Sorry for the lack of updates. Guess my schedule is getting more packed than usual.

Just got myself a Nikon D50 DSLR and am enjoying some nice pictures I'm getting out of it. Just one for example, taken during my KL trip on the 19th:

For the moment it's lots of urban shots, but I'm progressing from there.

Meanwhile, F.I.R's 飞行部落 album is going to be released tomorrow but for those who actually follow what's on the Internet, the album has been leaked and released into the wild 2 days ago, and of course I've picked it up. Very nice album, now I just await the second press which comes with MTV DVD's, just like the 龚诗嘉 and 南拳妈妈 albums which comes with the MTV's.

For now, I'll just share one of the songs, 飞行部落, for a taste of their new album. One thing though, it's not as rock as before, but it's still pretty much F.I.R style.

I had enough of my mum, who is trying to bypass me and meddling with my friends. The objective is simple: she doesn't want me to get married, 'cos firstly we're of different surnames so no use having babies that won't follow her surname; secondly, she can get to keep more of my money for herself, or even demand all but just enough for day-to-day expenses. If you constantly try to criticize and make noise about the one-grand purchases I'm making now (simply 'cos it's the season to buy & upgrade stuff now for next time and I'm buying everything together) instead of giving the money to you and rant-threaten to end our ties and find someone else who can give you that money....... I can't be bothered. And don't try to deny & cover it up with more twists and turns later.

Same goes to those girls who try to meddle with the girl I'm considering just because they are jealous. I can tell the type of person you are and whether there's synergy and whether we can have a long relationship. If I said no, it's clearly no; if you insist, it'll end in a month's time naturally, and we'll all be worse after that. And worst if you think she should not be with you and try to take things into your hands. I've lost relationships to that before and I'll not let that happen, hear that. If you insist, then 连朋友都没得做.

爱护森林
词曲：天保
编曲：张培圣
演唱：Sweety

你可以为所欲为
静静拈花惹草
才不会在乎会被我抓到
我知道你这种人
劝也劝无效
就打算干脆放牛吃草
你不爱刷牙不常洗澡
日夜颠倒
随便找个男人都比你好
哪天你忽然后悔
找我找不到
我也一定要活得比你好

你爱护这片森林
放弃我这根草
我受够你的胡说八道
你爱护这片森林
放弃我这根草
我受够你的胡说八道
你是一只贪心的啄木鸟

This is funny only us Singaporeans can come up with this, even an Englishman could not construct sentences using numeric...

Ah Lek was asked to make a sentence using 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10. Not only did he do it 1 to 10, he did it again from 10 back to 1. This is what he came up with... 1 day I go 2 climb up a 3 outside a house to peep. But the couple saw me, so I panic and 4 down. The man rush out and wanted to 5 with me. I run until I fall 6 and throw up. So I go into 7 eleven and grab some 8 to throw at him. Then I took a 9 and try to stab him. 10 God he run away.

So, I put the 9 back and pay for the 8 and left 7 eleven. Next day, I call my boss and say I am 6 . He said 5, tomorrow also no need to come back 4 work. He also asks me to climb a 3 and jump down. I don't understand, I am so nice 2 him but I don't know what he 1.

Back from a long field day.

I've gotten my E61 yesterday evening and I could not wait to unleash it to do the most promising thing possible: always-on mobile MSN. =D

The results were good, no dropped signals with GPRS, it stayed on throughout.. for 12 hours. The E61's 1500mAh battery kept it running all the while, even with quite intensive chatting, but the main worry is that the antenna could get too hot if you kept it in your pocket for too long, it needs to be kept in your hand once in a while and let it 'breathe'.

Went for Jolene's birthday party today. Hani and Jasby couldn't make it, so I was there alone. So sads. I could only, erm, mix around with some of her family members? Yeah. Got through it, no worries, but just wished my mouth was in a better condition. It deteroiated a little since last Sunday and is not exactly improving either.

Be trying out Widgets soon. Those that fetch nuggets of information from the net and display on the main screen kind. =D

The B9TL Wheelchair-Accessible Buses (WABs) were out for the second day only, but not all were having a smooth day. SBS7304D broke down opposite White Sands Primary School at 10.45pm, on its last trip of the day from Pasir Ris to St. Michael's.

According to the driver, the driver on morning shift had the same problem, but he managed to get it started again. This time, the driver had no luck, the intelligent display kept showing "STOP, ENGINE FAILURE!" when you try to start the machine.

The mechanics came, were feeling clueless at trying to rectify a new kind of bus which they don't do everyday (so far), manually restarted the bus successfully on the second try with the switch at the back of the engine. I had the opportunity to see them at work, but my camera is crap when it comes to night shots. Still, I managed to salvage the engine compartment photo, and admire its inline 6-cylinder 9.8-litre engine (painted in green).

Breakdowns are everyday occurences, new buses or old buses, but let's hope the WAB will have an easier third day. =)

For those who need a description of the parts of the engine:

Brrrrr...

