  • Let the Page Load for the song

    I decided to blog this entry because...

    I want to remind myself and to those who read this that...
    "The One to question is a fool for 5 mins, The one who doesnt is a fool forever"

    I was at the MRT yesterday with my dear,
    Sending her back after a great meal of Tepanyaki at Sakae Sushi at the Airport...
    There as we went into the train, I saw a CPU in the middle of the train.
    A whole computer system, just the CPU unit left all alone in the middle of the train.
    Looking around, there were 3 people who would seem to be the owner.
    First, The woman sitting closest to it, middle aged minding her own business.
    Two, The woman standing in front of us, facing our direction but away from the CPU
    Three, 2 kids who were acting gayish giving me wierd looks (or prob directed at dear)
    The strange thing was it was in the Middle of the train....

    So I began my own thought analysis.
    If I were someone who brought my CPU for servicing and I'm heading home on the train,
    I would most likely find a seat, place it between my legs or near me so that i could hold it.
    If i did not have a seat, I would stand near it, leaving it resting supported against the side.
    Would it be wise to leave it in the middle of the train while keeping an eye on it?
    Physics tells me there's an uncertainty in its stability since people are coming in and out,
    further more the CPU is heavy, leaving it subceptible to damage if it were to fall.
    After thinking through, it felt extremely wierd for this scenario.
    So ok is there a possibility that this CPU could be a suspicious item?
    Considering the train left from Changi Airport and was heading towards Raffles Place,
    Considering that no one seems to be looking after it or claiming ownership,
    Considering that its a CPU seemingly on the outside....
    In my mind, there is a possibility that this IS a suspicious item.
    Or maybe I'm just thinking too much.

    I told my dear about it, and she laughed.
    And I thought to myself hmmm, maybe I shouldnt bother since its just a CPU.
    I looked around, thinking "ah no one seems to bother. Maybe its just a CPU after all"
    Or maybe i was the only one who things its wierd that a CPU should be left unattended.
    I could have forgotten about it, and pretended it's alright.
    Even though the reminder on the train was to report suspicious articles...
    And perhaps, just perhaps someone else would find it suspicious and ask about it.
    Then i wouldnt have to embarass myself if my assumptions were wrong.
    But if I didn't find out who would?
    If no one dared to ask, or to make a fool of themselves, are we going to be safe for sure?

    So I went over to the woman closest to the CPU and asked,
    "Excuse me, does this CPU belong to you?"
    She said nope.
    then she pointed to the 2 kids.
    "So this is yours?"
    The kid nodded.
    Either he thought I was gay too and i was making a move on him,
    or he just thought I was stupid.

    Ok so I seemed a little wierd asking whether this CPU belongs to anyone.
    Heck, people could think I would try to take it away.
    But you know, though people may think its embarrassing or wierd,
    I feel better clearing my doubts.
    Maybe Singaporeans are too afraid to make a fool of themselves...
    At least I for one am sure to not be afraid to be that fool...
    Because my family and loved ones are near me and in this country,
    And I must do what I can to protect them,

    As a vigilent citizen of Singapore.
    (Notice I did not use the term soldier damn army. ugh)

    "Riddles are here Riddles are there,

    my work is done in Science everywhere.

    Wonder how they fare, how they shall overcome,

    the encoded secrets in my puzzles i've done.

    Alas fun, freedom and time will expire,

    with the dawning of the brand new semester.

    Quantum Mechanics, Maths Method and Biophysics too,

    all these things could bring me to my doom.

    Passion in CS:S in music and movie making,

    wont have the time in completing,

    the many things i once set out to do,

    Now remain again the things I wish I could do.

    Yet this holiday does not seem worthless or redundant,

    For within these 3 months, there are many things I've done.

    Appreciating God's beauty and the things he's given me,

    I can truely say there shall be better things to come"

    Recently went back to Anglo-Chinese School (Barker Road),
    to Train the school team for their World Cyber games Inter-school competition.
    Feels wierd that I went back as a "coach" in "Counter-strike" in my old secondery school.
    But it was great to see all our donation drives amounting to such a grand place.
    The school looks too different to remind me of ACS barker in older days.
    Perhaps the only thing that reminded me of the same place was the fact that,
    The vast carpark was once home to Soccer Havoc.
    Went to see the staff list and I recognised the teachers that influenced me.
    Miss Ving, now the HOD of Mathematics... thought me F math while i was doing A math.
    Mr Melvin Sim, now HOD of Science, brought my 35/100 grade to 95/100 years ago.
    Mr John Choo, HOD of Geog, failed everytest he gave me, got a B3 for geog in O levels.
    Mr Timothy Wong, HOD of Bio, I dropped Bio back then.
    and of course, Mr Eng Ng Chin, Principal and friend of ACS Barker.
    The guy who helped me get a place into ACJC.


    A poster I saw in the school. So cool...

    Been going to dear's home very often Always go there to see Shimi and Chomi or to sing free KTV.
     her parents are always so nice to me! in fact, her Dad was the guy who made all the custom jackets for my clan.
     and the end product looks so cool! Her mum's always giving
    me  herbal drinks to drink. Just like my mother too. Seems like
    they have some things in common. But its great to be around them. Can
    feel a sense of homely love in the atmosphere.
    And just last night, her mum brought me alot of stuff from her return from Malaysia!
    Chocolate biscuits, Mooncakes, pastaries and even a new home for Yuri!
    Too big for the cage though. So i've gotta go get a new Cage for Yuri too.

    And here's dear's back. Think this pic's cool...

    And here's the Jacket her Dad did for us.
    It's incredibly durable and comfortable.
    Made of excellent quality Material I would say

    The symbol and shape you see is the symbol of Chaos, and the letter's X and t and C make up the clan name, Xtreme ChaotiX!

    Well it looks cool and good enough. heh...

    Thanks to your dad and Carmin Pte.Ltmd dear!

    Cost quite cheap relative to other places too!

    And perhaps we could use the same mould,

    to make T shirts for our clan next time too.

    For now, its just great that the LAN team,

    has this jacket to wear.

    we'll need it... WCG finals is going to be very,

    VERY cold. ugh


    Oh well and when the semester starts not sure If i'll be staying in hostel.

    applied for PGP again, but they've put me on the waiting list.

    Haiz, God! Grant me a place when there's no place!

    Use the simple to confound the mighty father!

    I believe in you and put my faith in Christ who is IN me. Amen..
