Monthly Revived! F***!

Ok, the once-in-a-month thing came on my mother and she is flaring up again. Obviously, for no reason. I'm going to skip house more these weeks. I'm not interested in what she want to say. I dun feel like going home.

I dun know what happen to my twin, probably she wants a stop to all these. So, over here, on my side, i assume it is and i will also put a stop to it as well. No bad feeling anyway. :)

A few updates.

I dun think i am cut out to be in the job that i am currently in now. I wanna out but at the same time, I am quite worry as well as I do not have very much working experiences. Whatever it is, I intend to work until to the end of the contract and change job if need be. Probably I would also be going to study too. Whatever it is, I am not happy with my work there.

Surfed the People's Association Website the day before (saturday), intending to book a course for 10th apr but to my pleasant surprise, I happen to see a class slot that falls on sunday (which is the next day). Well, I know there isn't anyone who will join so i am not asking anyone there i go, joined the class despite the last minute knowledge.

I also signed up for PA membership with $10 for 3 years. Anyone who wishes to get discount, kindly notify me.

Back to the thai lesson. It was quite pretty interesting that I met the teacher back in JE bus interchange. She's like a typical singaporean with a chinese look. She doesn't seem like a thai to me. She knows mandarin, a little bit of hokkien, english, thai, and french. I might practice with her of my french when we are more familier, as you know thai people are generally friendly.

Off hand, yes it is. taking up this language was partly influenced by the histories (for those who knows) and i was thinking of learning other 'realistic' language (no disrespect here), but i thought since i had somehow made myself known to thai, why dun i strengthen it. And so, i decided to take up thai despite the last minute notification. 2nd reason is that, being out of classroom for so long, I am trying to accustom myself so in time to come when my uni class starts, i'm able to take off, for at least, smoothly. You see, i'm a slow learner. And the society is harsh and they dun care whether you are a fast or slow learner. So that's it.

1st lesson was cool though i was in a Beginner 2 class, but luckily, i was able to catch up quite well.. (for now). And we were made to sing song!! Haha. it was kind of fun. But language needs to practice constantly.

My phonetics is better now, after all, we spent 1 hour to pronounce. So, hopefully, this is a good start and all the way for me to learn thai.

I recorded the session throughout and hopefully that serves as a revision as well.

Adventure with SMRT

A very short journey of just 30 minutes can bring a tonnes of activities during the MRT ride.

First of all, i think the ladies will have a very good chance of winning the 100m dashes competition. There are ladies whom I saw wearing high heels running from the entrance of the mrt station and all the way to the platform in the hope of catching a train within 30 seconds.

Secondly, all the commuters would be trained to learn some magic. As the train were packed during every peak hour, commuters will then use their magic skills to slim them down so in order not to allow more passengers to come in as well.

Thirdly, we all have to learn how to strategically positioned ourselves so that as an individual, one can easy alight as well as not obstructing the other passengers' way. Which of course also explains why that Mas Selamat had been missing for 3+ weeks.

Fourthly, commuter might be able to learn the art of stoning as situation where the individual is a guy and was surrounded by a group of ladies of 4 sides with their front facing you. This technique is very important if that individual is a male, else, you will be sued for molesting. :)

Anyway, all these were mentioned for the fun of it. Please do not sue me, SMRT! haha.

Conspiracy or slow?

Of the recent drama of Toilet Break from Whitley Road Detention Centre, if one is to analyse deeper of the development made so far, the rescue operation might not seem what it is suppose to be.

Let me explain.

1st of all. They took 4 hours to notify singaporean that a detainee had escaped. I really wonder do they really need that long time to search for him? If he did escape away, i think at most u need 1.5 to 2 hours to confirm that. Is he so stupid that he would stay in the detention centre knowing that the Police will lock the the whole place and then making himself no chance of escaping?

2nd. According to the news, the K9 (dog unit) was sent in for assistance some 4 days after he escaped. Prior to that, there were rains in that area. If the police said that they "spare no effort" in searching for him, may i know why K9 unit was so late to involve in this manhunt and the rain water might have also drained the scent away making him easier way to prevent detection from the dogs.

3th. One week later, the Police then informed the members of the public that the limping was only visible when walking briskly or running. Who knows that he happen to past by us with a good chance of prevent that attention because we are looking out for a very obvious limping.

4th. Same day as the above mentioned argument that members of the public were informed that he actually had other clothing that was taken away in the detention centre. So it seemed like from that, i conclude that the security were actually very slack as he had the time to take his personal clothing. And also that the police were very very inefficent considering that they need to work 24 hrs a day (spare no effort to capture him, remember? Thus working 24 hrs a day) to inform us that he had another set of clothing with him.

Now, piecing up all the above 4 points, I am seriously wondering if the Singapore Govt & the SPF is covering up anything or is there any conspiracy involved?

(My guess is he will most likely be dead when he is found. In short, he will never capture alive via what the state media reports.) Statement in bracket is a personal comment on this matter therefore is not liable for any responsibilities that come with it. Message is to the Singapore Govt, Singapore Police Force as well as the members of the public of all countries.

Or is the Singapore Police Force is reacting very very slow in providing the right information to the public to assist in the capture.
