NDP 07

noreply@blogger.com (jav) — Mon, 13 Aug 2007 14:25:00 +0000

Finally, it ended. 4 months of marching, getting every of my Saturday burned to prepare for the big show on 9th August. Now i realized what they mean by 台上一分钟，台下十年工。 (what happen on the stage maybe one minutes, but it take ten years to prepare). It may not take us 10 years to prepare all this, but it can be say to be tough to drag your feet to book in at 8am every Saturday morning and booking out as late as 10pm at night, missing out on the gathering with your buddy and getting yourself tired after one day of training under the hot sun, but all in all, its worth it as the parade was a success. After all, finally this parade is the last of 2007 having took part in the SAF day parade too, summing up an eventful 2007. I will miss the gossip session in the waiting area before the parade, the guys who joined in the gossip, the rush to return arm after the parade to book out fast and also the every Monday off! NDP 07: a memorable parade.

Tribute posting - Starhub

noreply@blogger.com (jav) — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 15:18:00 +0000

I want to thanks Starhub for the broadband services they providing. The best internet connection( the so called 'FAT GREEN PIPE' choked green pipe you mean?) i can ever find, saving my electricity bill by disconnecting my broadband every 10-30 minutes after leaving my ass off my computer seat to get drinks or toilet break. Thanks for the consistent calling me to remind me of outstanding payment for the month every now and then because i regularly feel it hard to part with my money for such poor services monthly.

And also, i want to thanks Starhub for regularly disconnecting my mobile line because of my refusal to pay up for such pathetic service every month. And after which my refusal to pay up the outstanding balance for my mobile, they decided to play some childish punk my disconnecting my residential line because it is also register under Starhub. Thanks for letting me know that a service provider and be so childish at time. Who know after this posting, they might resort to something more gangster like burning down my house or ask people to lock up my gate just because of my refusal to pay up. You should just give yourself a new name: STARFUG for providing such out of the world customer services and product. We might just turn to your enemy for better services soon! (FYI: i find M1 customer service better than what you have provide)

Javducation - 1/8/07

noreply@blogger.com (jav) — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 14:12:00 +0000

Been a long time since i last did Javducation mostly the reason due to, too tried to even touch the papers to look at news. But nevertheless, i gonna start picking up the papers and start this online education running again.

Once again i learn:

1) that blogger not only serve as a place for blogging, recording down your daily happenings or dull s in life, it also serve as a place to find your missing friend. <link here>

2) that if you happen to have a friend who natural reflex reaction was to grab your arm and try to fracture it, chances of you going home with a broken arm is high.

3) that guys, if you date a girl out and do not wish to send the girl back home, simply ask her how's she going back, if she say she is going to take a bus at the bus stop nearby, simply wave goodbye to her and walk the opposite direction.

4) that bus fare is gonna cost a minimum $1 upon boarding very soon in the near future. GST hike, bus fare hike, expenses hike but never your pay.

5) That some people can achieved orgasm by going to the dentist, maybe plucking out wisdom tooth can be orgasmic too.

<link here>

Extract:

A MAN, on his first visit to a polyclinic, made lewd remarks and obscene noises while the woman dentist was treating him.
She ignored him but later made a police report.

On Wednesday, odd-job worker Benjamin Lim Chy Meng, 38, pleaded guilty to insulting the modesty of the 28-year-old dentist.

He was fined $1,500.

Lim had gone to the polyclinic on July 10 last year at about 11.35am. While the dentist was scaling his teeth, he started to make obscene noises, saying it was orgasmic.

5) that in UK, a typist thumb cost more than a soldier's leg. If you are a typist and you HURT your thumb, you get $1.5M. However, if you are a soldiers' who LOSE your leg, you only get $177k, so is it because a thumb cost more than a leg or just because soldiers got a cheap life compare to a typist?

6) that it's ironic that we are encouraged to make more babies but some people (e.g. celebrity) got her contract suspended just because she's 7th month pregnant.

It has been awhile...

noreply@blogger.com (jav) — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 14:00:00 +0000

Sorry to my viewer, been quite awhile since i last post an entry. Been really busy with national service involving with all sort of parade you can think of. National Day Parade being part of it of course. Well its coming to an end and i'm getting kinda more breathing space right now, look out for this space again for frequent entry by me in the near future.

In the meantime just sit back and relax, keep a lookout for the continue of 'Javducation' .

noreply@blogger.com (jav) — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 12:17:00 +0000

This week i have learned:

1) That falling off from a 3rd floor HDB parapet could land yourself with a broken leg and spine, count yourself lucky not to lose your life.

2) That living in the urban for a long time can make you a newbie to the jungle. True, i got more leg injuries training in Tekong during my BMT than attending an intensive soccer training.

