Light in ARR

Training was at Keat Hong camp on Tuesday, the officier team was training there too & our teammate PTI Richard got us up for a friendly competitive run against them. It would be about 10+teams of 5 people each for the mock 1.44km route relay. The officers started stunningly fast at the start, putting their fastest runner's...

Mid april crises? or is it?

Worked myself silly a the gym on Monday. Gassed myself with Tear Gas at the PLC gas camber on Tuesday. Went on a Bell UH-1 live helicopter joyride on Wednesday with an LTC & CPT as my pilots. Oh well, its just another week of training. I saw physical training from monday to friday too, in other...

Coaster Homework, week recaptionation!

As the day to the holiday draws closer, the excitement builds up, partly because I am some poor peep who haven't or say, didn't get the privilege to travel since he enlisted into the Army, pathetic peeps like us. Anyway, being a theme park freak, did some coaster research & hey, these are some of the "MUST...

I am 21! (birthday update)

Ahha I am 21 already. It had been a very busy week & I guess this is gonna be one of the very memorable birthdays ever, even better than my 18th birthday celebration. I always remember always being asked this question by friends many times, many years back on "what am I gonna do when I turn...

IT show 2005

Dropped by the IT show at suntec yesterday & man was it FREAKING crowded. 1st time the shopping area got so packed, there was a stationary human jam lasting 5-10mins at times around the Yes! Eyewear store area leading to the exhitbition & convention center. Link upped with John at the sony booth there where we started...

Am I crazy?

I hate to say this, but personally I find myself super addicted to exercise. Not to mention often missing the feeling of fatigue during my regimes... an adrenaline addiction? Maybe because of this, I see myself for the past 2 months running at least 9km (usually topping 12km) 3 times a week on monday, wednesday & friday...

The power of dreams

I just have to get this on my blog, its just so.. real... I had a weird dream on friday, not like your average nightmare, but something worth marvelling about. Its a about meeting this girl by the name of Sherwin or Sherene or sort. I was enrolled in Singapore Poly, DME (diploma on mechcanical engineering), a...
Site Updates

Makan Singapore!

There is a new additional section to the site, called SG happening - Makan places in Singapore. This is a soft opening of the section, which is still under construction. I am still in the mist of compiling the full food list at the moment. In the meantime, if you have any good places to recommend around...

Die comment spammers!

Add a niffy new plug-in to the blog today, namely an additonal field which requires people to enter a security code (from a randomly generated graphic) in order to successfully post a comment. Something any average net surfer can do, but not spam-bots. Though I personally hate filling out such unnecessary code-like-thingys even before I could get...

Singnet boardband 256kps unlimited is now 512kps?

Hey if you are a previous singnet boardband 256kps user, you may notice download speeds going up to 50-60KB/s from 20-30KB/s. Possibly a typical computer reporting error? I don't think so, especially with my downloads getting relatively faster. Not to mention surfing speeds. Strangely though this is not reflected to the public or so, as singtel always...

Gleeming license plate?

Found this interesting product on while surfing one day. This is definitely not legal, especially in the Singapore context where everything including the very cars we drive are all restricted in terms of upgrades, modifications & so. Not only a stock car city but a "fine" city as well. Not to mention is heavy contributions from us citizens...

Hot hot hot

On the weatherwatch, yes it had been a very hot period in Singapore this month, not to mention the number of bushfires around to keep our friendly firefighters & tax expenditure busy for the time being. I used to hate the effects of el nino, though I am not sure of its part & its eminent effects...

pleasure pressure?

Reading from today's Straits Times main, an article in the kaleidoscope. A particular interesting quote made by Mr Md Islam (a foreign worker from bangladesh working here) saying. "In my country, people read or travel for pleasure. Here, it seems, we all work for pleasure." Personally I think its bad. & I guess you don't need Steven...

In memory of Uncle Loke

Its a dark & gloomy night & when we least expected it, a phone call came around 9pm informing dad that Uncle Loke was warded in coma at Chanji hospital due to a fall at the chinese swimming club- where he was spending the sunday night. Dad rushed to the hospital immediately thereafter. Another call came from...
