Momo Hangover.

Yesterday, Friday night and over. Went clubbing last night. Finally a change of clubbing site other than always ChinaBlack. The place for that night was the newest club in town, Club MoMo.

It was definitely a refreshing experience there. The club house was big and had well fantasized ambience for different night owls. I'll take to that in details later part.

The key point of the hang was the meeting with my bootcamp mates, attended by Darren, Pin Han, Qunjie, Yanren and Chee Keong. But I went there late even though I was on time. I was misinformed by Darren to met at 2145 instead of the correct 2045 international timing...

Also, along with Chee Keong, he brought his god-sister. Around 1 4 0 or so, she's a small and cute girl which I met before at my previous clubbin' night out too but I never remember her name, neither did I bother to ask again. She's so small, that's its easy for people to miss her and knock her over. She still likes to dance in a very peculiar "hip" style I've noted.

I had a great and nice time well spent mostly on the dance floor, The Boudoir, where we all danced to the tunes of R&B and Hip-hop. We went to MoMo Live to escape from the Trance beats even though I was fine with it. Chee Keong and his god-sis were more into Hip-hop and R&B I guess.

Before going into the house, I've already noticed the alfresco Beer Garden outside. After, I went thorugh the entrance via the MoMo Live room, integrated with the Champagne Terrace. If you want classier and glassier drinks, that's the place. At the end of the club house, its the rest rooms. Before it, it is the Games Room and Sports Bar, great place for beer, pool as well as soccer watch on two big plasma projections.

Overall, I had a great and nice night there. Hope to hang there more often (but not always!) next time.


 

Club MoMo, it is bigger and more happening night hangout than what you see here!

Spilling Popcornz.

Yesterday, Thursday. Went to watch the movie, Wedding Crashers, at the Causeway Point in Woodlands. It is a collaborated colleague-get-together event with Aloysius, Patrick, Sir Iskandar, Khairul and si-moei Alfred.

A nice humourous movie. Depicting two post-divorce mediators who are also seasonal wedding crashers, partners in action, who hunts pretty girls at the weddings into beds.

The ease of them crashing wedding is unbelievable. They're like kings at the wonderful social events.

But when one of the partners decide he's enough of wedding crashing and needed something more spritual called love, he crashed into it instead and found himself someone to love.

But he eventually lost himself when his secret identity as a wedding crasher is found out by the one he loves. And that separated them.

The violations in the wedding crashing art also caused turmoil between the friendship of the wedding crasher friends.

Eventually, the lead lost himself in the indulgence of wedding crashing as if like drinking wine.

In the end, the lead eventually is able to realise the truth and declare what's right for his beloved and himself.


 

Boy do I like the line, "Life's a party, crash it. Out now."

Travelling.

"Life is travelling through time. No matter what journeys you take, small ones or big ones, there are all travelling. Life progresses with the people you walk with, but sometimes, you have to walk alone. But remember you're never alone always or in the end."

Yesterday, Saturday. Well, I wasn't having any big events yesterday. Not even one a properly planned one.

I was bored then.

But I managed to join up with my best friend Elvin, to accompany with his journey to find some locksmith/keysmith who could duplicate some very specially patented key, which he lost.

The key was his bunk room key. He didn't what to report the lost of the key to his superi, as he would risk fine plus confinements. So he wanted to find a locksmith/keysmith who could duplicate him one, using another spare key from his bunkmate.

So for almost half of the whole day we were on that. Initially, we went to Chinatown, but the locksmith was away and the shop was closed, back to open only in the evening.

So we went all the way to Hougang by taking the MRT transit. From there, we further took a cab to a neighbourhood area where we found the smith we wanted to find. We did manage to make a key but it wasn't exactly the one.

It was almost the same, but that's the best the smith could make for us. The cutting was more thin as the smith couldn't find the original key base to make one. The key coulkd risk bending as well as even breaking.

Now, I could only hope the key worked for Elvin.

Anyway, while we waited for the key to be made, we took our dinner at a nearby coffeeshop.

After that, we took a bus to Ang Mo Kio MRT station, then took the train back to Chinatown to check whether the smith there is there and is able to produce a better key, but to no vail.

So, after that, it was leisure time.

Elvin and I decided and walked from Chinatown all the way to Dhouby Ghaut area for LAN gaming.

From Chinatown, we walked through the commercial area, passing the Boat Quay nightlife, then crazily, walked through the Fort Canning Hill Park.

In the evening night, Fort Canning Hill Park was definitely a romantic site, in which Elvin and I both agreed that we should bring our girlfriends there one day.

