-.-'

Just to reiterate my previous post. Was walking home when a car suddenly stopped in front of a busstop where I was at. The driver lowered his window and guess what, just to ask me for directions??!!!!. "Where is NTUC Resort ah?" "Just U-turn and turn right..(you poor sob,@#$%!...wanted to say that)."

Unrelated: Was walking home one fine day through the park when I saw a little brown kitten . Seeing that it was quite a cute thingie, I petted it for a while before proceeding on. Surprisingly, it followed me for the next 300 m. Sadly, it never came home with me.

Directions

Was minding my own business at a little corner of Orchard MRT. With arms folded, I was "fishing" with my eye power and admiring the scene of the morning crowd, specially half of them. (while waiting for Ginway) =D.

My concentration was broken when a lost soul came to approach me for directions. For the umpteenth time, I have been asked by people to direct them to anywhere and everywhere. Japanese, Filipinos, Singaporeans, etc all nationalities. What the heck did I do that always make people come ask directions from me (there's like a ton of others waiting at Orchard as well; and they had to come find me)?? And I thought I was inconspicuous enough. Do I look like a MAP to you? Does my nose have a shape of a compass? Like, "Where is CK Tang ah?" "Ommmph..ummm...I feel...that it is that way, where my nose twitches..."

Please, don't approach me for directions next time. I am

NOT A MAP, and I will and growl, bark and bite the next time a bugger ask me for "where is blah blah blah...".

Of Commandos and Men

Last week, a new batch of commandos came to the humble school of signals to learn about the vocation of IC2. Saw some of my friends there. (can't disclose, since their personal particulars are considered confidential). They are really a disciplined lot; the first time they marched to the cookhouse, you could hear a pin drop as everyone stared at their jungle hats. No one messes with the commandos.

Their march is impeccable, plus they make it a point to make their cheers audible to the whole world. Once you see a red beret, you immediately give respect to the wearer.

Legend goes that the record set for SOC came from that elite bunch.

..."SOC...very EASY, IPPT...always GOLD..."

Movies Galore

Disappointed with the Kingdom of Heaven. Thought it would be as good as Ong Sor Fern's review or the trailer. House of Wax is a sick show. My friend Eddie almost revealed his breakfast to me; he refused to eat lunch afterwards.

Now my hope is in the Force. It definitely deserves more than 3 1/2 out of 5 stars from Life!. It lived up to my expectation. For those still unpersuaded by the Force, convince you this trailer might...
Exciting Star Wars trailer.
(it is the last of the saga, and since George Lucas is fed rich with fanatics, he would want to make his swansong the best.)
