up up & away~

yesterday was, i think, the 5th anniversary of the Airfield Maintenance Squadron. They held this cohesion day thing at Marina Square. everyone from all the various units came down, the head hunchos of all the 4 bases gave some speeches then we all went to play bowling and free video games at the arcade & bowling alley outside the cinema for like 2 hrs before headin to the buffet line..

having the entire arcade's games available to u for free is like, i would think, every 5 yr old kid's dream... u can just, start a game, fool around with it for a bit then just move over to the other one n not even give a shit if ur loosing or wadever... n u can never loose, just keep pressin the start button whenever the countdown timer to continue flashes on the screen... i don't even know how to explain the coolness of this situation~

this was probably the 6th or so event we've been to since we got posted to the Air Force... its a pretty good life over here, tats for sure~ the Major made it a point to have at least one get-together of all the squads every 2 mths.... talk about welfare ey? :)

after a prize givin ceremony and a couple more speeches, we watched Underworld: Rise of the Lycans and ate popcorn (both of which fully paid for of course) before callin it a day.

a couple of us cabbed over to Tommy's place to play some Mahjong and, if there was time to spare, perhaps a little Left4dead.... after all, the following day was a friday and it wasn't an Off day which, i thought kinda reframed us from havin too much fun...

it never ceases to amaze me how much i always seem to learn more bout the chinese culture... i've rarely hang out with cheena ppl, i hate it when they'd speak amongst themselves n i'd feel a lil lost, but they're cool ppl & i think i've picked up alot of the language along the way~

i had a great time, it was simple yet fun... i really enjoyed myself~
its simple things like havin a picnic at the beach or chillin at a friend's place tat conversations can be really engaging...

this morning was just dreadful to wake up to... but alas, today was RSAF Safety day, so there wasnt much to be done, which ment more time for hunting n gathering or shootin each other up in "Medal of Honor" on our PSPs...

we decided to use the free time to set up the fish tank we've been meaning to have in our room. the previous frog drowning/toad baseball matches have made certain discoveries... like how certain tree toads can bloat up to the size of a ping pong ball and become bouncy when threatened, and that there were a bunch of tiny baby guppies in the koi pond right outside just waiting to be caught.

Rajan & Winson lead the fishing expedition. Armed with net n' pail, they headed out n caught about 50 of the lil gups... we washed some rocks and harvested some of the pond's aquatic plants and viola, a habitat fit for Nemo himself~

it looked really great~
everyone was in awe of it :)

i dunno how we can still keep ourselves entertained like this everyday with our AVS escapades n not get in trouble...

we got released early today. got home at about 5-ish in the afternoon... pretty much just chilled at home watchin videos on youtube n stuff...

i found this video thats super funny...
