Hallo ihr alle da draussen...as the (long-defunct?) group Hepburn sang in I Quit...
'Ain't gonna go to work no more...'
I kinda quit sia. I went to Pasir Panjang Wharf today to oversee back shipment...well...the vehicles involved in THUNDER WARRIOR (and you're not supposed to know what that is so don't ask) came back today and basically 24 SA had to go down to the wharves to collect our vehicles...but wait! The story begins yesterday...
...yes! Yesterday night...me, johnny, melvyn and yu ru came back from SAFRA Yishun after a night of (not-so-good) bowling and LAN, where we totally owned some kids at counterstrike...whooped their asses man...hahaha but yea it was worse than stealing candy from a toddler...horrible, aren't we? Well...TOO BAD! hahaha! Yes anyway i shall stop digressing. So we went back...and so i got tempted into a few games of bridge with the dudes...and i tried to sleep when they were bidding over contract bridge at 1am with the bloody lights in my eyes and magic and jap music and anime on the laptop and lee heng fai and laughter at poor playing and complaints of dumb cards and my little personal hell. They all, somehow, managed to keep the Z-monster at bay...don't you wish you could do all these things in the middle of a 100% boring lesson? Well yes but it's all that you don't need when all you really need is the nice Z-monster to give you one gentle caress and send you into la-la-land. In the end, i went to fats' bed to sleep. but then went back to my own bunk after they closed shop for the night. At 2 a.m.
That wasn't particularly bad, you say? Well, i woke up at 0545 the next morning because of the shipment...got into my smart 4 and went down to the garage...where there were sleepy specialists and men...and we set off only one hour later at 0645 on the bumpy ride to Pasir Panjang...and we ended up spending the day there because the unloading simply took ages...all of us were sleeping in the cabin, in the tonner, everywhere...sigh...when we finally hauled our tired asses back to camp it was already time to book out...hahaha...what a day! Woo! Did almost zilch today...
Oh...but i DID upgrade my handphone plan...now i am the proud owner of a new Nokia 6230! So...Anyone willing to sponsor yours truly a 512 MB memory card and a connectivity cable so i can transfer musik to my hp?
Losing inspiration to write. But i finished Captain Corelli's Mandolin and i must say that it is one awesome read. Why? Apart from the beautiful and flowing prose, it gives a jaded mind a safe refuge to hide and recover...i caught myself laughing while reading, touched when Weber was forced to shoot his friend Corelli, and even the description of the simplest of lives was one which i appreciated and which enriched me deeply. It's not reading the words in the book. Read it, and let your mind's eye take you through a journey. See the characters as you will - definitely your vision will be different from mine's...i doubt you'll regret reading it at all...remember...don't think and don't let the book restrict you...fly!
