Tired
I believe that, very soon, I'll die from fatigue. Let me explain. Friday 24th Feb 2006 Time: 0745hrs - 0700hrs Total No. Of Hours: 23hrs 15mins Venue: War Hub What did I do: Face the computer, left clicked the mouse about 1 million times, and right clicked it about 300,000 times. Dear was complaining that we, NSFs, should not work overnight like this, as we are only getting an allowance, not a pay. The difference? I really do not know. Lolx. I can tell you that for the 20 hours (minus off lunch time and toilet breaks) I was in front of the computer, I wasn't paying attention for 95% of it. The remaining 5% is early in the morning when I tried to be "garang", but failed terribly. The main reason why we're spending so much time doing all these, is because SAF officers like to say the words "NO" and "CHANGE". Just because of these 2 words, we came up with a working process called the Intelligence Work Cycle. It goes like this. 1) Receive work. 2) Do work. 3) Review work. 4) Show to superior for approval. 5) The word "NO" and "CHANGE" comes up. 6) Receive work again. Therefore, we concluded that the Intelligence Work Cycle will be forever, as there will always be changes. These people cannot make up their mind, and they cannot remember what they said to us. One minute, he can tell us to do Work A, and the next they'll deny making us do Work A, say "NEVER MIND. WE CHANGE", and then do Work B. In the end, who suffer? Us. Sigh. Sunday 26th Feb 2006 Time: 0700hrs - 1300hrs Total No. Of Hours: 6hrs Venue: Sentosa Football Pitch What did I do: Run around the field like a madman, injured my right outside foot, and lost the match 4-5. It's been more than a year, since I last touched a soccer ball. Seriously, I'm lacking match fitness. I was panting after running for just 5 minutes! More than a year ago, it's a totally different story! I need to work on my skills and fitness again, but I simply do not have the time. Army, Army, Army. I shan't further explain. Somebody out there, just give me secret manual that has been lost in the pugilistic world, "Get Fit Without Exercising". Monday 27th Feb 2006 Time: 0745hrs - 0500hrs Total No. Of Hours: 21hrs 15mins Venue: War Hub What did I do: Same as Friday. To conclude, Total No. Of Days Passed: 4 days Total No. Of Hours Passed: 96 hours Total No. Of Hours Spent Working: 44 hours 30 mins Total No. Of Hours Spent Exercising: 6 hours Total No. Of Hours Spent With Dear: 40 hours Therefore, 96 - 44 1/2 - 6 - 40 = 5 1/2 hours Using the above formula, I found out that I've only slept peacefully for 5 1/2 hours in 4 days. Percentage wise: (5.5 / 96) * 100 = 5.73% I'm a sleepy, dying man. Posted by sKysHaDoW at 11:41 AM Thursday, February 23, 2006
Nanyang Sex Video Scandal
In case you guys do not know, this girl called Tammy (or Tammie) had her sex video spread over the Internet. I'm just wondering. What is the big deal about it? It is just another sex video that is on the Internet. The only thing is that it involves a female student in Singapore, and is deemed unethical. I haven't watch the video clip, but I heard that she gave a blowjob to her boyfriend before getting into the real action, and she got flamed for doing it. She's just a girlfriend who's trying to satisfy her boyfriend's sexual desire. What's wrong with it? Yes, I agree that she was stupid to allow her boyfriend to film their sex session using their handphone. I mean, what happens if her friends check her phone out and see the clip? Will she boast about her own skills or her boyfriend's "rod"? Or will she be embarrassed by it, avoid the topic, and warn her friends not to tell anyone? But if it's the latter, then why film it in the first place? Sometimes, I just can't understand what are they thinking. Yes, it is good to keep a video of their own sexual escapade, so that when they get old, they can watch it and be reminded of how "good" they were when they were young. But with technology advancing, it is never easy to keep a digital video safe. You won't know when will someone hack into your computer, find out about the sex video, upload to the Internet, and you become a porn star overnight. If you revert to the olden days and use a tape to record the video, you won't know when will anyone break into your house and again, happen to find out about the video, duplicate it and sell it in the black market. Come on people. It's just another sex session that goes on anywhere, anytime in the world. Anyway, I believe that they didn't break the law. They were both above 16, and therefore are of legal age. Moreover, it is with the girl's consent that the video was filmed. Give her a break. Do not ruin her life with this incident. Forget about it. You horny guys out there, stop talking about how it would feel if you were the guy, and stop dreaming about her body. And girls, stop discussing about how bitchy she is by filming her own sexual escapade, or about how lousy her skills are. I just cannot imagine her going out, get recognised on the streets, and get approached for a sex session by guys, as though she's a prostitute. Just a word of advice. If you and your spouse decide to film your session down, go ahead. But do not blame anyone if you did not keep it safely, and find your video being circulated over the Internet. If this do not happen, then good, as it will be a very sweet memory for the both of you. Stop talking about it. P.S. I'm in camp! Posted by sKysHaDoW at 11:30 AM Sunday, February 19, 2006
