Temporal Paralysis

By the time you guys read this, I will already be heading down to Civil Defence 4th Division/Bukit Batok Fire Station, after being briefed about my reservist period almost 6 months back.

With the new management inside the Civil Defence Force in Singapore, I am not sure if I had to continuously stay in camp for 18 days straight, or am able to return on weekends (book out on Friday evening, return back on Sunday night). For me, I could not be arsed to care, but I am sure that I will meet back a few fellows I got to enjoy company with the last time, and work with a few other “characters” that I’m sure will piss the heck out of me. But hey, working life prepares you for this no?

I will see you guys in 18 days’ time. Or the weekends, whichever they decide to release me to the wild.

I’ve long since returned from my trip in KL, and I have promised quite a few people for their pictures, so expect no activity here. Also, I’m listening to Makino Yui songs, in anticipation of her arrival in Singapore this Saturday. If you excuse me, I’ll be Makinogasm…

This weekend, on the 18th to the 21st, I will be flying over to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to attend the following events:

1. Monash Open Day
2. Comic Fiesta

Monash Open Day 2009

Incidentally, Monash University is having their Open Day on the same Saturday which Comic Fiesta is to be held.

One of the reasons I’m attending this, is because I am interested in applying for their Bachelor in Information Technology & Systems course. I will be asking their staff on the requirements for the course, fees and miscellaneous enquiries.

I planned to enrol myself there for the July intake, so that would leave me plenty of time to sort out the administrative work and basically sit back and relax until I get the letter of acceptance. God Willing, all things should be as planned, and hopefully I can enjoy as many Ramly burgers as I want to! XD

Comic Fiesta 2009

This is one of the few events most followers of the anime/cosplay events scene would be interested.

For the uninitiated, Comic Fiesta is something like Singapore’s End-Of-Year festival, minus the EGL fashion and Makino Yui. I’m interested in the artworks of the various doujin artists, considering that the organizers have set up a countdown of sorts, featuring art from many contributors to support the event.

It is a refreshing take on the cosplay scene, as I understand that 3 people (that I know of, wink wink) are attending the festival. I may/may not go for the Saturday event, as I am probably busy with shopping spree at Petaling Street (already there have been requests for high-quality… err… imitation goods, which will make me go orz before the end is over).

Incidentally, both events are happening at the same district. Talk about ecological sustainability (if I minus the taxi cab…), Also, this is my first self-planned solo trip (I’ve been to other places alone before, but that was with a group), so backpacking here I come!

It seemed inevitable that I might as well go into it; a lot of people are doing it, one has been saved by it, many are touched by it and it’s the most trendy platform in which Facebook is just another competition:  Twitter.

After a consultation of fellow bloggers on the IRC (what, that ancient technology?) on the benefits of Twitter, I succumbed to the hellhole that is Twitter. I have to say, I’m very much intrigued by it.

I’m at a loss for words here. I best describe myself as agitated and confused, without aim or purpose in life. Hence, no updates.

The lull in my own updates has gotta do with the recent drop in finances. At the moment, I’m saving up money for education later in life, setting aside half of my salary for it. I can’t change the CPF contributions – this mandatory savings scheme is meant for my use when I am 65 years of age. Such is the will of the Government in its mistrust for its people’s ability to exercise their savings ability.

Ah, somehow, one way or another, you found my blog! Congratulations, you’ve just found out my secret hiding place.

As you all know, I previously had a blog hosted on Blogger my previous blog is no longer maintained. Wordpress has become my new plaything now, and with great freedom comes great responsibility…

As you can see, my new blog is still a work-in-progress. I have yet to waste my time customizing the banners and do some work on the web design itself. I have no intention to rush it, so I take it one step at a time.

Actually, there’s nothing more I need to say. Considering that I post this at around 12:37 a.m. Monday morning, I am pretty much spaced out. Till then, this is TP signing out.
