Pink Martini - Sympathique

Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage
Le soleil passe son bras par la fentre
Les chasseurs ma porte
Comme les p'tits soldats
Qui veulent me prendre

Je ne veux pas travailler
Je ne veux pas djeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier
Et puis je fume

Dj j'ai connu le parfum de l'amour
Un million de roses n'embaumerait pas autant
Maintenant une seule fleur dans mes entourages
Me rend malade

Je ne veux pas travailler
Je ne veux pas djeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier
Et puis je fume

Je ne suis pas fire de a
Vie qui veut me tuer
C'est magnifique tre sympathique
Mais je ne le connais jamais

Je ne veux pas travailler
Non
Je ne veux pas djeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier
Et puis je fume

Je ne suis pas fire de a
Vie qui veut me tuer
C'est magnifique tre sympathique
Mais je ne le connais jamais

Je ne veux pas travailler
Non
Je ne veux pas djeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier
Et puis je fume

Inspired and motivated




http://up.nickpan.com/videos.html


SG rollers ! Download those videos, footages of skate sessions around Singapore. Truly amazed and inspired by them ! I want to do handrail grind soon !

out

Reached home at around 5.15am. Chinablack was fully packed with people, we queued for around 2hr just to get in ! The bartender gave us each a cup of free drink while we were queuing up. Music wise, they were playing 'rojak' - a mix of hip-hop, progressive and breakbeats. When i got in, i thought it was progessive night caused Iio- rapture (some prog mix) was played, but the next tune was a hip-hop song cross-faded in untactfully. It was a big turn off. From then on, the whole live set became 'rojak'. The DJ did some off beat beat juggling and some tunes wasn't even blended in well. lousy man. During the later part of the night, i caught him yawning his way through. Haha. The overall crowd was quite good, clubbers were grooving and showing off their best dance moves on the podium and dance floor.

Before going to Chinablack, i met up with my secondary school friends for movie, dinner and coffee-bean. Infection was such a lousy film, i would rate it 1/10. 1, for the sound effects, stealth portion and disgusting renditions. The 3 magical words ' shut up lar' thrown to a bunch of noisy and rowdy girls by an ah-beng prior to the start of the movie was very effective. 1 clap for him! The coffee-bean session brought back our secondary school days memories as we pulled back images from the past. Teachers and school mates who had made footprints in our minds were relinquished during the session. It was a good talk i should say, after not seeing each other for quite some time.

En apesanteur

Calogero
--------
En apesanteur
-------------

J'arrive à me glisser
Juste avant que les portes ne se referment
Elle me dit "quel étage"
Et sa voix me fait quitter la terre ferme
Alors
Les chiffres dansent
Tout se mélange
Je suis en tête-à-tête avec un ange

En apesanteur
Pourvu que les secondes soient des heures
En apesanteur
Pourvu qu'on soit les seuls
Dans cet ascenseur

Elle arrange ses cheveux
J'ai le coeur juste au bord des yeux
Et sans la regarder je sens la chaleur
D'un autre langage
Alors
Les yeux rivés
Sur les étages
Pourvu que rien n'arrête le voyage

En apesanteur
Pourvu que les secondes soient des heures
En apesanteur
Pourvu qu'on soit les seuls
Dans cet ascenseur
Dans cet ascenseur

J'arrive à me glisser
Juste avant que les portes ne se referment

En apesanteur
Pourvu que les secondes soient des heures
En apesanteur
Pourvu qu'on soit les seuls
Dans cet ascenseur

En apesanteur
Pourvu que les secondes soient des heures
En apesanteur
Pourvu qu'on soit les seuls
Dans cet ascenseur.

useless crap

COS (company orderly sergeant) duty is a total waste of time. This kind of manual task should be automated by use of robots(blahblah..) or substituted by other means since we are the 3G (3rd generation) ARMY. They claim its 3G but the stuffs we're doing are still in the stone age era. For example, the issuing of keys manually should be done by a machine. You scan your 11B and your bunk keys would be issued to you...blahblahblah.. Cookhouse duty should also be removed entirely as it's useless for us to stand at the designated locations and look for for any ill-disciplined actions. The cookhouse staffs can keep a look out for that since they're in the cookhouse during every meal time. When ill-disciplined actions are spotted, the cookhouse staffs can scold them, stop serving them food or simply call the soldier(s)'s superior. As for flag raising and lowering, it can be automated by use of simple mechanics at the pre-programmed timings. As for area cleaning, we don't need a COS to check the cleaniness. People will always be walking around, if the area is dirty, they should just clean it or get people to do it (those officers will arrow us to do it, they're good at it man!). Blahblahblahblah..... wow, we're the 3G army !

rubbish

Before i sleep, i have a question in mind. If 3 person is in the bunk with the door locked, 2 of them sleeping while 1 of them doing what he is suppose to do. Another person Y, not knowing what they're doing inside will assume they're sleeping or slacking their way through. Am i right ? If another person Z ask person Y what the other 3 guys are doing, person Y will surely say what he/she assumes to be correct. Right ? So the odd one out of the 3 guys should be considered innocent, partner in crime (for not unlocking the door) or 'suay' ?