Nicely litted by colonial-styled street lamps, gently glowing flora, decorated by ancient Malay, British colonial, gothic and war relics, the park is beautiful in the silence of the weekend. Only a few couples romance their nights there.

But in this lunar 7th month of the Hungry Ghost Festival, the walk in the park was also eerie, especially along the tomb tablets. But luckily, nothing supernatural happened, except a passing-by stray cat.

After the short discovering experience through the Fort Canning Park, it was satisfying for the knowledge thirsty mind of mine.

There after, we took onto our LAN gaimng, where I teach Elvin a popular LAN game.

After the whole fun, we went home taking the cab.

Unevenly Tanned, Unhealthy Lunch.

This recent weekdays. The weather was absolutely horrible these days. God damn hot! I'm always feeling that I'm burning up these days under the merciless summer sun.

Its like 33 degrees celsius... 34... 35!

I did say I want a tan, but definitely not an uneven one!

Now, three-quarters down my arms are sun-burnt and so is my face and the rounded immediate area around my neck. I looked like I'm wearing a human skin t-shirt now.

Argh. Gotta really get out to the beaches and get a proper bake!

Besides that recent whine on my job, another is about food.

My fav curry is being sickened. My weekdays lunch is always muslim food, most of the times with curry sauced. And usually muslim food is always side-dished with fried or oily food.

Being diet and healthy-concious me, I may consider a move to non-muslim which is more healthier. But then again, non-muslim food is just mixed rice foody and simply made me lack interest in them too...

Well, for now, I'll just see. I'll just eat less rice for now, and try to exercise more.

; )

Seven Swords.

Yesterday, Friday evening. I've watched the movie, Seven Swords, directed by Tsui Hark, along with Kent and Joseph.

With typical Tsui Hark's filming style, the martial arts film looked marvellous with abundance of nice natural sceneries. As for the story itself, it is the typical "heroes to the rescue" plot.

The techical rhythm of the movie is set at a pretty nice pace along with all the scenes and sounds all correctly placed.

Though overall the movie lacked some kind of break-through, the movie is still enjoyable, especially for martial arts comic, film and swords-lovers.


 

ModTix goes watermarked in integrated movie poster.

UberChalet: Mahjong Marathon.

That last stretch of free time. Along with Huiyan and boyfriend, Weizhong, Ros and hubbie Thomas, Hong Yun, Shiling and Chee Wee, an unofficial UberChalet was held in the city right at Bukit Batok heartlands.

No BBQ, no beach, no sweat. Just a nice getaway at someone's house. It was also to be a major mahjong marathon meet.

The marathon lasted from Saturday to Sunday, plus yesterday too, Monday, even after my half-day "work" of attending a simple Nation Observance Day parade.

Anyway, the mahjong marathon is definitely a crazy one, or should I say for crazy ones. I had 5 or 6 games altogether but I didn't win, but I sure had fun.

Though really, the initial plan wasn't all the way playing mahjong, but in the end, after a tiring over-night mahjong, nobody had the energy to head for East Coast for a more active leisure, even though I thought I could finally use my somewhat virgin blades...

But in the end, the addiction won.

Anyway, I was also very tired then.

Ros' naughty brown doggy, Boy-boy, kept me quite awake barking over his disagreement over territorial lost of the guest toilet. So when ever, someone went to that toilet, he barks to make noise, waking me and others up in the living room.

Ros' had to use her cane to discipline the dog several times. It is certainly quite pitiful for the dog, but Boy-boy was really noisy and restless. So... he kinda deserve it I think.

I didn't win money for the games, but the best is still just being with your friends and enjoy the good times with them.

: )

Relaxing and at Peace.

Recently. After meditating much recently, thinking through some things, I finally find some peace.

I am starting to enjoy my work again, even with people I seem to dislike in some of their ways.

I am quite a sensitive person but I try to be less of that so that I can be in my bliss and certainly be unaffected by troubles.

But how long will this kind of peace and relaxing mood I have now last?

Well, I can certainly stay neutral here and enjoy that peace and relaxation forever. That will go on unless somebody disturbs me seriously, then I'll have retaliate seriously.

But war isn't what I wanted anyway, I just want peace and to live happily with the people around me.

I've been Discovered!

Today. Oh no! My blog has been discovered by one of my officers and someone else from my unit!

I just hope that my blog maintains more discreet in my unit or else it'll certainly create some sort mayhem at wrok... Hope the latters who knew about my blog will keep it discreet.

But nevermind, I've already been expecting my blog being exposed somehow one day. Afterall, I made my blog public and I have my rights to the freedom of speech and press! I don't care!

Muahahaha!

(Gheezzz... I sounded like Wendy Cheng form xiaxue.blogspot.com!)

