Life in K-9 (74)

hai.. Blacky go back to HQ to be trained by the kennel hand.. but somehow the person who come and take the dog back is none other than Chee Kok Jin.. i dont think Blacky will be hand over to the kennel hand permanently.. but merely handle him just to take the handling allowance.. haha.. whatever the actual reason is, i believe that Blacky will still be under the care of Chee Kok Jin..

im having a mixed feeling right now.. one is sad, as though someone whom you with together for the last 1 and 1/2 yrs, suddenly just leave you without notice or answer.. the pain is there.. but hope through working will able to ease the pain.. another one is happy that in a way or another, Blacky is back to the rightful owner..

today i thought i can ord peacefully.. thought can get IC and go out celebrate.. but to my horror, i have to go back again tomorrow just to collect the IC.. not only that, today went 3 places.. SOC, K-9 HQ and changi base.. just to collect signatures.. pengz.. but at least tomorrow i can go and collect my IC with peace..

ORD

some great news to announced..

1) ORD lor!! =p

2) Blacky wont be going back to HQ as the kennels there are full with those new dogs coming in.. will go back one of these days to see him and give him a good scrub.. he on holiday so song until no one want to bathe him.. ee, blacky smelly!!

3) had a heart to heart talk with someone who have not been very good terms with him since TRACOM.. found out that the things i did in HQ that spread to other sub bases were like a forest fire.. well, you all know what happened when i transfer to changi sub base.. no one give me the chance to redeem for what i did in HQ.. i earned back the chance in these 7 months in changi base.. i pull out the fire on my own.. and proved them wrong.. and also say to them, "dont believe in gossips!! it move people to prove them wrong all the more.if you want to know the person from the start, start afresh and dont listen from gossips and make judgement!!" this lesson doesnt learn from book one hor!!

Cab fare increased

2 weeks have gone since the cab fare increase, and i only took 4 times.. and i dont want to take.. die die also not taking.. yeah, i know that Singapore cab fare is the lowest compared to Hong Kong, London.. but im not working.. why should i be the one that is paying for the cab diesel cost..

i rather wake up early, take a bus or the train, add in some sweat-smelling armpits that struck in front of me, to my destination..

let do some calculation.. say we take the maximum transport expenses of $4.. $2 to office, another $2 back home.. 1 month is about $120..

taxi.. "uncle, changi!!" uncle hear already, grin from face to face.. reach destination, uncle's bright white teeth showing you and say, "kao liao.. $10.. thank you! eh, want me to fetch you to and fro everyday? hehehe.." one month can help him pay his cab rental and diesel liao.. $300..

if i reject uncle's offer, and instead opt to save about $180.. what do you think the uncle will say?

i give up on friendster liao.. hai.. add friends but the number of friends still the same or will be lesser by the day..

Happy Birthday 2006

right.. happy birthday.. a day of celebration and happiness.. but to me, i find this day normal leh.. haha.. maybe i miss the boat of celebration 2 yrs back.. other than that is pretty mundane to me..

Overall experience in NS

As at this time, i hereby announced that im an ORD personnel.. hehehe..

2 yrs of National Service.. im finally a man.. hahaha..

6 months of Physical Training in TRACOM, 1 1/2 yrs in Dog Unit.. learn alot of things where books cant teach.. im happy that my last days in Dog Unit was happy memories.. but sad to leave Blacky.. now im hoping they wont take Blacky back to HQ.. if not, i will never have the chance to see him again..

Dollar and Sense

Yesterday watched the debut episode of Dollar and Sense, hosted by Bryan Wong.. this is a game show where 4 celebrities have the same amount of money which they can invest.. as times goes by, they face some difficulties like big problem, small problem, bankrupt or good news..

as a person who went through a course where money is mattered in ite, these are tips to be shared.. there is only one lesson that i shared but yet never applied on my own.. =/

1) dont apply for credit card.. the interest is the highest among housing loan, car loan..

2) in case of emergency, you must have at least 3-6 months of savings..

3) the lowest risk and lowest investment is fixed deposit.. this is the one that i had shared before.. but didnt applied because i dont have the minimum savings that required for the fixed deposit.. i remember got one newspaper report saying that now alot of elderly people are putting their savings in fixed deposit just to earn interest.. shake leg also got interest coming in.. eh, can share some interest to me.. i no money leh.. hehehe

4) if want to buy a car, make sure your salary is above 2k.. eh, i think i go and sleep and dream about it.. hai.. when is this dream going to be granted..

5) want to save, save more than 50% of your salary if can.. this is the most difficult lesson people can ever applied in life.. im not excluded as well.. but because of my family problems, i have to help them.. unless you are high-flier like some celebrities or businessman.. you never know when is the rain will come.. think for yourself instead of the materialistic things that you intend to get..

for me, as long as there is shoes, clothes to wear, food to eat, bed to sleep.. im contended.. i dont care how outside people look at me.. even handphone also want to gone case, i not complaining either.. my intention now is go through the storm with my family..i cant blame my family for the cause that they have gone through..i can only trust God who deliver.. the tips that i given is 100% harmless.. it will definitely come in handy..

Moonlighting

jobs are all out there to find.. in the internet, in the newspaper.. apply through agencies..

but the job im currently doing is slave work for my tuition teacher friend because i could only work until end of Aug.. after which, the World Bank Conference in sep, i will somehow be there.. not as a policeman or reservist.. hahah.. only certain people know.. think will surprise my former colleagues in the dog unit.. hehehe..

only then, im free to work outside.. this is what i call bumming around.. haha.. from helping my tuition teacher to world bank conference to outside job..

minci, i donno what job you looking for.. maybe i can help you.. only thing i cant help is resume.. is damn hard to write lor.. hai..

the last 2 weeks are hell to me.. watch world cup then go to work.. off days also go and work.. then i think it to myself, "wah, if like that work, i dont have time for myself.. no no.. cannot.." after that, discuss with my tuition teacher friend..
