Okie, Im still feeling bad.

In fact, it was such a hectic day yesterday that i didnt manage to finish half of what i intended to do. Of course, it didnt help that on my way to my pantry to get a coffee, i got addicted to watching some lousy stunt show that was showing on TV... And i wasted 1 hour sitting there, no less. =(

Anyway, Im here to bitch about the upcoming ERP increase. I have 1st hand info on the proposed 2010 plan by our singapore govt to regulate traffic in Singapore. As we already know, COE is generating lesser income for our Govt so there has to be a new way to supplement the ever expanding expenditure...

Behold.... ERP 2010 Vision..


Hmmm... We are in so much trouble. =(

Ok guys, this is a sad post.

So if u are sad, pls dun read on...

1) I have come to realise that my relatives and i are not exactly on the best possible terms. On a typical year (i.e, past few years), i will meet them about ONE time ayear. On chinese new year. This is bad becoz we are all suppose to be one big happy family. But of course, events over the past decade has taken its toll and i dun even see some of my cousins anymore.

So it was nice when i saw my relatives for approximately 5 times over the past week. In fact, this is equivalent to 5 years of CNY meetups.

Until u realise that its becoz one of my auntie passed away early last week...

2) My fav blogger is sad. In fact, he wrote on his blog the following...

'It’s better to be late than never, but when you’re late, things may be too late to change.'

This basically means that i dun really have funny entries to read... =(

3) Im still overwhelm with work that requires my attention. =(

Im leading a sad miserable life..

Dear all,

I have offically gone back to work as of yesterday..

However, i was reminded immediately why i needed a long break away from my workplace. In fact, even though i was wearing my jacket, i kinda got aquainted with the flu bug by the end of the work day... =(

Not to mention that i found close to 400 new mails, about half of them needing my immediate attention. N the other 1/3 required my immediate attention 2 weeks back.. hahaha..

N oh yes, i found out from my mails that my boss wasnt exactly happy with some of the stuff i did before i left and has liaise directly with my engineers.. This definately makes me look bad. =(
Oh well, suspect i might get sack soon...
.

AND THATS GOOD NEWS... hahahaha....

Oh well, lets try to glorify myself abit.

I was trying to catch up with local news the other day and i stumble upon this article on PSLE maths qns. It went on and on about how difficult the qns were and how an ex-teacher took 11 mins to solve just 3 qns...


Well...i have news...

Being very jet lag and definately alert at 3am in the morning.. I tried doing the qns. I took a grand total of 5 mins and 13 secs.

I always knew i had a higher calling.. Im so going to screw my boss later...

Dear all,

Being the very 'jet-lag' me... i was up surfng net at 3am just now.
Being the very 'jet-lag' me... i comtemplated to download more read more reviews of all upcoming movies so that i can make an informed choice when i pay for my $9.50 ticket to watch at local overpriced cinemas.

But i stumbled upon something called the 'Moon sign' while surfing.

We all know our 'Sun sign' which is typically your Virgo, Capricon, Cancer... and these are actually tied to your birthdates.

Well, apparently, there is a 'Moon sign' too. This is so as the moon also moves in accordance to earth and instead of about 30 days before each change, the 'Moon sign' changes every few days. And it is from your moon sign that your personality is built upon.

So i decided to get my 'Moon sign'..
On my birthdate, the moon was in SAGITTARIUS

You absolutely love the great outdoors! You love the feeling of freedom that it gives you. People see you as a person who is active, fond of travel & sports, and quite jovial (derived from Jove or Jupiter, the ruling planet of Sagittarius!). However, when you are not outside you may appear to be restless, both physically and mentally. You tend to act first, and think later. This is most apparent, and harmful, in conversation. You say whatever is on your mind, simply and bluntly. You are not suited for diplomatic relations. As far as your occupation is concerned, you may be apt to changing it, or have more than one vocation. Overall you are good-natured, kind, and honest. You are very perceptive of others emotions. And if someone is hurt, you take it personally. You may have a short temper, but you are quick to forgive, and you never (well rarely,) hold a grudge. You are a good teacher because of your perspective on life. You can see the possible outcome of events long before they occur (your favorite phrase: 'I told you so!'). Your intuition is strong, and often your dreams come true. This might indicate a psychic influence (but don't count on it!). You can't stay in one place for too long. You like to move!

