I'm back!!!

Been quite some time since i last update, but i am really busy, not to mentioned tired...

Hmm... where do i start?? Thursday?

Thursday. Went to NSSC. Met the JDO, and no orh gong for me.. Thank god...

Went to HQ after that, helped to wash the ambulances, top up fuel, and doing other stuffs, ending up not sleeping. This lead to having a tension headache on friday night.

Nothing much on Friday night, just that the roaring of the F1 cars non-stop was a bit irritating to me.

Sat night. Did one evacuation, which i won by a simple scissors, paper and stone game with R. The whole evacuation was timed, and it took only 6 minutes plus to reach the hospital. Me and H were a bit bonkers, especially when we were going back to gate 6.

And i brought along my ear muffler, and using that, i did managed to sleep, but i was awoke by the silence after the track practice was over.

Sunday. R did an evacuation. He refused to have the scissors paper stone game with me.

Here are the photos.

Friday hot afternoon.

Track safety cars doing their rounds.

3 of other ambulance drivers under the hot sun...

4 of us with the Sector Marshal. He's a very friendly chap who's from Australia.

Track Marshal.

And soon, the race started. BMW race.




Auston Martin race.


Porsche Race. There's one Porsche with the Singapore Flag.


And for the F1 race at night, well, they were travelling too fast for my camera.

This is the only shot that i like...


Hmmm...

And as the event ended on sunday, TS commented. "3 months to prepare, over in 3 days".

Man, am i grateful that the event has ended!!!

F1 week

Another weekend passed.

Now is the Formula 1 race week. Gearing up. Making final preparations. Buying stuffs.

Took quite a lot of photos for the preparation, but sorry to say, i cannot post on my blog. Those pictures are to be used for something else. Have been "appointed" unoffically as a photographer for our own magazine usage.

Will post at a later stage if i can remember.

Sooooo busy...

Wondering when will see the light at the end of the dark corridor...

Soon, i guess...





Everyone's talking about it

Have you ever notice, that in these few days, weeks, months, you keep seeing, hearing, feeling one thing?

And nope, i am not talking about the finanical crisis.

And nope, i am not talking about the china milk melamine scare either...

It's something international... It's something about speed...

If you still dunno what i am talking about, i would suggest you go find a solid piece of wall, nope, i am not telling you to bang your head against it, but go find a wall to bang into you. Or, you can enter a circular room and relax in one corner.

Yes. I am talking about F1.

Formula 1, not the F1 (help) key you find on your computer keyboards, you computer freaks.

Formula 1 racing.

RACING...

I can see it everywhere... I read it in the news and papers. I heard about it on the radio, TV, and the public. I saw F1 articles on magazines. I can see HUGE posters along one of the highways. I see the F1 cars on display at petrol stations.

I can even hear it at night, when some speedsters wanna drive their WRX STI, or Type R or EVO or even motorbikes, as they try to imitate Lewis driving the F1 cars. I can also see the F1 cars sold in most shops, from toys to collectables, F1 stuffs, to stickers.

Hell, i even know a friend who dreams about the F1 thingy while sleeping!!!

WTH???

I went to suntec, spotted a "event", and some kids playing some cars. It only took me a split second to recongise it as the Singapore F1 track.

I have been staring too much of the F1 track too much.

This whole thing is getting tiring.

4 more days to F1.

I just hope it can pass ASAP without any incident, hopefully to the disappointment of the tickets holder.

failed without tasting

Imagine this....

During your secondary school days. You are supposed to sit for a composition test. You wrote out the composition, submit to your teacher for grading.

And your teacher never glance at your composition and gave you a fail grade.

What's your feelings on this??

Something similiar happened to one of my friends... He cooked soup, brought to his instructors, and the "testers" never taste his soup and gave him a fail grade...

What the heck?

Reason is that one is very health conscious, and the other don't dare to taste the soup.

What the bloody heck? Hey, you are cooking instructors, and you don't want to taste coz you scared you put on weight, and scare to taste the soup...

It's macham like asking a tramua nurse who's afraid of seeing blood to treat a RTA case.

Sometimes, innovations, think out of the box, being creative does not pay.

Tainted milk powder in China.

Damm it...

First, it's the finanical crisis...

Now, it's the milk powder from China....

Three babies dead, over 6,000 sick in China milk scandal

How can they add a poison chemical use in a industry of plastic resin and glue to food?? Melamine... Remember this word...

I can almost imagine this scenario... This might be what could have happened that caused this incident:

==============================================
Inside China office:

R&D to Production : Hey, to increase the value added of our milk powder, we can add some extra ingredients into our milk powder... Can increase the selling price also... We have done an extensive Research on it, and it's not toxic at all!! In fact, it feels better!! Good idea hor??

Production : Really har?? Add what in har??

R&D : Melanin... It's good for the skin, it serves predominantly as a pigment. The class of pigments are derivatives of the amino acid tyrosine.....

Production : Cut the technical crap. You mentioned Melanin, right?? okie, i going to get the purchasing to purchase immediately... And then get QC to test the new product.

Production to Purchasing : I want to you purchase Melanin ASAP for a new product launch... Got it??

Purchasing : 是的.

Purchasing on phone : 你好, 我想买 Melanin...

