BBQ Timo...

Man... I'm so roasted today... We spent a day at the south-western most district of Singapore today, specifically - Tuas Power Station Area, where all the reclaim land lies, basically to show us the area that we'll be defending in the event of war (hope it NEVER happens), and some of the stuffs we'll be doing there should the inevitable occurs... I reach home with 2 different shades on my skin - no thanks to the scorching heat of mid-day sun.
The heat was literally "blistering" (I ended up with 2 blisters, one per heel), the sea breeze wasn't exactly refreshing as it makes you clammy n sticky n lethargic. SIANZ!!
Fortunately for me, tomolo's the last day of reservist, can finally look forward to my 8-6 schedule in da stingy UOB.. Tink I'll go get my degree n hop over to HSBC or ABN-AMRO... There pay higher.. :)

Reservist

Wa!!! Its been a hell of a week, n i'm really glad tt its finally sunday! I went for my high key reservist since monday, going thru orientation driving on the 5/Ton truck n landrover, confirming detail sheets n bus indents, went for live firing @ Nee Soon Range, was nearly eaten by mosquitoes tt r attracted by insect repellants, taumatised by 1.5 inch houseflies n fist sized spiders, drank $1.20 per can tiger beer, spoke 90% hokkien, understood only 40%, and explained to my fren tt the name "Tan Kok Lai" is initialed as "Tan K L" and not "Tan C L" (not Tan Cock Lai..) then the rest translated "Cock Lai" into hokkien and we had a horrible time suppressing our laughter.. IPPT was on sat afternoon, so we booked out from Maju @ around 6pm... (Si beh sianz....) My new boots chewed a chunk off my leg, both the heel and the inner shin r really sore.. So i'm in quite a foul mood throughout the week...

Been catching up with my reading again, having devoured 98% of by David Eddings, so probably i'll finish it today and move on to another book... haha... Gonna drop by sunny bookshop to get new books le.. kk, gona shower, watch Gundam Seed Destiny, and go to church!

BB!!!
