got this off a blog of zac's friend's friend/edna's good friend's bf [its all a lil friendster, no?].

"i'm starting to relate ipods to universities. like nus is the original ipod cause its like the first and traditional. ntu is like the creative zen (boring), advertise to much all over the papers but still nobody want (you get what i mean). smu is the ipod mini or photo, haha...hip and colourful. and that's where i'm going! yeah! hmmm...and ipod shuffle's like private universities...small."

funny, no? haha. anyway i'm so loving this song! heh. thanks to edna for the songs. there's this other song by buble "save the last dance for me"? and its nicer. makes u wanna dance chacha. haha. serious... oh yes. and many thanks to mery for teaching the html-illiterate me to upload songs on my blog. ;)

this song'd be very apt if i ever decide to go to wales and study, which i so want to at this very instant. i kinda like uwic. university of wales institute, cardiff. one of the top few in UK, or so the website says. they dont offer economics. but they have accountancy and economics, which is equally fine. and like i've mentioned for the two millionth time, the prospect of speaking with a british accent so so beckons. i know that shouldnt be the main reason for me wanting to go there. haha. oh well... we'll see how.

sq's have a promotion. 128 to jakarta or bangkok. 288 to perth! 498 to sydney! sigh. my mom's reply "we'll see how..." obviously is well, lukewarm. she wouldnt mind me going to jakarta tho. i'm still considering. and of cuz i'd be the one paying. ahh. the thought of having a short getaway is so so inviting. sigh.

i'm on off on thursday. gss! shall make a trip down to town and hopefully i'd hit on nice bargains. and that whatever i buy will have my size in crazy sales like this. haha. cheerios...

omggg. you guys cant believe what s85xxx26i, cpl hafizan did for singapore! holy lord. okay... i was doing civilian desk on wednesday morning. i happened to be doing it cuz no other RPs wanted to do. so okay. then this group of say, 10 grass cutters came? and obviously they're all foreign workers. so one by one they came and gave me their work permit card in exchange for visitor passes. then, prolly the fifth guy [lets call him A] came and gave me his work permit card. and i happened to scrutinise his work permit card. made sure its not expired, made sure the face tallies and stuff. [oh btw, i normally dont do that? so yeah] everything okay, so i gave him his visitor pass. few mins later, his friend came along using an exact copy of A's work permit card. and i remember A's name. so obviously i was like "eh? wtf!?" so went searching for A's work permit card. and ah-huh! it was the same exact copy. its like me and u, but u hold a copy of my ic? which obviously is so wrong? yeah. informed my sgt. sgt -> csm -> police & higher authorities. and so the police came and handcuffed the guy away. the employer too. felt kinda guilty lah. but oh well...

so at night i told my mom, full of myself and i freaking got a scolding from her lah! she was like "the poor guy's only trying to make a living and support his family back in bangladesh! why did u have to do that!" of cuz i felt bad lah. the best i could do was to say a prayer for him before i slept.

but honestly. how many of u can catch illegal foreign workers man?! not many lor. tsk. i did it not for my camp. not for the SAF. but for singapore! holy lord. and its the third time an illegal foreign worker has been caught. the last time my colleague caught one, he was awarded with 3 days off and a letter of commendation from the chief engineer officer. seriously! how many nsf's will get a letter of commendation from their formation's head?! not everyone. i bet this letter of commendation will dwarf even the officers' whatever! haha. ok. enough. my csm was telling me the loc will do wonders to my resume. and i certainly hope not in the field of security only. haha. please...

on duty tmr. fuck. i know i shouldnt be complaining when i was the one who planned the monthly duty plan for the RPs. haha. did i tell u there's no more prowling to be done for the rp specs? so guess i'll just laze around in the guardroom with nothing to do, ipod for company. which reminds me, time to update ipod! many many nice songs! [thankew edna!] hero, out! ;)

i'm just an RP. why make me do things so so so so so so way outta my jobscope? what? am i clerk as well? bloody hell. there i was, shivering and sitting in some ISO meeting which i totally know nuts about. i dont even know what it freaking stands for. its like putting a pure arts student in some biology lecture. no. make that biology conducted in greek. yes. i absolutely had no idea what was going on.

fuck. why am i the admin spec? just cuz i work my magic on the keyboard at supposedly amazing lightning speed? pls. i'm not even it-savvy. we have a fair share of those with at least a levels and above in the guardroom. why me? do i get benefits for doing all these shit which i so so unwillingly do? hell no. army sucks. big time. and i wanna ord. badly. argh.

