My day at "work" and a trip to an IT mall

1. I had the soundest sleep among my "colleagues"; No one heard me snore; No one had more sleep than I did; And I was the first to wake from our alarms =)
The greatest miracle of all, I had no mosquitoes bites and they had several...

2. I saw the cutest gal today =)

3. A Raymond who does not listen to my offers to let him slack, is a Raymond who regrets it within the next 30 minutes. Twice. ;)

4. This was asked of me and Tang, "When's your ROD date?", asked Mr Alphonese
"Not so fast, we only done 4~5 times" we replied.
A moment of stunned silence as everyone realised the reply was unexpected.
"Nah!!", Mr Bassanio replied for us, holding our passes. "Reservist!!"

For older NSMen, ROD means completion of the 2 years national service.
For the younger generation, it is now called ORD and ROD now means the complete end of all NS liability.


5. Rome: Total War with its expansion is bundled for $54.90. Exactly the same price which I paid for the main game itself..

6. Battle For Middle Earth 2 is selling for $54.90. The collector's edition is $59.90.

7. San Bookstore sells Computer Gaming World at $19.90, cheaper than shops at Tampinese!!

8. The sort order of the books still eludes me...

9. People for some reason, likes to look/stare at uniformed guys standing on the train/bus.

Btw, I'm able to leave "work" for a while to attend a wedding.
Hope I don't forget to bring anything tomorrow.

    There's always something about the camouflage uniform. It inspires some, intimidates others. Brings back memories... for me, at least.

    I also like to look at the guys in uniform. Their sloppiness can be amazing. My thinking is a lot older than I am and I always think that uniforms of any kind should always be worn with pride. Once I saw this NCC kid wearing No.4. His sleeves are all the way down, and then folded up in half up his elbow, exposing the underside of the uniform. His trousers have no gutters. His boot laces are loose, and his beret is used for carrying his water bottle. He's my clear winner for Sloppiest Dressed Soldier award. Not even seasoned reservist guys dress as "well" as he does! Not even close!

    Sloppy 4 with shining boots? That's a first. Then again it's Joran, so it's ok :-)
