    • seated on a bus during peak hour period beside a fat guy who is squeezing me off the seat....he carrying lots of junk food bought from jurong point supermarket

       

      i think he was drinking the bubble tea from sweet talk...the drink is finished already..

       

      but he want to suck up all the pearls....so he made horrible and loud and irritating sucking noises and chewing sounds...

       

      drinking and eating isn't even allowed on the bus....if you want to at least do it discreetly on an empty bus lah. when everyone surrounding you and you make such horrible sounds....i just feel like beating that fat guy...z

    • Since I had to report at 7am in camp during NS and  7am at work after NS...I found myself taking the 1st or 2nd train very often.

       

      From the probable 100+ trips of very early trains I have taken, I see that the ratio of males: females on the early trips can be as overwhelming as 30:1. it's like females almost non-existent on these trips.

       

      I take the train heading to the east direction btw. Anyone else have such observations? Anything can be inferred? confused.png

    • I'm enrolling soon into NUS engineering...but after ord I decided to take up a temp job at an accounting firm(not big4)

       

      simple facts:

       

      highturnover rate: in the two months that I was there...turnover was about 10%. 10% in about 50 days...go figure.

       

      stress: go crazy with big figures while having to handle big stacks of documents...no passion or fun involved. I heard an ntu acc graduate scream a minute of vulgar words into his hp when he was disturbed while working...

       

      no life: must start work early, end later and no time to breathe in between...

    • so, any seasoned pros know how to get maximum value from buffets?

       

      what's your "strategy" to get more value out of the buffet or to enjoy it better?

      First thought 如果有一天你说你要走,我不会强求,不会挽留。只因为我要给你最后的温柔;我会对你说...我给你自由

       

      Maybe someone can recognize it's chinese band Mayday's "温柔" lyrics. Vaguely translated as "If you said you wanted to leave, I'll not beg you to stay. Because I love you, I will set you free." Maybe we were fated to be just friends. Known her for 4 years. From schoolmates to classmates to best friends to strangers to partners and MAYBE back to just schoolmates when I enroll in NUS soon.

       

      I told myself I will have no regrets over this relationships at the start. And I don't at this point. Too different personalities and interests.

       

      Second thought 分手就分手....别把话说得太美 Kenji Wu's "残废". Translated as "Just break-up and cut the crap." I never wayang in front of my friends and I don't pretend to like people when I don't. That's why my friends are few but close to me. And I couldn't ever imagine my girlfriend playing mindgames on me. Words laced with sarcasm. Reverse psychology...

       

      Maybe she just wants me to be the bad guy and "dump" her by saying the magic words. But then it's like whenever we are at breaking point she will suddenly reverse and the angels in her come out and do their magic.

       

       I wouldn't say I'm tired but I definitely am confused sometimes. I'm definitely not blaming her and I have no regrets...

       

      Note: post to be edited when the thoughts in my mind are straightened out : )

    • Unless a girl literally say "I like you", any signs or suggestions are merely smoke : P

       

      I think you should take the chance to know her better...

       

      a r/s that gets off successfully but on the wrong foot might be doomed to fail...

    • Hi EAC,

       

      i wonder if you heard of a condition called Arterio-venous malfunction(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arteriovenous_malformation)

       

      Before NS, I already had this condition but it was undiagnosed. I was therefore PES A. I would suffer from wild headaches now and then which affected my BMT performance and in the end I didn't make it to command school. The Tekong doctor said that I was only suffering from stress-induced headaches and gave me nothing more than painkillers.

       

      Fast forward through my NS life, I was a pioneer in 39 SCE and represented SAFSA in dragonboat. Can safely say I did my part and did not chaokeng. Near ORD, I had my condition diagnosed and the AVM removed.

       

      However now that I have ORDed, the AVM has returned. Whenever I exercise, the blood rush engorges my AVM with rapidly pumping blood and I get headaches of varying severity.

       

      I plan to go for another operation to remove this new AVM but hope to get downgraded and excused from IPPT. AVMs are a congenital disorder of the cardiovascular system so I can be permanently downgraded even after the AVM has been removed?

       

      Doctor says possibly after this AVM is removed, another one will take its place and there are might be other undiscoverered AVMs in my body.

       

      If I want to downgrade, I have to take a specialist letter to the MO in my reservist camp, right?

    • no extra $200.

       

      EOD drivers only go through a short CBRE course.

       

      they have a super good life and will clock a lot of KM over 2 years of NS ferrying the EOD response teams to various incidents.

      2nd choice is passtiere at Mohd sultan rd, taste is good but pricing wise depends on what cake you choose.

      oh....how big is a 500g cake usually?