Japan Universal Studios
In today's post, I'm gonna talk about just Universal Studios. When we first reached there, we had to wait for quite some time before we could get our tickets. That's not good service! One thing we learnt from this place, is that the Japanese like to give you the idea that the queue you're in is very short. How? Blindspots and turns after turns. After you enter the room, immediately you see the exit point, and you think that the queue is very short, because from the first look of it, it really seems like it. But we're wrong! Every queue is so damn long, it beats any queue formed during the Hello Kitty craze in here! But besides that, everything else was awesome. Spiderman, E.T., Jurassic Park, Jaws etc. You name it, you got it. Even though we waited 1 1/2 hours for the spiderman ride (and almost giving up), it was well worth the wait. The ride was the best I've ever taken in my entire life. The 3D effects were so real! This must be the first ride you go to when you visit Universal Studios. Trust me. It is worth the wait. We also sat in a couple of rides, and they're all good. The only one thing that's bad is that everything is in Japanese. During the entire wait for the Spiderman ride, there were many screens that showed clips regarding Spiderman and the army of villians like Doctor Octopus, Hobgoblin etc. The main aim is to build up to the ride, so that you will know what the ride is all about. BUT WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND JAPANESE! Can't they have English narration? Isn't English the international language? Enough said. Enjoy the pictures :) P.S. Pictures of rides are not available, as we were too busy enjoying, and also our cameras will fly off if we attempt to take any pictures. And also, pardon the lack of pictures, as the rest of them were captured in the video cam. Anyone who wants it can buy it from me for 1000 Yen.  This is the entrance of Universal Studios.  Beautiful Building 1.  Beautiful Building 2.  Beautiful Building 3. That's Marcus, Dear's brother, playing with his video cam.  Beautiful Building 4.  Entrance of Jurassic Park "Zone".  Inside the E.T. Ride. Next stop, Tokyo Disneyland :) Posted by sKysHaDoW at 2:53 AM Monday, February 13, 2006
Random
Too many things to talk about. 1. I have 3 ulcers currently, and it is killing me. 2. Sent Jeremaine off at the airport on Friday, who's going to Shanghai for 6 months for research and survey 3. The buffet dinner on Saturday night costs $45 each. Crazy shit. 4. A happening Saturday. First, KTV session at Sunlight. Next, "Fearless" at GV Plaza. Lastly, supper at kopi tiam. Stayed at dear's place for the night. (nothing happened, sadly) 5. Was late for dinner at my Ah Ma's place, and got scolded by my auntie. 6. Was scolded by my dear for not getting even flowers for her, and had to reveal my plan for a surprise on V Day itself. 7. Found out that my surprise plan cannot work, and had to reveal Plan B. 8. Dear bought a new PSP, and an awesome game. 9. Dear bought me Winning Eleven 9 PSP English Version, which just got released. 10. I found a loophole in the internet settings in SAF. I'm able to log in to blogger.com! In case you guys do not know, SAF blocked this site's log in button. I assume they do not want us to blog about classified things. 11. I can now only pray that on Tuesday itself, I will be allowed to leave early on account of my contribution to the planning for the exercise this April. But nothing is gonna stop me from going to give the flowers to my dear on V Day. Goodnight, people. Early Happy Valentine's Day. Posted by sKysHaDoW at 12:06 AM Sunday, February 05, 2006
Back From Japan
