4 down 3 more to go
Yes! 3 more duties to go and it will be the end of my ICT. After nites of toking cock with my fellow platoon mates, we reached the conclusion that what we are doing actually compromises the security of the base. Whoever thought of the deployment plan deserves to be shot cuz what we are told to do is check on pass holders and let non pass holders in, and at the same time letting them know how easy it is to get into the base. What a big joke! One funny incident happened during my ICT is the Ammo vs the Memo incident. One of my not so well educated buddy was questioned where he kept his ammo during his duty and his answer was it was in the bunk. It is a really serious offence cuz he is performing his duty without live rounds. In the end, it turned out that he did not understand what is ammo and misunderstood it as memo. He then told the officer that checked on him that he should have referred to bullets instead of ammo cuz he is a hokkien peng mah. Haha.

Killer menses & Gucci
Aiyo, can die! It's been quite a long time since I've had such a killer menses. Since my crimson tide started this afternoon, it's been nonstop pain. I feel as though my nabeh uterus is at loggerheads with my brain. Not even popping painkillers twice really helped. Until, painfully, I slept in the evening and woke up feeling a little better. Being a charbor is really wei qu. Every month have to bleed like a tap and suffer sickening cramps. I am keeping my fingers crossed that my smerri babi will make my pain go away later. I love my babi to message and sayang me to sleep. Hope he gets the not-so-subtle hint.
On a less painful note (though not much less pain cuz making decisions are so painful), I have NOOO idea what to get for my niao re. My babi was thinking of getting me a hifi set to fit around my iPod, but I'm not very sure about that becuz I'm not sure how long my iPod can last. I've been quite Gucci-seow lately, going in and out of Gucci boutiques to check their stuff out. I kan shang quite a few of their hangbags liao, but they are at least $700 upwards...maybe I'll get similar knockoffs from JB (I'm a cheapskate lah!). However I tried on a pair of black Gucci sunglasses today that made me look and feel like a superstar *drooool*. BUT as luck would have it, I already have like 10,000 pairs of shades...the last one being a pair of red Killer Loop that my babi got me. How??? Decisions decisions. :(

Starting my duty on Saturday and it will be one day on & one day off so I will miss the launch of RH. Hehe. 7 duties in total and the countdown begins this Saturday!

Tian Mi Mi Monday
Our glorious day of tian mi mi is coming to a close. When everyone else was out working and suffering the Monday blues, me and my babi were holed up in our own world.
Morning started 9.30am with us two pigs actually waking up in time to make it to Ang Mo Kio wet market. Me and my smerriest breakfasted on old school chwee kuay, orh kuay and chee cheong fun (great stuff!). After that, we grocery-shopped at the wet market and AMK Hub's NTUC Xtra in preparation of the cooking ahead.
For lunch, I toiled over my na shou dish...idiotproof stirfried vegetables, and fried onion omelette. Babi steamed a stubborn small pomfret which refused to be cooked (my babi had to steam in twice more after it was initially done before it was edible). Yummy!
After I grumpily cleaned up our oily kitchen and my stinking self, we headed for Compass Point library. I was delighted to find 2 out of the 8 books on my list of To Borrows. Babi got his usual Chinese novels and a muscle mag, then we were off to Gelare for ice-cream...macadamia nut for Babi and dark chocolate for myself (I don't eat any flavors other than chocolate; it can be different variations of chocolate, but there must die die be chocolate in there or it's a no-go...the stickier and chewier the better, i.e., Ben & Jerry's NYC Triple Fudge).
Afternoon nap was preceded by a bout of book-reading. I finished up Patrick Suskind's Perfume in record time. This was the first time in 7 years that I actually finished a book within 3 days, no thanks to Babi's wu li qu nao's demands to turn off the lights when he wanted to sleep. I usually read better at night before I turn in, so this greatly affected my ability to finish what I am reading. Babi can be a real nabeh when he kena possessed by his inner Spawn. Kekekeke!
For dinner, Babi cooked the most yummilicious beef fried rice and I whipped up another idiotproof contribution...yong tau foo soup! No choice lah, the idiot is all thumbs in the kitchen and can only manage the barest basics. I am marginally better at cleaning and laundry though, so I'm not entirely useless. I also have Babi to thank for not being useless...I married a slob who leaves newspapers, books and mugs all over the place, i.e., if I don't bring the mugs out of the room, there'll be 5 or 6 used mugs decorating our pc table by the end of the day lor. What to do? Got to clean up after a Big Baby...oops, I mean Big Babi. :p
All in all, it was a very fruitful, fulfilling and productive day off with Babi...truly quality time, if I do say so myself. At least we cooked both our lunch and dinner today, and I did some cleaning (of course lah, I am less bai ka bai qiu than Babi, whose idea of a productivity is to nua on the sofa, fart killer stinkers and bark, "Pui eh, pao Milo! NOW!" ).