Ang Mor on the other side : You want Melamine??

Purchasing : 是的. Melanin.

Shortly after the manufacturing process......

QC : ZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzz
==============================================

Could it been happing like this??

As what Aaron says (吃死人) got 3 meanings...

1) Eat (poison) till die...

2) Eat dead people....

3) (When you talking about it, not words) Eat shit person...


Is this world still safe or not??

Finanical crisis

Financial crisis...

USA sub-prime crisis...

USA govermant bailout of 2 banks.

Giant investment bank, Lehman bank collaspe.

Shares prices freefall.

Truthfully, i am shock. A huge investment bank just collasped overnight, it's too sudden. This is getting worse than i had imagine and expected. Will we get to see a repeat of the great depression of the 1930s?

Next, another giant insurance company, AIG is on the brink. AIG shares dropped 60 - 70%.

Insurance companies allow you to buy insurance on almost anything. But the insurance policies itself have any insurance against such crisis?

Do we have to buy another insurance as an insurance for our insurance??

This is getting complicated.

Insurance companies always have this saying. "Have a peace of mind", but when this shit happens, who can have a peace of mind?

Well, i hope that this crisis will go over soon, and frankly speaking, i don't envy AIA, AIG, or even AHA staff...

Mid autumn weekend

Weekend came and about to go off...

Kinda busy... Friday work, and meetings.

Sat. We became "spacemen"...


Nope.. that is not the spacemen i am talking about.

Is this one...




Only the head covered... That was the PPE fitting thingy for us.

Looks a bit like the movie, armageddon...

Only thing is that the movie director would not accept a big asshole like me in his movie...

And next was the mass briefing of the upcoming project, and i was so restless that i started snapping photos from what i was seated...





And i fell asleep...



After the briefing, we (EC, GL, DT, VKP and me) went for a delicious dinner at Maggi Thai. Having the same food...

And later in the night... BP WLNY gathering to celebrate the mid autumn festival. Been ages since so much ppl came...

We were there to take photos...


To eat mooncakes...


And to look at the moon... 3 moons somemore!!



Well, it's been a very interesting night, and it's been quite sometime since i really can relax and enjoy myself...

Should have more of these outings.. haha

I need a good night's sleep... Hope to get one, but i ain't sure of it... My mind is racing faster than a Formula 1 car, that would put Lewis Hamilton to utter shame. I think i am reaching Mach 1. Dun be surprise when you hear a supersonic boom when you are next to me.

Damm.. i am starting to take notice of Formula 1 drivers, which i know "1.8 million" about..

When will my mind finish the 61 laps?

Million dollar question

What would you do if you have a million dollars?

Go for a round-the-world holiday trip?

Buy a house?

Invest the money?

Buy a sports car?

Or watch a sports car race, in style??

No kidding.. spend a million bucks to watch a sports car race about 310 km @ about 300kph?

Some fans willing to pay S$1m to watch Singapore F1 race in style
By Patwant Singh, Channel NewsAsia Posted: 10 September 2008 1730 hrs
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/374970/1/.html

Wow... unbelievable!! 1 million bucks to watch F1 in air con comfort!! I MILLION BUCKS!!! 7 DIGITS FIGURES!!! 1,000,000 bucks!!!

Okie lah, got other perks to add in... like the yacht, the private jet holidays etc...

But then... 1 million bucks!!! If only that million bucks is mine...

And if i got a million bucks and i successfully bid for the "exclusive" thingy, well, i guess, i would be eating grass for the rest of the month till my next pay comes in...

Haiz~~~ a million.... perhaps, when i go sleep later, i can dream about having a million bucks...

At the very least, i would not call the million bucks "peanuts"... sob sob...

F1 engineer

Alright... I am all geared up!!

Formula 1 season is coming.. I am well prepared... I know how a F1 car works!! I am an expert in the motor and the steering!!


The F1 car that's been "engineered" by me...


Me at work, concentrating on dismantling the car... The poor driver is still in the seat...


The tyres of the car... I had modified the steering, so that it's much more maneuverable!!!



So, is there any F1 team that needs engineer to modified their cars?

Or... is there any F1 team that needs a pit stop crew?

Do consider me...

NDP 2008 goodie bag items

On man...

The items in the NDP goodie bags are getting more and more... ehemmm...

I mean, what the heck is that "thing" that is found in the NDP goodie bag?


Is it a balloon, or a stick, or a toy?

Alright.. who's the wise guy that introduce that "thing" into the goodie bag?

Disturbing article

Was surfing the talkingcock website when i came across this kinda disturbing to me...

Guess what? We've been hacked by an asshole.
http://www.talkingcock.com/html/article.php?sid=2626

Very disturbing indeed...

Other ppl may start thinking that it's me who is the hacker... Nope, that's not so disturbing, coz others know i am an ITI, (IT Idiot)...

What disturbs me is that there's another asshole out there... And i ain't the only one!!

Smashed windscreen

Late one night some days ago...

I went home, parked my car at the multi storey carpark, stopped the engines, opened the door, went out, close my door and locked it, and walked a few steps away, glanced over my shoulder, and to my horror...



Went closer for a look...



Dunno whose poor car got his windscreen or window smashed...

I suspect an act of vandalism...