Here I am, back from Japan. Sigh. I'm gonna put my thoughts in point form. There's too many things inside that I want to say, but I can't remember it clearly. Warning: Large entry, due to number of pictures. 1) Vending Machines The amount of vending machines in Japan is crazy! They have it everywhere! And they have all kinds of vending machines. They have vending machines that sell canned drinks, bottled drinks, cigarettes, train tickets, eggs etc. Here's 2 examples.  This is most common seen. A cigarette vending machine.  This is the train ticket vending machine. 2) Technology Their level of technology is crazy over there. At the Toyota showroom, they have a car that drives by itself. All you need to do is to set the destination, and the car will go by itself. On the road, there are sensors placed in the middle of the road, and the car will detect it and move accordingly. They are still researching and will implement this in the future. This way, when you're on the highway, you can just set your destination and let the car drive by itself. It's totally safe as the car will position itself quite a distance away from the car in front, therefore preventing any accident from happening. Because of their big notes (1000, 5000 and 10,000), they have a small machine beside their cashier that vends out notes immediately. I bought some chewing gum at this small mart, and I used a 10,000 note. Instead of going to the cashier and count 9,000 out, the cashier entered 9,000 on that small machine, and within 2 seconds, out comes the 9,000 yen. Another example is their arcade machine. I'll just talk about one, a touch screen mahjong game. They have user accounts for each player, and how do they log in? They use fingerprint recognition. They place their index finger on the fingerprint reader, and then enter a 4 digit password, and there you go! Can you imagine seeing that in Singapore? 3) Weather The weather there is fantastic! It ranges from 4 deg C to 10 deg C, and I must say that I'm in love with that weather! It's like a huge air-con outside the buildings, and like what I told my dear, how can anyone possibly have oily skin and pimples in such weather conditions? :p But it gets really cold when the wind comes, and it comes really strong. Not exaggerating, but I almost fell when the wind turned really strong at the Disneyland. In any case, I still love it. I hate Singapore's all-summer weather. 4) Food Being a huge lover of Miso soup, going to Japan is like a dream come true for me to taste authentic Miso soup, and not those out from machines in Yoshinoya. Every single day, I have Miso soup for breakfast. Without fail. But of course, there's other things, and I must say their food is really good. Not all, but most. The one thing that I cannot take it, is that they love raw food. Raw squid, raw fish, raw everything! And oh, they do not have chilli sauce. Their sushi is crazy. The meat on top on the rice is so huge, you can't even see the rice! Even if you can, you take the meat and roll the rice in it! Too bad I do not have any pictures of that in my camera. I'll gather other pictures soon and will put them in an album for you guys.  An example of a breakfast. 5) Service/Attitude I can say they have the best service in the world. They greet every customer that enters the shop with a smile, they have very high efficiency (I actually see workers run to clean up the table), they don't chit chat with their friends on the phone/counter when working etc. There's just too many examples to list out. Another thing about them is that they do not say excuse me when you're blocking their way. They simply either squeeze through, find another route, or wait behind patiently. Yes, they might grumble, but they do not ask you to move away. I believe they find that rude. The waiters and waitresses do not clear your table when you're eating. They only do so either when you're not at your table, or when you leave the restaurant. They clean every single part of their shop, and have people sweeping the floor all the time. I passed by one shop, and I saw one of the workers scrapping away dirt that accumulated on the floor! They have many food samplers for people to try before buying it. And I believe that Singaporeans, being the kiasu type, will eat hell lots of it, and not buy any of it. Not all Singaporeans, but many many. 6) Religious The japanese are really religious people. They have many temples everywhere, and all kinds of god! The way they pray is different though. Whenever you want to enter a temple to pray, you must first cleanse your hand at a small well. First use your right hand to hold the saddle and scoop the water to wash your left hand. Next, do the same thing for your right hand. In the temple itself, they put the incense in the urn, and then here's the funny part. While people in Singapore try to run away from the urn because of the amount of smoke it emits, people in Japan believe in "scooping in" the smoke from the urn. They use their hands and bring the smoke to them, as though they're bathing with it. Interesting, eh?  One of the many pagodas around.  I do not know what those are for. They look nice though.  That lantern weighs 3 tonnes! Amazing! Guess I'll stop for now. Really tired. Maybe it's because I need to go back to camp tomorrow. I'll carry on next weekend. Goodnight everyone.
