Never Leave You-Lumidee

it's been a long day at work today,half past ten and all my colleagues already left,except for myself still in this 'hotbox'-in the dj console,with the faulty air con unit and the floor fan,the heat from the amplifiers below evaporates in the still air and i'm caught here,with bad ventilation and bassy hip hop in the stale air.
less than 5% left of downloading time-and still it seems forever,i gotta do this once and for all-the clone wars episodes-during my search for the clone wars,i only managed to acquire the movie and another 4 short episodes,managed to get my hands onto episode 1 series,but it cost a burning $65!!ridiculous as i thought and i shoved it back into the rack,anger building inside of me-i could not believe they charged a dvd at that price,and i was so determined that i could get it elsewhere,and the last resort-to download it-easy!but beside the clicks away-it's the waiting game that i wish i could live without-it's been hours now,and so i thought it would be over by 10pm,but the 5% kept me waiting-restless and fidgety,i ran out of cigarettes and snacks,got bored of mixing music,and now i'm blogging my tantrums here,with big hope,that by the time i finished this,i could already upload the movie onto my harddisk,shut down the system,pack up my stuffs and call it a day..not yet!!!

Don't Panic-Coldplay

i must say that it is seriously not an easy task trying to acquire the star wars figurines and vehicles,and out of desperation,we even had to order from overseas to ship in the ones that either too expensive locally,or totally unavailable at all.
And since this madness started weeks back,it already caused a big hole in our wallet,we've spent almost $1000 over from our savings,and it doesn't seems to end!
Exciting as it sounded,i hope i could at least rest,as my big wish has almost finally arrived,i'm collecting my republic gunship and clone troopers later this evening,and that's what i've really longed for,and once i get home with my gift tonight,i'm going to unsealed the pack,fix up all the parts together,arrange the troopers in the ship and they all will embark onto a new adventure in our room!wow!!

Dirty Little Secret-All American Rejects

I can't stop yawning,i was sleepy,i felt tired and i can't focus,i'm in a bad shape.

It's almost a fortnight now that all Muslims across the globe observe fasting during this holy month of Ramadan,but even after so many days,my body system still not fully adapting to the routine-i feel so weak!
and lately due to me and my wife's active biddings at ebay for our insane search of star wars vehicles and figurines had actually made me travel all over singapore,meeting and dealing with strangers for the precious plastic moulded into cool lil playthings that made us drool.
And watching all the Episodes over and over again,without ever getting bored over it.the clone wars is next in our schedule,and already i have collected Asajj this morning,and will be collecting another variation,together with the demise of Grievous and a B wing fighter later at China Square,it's a wonderful sunday yeah!

and another wonderful week indeed,after 10 years of crazy times at work, i got a shock of my life when my boss gave me a tight handshake,and whispered in my ears that i've to treat her to a meal,and slipped an envelope in my hands,which i later opened up and discovered i was promoted to assistant manager-ooh!

Just A Friend-Biz Markie




it's a national day holiday,and we all just had a nice hearty meal-steamboat and grilled beef,and plenty other condiments as well.it's hot as hell out there,and i'm throwing excuses not to leave home,for now.

earlier today me and my wife mounted a frame onto the wall and with that completed arranging her star wars collection,and we've actually went around town and the flea mart over the last weekend hunting for good buys and ended up lugging extra bags and bore a big hole in our pockets,but it's all good as stuffs that we purchased were at bargained offer.and i even got myself a $30 Luke's Skyhopper-isn't it a crazy?

but it doesn't end there actually,last night as we watched The Empire Strikes Back on our bed,i actually surfed around looking for other star wars sale posted in the net,and actually bumped onto this guy who's selling his millenium falcon-contemplating,i moved the cursor back and forth last night checking out the picture,till i finally decided to dropped him a sms-he replied,even though that ad he posted was last year-and yes it's still available-so i'm negotiating with him currently and really hope i could put my arms around that cool ship.

may the force be with you!

Clocks-Coldplay



It's Officially Over!

The week long In Camp Training ended at about 10pm last night.We had to standby at our parent unit,at a secluded fire station in Yishun,and the whole period,apart from sighing and being restless the whole while,we watched movies projected onto the screen onstage,talked and laughed aloud among ourselves,ate and slept.

earlier during the week,we had to be at Civil Defence Academy as early as 7.15 am,and on the average,we left camp at about 7pm daily.less rest and plenty time occupied with refresher courses.
i was very happy that i succeed in earning myself the silver award for IPPT test,but i was very surprised that i was awarded a letter of commendation and $100 vouchers for 'outstanding performance';i wasn't sure whether i deserve this,as all i did was just following all instructions given.
and i was blessed with infallible jolly good buddies in my unit,we blended well together,they even covered me when i sneaked out for prayers in the next building,they always give encouraging support whenever and where ever i was lost and unsure on certain equipments and so on.
so one more Hi Key Training,and we're left with 4,and i heard wind that we will be recalled back sometime one of the saturdays this coming november and also another strong indication that i can never have long hair any sooner.

all over for now and i can breathe easy...
