Rantings
Tuesday, September 05, 2006
It just feel so different to go back to school during the holidays. It's an irony, but now everyone should be rushing to finish the homework give, while others would be playing to their heart's content and do last minute work during the weekends. One thing I'm sure is that everyone would do their CHEM hmw. Everyone's afraid of Tan Kee Hoe.
Had extra lessons from 1 - 4.30. Physics was first, two hours and during the lesson, part of it was interupted by Amirul, complimenting Miss Goh's butt. I'll say it here since he has already said it on his. Yeah, trying to silence Cherie so that Miss Goh won't know anything. And thanks Cherie for that note, it really did cheer me up. Haha. I'm so screwed for Physics, cause I didn't understand the whole thing fully. For those non-obs people, physics now has incooperated more maths. Parallelogram.
Suppose to end at 5 which supposingly SS lesson, Mrs Tan wasn't there so the Elective students had their time to the coms in the MRL while the pure Geog students had their lesson with Lena Poh. I was chatting away on MSN Web Messenger, with people like Terence who's beside me. I know, it's kind of lame chatting with someone just beside you, but we did it anyway. I did like one question of the SS, and the power was cut off from the mains to my com.
Know why? Cause the extension was some budget one. All you have to do is to slighty give it a touch and Voala, it turns off. Really darn budget, even making one from the D&T workshop can be better than that.
Left for church with Jenn, and I really want to emphasise on something which really bothers me. I'm stating the absolute truth and no, I'm not lying. I don't get sweets, chocolate or money for doing so.
I DON'T WEAR EYELINER.
Seriously, I'm not angry but I have to clear this up or else more people will assume so. Jenn wasn't the first one. Haha. Rachel was the first one to say I do, but really, I don't. I'm not those guys who really care a lot about their appearance until having the need to resort to eyeliners. It just grew from my eye lid, there's nth much I can do.
Managed to play a couple games of pool, which would be quite lucky for me cause the pool table would always be filled with people on the other days, especially weekends. Skills turned rusty, on and off.
This is now the part which is much more interesting.
If you have noticed by now, those police officers who patrol the MRT Stations, seem to have been demoted or smth. I'm not sure for those on duty in other stations, but those in Douby Ghaut.. They are now carrying pistols instead of the MP5navy they used to carry.
And no, their pistols are not Glocks or the USPs that you use in Counter-Strike, it's those lousy kind where there are only 6 bullets in the barrel and when you reload, most likely you have to put in the bullet one by one. Know those kind which those police officers in the Police Neighbourhood Post carry? Yes, those.
Seriously got me thinking. They got no money buy to buy weapons or what?
I'm not sure how their system works, but I've come up with my own, assumption.
Okay, so the system goes like this : There are rankings/levels for these police officers. No.1 means the best and the last one means the worst.

1. Police officers who carry assualt rifles : M16 [ you don't see the police using AK. ]
2. Police officers who carry sub-machine guns : MP5navy
3. Police officers who carry shot guns
4. Police officers who carry pistols
5. Security guards who are armed with pepper spray. They don't need 10 cents or phone card cause the public phones are programmed in a way that emergency numbers can be called for free.
Yeah, so imagine those who carry pistols. They would be like depressed everyday, hoping not to become those security guards. Picture a conversation...
Wah, sian. Look at us now, only have 6 bullets to protect our own lives when on guard duty..
Yah lah, last time we used to have glocks with 20 bullets per magajine, then downgrade to USP with 12 bullets per magajine. See lah, so budget until now left 6. That gun must manual one by one put in somemore, like that confirm kena shot when reloading. SIANzZzZ.Yeah, that would be part of the conversation between one officer and the other. Is the system really like that or it's that they really don't have the money to get more weapons? This reminds me that guys my year would be serving in the army about 3-4 years time. Why 3 - 4? Cause some of you might go in a lil later because of studies.
I had the chance to stumble upon a video on Youtube, uploaded by a Singaporean, a movie screened here in 1996, titled : Army Daze.
It's a quite nice movie which i downloaded all the parts and had them stored in my com. If you are looking for a convertor, you can approach me and I'll send it to you. It really comes in handy when you have online video streaming website like Youtube and you wanna keep them for whatever purposes.
Going back to the topic, it depicts army life and one part which showed a man in his 50s trying to earn money by cheating innocent guys to buy a book : 101 ways to TUANG in the Army.
Tuang means : to slack or skive.
And you have like uneducated Ah Bengs during that generation and on the first day, the Corporal told him to drop 10, he took out 10 cents from his pocket and threw it on the floor. Quite a funny show.
How do normally instructors tend to insult you?
Ans : By saying that their grandmothers can do better than you.
Then what would be our ans.?
Ans : Then ask your grandmother do lah.
Some girls would think that army life would be filled with disgusting things, living in the jungle, no change of underwear for days. Eat snakes in the wild, literally living like Tarzan. However, guys, army life is cool, ain't it?!
