[Some people never learn...]

And that would be me.

Installed SP2, and basically screwed everything up. My Nero and Divx both won't work, and they're both really important applications to me. Had to format and re-install without SP2 this time.

Now everything's a mess. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Shoulda had that drilled into my head by now.

[What a day...]

Went for a job interview today. On the way there, this bloodied man got onto the bus. Turns out, he had a motorcycle accident. Felt quite sorry for him. He was bleeding all over.

While waiting to be interview at the company, three guys walked in, and I overheard from their conversation that one of them's on the front page of the Straits Times today. What're the odds? "Meeting" the front page guy the day he's on the front page.

[Idiots...]

Went down to Range *again* today for AOH. They had re-shoot some footage for the safety video. We went down at 11am, and waited for the film crew till 5pm! To top it all off, marshallers are not even required for the shoot.

Fucking morons.

[Time's up...]

Found a guppy fry in my tank last night. Added it to the trap that's currently holding all the albino fries. This morning, I found another one. Then, just after lunch, I notice the female guppy I separated in another tank finally gave birth. She's a big one...I expect maybe 50 fries? I don't know how many there's gonna be, but it's not unusal for a guppy her size to drop 80 fries at one go.

On leave today and tomorrow. Needed the break. Army Open House rehearsal from Thursday to Saturday. I honestly don't know what we're rehearsing for. It's a simple enough concept...Civilians come and fire the GPMG, and we get to clean the weapon for them after that. Yay.... *NOT*

$#%$@^

[So tired that I couldn't even sleep...]

The past 2 days has been real tiring. Yesterday, there was a rehersal for Army Open House, announced at the last minute. I was the only one among all the people involved to be around, so I went there alone, with people from other companies that I don't know. And it lasted for one whole day. Felt really crappy. To top it off, I had to take care of the armskote also when we came back, since I was the only armskote man. At least I got half day off for it....Since I was the only one who went.

Today, we went for the Tiger Trail fun run at 3rd Div. It wasn't too bad, except that we woke up at 4am, and left for 3rd Div at 4:30am. Dead beat now....

Oh yeah...And a sergeant from my company attempted suicide. And he didn't even die. What a loser.

[And another thing...]

Today's National Day. As if I give a fuck.

[X marks the spot...]

This is not my style...I don't usually do this. But if I don't get it off my chest soon, I think I'd explode. This happened a while ago, but I'm still pretty burned up about it.

Ok...So there's this guy. We'll call him X. He was from my company, but was attached out and came back only recently. Since he's been back, he hasn't done much, mostly sleeping the day away in his underwear while the rest of us has jobs to do.

Due to some last minute thing, someone has to do guard duty on a Wednesday and as well the following Saturday. X was "asked" to do both days, but he "refused to do both days". Oh....I see...We can refuse to do guard duty now.

Then I got the call. I wasn't very coherent as I was sleeping. I was asked if I could do the one on Wednesday. I said ok, behing incoherent and all. Only when I'm fully awake then I realised that that would mean I did one extra duty for no good reason for the month of July. Although in the end I was the extra guy for that day so I didn't have to perform the duty, but I was still pretty pissed that I was *supposed* to have done duty that day. And the fact that X could "refuse" to perform duty. People such as him (non-driver, non-ORD) had to perform 4 duties for the month of July. He was only allocated 2, and he "refused"?

Moving on....So he came back, and he didn't have a place to sleep. So he came to the 3rd floor, to my bunk. Let me clarify....We're all supposed to be sleeping on the 2nd floor. I went up to the 3rd floor because there was no TV there, and people only went up there to sleep. No one made much of a ruckus up there, which was cool for me because I can't fall asleep when there's noise. I tend to listen to it and get all alert again.

So X came up to the 3rd floor. First thing he did to piss me off was to talk for hours on his phone. Fuck you asshole...Go to sleep already! And for some reason, he *has* to have the lights on while he was chatting. He couldn't have turned the lights off.

Strike 2 boy.....Strike 2.