After reading it, i just went...uh-ha. This is all a fake.. Until i realise that complications arises when there was a moon change on the day of my birthdate. So technically, i could have been a Virgo in SAGITTARIUS or a Virgo in SCORPIO. I wouldnt know becoz this would depend on the timing of my birth and the timing of the 'Moon change'. =(

And so i read the section of Virgo in SCORPIO..

You may feel as though no one understands you. You are a fighter by nature, and are hot tempered. You stand alone in your battles. You fight with assurance and confidence in yourself. Sadly though, you often bring out in yourself, the same thing you are fighting against. You are full of energy, and express yourself rather bluntly. While you may say that you are all right with change, inside it is a different story. You are actually quite conservative, and resist change, especially if other people force it upon you. When you do change your mind on an idea, you stand fully behind it, and help implement the change. Scorpio is in reality, one of the most misunderstood of all the Signs. You are inclined to act out of irritation or anger. You like to get revenge. Observers might think that you lack a strong moral code, or that you drink too much. In reality you have strong will power and determination, but also a strong love for pleasure. You are quite familiar with the subject of pleasure. You have a strong attraction to the opposite sex, and vice versa. This will cause you great trouble throughout your lifetime (more than one marriage is a strong possibility!). The Moon in this Sign is also related to death. Your occupation is probably related to death (you may be a policeman, fireman, soldier, etc.)

N i went speechless reading that...

And thats all i have to say about that...

Regards
Forrest, very misunderstood.

On the flipside, my coursemates has been pestering me to peel the mag out its plastic cover to read it last evening..

U know what...
Its kinda strange but my dearest coursemates are determining the time i wake up each day..

WHY??

They would set the alarm each nite, hoping to wake up early the next morning so that we can all get to school early. However, each morning without fail....i would be the one who wakes up and turn the alarm off... while both of them continue dozing..

Not that i mind, i dun need to wait on the toilet...but.... it just feels strange how they can sleep through the alarm.

Oh well...

More later. Need to focus now, my other turkish coursemate is obviously late. How can they take all these lightly...

Okie, this is official.

I cant fly to save my life... I belong to the backseat and i enjoy being ferry around. In fact, i enjoy being ferry around in a fighter jet and those B777-300ER... AND NOT THOSE SMALL PUNY PLANES WHICH GETS SWAYED BY STRONG WINDS.

The past week has been traumatizing. I wake up each day wishing that the wind would be too strong so that i dun need to go flying...Not that i will get air sick.. but becoz the rides are really frightening.

Imagine being thrown about in the back seat.. and the plane dipping without any notice. Its really tough.... especially for someone who likes his feet firmly on the ground..

All these while, being the only non-aircrew in the group, i had to gather data and try to figure out stuff... KNN... its really no fun..

Oh well, im done with flying.. In fact, i flew today. Hhaha... in a beechcraft.. Built in 1946, no less. It was nice...but half the time, im just following instructions...and thats not very nice. What if my instructor die on me? HAhaha....


Super shag plane rite? Hahaha...wait till u see the inside...
Oh well...



Thanks for the experience...i think i'll go stick to my jumbo jets and my occasional joy rides... Hahaha... Time to pack my bags..



Bye bye flying....Hello, pen pusher!

This song is long overdue... I've been humming it for quite awhile.

Jessie Lyrics
Artist(Band):Joshua Kadison

From a phone booth in Vegas, Jessie calls at 5 A.M.
to tell me how she's tired of all of them.
She says, "Baby, I've been thinking 'bout a trailer by the sea.
We could go to Mexico... you, the cat and me.
We'll drink tequila and look for sea shells.
Now, doesn't that sound sweet?
"Oh, Jessie,
you always do this every time I get back on my feet.

Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.

Oh, Jessie,
you can always sell any dream to me.
She asks me how the cat's been.
I say, "Moses he's just fine
but he used to think about you all the time.
We finally took your pictures down off the wall.

Oh, Jessie,
how do you always seem to know just when to call?
"She says, "Get your stuff together.
Bring Moses and drive real fast."
And I listen to her promise,
"I swear to God this time it's gonna last.

"Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.

I'll love you in the sunshine, lay you down in the warm white sand.
And who knows, maybe this time
things'll turn out just the way you planned.

Jessie paint your pictures 'bout how it's gonna be.
By now I should know better, your dreams are never free.
But tell me all about our little trailer by the sea;
Jessie you can always sell any dream to me.
Oh, Jessie, you can always sell any dream to me.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jessie, paint a pic...about how its going to be...

