, when he makes speeches nowadays, he's also getting slower. Slower than he was in around 80. Not like a powerful speaker when he was in his political prime, "Merdeka! Merdeka!".

I need a new public holiday. Its time man, come on!

What I Want

Recently work is piling up even though I am not procrastinating.

I usually have a policy of not bring work home no matter what.

And I do not like to work OT after a long day which makes me tired and more prone to mistakes rather than being productive.

I can't say I am stress now because work is neverending. I just felt a certain sense of dismay, and I am wondering what am I working for?

For money? So far this job is the best paid job I ever had. And of course, I wanted to progress my career. But then, no matter what I said or I do now, my diploma of multimedia just doesn't make any reason for my employers to progress my career.

I felt this after I was told I can't be a permanent staff as there is a hire freeze. It doesn't make sense. We just hired a few people and they tell me there's hire freeze.

I'm no idiot. Obviously, it could be time to look for another job. But I am relunctant to look for a better job in such an environment when economic crisis is still out there.

But I really wanted a permanent job that I can feel secure for my future.

Maybe I can further my stdies but something is definitely blocking my way.

I'm stuck. Unless I struck 4D or something which I can "kiao ka" everyday from then on, I'm stuck unless I go back to the multimedia industry which I never trusted it to pay well, or even basic worker's welfare fulfilled.

The thought of a more appalling job made me hesitant to go back to the design industry in Singapore, which is hopelessly hopeless, unless you join a big co. with big name.

Maybe I should set up business.

I think set up hawker stall also more fulfilling and can even earn more than a bloody collar-worker. When you get fed up with life, then can add more expired chilli in you food as well and make people's ass-o burn (this is a joke).

Anyway, less hope some light at the end of the tunnel appears.

Pre-Travel Blues

Recently planning for a good amazing holiday, but then I have been bumping into many road blocks.

I have been wanting to return to visit Taiwan again but I have been going through a chain of problems, when ever I found a solution (or not).

Yes, I wanted to go Taiwan around this May. But I don't think I want to travel alone, I want to go with my BB! I have been there before and I don't think its fun going to Taiwan alone! Its not Tibet!

Then, I have all this clashes with the working schedule against that of my BB's =(

I don't want to skip work at the first week of the month, and she don't want to skip work at the last week of the month, because these are important working weeks for us. Doubt we can get leave easy.

Then her colleagues is either have the 2nd or 3rd week of the month, which they are taking leave, and so she can't...

Now I just remember, my current working contract last till end of May 2009, hence I would need to clear the leave by then. Though I should be continue working with my current company after that, I wonder if I can bring leave stated in my current contract over to my continued working term after, if I do not use it by May (which I think its quite hard as my company prefers people who use up their leave sparingly during their work year).

Cathay flights are cheapest option, but its so bloody long as they are tranfer flights... Not to mention they eat away "active fun" times, at very bad timings.

Budget airlines are even cheaper but I am not sure if I want to take on the cramp seats, for that slightly cheaper option to that of Cathay with good packages along with the hotelling.

Bah~

Maybe I should get a one-way flight and jump into South China Sea..

Spratly Islands looks like a hotspot for holiday or making one of the small islet my new state of "The Great Kingdom of the Holiday Hot Spot".

Check out my new blog!

I have a new blog! I named it:

ministry-of-solutions

I'm civilised, again.

Well, finally I am back from my reservist and I am blogging (Yes, I am a bit bored and bo liao now, hence I am blogging).

Reservist was fun.

At least for the MUTs (aka Make-Up Trainees), MUT like me.

MUT are people who deferred their previous ICT and hence the make-up.

With basically no men under my care (all but one combat man, in which he have at least two other section commanders like me), MUT commanders walk free where they wanted with resepcts to our attached superiors, whom most of the time do not know what to do with us as there was no vacancies of their own commanders deferring their ICT.

But of course, MUTs also learn the combat or technical skills they needed to brush off the rust after ORDing for years. That man I got ORDed 12 years ago and he's now 31, and the ICT was his first one -.-'

Speaking of deficiencies in the great organisation..

Anyway, my military know-how are still pretty fresh after 2 years when I ORDed. But my field combat skills are a little rusty as I do not use them in my "lo bo" NSF unit life.

Still, I managed to lead a small section when their own section commander fallen ill. The feeling of teaching and leading men in the field is good (unless you screwed up).

Managed to guide a platoon sergeant kawan who had trouble with numbers and he was appointed as an ammo in-charge for live firing. Tried my best to teach him but in the end, the left hand print is ALWAYS different from the right hand print because they were too many hands dealing with the bullets.

As before, the ammo party is certanly nothing to part about when you couldn't sleep for 26 hours.

For the last of the fun, its always good to be the enemy.

The down side is really the bloody mozzies, in which some are commandoes. The can bite through your uniform and are immuned to standard issued repellant which corrodes plastics.

I have more than 10 swells all over my limbs.

Well, so much for the memories =D