Then, the final blow. When I went back on Thursday night for the parade on Friday, I saw that he's moved a TV up to the 3rd floor. Fuck you, you son-of-a-bitch. I don't want a fucking TV in my bunk you asswipe. Now the 3rd floor is no different from the 2nd floor. Lots of noise, lights that wouldn't get turned off, and generally irritating people about.

Strike 3. You're out. I've got my eye on you. You have no idea, but you're so fucked now.

Now....Guy Y. He preaches about Buddhism....He preaches about karma. He also bullies the smallest guy in our company. That's a karma-preacher for you. This happened on Thursday night as well. I killed a cockroach in the 2nd floor bunk, like any other normal human being. He went nuts...He has this thing about not harming insects and other creatures (karma). I got rid of the dead cockroach, and then he shouted at me to get rid of the sticky stuff that got crushed out of the cockroach when I killed it, saying ants would come and the bunk would be full of it.

Bullshit.

Everyone knows that's not what it's about. What's his fucking problem anyway? What's he? A cockroach crusader? Or did I just murder one of his kind? You preach about Buddha, about karma, but you bully the weak. And what did you do when OC was toturing the lizard? That's right, you laughed with him. What did you do when OC sticked the fork into the rat? That's right, nothing. Fuck you, you piece of shit. There's a special place in hell reserved for a piece of shit like you.

That feels good. I feel better now. Well...Not really. I'm still out for blood. And I hope both X and Y sees this.

Fuck you losers.

[How's that again...?]

Got a funny phone call yesterday, from someone I know. Called me on my home number, and asked me where was I.

Eh?

Might be activated today, just like the other time before I went to School of Armour. At least this time they told us about it. Hope it doesn't happen. Getting activated is a real drag.

[The weight of the world...]

Bought a new Epson printer on Thursday night. Decided to switch brands as my last two Canons were killed by the same problem. The Epson ink cartridge, compared to Canon, is like rocket science with it's IC chips and accurate remaining ink monitoring.

On leave yesterday, but had to return to camp for a crappy National Day observant parade. All we did was say the silly pledge. I booked out straight after it was over, and in the evening, I went cycling in CCK with James. It was fun, but I wiped out a lot. :(

[Aragh....]

Got so engrossed with my aquarium that I missed the start of Amazing Race. :(

[And the grand total is...]

...24 albino fries!

This brings along another headache. If I release the female back into the tank with the non-albinos and she mates with them, she might not deliver albinos anymore. In a way, unless I keep the albinos isolated, there is a good chance that the albino line will die out.

Oh well...Who cares? 24 albino fries!!

[Surprise!]

The albino guppy I bought gave birth this morning. There are two albino fries right now....And I don't think she's done yet. This is great! The guy who sold them to me told me the female's about to give birth soon, and he was right!

[Fucked up...]

Just got a call from camp. Need to go back on Thursday night as there's a parade on Friday morning. Hello....I'm on leave you numbnuts! How the fuck are we supposed to clear our leave if we keep on getting called back like this?

2 and a half months more of this shit before I can spit in their faces.

[Meant to be...Supposed to be...]

Took leave from Wednesday till Friday. Because of the National Day holiday on Monday, I'd only need to go back to camp on next Monday night.

Went to my optician to make new contact lens today. Made a new pair of glasses as well. The total bill came up tp $450! Looks like I'm gonna be living on bread and butter next month. :( The daughter of the shop owner was hot.... :D

Bought a pair of albino guppies for $6. It's going to be challenging to breed them....Let's see what happens.

[Success!!]

I managed to install the air curtain tube I bought a while ago for my aquarium. When I first got it, it killed all the guppies in my tank. So I stowed it somewhere, feeling pissed. Recently I got the idea to perhaps soak it in water, and perhaps whatever toxins would get lowered in concentration and eventually it'd be toxin-free.

I put it into a smaller tank with a few guppies for testing yesterday. They were all fine, as well the rest of them in my aquarium after I installed the air curtain yesterday. :D
