Gift to SAF
Found it at BCF in Perth, probably normal outdoor camping accessory. 120 hours, 5 days. What a shocker.
For those who have had the privilege of using mozzy coils in their NSF days, the value packs from NTUC were such a time waster.
Idea for the next WITS or whatever that suggestion program thingy is called, all CQ should stockpile this.

tiny island
Sometimes I wonder when I feel depressed, alone & isolated
Is it all self inflicted, or am I just destined to suffer
The quick-fix diagnosis would be that I am in denial
that I am unable to admit my own shortcomings
that I have deeply unresolved issues
Seems to be the case most of the time
judging from all the too real for TV examples
Oprah's showing it to you, Dr P is psycho-analyzing it too
And I do hope it is
that somehow I am lacking in something
some absent trait that I can blame it on
Maybe I am not positive enough
or I am too emotional
perhaps even just plain juvenile
I am well aware of its' presence
that of which I have built over the years
of which I hope would be my castle
The bricks seem so hard
the water in the moat so cold
yet it is not what I desire
All is sufficient within the walls
but still tempted to peer beyond
looking for possibilities
The chance to lower it
for those who desire to understand
to explore within

I don't know
nothing but silence.
so still & serene.
not a beat, not a breath.
feels normal, or just want it to.
something inside says its not.
what would you do?
Kena b4?? The worse I've ever experienced was trying to change my mobile phone plan. But they still stayed within limits.

juz another day
Left work earlier today for my medical checkup. Din work less, just that worked an extra hour yesterday.
-Failed the urine test. Is that possible? What the heck. They say got traces of blood in the sample... Tell me to drink more water, and do a re-test when I'm back for my 2nd appt. Shit.. or shd I say piss.. ha ha ha.....
-From an Australian setting, is there such a thing as a racist Aboriginal??? There were these 2 teens at the Wellington station. Abor features, caucasian skin color, obviously mixed. Kept hurling racist words at an Afro-American / Black / Negro (whichever term seems more non-racist to you).
"YO, Black Thing" "Nigger".... I don't get it.... & they were giggling to themselves, the guy just ignored them. And I thought the aboriginals would understand the meaning of suppression and discrimination..
-Sat beside an interesting and weird guy. Just trying too hard to look cool perhaps. Hat made of some carpet looking material, odd looking jacket, jeans. n a brown "leather" briefcase. Worse thing, blasting some odd music. Lounge or elevator music that tries hard to sound like jazz. And he had that oil scent.. the 1 that smells like coconut??
-A lady with her kid, sat diagonally across from me. Funny, coz the kid was prob only 2-3 years old, kept tugging her mom's blouse, pulling it down. She wanted to see her mom's boobs, or perhaps wanted to show it to the world.
Mommy just kept stopping her and said "I noe they were yours when you were small, but now they're not, so stop it!"
Kids....

Read all about it!
Ok, finally an entry... Ages and eons since I last did this...
Really just lazy la... Blogging is definitely requires a little discipline...
Some updates on whats going on:
- I'm finally a graduate now! haha, managed to survive without any failed units... The results are aren't the kind that makes people go "wah! so good". It probably would get a reaction like "oh, ok... hmm.. OH, so the weather's really fine today ar?"
- 1st week of winter hols spent at OCF Winter Camp. Helped in the committee. Was pretty alrite, but all the time doing stuff, running around. Was good since the com was really good. Camp site was beautiful.
- I went for a short holiday in Sydney(4days) and Melbourne(10days) for 2weeks, 8-21 July. Spent alot, mostly on food. Din manage to buy much.. coz the girls were doing most of the shopping. But did buy some stuff in Syd, 2Mooks n a decent looking Mambo for $15. Skiing was fun, but freaking cold.
- I've put on weight.... All thanks to the rich and sinful food in Syd n Melb. Is there a Koko Black's in Sg?? A friend said there might be, but I can't recall..
- Initial post-graduation plans was to be a full time bummer till September. But that has changed. Gonna apply for PR in Aus. so wun be back in Sg that soon.
- Thought I'd bum till I get my PR. But fortunately, got a job. Was actually considering of not taking it, but really needed income. Part timing at a small firm doing accounting and tax, no audit whatsoever. They'll offer full time once PR application confirmed, and prob depending on my performance as well.
Full time pay, 29k... Not much, but will do for now.
- Homeless at the moment. Bunking in a friend's place. Didn't stay on at my previous 1 coz I wasn't sure if I would even stay on till end of the year.
- Might shift back to my old place. Simplifying a complicated story :
New tenant shifts in, unhappy with what he initially saw and agreed to.
Acts like a spoilt kid, refuse to share phone bill and furnishing costs.
Wants to shift out, doesnt bother finding a replacement tenant, yet expects the room to be his till he finds a place.
- Job.... lotsa stuff to learn... but kinda dry... This is after all accounting and tax... What's the most exciting thing that can happen?? "OH NO! The Balance Sheet isn't balanced!"... "HELP! The client can't get his $100 reduction!"..
- The people at work are really nice tho. I haven't exactly warmed up to them yet... I'm kinda slow at that.. A note, juz for cheap thrill.. I'm the youngest in the firm, but that's quite alrite since it has a staffing of under 10.
- Still figuring out what I wanna do... How I'm gonna earn my living...
- Still clueless about who I am, how well do I know myself...
- Still trying to see if I'm alrite the way I am now... hmmm...
- This ain't a promise, but I'll try to post fotos, 8^). Not easy as I don't have my own digicam. People, its time to get me one for my birthday. haha.