3) That i wouldn't want to spend $9.50 and 58 minutes of my weekend watching a movie about rashes and other diseases.

4) That nowadays the numbers of paedophile in Singapore is increasing, even a 9 years old girl can get pregnant.

5) That i will try to apply for a job at Changi airport when they have install the lastest X-Ray scanner that can see almost everything on the body.

6) That the society is getting more and more messy, 4 days ago, i read about how a 9 years old girl got pregnant. Today i saw an article about brother marrying sister. INCEST you called it.

7) That we are encouraged to be 'cool' to have 'cool' product that can be competed against top brand in Italy. Crocodiles vs. Lactose?

8) That we should have a dating club as CCA to promote dating. Quite an idea as the nation is experiencing low birth rate, low sex frequent,low marriage rate but high GST, high income tax, high transport fare, high COE.

9) That other than promoting dating, the government is also encouraging gambling like mahjong, next time don't need to go till Macau to gamble already, just find your usual gambling kahkis and you can just gamble away at void deck.

10) That for working adults, there is this illness call Monday Blues, as for NSF, they have this illness call Sunday Blues. Maybe listening to country songs like Beautiful Sunday will work.

Till then, goodbye.

TVB actress and actor coming to Singapore

noreply@blogger.com (jav) — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 11:49:00 +0000

Was surfing website while eating dinner and saw this advertisement online and being a fanatic fan of TVB Hong Kong drama, i decided to post this up. For those who really got nothing to do this coming Saturday, feel free to go for it. Chasing after stars is not my cup of tea and furthermore, this sat is the 10th: Payday and upcoming IT show!

My 100th posting - Ninja Obstacle Course

noreply@blogger.com (jav) — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 06:34:00 +0000

If you can make it pass this set of obstacle course, Standard Obstacle Course (SOC) is nothing to you.

i don't think commando or any other well trained soldier can clear all these obstacle. Maybe Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) should replace their SOC with these set of obstacle to train soldiers.

Javducation - Happy Valentine Lunar New Year

noreply@blogger.com (jav) — Sat, 17 Feb 2007 08:05:00 +0000

Computer down for a week with weekend duty to cover, what's more can i ask for? But nevertheless i still learn:

1) That i have this 'auntie, uncle come buy this shirt, buy this shoe' look. Its not once but FIVE times during different occasion i been asked whether there is a size M for this shirt or is there a different colour for this bag.

2) That its bad enough not to have a date from the opposite sex during valentine day, but it worst enough when you are being scolded a 'pu bor' by your fellow friend when you ask him for a bachelor nights out.

3) That the name 林志源 is a good name to market your bak kwa (barbecued meat).

4) That have u ever wondered why is the chinese name for Darlie toothpaste is 黑人牙膏 when the man on the toothpaste is a white?

5) That if you do not want to queue up to buy bak kwa, you can always ask you fellow workers to queue up for you.

6) That wasting time queuing up to buy bak kwa on your birthday can be consider meaningful.

7) That one can even take leave from work just to queue up to buy bak kwa. Only Chinese New Year then can eat bak kwa?

Excerpt:

'Ms Chin, a 21-year-old accountant had taken leave from work
to spend day with her boyfriend

" Its quite meaningful spending today like this. This bak kwa will be a wonderful treat for our friends and relatives during Chinese New Year," she said.

8) That NTUC got another new source of revenue other than their entertainment, foodfare, Fairprice and that's banking. Sooner or later, we might even see NTUC opening up casinos, nightclubs and even prostitution ring. Shop and gamble at the same time!

9) That every year i got the same old new year wish, be it New Year or Lunar New Year, i always got the same wish. But still, every new year, same old wish, when will mine be granted?

10) That 2007 is gonna be a tougher year than 2006 i feel but nevertheless, Happy Lunar New Year to all my readers all there. Enjoy the festive season!

2) That you must have at least RM10 (SGD 4.50) to go Malaysia.

3) That you cannot be considered a Singaporean if you enter Malaysia with less than RM 10.

4) That a robber will refuse to rob you and instead whack you for 45 minutes if you bring RM 10 or less to Johor Bahru (J.B). That a robber will refuse to rob you and instead whack you for 45 minutes if you bring RM 10 or less to Johor Bahru (J.B).That a robber will refuse to rob you and instead whack you for 45 minutes if you bring RM 10 or less to Johor Bahru (J.B).

5) That after a Singaporean was whacked for having only RM10 in his wallet, 2 days later another Singaporean was robbed RM 0.50. Did i mentioned that a robber will refuse to rob you and instead whack you for 45 minutes if you bring RM10 or less to J.B?

