June 2009


There are 15 people in my office. My warrant officer must like me very much.

1. Thailand.

2. SAF day parade.

WHY!?!?!?!

On a lighter note, nice to see soldiers taking orders literally.

And so passes the Elvis of my generation. He was the greatest star there was. Who else could sing, dance, moonwalk, and change skin colour like him? The man was in the spotlight for 4 decades, and it’s sad that this incredible endurance wasn’t enough to last him his last 50 shows. I was rooting for a comeback of massive proportions, something like seeing GNR all together on stage again. But well, some things just aren’t meant to be.

RIP Michael Jackson.

11 June 2009- I passed driving! Biggest problem stemmed from being way too used to the army, as I asked for permission to change direction, and asked for permission to turn off the car engine at the end. Apparently that makes me indecisive. Thanks be to God, without whom I most certainly would have hit the vertical parking pole, which somehow does not like me very much.

I’m doing AC reasonably proud in the daily CS/Dota sessions. Think army improved my shooting with the carbine. I can almost hear LTA Jeffery shouting at me whenever I spray by accident.

The step-over is utilized to great effect in ballroom dancing. It is considered an essential move to learn. Maybe Ronaldo went for dancing lessons before picking up football? That’d explain the pink shorts, the theatrics, and yea, the step-overs!

Speaking of Ronaldo, I think we would have a decent summer if the 80 million quid is spent on Benzema, Ribery, and David Silva (optional). Of course, his transfer to Real could get screwed if he fails his medical. Then we could keep Ronaldo and let him rot in the reserves. Haha.

Leaving for Tokyo tomorrow night and I have no idea what to bring. Clothes, shoes, underwear, socks, a jacket, toiletries, books, ipod, phone (?), camera, chargers… am I missing something here?