Is it time to get a Nikon D50 and start some proper photography hands-on?

Or should I go learn driving that kind of stuff?

.........

Or maybe I should try to troubleshoot the phone whose hard disk disappears after I listen to music for hours in one shot.

And oh, heatiness hit my tongue this morning. Bleah.

And I need to go to friendly shops to get a certain MP3 disc for combined requests from Fireice and Michele.

And I need to work.

And so many things to sort out in my mind.

...........................

Sigh. Taking charge is not easy at times.

Just came back from Light of Atlantis 3rd Anniversary outing.

It was a pleasant experience. I think I should keep a mental note since, yes, I have a goldfish's memory when it comes to small details.

At the office set in an industrial building in Bishan, this is where the Light of Atlantis shone. Stepping into the place, I could feel my energies and that of the place clash. It was not easy coming to terms with it and trying to get a feel of the energies of the place, especially after having gone on a gruelling night out before and a loner morning shift to handle, but I managed to.

After taking a breather in the form of refreshments and short chats, we went to try out the Psychic Board. It is simply an Ouija board, psychic talking boards which have been used to communicate with the higher self, spirits that have "crossed over", or with other divine entities like angels, by seekers wishing to obtain information, guidance, and knowledge from invisible realms.

After a short first round, I was the first one to ask a question in the second round. I asked about the zodiac sign of my future wife. It took almost 5 minutes before it could get an answer; the planchette simply refused to move. During that time, other questions were posed by other members of that session without response, then suddenly the planchette went one big round around all the signs and ended up hovering around Aquarius. After that, I tried to concentrate and feel the pulse of the spirit and I felt very tired. Indeed, the spirit communicated to me that it is tired so I was wishing that the session could end sooner, but everyone wanted to have a piece of its mind so that session took quite long.

Sadly, after that there were people who weren't serious and started asking about World Cup and that sort of stuff. It occured to me that there is this saying that when you try to communicate with spirits, never ask for favours because, what if they want something back in return? Indeed, I could feel the tiredness of the spirit (it actually asked to sit behind me before we left, like all those spirits which I've manage to befriend) but around that time, I went to have a private and brief tarot session with Oceanos, the Master of the Light of Atlantis.

The main card that showed up was The Emperor. Fate dictates that I take charge of my own life, as far as I'd wish to leave it to nature. Those who knew the kind of stuff I've been through will know that I gave up setting any directions after I left HJC. Though I can sense the sentiments the angels and spirits have been telling me, to see it again in real forms.... sigh. Okay.

There are 3 more cards. I didn't see what they were, but he explained that I had something on my mind that I want to finish or complete but had been abruptly ended. I wondered if it read right about my worry for my ex, whom I felt I had let down and couldn't provide for, or is it my studies? Because, education-wise, I'm happy with what I have currently; upgrading is more realistic if done in the future.

Career-wise, I'd be much happier and at harmony if I could find a job which I liked instead of a job that pays handsomely but is shitty. Okay.

Love-wise, he read correctly that I'm trying to seek out the special one out of all the friends (and friendship) I've had, and that one of them would come from that same group. My mind turned to Aquarius. The card also said that the person I'm thinking of is also fond of myself. But whether I had the confidence to follow what was indicated on the card is another thing, I suppose. Is she ready? Am I? What if I had read it wrongly.

Well, everything's right. God has blessed me with all the spiritual powers needed by me to get through all these and protect my loved ones and friends, and he's saying, I'll leave it to you to decide your fate, I'll be all behind you.

Makes me kind of want to cry, but then, I suppose I'll feel better being around friends and being out for the moment, if just to give my mind time to consolidate these. =)

The brick's hard disk crashed again. Oh no. Now I can't even format it... I might have to head down to Nokia Care Centre soon.

Had a lot of new acquaintances this week, it kept me busy. There is one common thing they all have, that is, they are at the turning point of their lives, and for some reason I came into the picture under such circumstances. I'm thankful that I'm able to help and console some of them.

That's about it. =)

Local forums and blog sites are abuzz with news that Starhub is intentionally meddling with the TV signals of Malaysian channel
RTM1 that is being fed over the frequency segment for free-to-air channels, with an ticker explaining that "Please do not adjust your television set. Signal quality is inherent in the programme feed received by Starhub. We apologize for the inconvenience caused."

It's time to boycott Starhub. Enough said.

since i'm so bored with sitting down and typing, or in any case, sitting down anywhere for too long, maybe i can try to motivate myself by posting interesting self-taken photos, lor.

yeah, my phone camera is lousy, but i'm actually wishing that one nikon d50 will drop down from the skies... that kind of thing. hmmm.

so here we go, a picture of how many gullible tried to use the machine hoping that all the bottles will come down one shot. for regular users of this bottled drink machine that comes with ez-link card payment, we know the mechanism of it. it's not gonna work! =P

this picture is taken at orchard mrt.
