Unit Posting

2

Well, would be heading back to SFT (Singapore Ferry Terminal) to get my NS posting which would decide whether I get to sweat out or slack for the next 2 years. Hopefully I could get a 9-5 job in an aircon-ed environment with the DSO (defense science organization). Otherwise, I would like to give command school a try, as I don’t wanna waste the 2 years learning nothing too, why not make the best out of it.

Just dun wanna be a rifleman.. *duh*

Mmmmm, and the dumb NUS is still processing my university application, wonder whats taking so long…

Family week is coming to an end, hope everybody enjoyed theirs. Cos I did *kinda* enjoyed mine. Yes, I believe not all families are perfect and there are bound to be ups and downs in life, but as all things are like- life just have to carry on and make the best out of it. Hey! thats what family days are for.

Now onto some chores of mine:

  • Father’s Day is around the corner.
  • *Super father’s day present- Check!
  • *Super father’s day card- Check!
  • Sister’s birthday coming in a week’s time.
  • *Super birthday card- Check!
  • *Super birthday present- Darn Outta cash..
  • Grrr. hope mum will help chip in some cash..

Just watched a clip from the show Animatrix regarding the matrix and I guess that really opened up the matrix story from the beginning. But when you come to think about it, present life is indeed seemingly heading into the path of the matrix beginning, just like in the movie- automation, a second class of working robots and the eventual retaliation and conflicts. I won’t be amused if such things become such a reality in the near possible future. And the robots have their side of the story to tell too, they are not completely the bad guys… as obviously portrayed in the movie itself.. Jus wait and see…

Mmm and today’s friday the 13th.. a lucky day! yea!! time to walk under more ladders and break more mirrors…

Hans @ great eastern building

0

Went for dinner at Hans @ great eastern building, partly as it was conveniently located near mum’s workplace and we were really hungry at that time after a long day of work. Also, on a note, I guess Hans had shifted their main bakery operations here from their old Thomspon branch. Think they had decided to “go-public” like breadtalk, good to see more competitors around and hopefully we consumers will benefit with prices wars.. 😀 hehe *grinz*

The place, though spacious and posh looking (the floor area is even bigger than the citibank branch next door) the food standard is still not there yet.. And the pastry prices are definitely outrageous- $1.30 for a bagel? Argh! Still prefer the old tradiitonal Hans kitchen style setting, mostly seen at other branches particularly @ Marina Square.

Walked around the nearby Far East China Square area after dinner and noticed a Marche style resturant called “village” in the basement of the shopping area, quite interesting. Mmm, and how did I get to notice that? well, its mostly Follow-the-Plastic-Advert-Bulls, you won’t miss them in the vicinity! Might consider goind there one day… Well, my sister’s is off for a class BBQ with her friends, would be coming back late. House so quiet now, must appreciate the tranquility. Now *fumble* where are my Linkin Park cds…

~Peace~

Phone Firmware upgrade

Watched “Finding Nemo” today at GV marina with my NS friends and our happy ORDing Platoon Sgt. Went to Breeks buffet dinner thereafter after window shopping around the marina-suntec area. Finding Nemo turned out nicer than I expected it to be, and I can say its quite worth every of my $6.50 spent, and yea I kinda like the sea turtle character dude.. 150 years old? no problem!

On some updates I’ve missed- Upgraded my phone’s firmware yesterday, had lunch with my mum at Wisma Jacks place and brought a not-very-new game ‘Freedom Force’ at PK computers Hereen while my phone’s off for 3 hours at the Orchard serivce center. And guess what? they’ve upgraded my SL45 to the SL45i firmware. Coupled with the 128MB TwinMOS card I’ve brought previously, now I can virtually save and run tons of any Java game or application I get my hands on. Not to mention the ablity to store load more songs for my listening pleasure. Didn’t know my phone is so expandable. Lolz!

Mmm its time I updated the downloads page too, its really freakin old, bout 3 years old as a matter of fact! will be working on that tml. Stay tuned!

Phone Modification

BMT has ended, so its more shopping, shopping, outings and it again… Watched Bruce Almighty on friday afternoon with my NS friends @ GV marina, then went to the PCshow 2003 in the evening. There is nothing new in this year’s PCshow, always the same old booths and companys, maybe the only new intro is dell computers setting up a booth for the first time in an exhtibition. After that met my mum at orchard for somemore shopping and dinner. And off, off to simlim yesterday, one of my favorite Simlim bargain stores, G2 is closing down, went there yesterday and they are franticially trying to clear stocks. On a brighter note, hey! I am completed with my mod mod, now with a newly added 3.5mm audio plug the connections would be endless anywhere on any device all for a cost of $2. Furthermore with a new TwinMOS 128MB MMC/SD card upgrade for my phone, more MP3s on the move here I go!

For more mods on the phone check out this mods page.

New Camera

0

Dropped by Orchard today… again! this time quite late after dinner to purchase a new Nikon 35mm film camera, all in time for next week’s Passing Out Parade (POP). My older Canon camera had been giving problems with night shots and blurry pictures, and yea.. its time I’ve got a new film camera though, enough of digital ones for the time being too!