Adventure Singapore Part 2
Some of my friends that took part (Sas, Black, Xueliang, Me, Adrian & Weilin)
My Ah Pui & Me 
Xueliang & Me
Finally it is over after 5 hours of running, cycling, kayaking, climbing, running, more running & more running! It was really fun & tiring. So glad to see my ah pui at the finishing line. Whole body is aching like hell now but it is all worth it as we came in 7 place. The finishing point was a little disappointing as every1 was looking at those idiot bikers doing stunts. Took away all our glamour! Hahaha. My teammate, Xueliang is really fit. Think he would have done a lot better if he has a stronger teammate instead of me. Will do it again next year with a better timing and our aim is top 5.

Murphy's Military Laws
"They wrote in the old days that it is sweet and fitting to die for one's country. But in modern war there is nothing sweet nor fitting in your dying. You will die like a dog for no good reason." - Ernest Hemingway
1. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you are.
2. No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
3. Friendly fire ain't.
4.The most dangerous thing in the combat zone is an officer with a map.
5. The problem with taking the easy way out is that the enemy has already mined it.
6.The buddy system is essential to your survival; it gives the enemy somebody else to shoot at.
7. The further you are in advance of your own positions, the more likely your artillery will shoot short.
8. Incoming fire has the right of way.
9. If your advance is going well, you are walking into an ambush.
10. The quartermaster has only two sizes, too large and too small.
11. If you really need an officer in a hurry, take a nap.
12. The only time suppressive fire works is when it is used on abandoned positions.
13. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.
14. There is nothing more satisfying that having someone take a shot at you, and miss.
15. Don't be conspicuous. In the combat zone, it draws fire. Out of the combat zone, it draws sergeants.
16. If your sergeant can see you, so can the enemy.

Barber's Laws of Backpacking
"My feet pain pain. An muo." - My babi
Heng my smerri babi cleber. He decided to take the road less travelled that didn't involve the use of his legs!
What's there not to love about flying? Better view. Get from Point A to Point B in the shortest possible time. No get lost. No leg pain pain.
1. The integral of the gravitational potential taken around any loop trail you chose to hike always comes out positive.

1. The integral of the gravitational potential taken around any loop trail you chose to hike always comes out positive.
2. Any stone in your boot always migrates against the pressure gradient to exactly the point of most pressure.
3. The weight of your pack increases in direct proportion to the amount of food you consume from it. If you run out of food, the pack weight goes on increasing anyway.
4. The number of stones in your boot is directly proportional to the number of hours you have been on the trail.
5. The difficulty of finding any given trail marker is directly proportional to the importance of the consequences of failing to find it.
6. The size of each of the stones in your boot is directly proportional to the number of hours you have been on the trail.
7. The remaining distance to your chosen campsite remains constant as twilight approaches.
8. The net weight of your boots is proportional to the cube of the number of hours you have been on the trail.
9. When you arrive at your chosen campsite, it is full.
10. If you take your boots off, you'll never get them back on again.
11. The local density of mosquitos is inversely proportional to your remaining repellent.