6) That if you can't find stardom from teaching like what i mentioned in my previous entries of Javducation, quit your job, be a pimp and you could find instant stardom on the news.

7) That touring around Kota Tinggi in a speed boat cost only $2.20.

8) That i finally know the reason behind the chicken crossing the road. Because they have moved to a BIGGER and better place. (Refer to main picture)

9) That income gap in Singapore will narrow despite the increase in GST, income tax, road tax, transport fare, shit tax, blah blah blah. I wonder how the gap will narrow with all the tax increase.

10) That in Beijing, its very worth it to hire a housekeeper because he/she is paid only SGD 240 a month but must know how to speak english, cook and know martial art. 3 functions for the price of 1, battery and accessories each sold seperately.

This week i have learnt:

1) That a piece of Matador cost only $2 in Australia.

<Full link>

Excerpt:

The Matador anti-armour rocket launcher is a 90mm single-use weapon designed by the Singaporean army.

The launcher - already fired and therefore not an immediate threat - was found at a recycling centre attached to a tip at Yeppoon by local man James Maloney.

2) That the different between an automatic transmission taxi and a manuel transmission taxi is $0.20. I simply cannot feel the different in comfort but the different in heart pain.

3) That there are 2 groups of people exist in this world. The 1st group fight against fate while the latter will always concede defeat to fate. I am still deciding which group i belong to.

4) That the term for rewarding an Olympic, Asian, Commonwealth or Sea Games medallist is cash but for world champion is Priceless because they are simply rewarded with NOTHING.

5) That your promotion at work is based on the degree of your body odour. The heavier your odour, the less likely you will be promoted. So ladies and gentlemen out there, please gret ready to put on your cologne and perfume when you are talking to your superior or supervisor.

6) That a person must be blind if he is paid a lump sum ($1.46 million/week) to work in a foreign country and yet he can say it's not for the money. Can someone pay that amount to say that sentence?

7) That i will find it hard to pay for a calender full of naked posing women in their 50s who are bigger and rounder in the wrong places even its for charity.

8) That this is an interesting answer i got by asking my friend this question:

Q: Would you choose a fat or ugly gf?
A: Fat. Cos weight loss is cheaper than plastic surgery if you really mind either of them.

Quite true.

9) That when you are losing stardom and gaining weight, the only way to get back your fame is to go out not wearing any undergarment.

10) That as you get older, life get complicated.

More to come next week...

Haven't been doing a decent entry because was too busy enjoying myself going on holiday, meeting up with pals and playing game at home but nevertheless still managed to read up some interesting news.

I have learnt:

1) That it is safer to stand and flim down a stabbing incident than to help or even run away from it.

2) That you can actually fill up your stomach when you are hungry by smelling cat urine. Money saving tatics.

3) That drama such as CSI are encouraging more criminal to commit crime.

4) That there is a man who can survived on half a bottle of BBQ sauce and water for 24 days. Send him for rangers course please, he will survived.

5) That when there is too many teenagers blogging nowadays and you want to start a new trend, you can always resort to pasting your journal entry on a wall and we call it canal blogging. Interesting vocabulary.

6) That there is no much things as you are too short to work, you are only too short to work only when you are choosy about job.

7) That when you were once a popular young popstar earning millions by cutting albums after albums and your popularity drop after you have been caught for the wrong things (e.g. smoking) by the paparrazi and after giving birth, your popularity drop further, you have the tendancy to go out on a street not wearing underwear in order to get your popularity back.

8) That sometime you get more than what you paid for.

9) That when a guy consume pills to solve his manhood problem, he get more than solving his manhood problem such as being blind in a bid to solve his manhood problem.

Excrept:

HSA says the "Santi Bovine Penis Erecting Capsule" is not a licensed product and has been found to contain Sildenafil, a substance that comes under the Poisons Act.

It says Sildenafil should only be taken when prescribed by a medical doctor.

Side-effects may include sudden loss of vision, or death in patients with heart conditions.

10) That a day on leave is like spending an hour in camp. Time passes by very fast when you are doing nothing.

4) That GST is rising to 7% and Civil Servant pay is rising at the same time but not mine and not any white collar workers in Singapore. See the link?

5) That rising the GST is a way to help the poor, then how can the poor be helped when they have to contribute to the rise also?

6) That it is possible to use internet in the middle of Australia's desert.

<Link>

7) That yet another teacher in Singapore have found stardom by dating his own student. Find yourself stardom by becoming a teacher can be the next theme to attract more youngster to the education business.

8) That only authorities can set up sex related business and not private agency; look at the sexpo in Suntec and you will get what i mean. Sex sells everywhere in this world.
