Spring Cleaning

wow.. never realised my room is so full of dust until I started to use my rag to wipe my shelves. That is the retribution I get for cleaning my room once a year. Is it guys or is it me? Where got people so nuar wait for one year then clean their room one time. Hahah..


Anyway, trying to revamp my room decoration. Any ideas? Recently, I saw a very nice drawing done by a Chinaman who is setting up his stall in Vivo City. The drawing really captured my attention: it was a tree with loads of leves branching out. A very westernized drawing by a Chinaman. After he explained then I realized that it was a paper cutting. Mind you, to cut a complicated picture without snapping up the tiny frail portions lying out isn't an easy task, it takes lots of concentration and professional cutting skills. I imagined if I was the person who is tasked to come up with this cutting, I might have taken months, and wasted paper amounting to the number of leaves in the picture! Even programming a machine to do it will take years I guess, so sometimes we just can't beat human beings for some tasks.


Impressive, right? I don't mind selling you guys cheaper if you guys can count the leave and let me know how many. Hahaha.

Reservist (14 jan 08 - 18 jan 08)

Happy New YEar 2008!

So around 4 years after my ORD (17/12/03), I was called up for my first reservist. Damn it, why didnt they forget me? Actually, I was looking forward to this one week event. Really wonder how the SAF has changed after 4 years. But guess it will be pretty much the same, or it wouldn't be SAF.


Dug out my duffle bag to check whether the spiders had wrapped how many rounds of their web on my stuff. The smell of army(grass + dust) can be sensed the moment I opened my bag. Brought back a few memories.




Anyway, will be meeting up with my good friend during our national service for the reservist. Glad that he will be going to the training with me, after 4 years. Still remember vividly the day both of us were posted to the signal company and the s**t that awaited us. Hmm.. army days are really bitter sweet when you think of them and you know you will never go back to those gruelsome, nightmarish hours of saikang.


Got to sleep early tonight.. coz I foresee tomorrow will doze away during the boring sessions..

-_-zZZZ
