Friday, September 29, 2006 as the title suggests, i've been pretty hooked on an online game call blast billiards during the last 2 days. its a pool game alike to many others out there but with a twist. the balls have a countdown of 100 seconds to them, and all of them must be pot within the time limit, failing which, the table explodes and u lose the game.
there are additional bonuses for potting in the black ball last or gg by the correct sequences and also time penalties, i.e. time cut off for potting in the white ball or nt hitting any ball at all. and as the game progresses, each level has its own challenge in it that the balls are arranged in different patterns or there are certain rules to abide to for that particular level.
so far, i've only managed to make it to level 6 out of the 15 levels available, and its pretty challenging ald. there are also other versions, later or earlier ones, (the one i'm playing is version 4.0) and even an extreme version with 20 plus levels and a time limit of only 70 seconds for each game. its all on www.blastbilliards.com and you can go try it out if you want to. really, its quite addictive la. hah.
billiards aside, i've recently discovered the use of bit torrent, which is like damn outdated ald i know who nair mind that. and i've been dling anime and movies galore.
so far, i've downloaded hellsing ultimate and kof another day series only..but got tons others queued up and also a few movies here and there. but i've gotta put a stop to it due to space restriction since my comp's memory space is fast depleting..it went down like 5 gb in the 2 days since i started dling.
wtf..i need a portable disk storage device, preferably 100gb or more to satisfy all my dls at the very least. but i seriously got no money to spare to buy any.. heard its like 100 plus at least but if anyone got any lobang pls do let me know. second hand also can but provided its in gd condition and previous owners' stuff is cleared. yar..
nb, really damn broke this month, next month gonna be worse since my pay's gg to be like only 200 plus after my 300 combat allowance is taken away plus i have to repay saf 160 for what they said is overpayment of combat allowance. something i was just notified of this morning. right, thats the situation la..think i will really start eating and smoking dried grass next month liao. anyone got any job lobang also pls do let me know ok? heh.

Monday. 9.25.06 9:13 am reported for my new and permanent posting at saf ammo command today. bloody place is damn far la, i had to take a bus from my place for an hr before getting off at king albert park there, cross the road and wait for the shuttle buses coming at 15 min intervals from 7am onwards..and if i miss all of 'em..i'll juz have to take a cab or prepare to walk 3 clicks in to get to the place..cb.
and it had to rain while i was waiting for the shuttle bus this morning, and rain heavily it did too, rendering all of ppl waiting for the bus soaked. gd thing the bus wasnt tt cold la..
alright, finally got there and reported for roll call. on top of being damn ulu, the place got virtually nth la...canteen is located in one small corner with no seats; gotta ta pao everything one, but anyway it hasnt got much to offer la..so no prob there. there's also no medical centre, emart or gift shop; if i want to make use of any of these facilities must go to maju camp in clementi..nb.
but i guess the place is not all bad la, dunno why the offices there got quite alot of ol sia..and a couple of them is nt bad la...haha.
to top it off, the assistant log br boss, a lieutanant clara, who interviewed me when i got there, is cute as a button! hosay la!

Tuesday, September 19, 2006 cant believe i could have been so stupid. to leave stuff i juz bought for over 50 dollars on the floor while im engrossed in playing some stupid game at the arcade. wtf. now no more liao lor. kenna kope by some gina at the arcade, and probably from right under my nose too, since i was too engrossed in the game. serves me right for being so fucking careless and playful also.
well, lesson learned. but cant do a fucking thing abt it anyway. more words are redundant. Comment! (2) | Recommend! Sunday, September 17, 2006 hah, went to watch jennifer in 'the next wave 2006' by the nus dance ensemble last nite.
cant say i really enjoyed myself. probably becoz i din understand a single performance during the 2 hr event. at times, i did find myself looking forward to the 10 minute interval in order to exit from the auditorium and refresh myself. lol. like nic said, they cld have included a commentary or sth at the end of each dance to explain to lesser beings like us wad it meant and all tt, otherwise we would juz be wasting our money sitting thru the 2 hr show. think i really went juz to show support for a fren performing there.
tt said, it wasnt really tt bad a performance at all. kudos to jen and her fellow performers for being able to churn out move after move on stage and still keep a straight face even when at times the maneouvers performed seemed to be quite difficult and even painful, haha.
nuff said abt tt, went to holland v after the show with everyone else who was at the performance, namely, alvin, nic, gab and the girls. finally managed to see what wala's was like after hearing abt it all the time fr frens, tho i did not manage to go there since the company i was in wasnt interested in pubbing and wanted to go some coffee place for food and other non alcoholic drinks.
dance performance aside, i've finally gotten out of fucking hendon camp; received news tt i was being posted to oeti for armourer course (wtf? again?!) but also cant do a thing abt it. but i shld be glad tt at least im out of there and nt stuck doing guard duty every other day for 3 fucking weeks when the entire company's away in brunei. heng..
my last nite in hendon camp was quite memorable i guess. had a bbq at the jetty with the rest of the company. suppose to be a happy hr cum coy cohesion before the brunei trip but i guess no one really gave a fuck. coz the moment when the green light was given to start eating, everyone was jostling ard like its gg to be their last meal. haha.
bbq over, it was back to the parade sq to do a company cheer tt was to be filmed and presented to co and rsm as a farewell gift since they are handing over command soon. the cheer was conjured up by fok, our resident cheerleader and erh..girlyboy? it sounds so fucking stupid tt i dun want to talk abt it except tt i only mouthed the words so tt i wun look outside standing when the video is played.