Dear all,

Pls help me.. pls pls pls...

After the recent escapade to Las Vegas, i've officially spiral into financial abyss..



The start of my worries and trouble..
During my stay in Vegas,

1) i lost a fortune

2) got addicted to shopping

3) got married (dun ask... my stupid coursemate wanted an excuse to ask for directions to strip club, so on a pretext thats its my bachalor party...)


Sapphire...Gentleman club. More like Horny Club.. sheese...


Hold on to your pants... hahaha....
So i thought that by coming back to LA, i would be saving myself from a whole lot of trouble..
BUT NO...

I had to have a 200 USD Jap dinner...

Well, actually, it was intentional. I was kinda pissed that they keep wanting me to find a place for good dinner...sooo i search the net and got myself a really expensive place..


Nice sushi restaurant in LA... suppose to be quite famous..
When they got to see the menu, they actually suggested that maybe we should just eat abit and move on to some other place to eat something more filling... BUT...obviously, i didnt want. ahahaha...

Soo i insisted on having a full fledge dinner there... i was lazy also..


My tofu steak... Super nice. HAhaha....


Sushi...Lots of sushi.. I think this place at least cost 80 dollars.. USD.

Joseph had lobster.... 50 USD. Omg. From him after the dinner, the lobster meat was abit overcooked. =(

Chris had some steak... The funny thing about this restaurant is that they didnt gave him fork and spoon but just chopsticks...

STEAK with chopsticks?

U go figure how funny he looks trying to eat steak with chopstick.. hahaha....

No Steak...No lobster... No more fish...so i stick to chicken. hahah... Chicken breast..
The bill at the end of the meal... i dun think i need to explain. Well, my dearest coursemate obviously was more than willing to pay the sum since they were treated to eye candy during the meal. There was this waitress with really huge silicon breasts... Omg.. and she was in this mini skirt... Oh well, welcome to the 'Thoughts of horny men'..
Following the extremely expensive japanese dinner, (i can get that for 1/2 the price in singapore), we decided to try our luck with TIM SUM the next day...
Frankly, it wasnt bad... until the waiter con us into this crab meat porridge...
We obviously didnt know that by crab meat porridge, he meant the whole crab...

My coursemates were obviously stun by the sheer size of the crab. Note that this is just the crab. The huge bowl of porridge is not in the pic...

Okie, we (read:I) managed to finish most of the crab.. i really really ate alot..
hahah...And thats why im so unfit now... Marathon is in 6 weeks... Oh well, i'll worry about it when i go back singapore...

On the bright side, what did we do to burn off the really heavy meals??? We went shopping... again.
So after all these indulgence... im kinda short of cash now.....but the straw that broke the camel's back was.....


A speeding ticket.




U know what....while the car was speeding down the freeway... Urs truely was sleeping soundly in the backseat and im expected to pay 1/3 of this speeding ticket... KNN... =(
Im not very sure why im suppose to pay... Hmm....
Oh well....just my luck..
If anyone read this.... pls wire me some money..so that i can catch a cab to airport to catch my plane back to singapore.
Im feeling really broke.

I was reading through my blog when i realise that i've been blogging about all my jollies and nothing about what im really here for.

In fact, i have a frend who thinks that im here for the F15 prog. Omg.. I'll most prob never wanna be a aircrew. Why? I like my feet firmly on the ground. Hahaha...

Nevertheless, heres some photos about what im really here for. Bear with me, this is serious stuff..


Yes, i travelled 10000 miles to come to this small town desert, Mojave to meet the 3763 souls that live here. U have to wonder how long ago was this signboard updated. In fact, ever wonder when this signboard was updated..
Why the hell would they want to know the population?
SOmeone enlighten me...pls..


Tada... Mojave Spaceport. Hahah.. im training to be a astronaut. Well... Malaysia has already sent their first astronaut up to space...its Singapore's turn...


Tada... My school. Not very impressive, if u ask me. I was expecting a 70 storey building with top of the line security. Sadly, i've been attending class for the past 2 weeks without my pass...



I wish, i was flying these aircraft...or rather, i was going for rides in these aircrafts... but NO...
My puny plane. Hahaha... the very same ones that is used by recreation pilots.. Wish it was something else... i can only wish.
Sigh...
OKie, more later. Need to get back to watching wrestling... They have it on TV here in USA. Prime time no less... i guess, they have more matured audience here...