After making my purchase at Plaza Singapura, Best Denki (They had a good bundle too, the Litetouch 110SQD with a free tripod and Nikon dry camera storage box all for $218), I cannot imagine the amount of renovation works going on there now- though Liberty supermarket had been closed sometime early this year, yet the basement is still undergoing major works, so are the 3rd and 4th floors. Hereen had already given me so much renovation blues, now its PS’s turn.. grrr! On a lighter note, there are some new stores around, & though its around closing time.. yea, many are sadly of course, closed. Kopitiam food court had also undergone a recent facelift.. good though I like the new bright & cleaner look, better than the previous “dark adventure land theming”

Oh well, I guess thats all for now, heard from one of my NS friends (aka 2nd T-shirt IC) that the platoon T-shirt would be out tomorrow.. whee.. my design’s on it!..Moreover, will be bringing in lots of tibits and food for our “happy hour” this week, courtesy of our sgts… Party Time Dudes! BMT is coming to an end!

Long Weekend

Yup, I would be booking in this monday afternoon, extended weekend you may say, yea and thats good baby. Passed Ippt & Soc this week, and hey! I can safely put them behind my back now- Its all well deserved rest and relax, with 2 weeks remaining till POP (passing out parade). For those who did not pass the first test this week, dun worry, try your best in the retests to come and we will POP together in june dudes- There are no limits to your abilites!

Went to Nooch noodle bar for dinner with my family at Paragon, Orchard. Window shopped around around the area. Went to look and research on some new handphones, thinking its time I upgraded my SL45. Maybe considering an improved version of the Sony Ericsson P800 PDA phone, just hope a newer improved version comes out.. or should I wait for 3G then?

Been surfing around lately and this kinda caught my eye for a while, the Samsung’s Matrix Phone, woo neat!

“This is a CDMA phone and comes with a pop-up earpiece that snaps open at an instant. A button located on the side of the phone releases the spring-loaded earpiece when pressed…”

It runs on a CDMA network, so don’t expect it to be used here in Singapore. Also, when you come to think of it, yea… you can call it a souped up nokia 8910i with an overloaded Matrix theme… oh well, check out more here.

Maxtrix Reloaded

0

Went to Le Meradian, Orchard to play Counter-Strike with my NS friends, it had been sometime since I’ve played at a lan shop too. Long before then, the impression of lan shop computers are, wow! this comp kicks ass! But now, haha no more envy- my home comp rules now! Lol! Went to monster pool for some rounds of pool before heading to heeren to get “Busted CD” at HMV, wanted to get a new dance CD, but just can’t decide on one, may be considering WKRZ Dance mix Vol2 or The Best of Ministry of Sound CDs in the near future. As I carried on my shopping spree, I was quite disappointed they are renovating the 4 floors of heeren and PK computers is closed because of that, hope they will return after the renovations….

Took a short bus trip to Greatworld Food Junction to meet the rest of my friends for dinner, had my usual chicken chop rice.. ($4.30), my fav after the japanese food store. hehe. As usual before the movies, we all take the trouble of getting lots of excess food into the cinema (3 Matrix popcon Combo sets plus an upsized McChicken meal, two large fries, lots of curry, BBQ and mayo sauce and 6 drinks all to feed all 15+ of us) all done professional style! The cinema is packed to the max but luckily we got “relatively good seats” esp on a sat evening peak period. The Matrix Reloaded is much better than the first series in terms of action and takes on from the last series, allowing us to know more about it. However, as usual we eagled eyed people can recognize computer generated scenes everywhere, quite fake you can say. The movie ended with a matrix revolution preview at the end, oh well thats december madness to come…

On Camp stuffs, BMT is almost completed officially, as I’ve already passed the 3 main objectives in the syllabus (Ippt, fieldcraft and markmanship), the only thing left is to pass the SOC (standard obstacle course), pass the final Ippt test and go thru the SIT test (Situational test) which would be a 3day, 2night “holiday” outfield, aimed primarily is gauging one’s leadership ablities and stuffs. My BMT batch will be graduating on the first week on June and whew! time really flies, before you know it, BMT is over. Oh well, will be looking forward to it too, one hurdle completed. All that matters now is that after the SIT test, things will be very much easiler and relaxed in the weeks to come.. Yea!

Saturday

Woke up this morning at around 6am to preapare for the visit OCS (Officer cadet school) and Singapore Discovery Center (SDC) tour, though its complusory and the facilites are kinda nice (ocs is almost like a holiday resort) its really boring and we kinda spent most of our time at the SDC cafe muching away hotdogs, drinks and icecream. One of my friends brought his Nokia 7250 phone and its really cool with the built-in camera, its completely hidden and you won’t notice anyone taking pictures, the only drawback? No flash and manual zoom is needed!

Will be meeting my friends later again at around cuppage area for some LAN Gaming, followed by the movie Matrix Reloaded in the evening at GV grand.
