start of GST hike and many others.

end of my second ict, disastrous news that I have to attend RT. bah. Went to sakura restaurant and ate buffet, until I was so bloated tt I hiccupped and was nauseous… I’m getting used to it I guess, always like that when I have buffet. Gotta think of a way to solve it… sian. Endless coughing rendered me a super big sore throat and hoarse voice. So if you call me on the phone, it’s me… not wrong number… Sorry for the confusion.

Still having ict. Just booked out today. Going back in camp tomorrow. Been eating sand all week as my landrover is behind the tanks…. which kicks up a blardy hell cloud of sand. I’ll be better prepared for it next week…. having 3 days 2 night holiday camp out in the fields, amongst the trees and sand. WHO SAY SG GOT NO SAND. blast. And…. mortar is f***** loud. ear plugs + mufflers are the best~ and helmet.

Applied for exit permit in view of my long absence from this “beloved” soil…. REJECTED!! blast… I hate. and I hate. and…………. I really really hate. Yawns. Tired. Going down to the field (again) beside my house to listen to free concert (aka 歌台). HAHAHA Pan mei chen ROCKS. those nice songs…..

feeling a bit bo liao today. Meeting xiongwei, peiru and verlyn to eat at the lousy aji-tei (don’t go there and eat. expensive, not that nice). Xiongwei, pang seh me, say wanna come out and walk walk but in the end cancelled. So, alone, I went to buy this sunglasses. Wore it and walked down the whole orchard…. on a somewhat rainy day is damn cock. HAHAHA but nevermind, I felt great. And somewhat I can understand why the malays wear it….

and the annual medic refresher course consequence:

….. BLAST. it was much worse yesterday.

I was watching a video about building a great pyramid structure on Tokyo Bay. In the video, Luxor Hotel was mentioned. The glittering reflection of glass panels really caught my eye. It’s like a very huge glass pyramid.

Reading up on the Design part in wikipedia (my dearest friend :D), the spotlight is darn strong.

The tip of the pyramid contains a fixed-position spotlight that points directly upward – it is the brightest beam in the world, and is visible from anywhere in the Las Vegas valley at night, and can be seen at flight level from above Los Angeles, California, over 275 miles (440 km) away.^{[citation needed]} The beam can also be seen from outer space. At ground level, on clear nights, the beam could also be seen as far south as Laughlin and even as far north as Mesquite or Beatty. It is directly straight ahead on US-93 in Arizona, north of Kingman, before reaching the Hoover Dam. In the spring, the bright light attracts huge numbers of moths into the light beam, creating a phenomenon that has been likened to snow. The beam is currently powered by 39 Xenon lamps operating at 7 kilowatts each at an hourly operating cost of $53 (lamps, repairs, and electricity costs). The beam’s output is rated at 41.5 gigacandela. This translates to 30.2 billion lumens.

I wore contact lens for the first time today. All for the sake of wearing sunglasses. bleh. Expensive and feeling super weird now. Me without specs is definitely uglier without doubt…. but with sunglasses… I look much much better. HAHAHAHA. Oh well… still adjusting to the foreign thing in my eyes.

week twenty two

crashed another sem. Urgh. Unexpected as …. I’ve definitely studied more than last sem. Probably not hard enough. Oh well…

Microsoft Live writer has a BETA 2… for some niggling problem, I just can’t seem to blog with my wordpress on the previous version or this new beta version. Happened, suddenly. Had to be some problem with the server settings not with this program. One good thing about this new version is spell check on the fly. Something that they should have right from the start. nothing special. The transparency on the splash screen is nice too.

Too sad over my results. Trying to numb myself with the videos on my hdd.