Anyway i seriously think that hoo sucks.

not so good

I think some of the officers (especially those NSFs) in the army are just incompetent breed of people. It's an irony that they're soldiers who have undergone 10 months of disciplined and regimental life but yet the way they function before and after commissioning is totally off the track. However much i wish to tell them off, my meagre position in the army stood in my way. They like to pin point lower ranking personnels to do things they don't wish to do or doesn't help them to 'score points' with the higher ranks.

From my observation in the army, the higher you ascend the military ladder, the more you tend to retain your high up image and sense of authority. You'll start to miss out on the smaller details which you deem unfit or are a waste of your 'precious' time. During the meeting with DIV COMD (General) on monday, my CO (Col)'s agenda was on the multimedia part which happened to be the 2nd issue on that day. At first, he (CO) was to present his multimedia concept right after the ramp issue presentation by a LT COL. In the midst of the meeting, the multimedia presentation was shifted to the last place abruptly as they say it wasn't important. IMO, how can the multimedia part not play an important role in NDP ? Without our tickets, carpark labels and so on, how can the NDP function properly. It'll be chaotic with no order, everyone will be lost, cursing and swearing. Ok, the real catch isn't this part. It came while my CO was finally given a chance to talk. After the first slide of the powerpoint presentation, the DIV COMD was showing impatience, he was hurrying CO to proceed quickly and he paid little attention. He kept on saying :" OK, what's next" while fidgeting on his seat. At the middle of the presentation, DIV COMD diverted his attention and called upon a MAJOR to present a banner work. CO's presentation ended just like that and the DIV COMD walked off after making a few remarks and end-of-meeting statements. As expected, nobody dared to talked back and everyone 'act blur'. I could see that CO was rather embarassed infront of us (the lower ranking ppl).


Today was supposed to be an admin day, as usual after the battalion run, i washed up, changed into admin attire and went to the office. My officer asked for me and i went up to him. He asked me to make a trip to DIV G3 to gather information on the sponsors for NDP from a MAJ. As usual, i can't deny orders and so i unwillingly changed back into uniform and made my way there. I think he was just lazy to change into uniform and go there personally. I was made a laughing stock when i asked the MAJ politely regarding the stuffs i was supposed to get. ME: " Sir, .... can i have a list of those sponsoring the NDP tickets?" MAJ with a laugh :" ..I don't understand your english, can you talk in proper english?" At this moment, i thought my english was so bad that nobody understands. I tried and asked him the same question again. I got the same reply. After being mocked several times, he finally said: " The whole of Singapore is sponsoring the tickets." I was quite shocked to hear that. MAJ:" Can you please think what you want to ask before approaching me? I can talk to recruits or private, no problem on that but they must know what they want or it'll be wasting time." What's wrong with me asking that question ? My officer even wrote down what to ask for in a piece of paper and handed it to me. I just asked according to the guidelines. What's wrong? Luckily, a kind hearted lieutenant who was beside me heard what had happened and explained to me what had gone wrong and said that the MAJ treats him this way during his first time too. It was actually my officer who didn't do his homework properly, he provided me with incorrect information and just sent me to my death. There was actually NO sponsors for the NDP tickets. In order to get sponsors' logo for the NDP tickets, they used the 'mileage' system - whereby sponsors for any services or products (drinks, biscuits..etc..) will have their contributions ($) totalled up and ranked accordingly. Only those sponsors who met certain citeria will have their logos printed on the NDP tickets. Firstly, i think my officer was lazy to change into uniform and secondly, he wasn't sure of the details. Ya, and he just sent me to death. Well-done :)


Fucked-up life, working under a superior is not fun. It sucks. What to do? Suck-thumb and live on with it. I just want to ORD soon. Doing COS tomorrow, have to wake up early and travel alone to camp. ARghh, its so far away from home.

Zzzz

Went to the temple to baibai but an annoying fly was hovering over the offerings we put on the table. It was a damn nuisance. Got my PDL today and just booked a lesson with my instructor. I've posted some amateur works of mine on deviantart. CLICK .Those are the designs i've done in camp for the stupid NATIONAL DAY PARADE. Although not any masterpieces, i'll try my best to improve in one way or another. Ok, its time to practice my djing.

désolé

J'ai presque tué Hercheh et encore désolé au-dessus. Je suis un jinx, si désolé au sujet d'hier.


P.S: Mon Français moche !