But of course, speaking of having the rights of freedom to speech and press, bloggers should have the initiative and be responsible to what they publish online in the public, even though it is their own alternative point of view.

As for blog watchers, they should also be open to different points of view even though they may dislike it. Afterall, it is a form of respect into understanding someone's point of view that differs from you own.

In the name of freedom of speech and press, I am also open to opinions. Please feel free to comment and feedback on "Your Pespective" and "Crappin' Board".

Cause only open-mindedness meant true understanding.

Reflections...

As being a responsible blogger, it is also time for me to reflect and resolve on some of the blog issues brought up in my blogspot, to see it in some other perspectives I can, especially those relating to my anger and frustrations at work. I also needed to update some of those issues too.

Firstly, the issue on my frustrations with my current job.

One of my officers said that I was saying bad things about my unit SSC, but didn't I spoke of the good ones too?

Anyway, its just plain typical venting of frustrations through words. Afterall, I couldn't really do anything to chnage my job prospects. I still have to live with my job for at least another 14 months!

Secondly, the issue on my platoon-in-charge, Sharil, being a chao keng by reporting sick and skipping appointment of being an ammo escort.

I must admit that I'm not a perfect person. I do slack openly for all to see but I do not chao keng by taking any sort of work leave, medical leave of even reporting sick so that I could skip work.

I am trying to be dedicated to my work, as I knew my absence could cause some manpower shortage problem which could affect everyone effectiveness and effeiciency in my platoon's overall workload.

The only problem of an issue of slacking is that sometimes, when I went back to range after being an ammo escort escorting ammo to the range, I was expected to return to the butt area to do butt work, which I sometimes did not.

There from the morning after I escorted the ammo, I would slack at the ammo point of the range instead of going to the butt till after lunch. By doing this, some of my men were not happy that I wasn't helping them at the butt, including my platoon-in-charge, Shahril, who wasn't happy too.

But at those times, my attitude was that, I've been an ammo escort for almost every single day for about a month already, and as being an ammo escort, its always been a fact that I had to go back to camp late as an ammo escort most of the times while the rest are back in camp sometimes very much earlier.

Ammo escort may seem to be an easy job, but going back late is something no one wishes to be. This is especially even more difficult when I'm always almost the only one to do the ammo escort appointment because hardly anyone wishes to do it and it has to be a specialist of their own inidividual platoon to do it.

The men did not understand that they did not have to do the ammo escort appointment even since my unit's deputy manager officially made it a directive that only a specialist could do the job.

Worst still, when my other fellow specialist, Hazli, was to become the ammo officer, it would always be me doing the ammo escort as Shahril obviously didn't wanted to do it and always pushes the appointment to me (and thus, I've always sign in-and-out the escort arm for almost about a month as proven in my escort arms book).

So as you could have imagine, I had much long working hours and perhaps even more workload that tires me out mentally in one whole day by doing as an ammo escort as well as a full day of doing butt work.

By comparison of going back to camp late as being part of the ammo party as an ammo escort to any other specialists doing as ammo officer, I can claim that I have more continuous late working hours day after day. At least others take turns as being the part of the ammo party.

So judging by all these factors, could I not be tempted to slack at times, especially when I felt that I'm unfairly treated in my work time compared to others?

That argued my point on this matter.

Lastly, on the thrid issue, in which on an incident, Shahril did physically and wrongfully damaged my integrity when he forcefully flicked my nose after I joke with him back when everybody thought he was joking to me about some missing RAIs issue.

(You can go back and check out the story of this incident my previous blog on this issue titled, "Hatred at Work".)

And I can prove that everybody, including me, thought that at that point when he said about the missing RAIs problem, everybody thought he was joking to me. My best witness was the safety driver, Peh P B, who was present at the time of the incident, who also told me clearly that he thought Shahril was also joking to me at the time.

But Shahril took it as an offence to him when I joke with him back, he thought that I was mocking him in because he could go back to camp late due to the missing RAIs and he had to account for them as he was the ammo officer for that day.

I admit by joking back, it could be a mistake of some insentivity that my joke in return could offend him because it hurt his feelings, most probably his pride. But I didn't joke in return to mock him purposely, I joke in return for pure humour to be shared by everyone that was present there.

His irrational actions has insulted my integrity and damaged my reputation somewhat as he did in front of quite a number of people.

And I think he owe me an apology for his irrational actions which insulted my integrity.

I believe no one has the right to insult or damage an individual person's integrity when he is angry, especially the person he insulted is innocent and the person who is angry is most probably irrational to judge the situation.

It is totally irrational to insult someone's integrity just because he's angry, simply because it is unreasonable, which is unacceptable.
