Engineering. I Have The Tools. I Got The Knowledge. Need A Repair?


That's me, in the field! I think I should be worthed more than just $500 bah...

This week, I have been inserted into the site at dusk and extracted out after dawn everyday. For those who are abit stumbled by the terms "inserted" and "extracted" (no no, its nothing to do with pulling out my teeth or whatever kinky things you are thinking =p), these are fancy military terms for being transported to and out of a place.

Last week was "deployment-preparation-hell-week", and this week, the "actual-deployment-hell-week" continues. My job requires us to give 24-hr on-site support for this period. I am on the 12-hr night shift this time round. This is my first out-field deployment as an engineer. No fancy heli-insertion lah, just normal dull rover ride into the forest area. As I told my mum, what I do there is mainly catching spiders, collecting some leaves specimens, and observing some red and black ants fighting it out. I must admit, in contrast to all that helluva "fire-fighting" last week (in particular till 6 am on one of the days), the toughest part this week is coping with boredom and cranky neckache.

FYI, I don't need to wear the funny yellow PCK helmet. And I dress in civilian, tho' still in the shades of green sometimes, just to be more tactical and blend in with the rest of the gang mah. hah

Alright, I should be sleeping right now, my bio-clock is abit screwed at the moment.

The Bridal Dowry.

The delivery of dowry ( 送嫁妆 ) is another important custom. It represents parent's effort for her daughter to have a good life after marriage and prepare her with the necessities for being a good wife. I am amazed by some of the things included in the dowry. Of course, in our modern living, we will not be using some of those things... Nevertheless, I think it is all good to have them, as each item carries a good meaning for our blissful marriage. :-)

Shopping for Perfume.

If you want to buy original but cheaper perfume in Singapore, you'd probably go to Lucky Plaza . You can bargain at the perfume shops in Lucky Plaza which is the exact reason why anyone would wanna shop at Lucky Plaza. I went there with a friend to shop for some perfume this afternoon. It was a shopping experience I never had before in Singapore. As a matter of fact, never before in my life or anywhere in the world. I usually visit the two shops near McDonald's . Today we decided check out another shop since we had walked from the "Lucky Plaza - Ngee Ann City underpass". We had in mind one of the brand we wanted. So after asking the price, we looked for the 2nd bottle of brand, but at a lower budget. We tested three, can't decide and asked for recommendation from the boss, an Indian lady (not being racist, its just the fact it happened to be an Indian shop). She showed me a black face (no pun intended! heh ) and said my budget was too low. She probably wasn'...

If you have it, just flaunt it.

Its such a lousy day, I have decided to blog another entry. Yesh, I am thinking about things other than my last two papers on Thurs and Friday. Something probably talked alot before by many people... What is it with men and women with 可爱-oooii *杨丞琳's voice* face, long tresses, slim legs, curvey body, in revealing tight clothes (only for those with the former characteristics), in pink. Why are men so attracted to those features? The guy is lying if he says he will not turn his head when he sees women with those features. I think it has nothing to do with men being lustful or anything disgusting. It probably has something to do with the genes, the hormones. I don't believe it has to do with things like its men's nature instinct to look for partners who can reproduce blahblahblah. That's so boring! Its something mysterious, something that let men derives pleasure by just looking openly, without doing anything bad or harmful or immoral. Do women ogle at men all the time too...
