Last Paper(Date)=15 May=D Day!

Now currently sianz(max)

Cleared my Analogue Electronics lab test on Sat. Quite confident about it, although I took quite a while to interpret the results. Submitted the last of my reports electronically. One more Aerospace Management Quiz to go this Friday! After that, I need to prepare really well for the Exams in mid-May. Sheeshz.



Hello world! I'm still alive and kicking!

I was thinking about the recent happenings. There was no happy ending, but that did not mean that I had nothing to gain from that episode. The result was, I feel more confident about myself, and to handle situations and to manage my thoughts. But I think there's still more to learn from lessons that life can provide.

Moving on!

Caught up with a few fellas for the movie, "Taken" at AMK Hub. Nice movie, if you are into disturbing scenes.

I welcome frank evaluation,

but I dislike being judged.

It's like, a verdict being passed without any due consideration from the defendant.

It puts me in a defensive stance.

And no, I dun believe in appeals.

I wonder, the Town Councils, who are so enthusiatic about showcasing the upgrading works (as evident from the newletters I get in my letterbox),

have they neglected the basic need for periodic maintenance for the facilities that they have once built?

Wishing all you guys Gong Xi Fa Cai in this niu year!

Drivers, do drive safely for you and your family! And drink driving is definitely a NO-NO!

Vehicle commanders, do watch out for your drivers!

Pedestrains, do watch out for speedsters!



 

Singaporean Removed from SIA Flight After "Bomb" Joke

Never mind how you called it: Paranoid, Enthusiatic,Kiasu,Kiasee....

Here's a guide on how to avoid being entangled in such sticky stiuations by resisting suggestive terms:



1) "I need to BOMB the toilet!"

2) "It cost me a BOMB to fly with SIA!"

3) To the air stewardness or steward, "sex BOMB sex BOMB, you're my sex BOMB. And Baby you can really turn me on! "

(erm, just dun sing or even hum any song with the word BOMB or even part therein in any lyrics)

4) "eh, so many ang-mohs here. Don't use our BOMBbastic Singlish here can?"

Anymore that I can add?



P.S. Anybody knows where I can get cheap and good nokia batteries? Original and "Nokia Compatible" ones also can. As long as those are reliable. Mine can hardly hold a full charge for 8 hrs liao before a blank screen appears on my phone.
Battery model is BP-5M.

Regards to all!

Met at 7am at Andrew's house area, plus a couple, that made four of us for the day trip to melaka. We went by Tuas 2nd link, toll charge was $4.60 and RM10.80 on the SG and MY side respectively. Stop by the first R&R stop just before GP town. Had Mee Rebus and teh tarik for breakfast, while the 3 others had curry puffs. Top-up petrol at Esso nearby before moving off to our final destination.

On the NS highway:

NS highway is easy on cruising and speeding and pretty much fuss-free to travel on, other than looking out for the cops who would pounce on speeding vehicles at first chance, especially Singapore registered ones... But it is easier said than done when one is driving on well-paved, mostly straight roads and the board signs screaming "300km+ more to Kuala Lumpur". But if you are unluckily enough, do be prepared to pay some coffee money. 

On Malaysia's NS highway, always give way to faster moving vehicles, even to those who read the highway as NS Autobahn... it is not advisable to hog the outermost right lane as there are very aggressive drivers. They are capable of tailgating you at very high speed with their bumpers nearly touching you, forcing you out of their way. It is different compared to riding on Singapore’s Highway where you can stay on the outermost right lane as long as you hit the legal speed limit of 90kmh. 
Oh, the legal speed limit is 110kmh on the NS Highway. However, most vehicles go way beyond that. Probably to test the maximum speed of their vehicle...

We arrived at Mahkota Parade Shopping Centre. Walked around for a while, before walking to the Famosa Chicken Rice Ball for lunch. I like the Chinese imperial palace concept, and it even have a throne hall for people to relish being a Emperor and take snapshots at it. Costumes not included. We set off for Melaka Megamall after lunch. Nice and cool place, newly built mall at Jonker Street. Oh, the street snaking through Jonker had been converted to a pedestrian mall.

It is said that all good things will come to an end, and to mark an end to our journey, we drove to the neighbouring state of Johore. However, as heavy-hearted as I sound, there are times we could really sit down for some good and cheap seafood at Hai Kee Seafood, Taman Sri Tebrau, Johore Bahru. We had a late lunch, and so we did not have appetites for some crabs. (Missed the butter crabs at Gelang Patah Town)

Time to book in to SG. Left for JB Customs. long car queues as usual. Oh, managed to get my KL coach ticket at Merlin Tower for the following day...

"There was one evening at the neighbourhood Shop N Save 
when an elderly woman in her 60s asked me to look at the price tag on a 50g bottle of Nescafe. 
I looked and told her the price. It was now dearer by almost a dollar.
She sighed, 
and put the bottle back on the shelf"

I think the Goverment needs to do more for the poor, when the National Budget is announced on Feb 15th. I'm pretty sure the Government can pay more than just $290/mth (wtf eat what!) in public assistance, especially when it is predicted to run a surplus of $4billion. And that is equivalent to $1000 per citizen!

Oh pls stop spending Tens of billions of dollars bailing out some foreign banks, what about the poor sitting in the backyard?

Just some morning rants.

peace out

Well, it was supposed to be an uneventful Sat nite watching my DVD series bought from Johor. Shall blog that later. Anyway met up with Mr Optimus at The Bar for KTV over a juggie and some nuts. And oh, we left before we get to sing that hokkien song called No.3 Mami. lol.

Went to his house to take a look at his new renovated bedroom and private loo. Not Bad. And I couldn't resist taking pics with this Big Boy:

                                      

Fortess Maximus! He's huge! 

Left the place shortly after to catch up with my colleagues at Dragonfly@ St. James Power Station. The traffic was horrendous that there was barely even space for a bike to "squeeze" through. Probably due to the Zoukout event at Sentosa. Perhaps the entrance to St. James shouldn't be located along the road linking Sentosa causeway. 

Dragonfly rocks with their stage bands and Scorpion King, a fantastic crooner I must say. And during intermittent periods between the stage performances, club music mixes played were similar to those played at Powerhouse. I would prefer Dragonfly over Powerhouse anytime if not for the str8 crowds. But then again, there were some cute ones around...