bah. i dunno wtf my blogger's in chinese and all. and when i keyed in my password some chinese words came up and obviously i didnt knoe what to do. so i clicked on what i thought would be the forget password button. and blogger emailed me a link and when i clicked on it it told me to change my password. again i anyhow directed myself. its totally in chinese i dont even knoe where to click to change it to english! argh.

anyways, i'm back. heh. been lazy as usual. finally signed up for my french language class on saturday after much much procrastination. had wanted to learn at alliance francaise [the french equivalent of the british council]. got a shock when we reached there. we thought the course fees are 244 bucks. but its actually 244 bucks per module. and there are 6 modules under beginners! damn expensive lah. quite sad, i'd very much prefer to study there. anyway, signed myself up at oxford language sch. its those classrooms which dont really look like classrooms. bah. nvm. the lady said we'd have a french vocab of 6000 words at least after advanced or smth. am really looking forward to that. haha. but lemme start with my lesson first.

met mel after i registered en route to tampines. and she said i looked lost. i'm like thanks? lol. should have asked her to accompany me eat bk or smth since i was still quite early. [eh, meet up soon? haha] reached tampines half an hour before i was supposed to meet my camp friends. ended up eating with loneliness for company. and the bbq was kinda dreary. cliques here and there. tsk.

planned to sleep my sunday away until marc asked me out to town since he wanted to shop. so i left home not having any intention of shopping. went to fossil since he wanted to get smth from there. and it was there i saw a watch i kinda liked. bought it after much procrastination. haha. its much cheaper than the diesel one i wanna get. so i'm still saving money k. met edna and clive. and clive was like happily shopping. so sorry for edna. haha. oh well. needa get diana smth. she sent me a card all the way from melbourne and even got me something for my bday? dunno why but i feel kinda bad. haha.

think i better apply for my pdl soon. keep procrastinating. i wanna get my license soon! heh. monday's down, four more days to a long weekend! yay. desperate housewives later, double yay! =)

alrighttt! shall do a quickie before i watch the telly. went all the way to changi airport today to fetch my mom. again, i got the urge to just fly off and pamper myself one time big one. sigh. and in all enthusiasm i was friendstering and viewing the profiles of the crew of sia. came across this pilot's profile and on it was the address of his blog. me, being inquisitive, decided to check it out to *ahem* prepare myself for pilothood? haha. right. anyways, he blogged about the many many months of training in jandakot, perth. the many many manuals to study. bah. oh well. and they do have malay pilots too. whee!

anyways, my mom's flight was from amsterdam. so obviously there'd be a fair bit of dutch pple. so while waiting for my mom, i was just people-watching. and there was this group of dutch toddlers. so cute so cute. especially this boy. he had blonde hair, gray eyes and nice lashes to boot. gosh. he's gonna be good looking when he grows up i tell u. and no, not being a paedo here. haha. and so the dutch passengers came out streaming after they've collected their luggage. couldn't help it but notice them. they are blessed with such good looks, good skin and of such high stature. hai. and i saw this really young klm pilot. *daydreams* and there was this really really really really pretty brunette with an equally pretty pretty friend who was there at the airport to fetch her. haha.

my mom didn't really get anything for me except for lotsa and lotsa chocolates. so she gave me some money. and i'm like so much richer now. haha. thinking of getting that diesel watch but all of a sudden i think its expensive. damn. this is not good.

workwise, the new batch of corporals have been elevated to become rp specs. something like rp ics. with it comes many responsibilites. oh man. and i was given the task of planning this month's duty plan. and i happily happily planned myself on the 5th thinking i'd get a super long weekend. duty on the 5th. duty off on the 6th [which is a friday] and hence the super long weekend. but i forgot it was the day of jc syf! hai. how clever. thats for being selfish and planning myself on a thursday duty. haha.

went to utilize my levis 25% off on saturday after meeting a friend. was served by this crossdresser by the name of melissa, whu had humps on his/her chest. gosh. totally gross. bad complexion, rebonded hair gone wrong and badly inarticulated english. and when i was asking for help and she happened to be the only one available she was like "oh, the other guy pls". wtf! fucking bitch. u think i wanted to ask for ur help meh. duh.

has anyone seen the mtv 'girl' by destiny's child? i cant help but think kelly rowland looks like eva longoria! holy lord. and i really really really think so eh. haha. okie! here's to a short week and a long weekend! ;)