yar ttz it, next week onwards im gg to be 8 to 5 liao. hooray! Comment! (1) | Recommend! Sunday, September 10, 2006 went on a short trip to sentosa with the family juz now. wah.. the place really changed liao la, i dun recognise a single thing. probably becoz i haben been there in like 10 years. hah, i sua ku la.
nair mind the place. the experience was fucked up. coz of the company. not say i dun like to go out with the family, but its like they everything also dun wan to go down and try. gimme the map tell me to go see wad attraction nice to go, den went i tell them got this got tt, they complain aiyoh too ex la, cannot la, not interested la, wad sun too hot la, or.. why not juz chop chop tour ard the place and go home i got many things to do at home. wtf..
like tt go sentosa for fuck. nt interested den say so in the first place wad. i nair force u go lor, and i din even suggest the fucking trip in the first place, ur did. waste my fucking sunday gg with ur when i could have made other more constructive plans.
next time i hope to really go sentosa and have fun. seriously explore the attractions or at the very least the beaches. laze in the sun bio char bo in skimpy two-pieces, talk cock sing song, play ball games or simply juz swim in the sea also not a bad idea. spend like mayb 1 whole day or at least half the day there. not like today, go there barely 2 fucking hrs den teng chu kun liao.
think i should call for sentosa outing sometime in the future la. but muz first exercise more and tone up first otherwise go there also paiseh. ha. ha.
gg back to my prison later liao. somemore 1 hr early coz tmr got airborne refresher and mod 2 trg for alot of ppl, myself not included. all the same, got to go back early help them with the stores. sian. but i suppose i shld be happy tt im at least out for the wkend and not stuck in bloody tekong looking for the muzzle. 3 cheers to tay kang wei the hero who found the muzzle. alpha company owes u a big one. haha.
for tonner and lorry. Comment! (0) | Recommend! Saturday, September 9, 2006 yup im back, after a month of absence, im back to gripe abt my miserable existence in hendon camp again. hah.
first things first, ever since i got notification tt i had downgraded like 2 weeks ago, i tot i was home free and in for the good life, meaning i was juz all ready to be posted out and in the meanwhile could juz ba long long everyday.
i was so damn wrong.
seriously, i have no idea what is the fucking problem with the officers in my company, as in they especially like to tekan those of us who have long term medical status, are on pending downgrade or have already downgraded, along with those who keep reporting sick for nothing juz to get status to siam trg.
they juz grp the whole lot of us under 'att bs' and make us do all sorts of saikang..and when there's trg, we have to sit in and observe..in full battle order no less.
alright, i understand if they wan to tekan those ppl who are feigning sickness to siam trg, but what has tt gotta do with us ppl who have genuine medical history and conditions tt dun allow us to be part of the trg troops? i dun think its fucking fair at all to grp us all together and tekan us all the time.
and what's with hanging on to us and making us do guard duty every other day when the rest are outfield? are u really so desperate to squeeze us dry before we get posted out from under ur fucking jurisdiction or do u really juz derive sick pleasure from watching ppl like us suffer for no reason?
and did i mention the insult bit? getting labelled shit and trash and other names when we are juz sitting there and dun deserve such crap? juz the other day, one of the det cmdrs labelled those of us sitting at the grandstand observing the trg as a 'useless pile of shit'. what the fuck is ur problem man? do u really think u have the right to insult us juz becoz we aren't fighting fit like u are?
worse still, this guy is not even a full fledged commando yet. he's from some infantry unit who volunteered for sof but flunked the selection. come on man, if ur really so good, u would be joining the current sof course platoon and not be stuck in the company line doing essentially the same trg as the rest of them but only as a det cmdr. goddamn! u haven't even been to airborne course when most of those labelled 'shit' by u have ald done so and cleared their required jumps! in some sense, if we were not on medical status or downgraded/ pending downgrade, we would essentially be more qualified as a commando than u! fucker!
and when we bring up the issue to the csm during aar session, he juz passed it off as a joke and let the whole company laugh abt it and ttz it. seriously, even though we dun deserve any high respect from u as normal trainees, we at least should deserve our dignity and rights to nt be labelled any-oh-how and be insulted as such. speaking of which, how do u expect us to respect and have faith in ur command when u dun even show us the simplest form of it?!
and the next burning issue is the gpmg muzzle lost during last week's tekong trip. why make us go back over the weekend, and threaten to burn all our subsequent weekdays and offdays if we cannot manage to recover it? seriously there is no logic in doing such a thing. tekong is nt someplace where only commandos train, lots of other units train there daily. how do u expect us to find something so small like a gpmg muzzle after 11 fucking days? its like looking for a needle in a hay stack! do u seriously want to recover it so badly or do u juz wan to tekan us and burn our weekends before the brunei trip next sunday?
tt aside, we did manage to find the blasted thing this morning when we went back. call it a stroke of luck, a miracle or a gift from the gods, wadever. my point is, if we did not manage to get it back, would we really be subjected to the torture of gg back to bloody tekong every weekend and offday before and after brunei to punish us for our carelessness; when a replacement for the fucking thing can juz be indented from the alb and be done with?
seriously, i dunno how they think..the commanders and esp the officers. the way they run the company is so fucked up and they dare tell us we are fucked up when they share half the responsibility for fucking up the whole company! wtf..i really dunno what to expect anymore, juz hope to be posted away from them asap.
fucked up lah. Comment! (3) | Recommend! |
