an afternoon @ amoy quee

.. was asked to go 2SIR for a briefing related to upcoming trip to Indonesia.
The target audience was supposedly for officers level.. not sure why I'm called upon; to go in place of my CSM perhaps ..?

"you are ambassadors of the SAF"

..that was part of the opening address by some guy up there, then we touched on topics like the history of indo and geographical location of our camp site, the Indonesian army, the safety measures, disciplines and morale of your men, showing respect and courtesy to the hosts, and finally the preventions of cauliflowers sprouting off my dick.

What actually raised my concerns were the abundancy of Mosquitos ( my main concern in fact !) and their believes in Supernatural witchcrafts. And there's also corruptions..

Judging from the past experiences outfield, I'v realised how much of an attraction I pose to these buzzing suckers ,I'v got ~20 bites in one day god dammit ! .. extra protection needed then -- soaking uniform in permethrins, SAF insect repellent every 6 hrs, and mosquito coil. As for the supernaturals, well I'll just have to see my heng/suay ; maybe bring my fu along.

Final confirmation then..
06/09/2006
0500hrs - leaving camp,
0900hrs - taking off in a fokker-50 @ Changi Air Base

..and I initially thought I could board SIA. sigh*

Leaving on a Jet Plane



Sorry I arrived late last night
but what the heck, you told us not to come
..but we still did.

Thanks for the late night company
and putting ur roof over us
without you there'd be no Quek

All the best mate, looking forward to Christmas

***

On a second note,
I'm flyin off on the 5th Sep to Indonesia
Wong's going Sydney for holidays, same time around then
Bon voyage to all ~!

***



Completed with a lousy timing.
..and I won't give any excuses
There's always another day to fight

Survival of the fittest



Tomorrow's the big day ..
For fuck am I doing this ? Just who am I proving to ?
questions that even I myself could not answer..

Yet the thought of crossing the finishing line simply lingers.

Vodka Martini

a seductive perfect martini

I'm getting very tempermental these days.
I get annoyed and irritated easily.
Just a day ago I was shouting across the phone to the agent.
And I don't feel sorry at all, So what u'v got like 99+ years of seniority.
As for my mum.. I admit my irrationality. I apologise


Botak tried to explain how gettin mad at an old folk is pointless -
"You get angry cos u care and bother about the other party's feelings; For someone who is of no relation to you, why bother?"

Perhaps its a my flu and a buildup of challenges to come ..
The soon to be departure of an old pal
The long distance run
The incompetent old man
The trip to Solo, Indonesia
The big questions relating to my future..

Optimism huh?.. I should booze more like Wong

weekend rantings

I'm Sick,
Continuous stream of mucus runs off my nose
the swollen throat irritates
and the post run muscles still sores

Boredom escalates, yet the lack of company
and unfascination with things outside
deters me from getting my lazy ass out that door.

My phone bill ran close to $50..
just another reason for me to stay home.
B'cos gettin out = Spend $$$

Cars part 1 : the young executive



A good blend of style and elegance for its smooth clean lines; yet one knows this ain't no ordinary roar cruiser as evident from those wheel arches , large rims wrapped by low profile run flat tyres, and that 2 chromed tailpipes.



Notice those exquisite headlamps powered by light blue xenons shrouded by a bright yellow rim of halo. They call it angel eyes for a reason. Powered by a twin turbo inline 6 to produce 300 horses and 400Nm of turning force powering the rear wheels once you lightly tap of the accelerator.

And who says you need 4 doors and rear legroom for carrying people when all I need is that special lady by the side to fulfill the experience.
This is not an ultimate driving machine.. but an affordable , complete all rounder.

truth vs lies

I can't believe this shit.

The respective company CSMs dare say they have raised reports on bunk and facilities damages during the staff meetings , when all I received was nothing. On further clarifications with my OC - quite a sly fox himself as well, though we're on the same boat now, also revealed that no such reports were raised.

You can bluff and put up a show in front of your superiors but not stand up to your own conscience.

I wasted my half day off to shoot a letter to these hypocrites , with a cc to the logistic officer ( the one who "fucked" me earlier while bringing up this issue) . If you dare say there is such reports raised.. PROVE IT. But as they say, with every problems raised, there needs a solution.
I had to compiled a softcopy on the damage report format for ya'll . think I'm being nice ? think again.. cos if u fail to submit , I'll report your failure to comply and all that shit u said in the meetin were just wayang.

Try messing with me.

Regards
LCP James

the drive

Went lunch and I offered my services as chauffeur to drive the guys around. As I drove down the Mindef slope one of the guys (codenamed : Botak) was blabbering somethin like ..

"slow down.. the car's too fast"

"you shouldn't accelerate while turning downhill ! ..will cause the car to lose rear wheel traction and cause the whole car to understeer !"


Look man , the car's travelling at 50+ km/h and ur expecting the car to lose traction ?? and I wasn't even accelerating in the first place, besides the car was loaded with 5 ..so its the inertia dude.

Of course , with his stubborn and Mr-Know-It-All nature I couldn't out argue him. Just let it be, I didn't need a win or prove anythin. ..At least I wasn't the one who did a handbrake turn into camp and got fucked by the csm on the spot.

Seems that Botak just enjoys going against me in camp sayin stuff like I have bad hygienes, lousy english, bad driving techniques, short tempered, and sweats like a polar bear in summer. But least, he's a cool outspoken guy ..who barks a lot in camp.

Its bastards of such nature that makes the world a better, ..or should I say colorful place
