u guys will never guess wad theme song she's singing...

.

this is soo deathcab for cutie~
im such a sucker for the sweet sounding ones :)

a sunday in Feburary~

sometimes i can't believe wad an amazingly awesome vocation im in.... theres so many up & coming events involving our unit and the RSAF itself. its like havin a house on the beach, or workin in a chocolate factory :)

i had fun the other day at the AMS cohesion, not to mention the ultimate LEFT 4 DEAD session Shawn, Me & Tommy had after that.... although i must say, the weather these days are insanely calescent, almost cancerous, if u will....

my mother n sister left for Thailand two days ago...
i've never felt more at ease~
every morning i wake up feeling so liberated from them, it feels great~ having the freedom to do as i please n provide for my own needs, its rather up lifting, i do so thoroughly enjoy it :) not that i dont miss them cause i do...
but until they come back, im gonna enjoy every moment of their absence while i still can~

i've caught a number of movies in the past few weeks... just yesterday i saw "He's just not that into you" with Cassy. And last week, "Slumdog Millionaire" with Rick. Both of which were remarkable. so, i decided to list my very own personal top 10 movies, just for fun...

and here they are, by order of release:

1. The Breakfast Club (1985)
2. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
3. Before Sunrise (1995) / Before Sunset(2004)
4. The Sixth Sense (1999)
5. Unbreakable (2000)
6. Gladiator (2000)
7. The Last Samurai (2003)
8. Collateral (2004)
9. The Lake House (2006)
10.The Departed (2006)

i left out Dark Knight & Transformers since they'd be obvious choices on anyone's Top 10 list. Yes, there are two M. Night Shyamalan films there... and for the record, my favourite Secret Agent is Jason Bourne NOT James Bond, be it the new aged Danial Craig films or the old ones...

he had way to many gizmos to begin with anyway~

in other affairs, a recent indepth conversation with the best friend at her place whilst lazing on her bed, stroking her lavished Persian Cat, gave me a sort of morbid hope that things would get better, that everything would eventually work itself out n the bigger picture would soon reveal its intentions to us...

i've never been one to believe in hope... but i believe in dreams and in some paradox, their both one in the same~

so i end of this post giving cheers to the everlasting friendships i've made and/or rekindled in these past few months... may they last till the age of my children & theirs to come...


Au revoir~

never too late for cny pictures~

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865)
Born: Hardin County, Kentucky
Died: Washington, D.C.

He was the 16th president of the United States & served 4 years in office before he was shot by John Wilkes Booth in 1865, becoming the 1st president to have ever been assassinated.

During his term, he managed successfully lead the country through the Civil Wars and put an end to slavery.

Lincoln has been considered a martyr for the ideal of national unity and human rights. Now his face is on 5 dollar bill of the U.S. currency, and had the Lincoln Memorial built in his honor~

"Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it."

John F. Kennedy (May 29, 1917 – November 22, 1963)
Born: Brookline, Massachusetts
Died: Dallas, Texas at the age of 46

born John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy, he was the 35th President of the United States, serving for 2 years before his assassination in 1963. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime but was murdered a mere two days later by Jack Ruby before he could even be put on trial.

Some officials speculate a possibility of a conspiracy, but wadever it may be, the event proved to be an important moment in U.S. history because of its impact on the nation and the ensuing political repercussions.

During that time of shaky ties with foreign countries, JFK managed to construct many Foreign Policies that proved effective in some way to promote bilateral ties between countries like Russia & Veitnam.

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Barack Obama (August 4, 1961 - the ends of time)
Born: Honolulu, Hawaii
Married to: Michelle Obama

the 44th and current President of the United States. He's also the first African American president to be elected. Having been inaugurated recently on January 20, 2009, he ran an extraordinary campaign that emphasized on ending the Iraq War and providing universal health care to americans.

He promised "change" to the American public and displayed his ability to lead during the economic crisis of '08.

Many people are counting on him to solve many of the catastrophes that we are facing today. We trust that Yes, he can...

"There's not a liberal America and a conservative America. There's the United States of America. "

Phua Chu Kang aka. Kang kang
(September 25, 1997 – February 11, 2007 )
Occupation: CEO of PCK Pte Ltd

he was the poster boy for Singapore's Singlish speaking dialog, having kids going round saying "don't pray pray" thinkin its cool to sound like a fool.

first airing in 1996, he made multiple cameos in many local sitcoms and even appeared in an episode of The Amazing Race which have left many Singaporeans ridiculed under the eyes of foreigners watching from abroad..

in the 2003 SARs pandemic, he appeared in a 4min long music video called "The Sar-vivor Rap", again, putting us in an awkward position in the eyes of our neighbouring countries.

After 8 seasons and 167 episodes, the last season of the show was aired on October 31, 2006. But even after that, they managed to produce a Musical simply titled, "Phua Chu Kang - the Musical" which was a box office disaster n may have proved to be the death knell to any future Singaporean musical productions, proving he's neither any good in Singapore, Jorhor Baru or Batam for that matter...

this is who we have...
this is who we have to show for...
when great leaders and public figures of the world are called forth from every country all over the world to give hope and purpose in our dire times...
this is who will be choosen~

thus, causing me be bleed out from cardiac arrest having stabbed myself in the chest from the sheer embarrassment...


"Use ur blane"

i implore u....

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...

.

he's no longer scared of the dentist, but he's terrified of the like, meaninglessness of life and stuff...

i never knew christian bale was such a hot head either... almost 3 mins of him screamin at some lighting guy? come on man, u were Bruce freakin Wayne... have some restraint man...

fuck it, he and i are done professionally~

starship trooper~

shawn and i found a frog today and sweeped it across the drain down into the canyons where it probably drowned or something in the milky waters of the canals right outside the base...

later in the day we murdered a snail with a rock and sacrificed 2 millipedes to the rain god... & it worked too, for a brief moment tat is, but onli a slight drizzle so training didn't cease.

a few of us explored the nearby area and found acouple of metal rods and a rusty hammer and started going round poking n prodding the bushes for snakes n insects alike... each time we found a cricket or an ants nest, we'd all start pounding & pelting it with sticks n rocks, taking our bottles n pouring water all over them... if all else failed, i'd come in with my "Hammer of Doom" n deal the killin blow~

that wasnt it, by the end of the day we caught n captured 4 big (not to mention hairy) ass spiders and contained them in a broken bottle we found at the scene then fed them to the fishes in the pond. None of the fishes actually ate them so we just drowned them instead..

it was cruel wad we did but damn i had so much fun... i would categorize this as "stupid stuff boys would do when bored and near vast vegetation". on normal curcumstances u'd never find us doing such blaten acts of animal cruelty. we're nice people after all~

i had a super amusing day today...
one of bug-killin n toad-drowning.....






don't judge me~
