Tales of a Dog Handler
Its early on a Friday morning, what am I doing???? *YAWNZ* Just obtained a half day off given to me by my staff because of my hard work at the parade rehearsal. Its not any normal parade rehearsal mind you. Its a dog passing out parade rehearsal. So imagine this, your dog and you doing drills like turning left and turning right, marching, wheeling as a line, attention and at ease etc. Sounds fun??? Not when you know that you've been training the dog under the sun for months and he still pulls you during marching... Incorrigible.... Grrrrr......
Well, training is tough and rehearsals are no far better..... The distance between my dog and the next one is like three paces away. So if any two jokers look at each other and stare.... Well, "Houston, we have a dogfight..." And if the dogs get injured or anything happens, the handlers are to be blamed how about that?? Coz you didn't take good care of the dogs.... As simple as that... Wah lan eh?!?!? What to do??? You can't blame the dog, you can't charge the dog and send it to DB so whose fault do we point it too?? The handlers' fault....
I tell you it ain't tough being a dog handler too..... The risk that we get bitten everyday is always there.... The risk of getting charged because the dog is not managed well is always there.... The risk of getting screwed by your camp mates is always there.... The risk of doing lots of sai Kang (a.k.a. dirty/manual or rather both) is always there.... The fear is always there... So kids don't try this at home..... ( Wat the dickens am I talking man......) Well, I'm not comparing with you officers or specs or anything lah..... Just saying you know every job has its own advantages and disadvantages... We all have our different responsiblities....
Well, its at least comforting to know I have a good superior who acknowlegdes our hard work and effort. He's intending to give us off for it.... Another plus point would be the satisfaction of seeing your dog pass out as an offically trained guard dog..... Hey you guys better not play punk with my dog i tell you arh.... He's quite fierce one leh..... Only with me then he dare to fool around... If its someone he doesn't know he'll bark and chiong (a.k.a go for) the person.... Heheheh... But dogs are really cute... Maybe I'll post a picture or if possible a video about him soon hehehehe..... Kawaii!!!!!

Tales from the Sinseh........
Sprained my leg yesterday..... Or rather AGAIN.... SAME LEG SAME INJURY SAME REASON....... Wahahhahaah coz I was trying to slide for the ball and my body landed on my leg then I heard a thud sound followed by excruciating pain.... Then, we skip a few scenes to the sinseh........
At the Sinseh:
Sinseh(Translated from Hokkien): Boy arh! Your Injury Very long time ago one arh.....
He carries on massaging my leg..... By this time, I'm already in La La Land because of the pain.... Still he carries on massaging at the same time talking. Suddenly towards the end, I feel faint and breathless.... Of course, the sinseh would have noticed it and he asks me to relax my body completely..... My vision starts to blur and I feel very light.... He instructs me to drink a cup of warm water which i feebily glup down.... Miraculously I begin to feel better as I break out in cold sweat....
Hmm... Okay better get down to my interesting things i found out at the sinseh.... Chinese medicine really is very interesting, as in he could tell I injured my leg b4 and his fast and correct assessment of the situation prevented me from blacking out... hmm... If I had gone to the Western Doctor, he would have given me painkillers and instructed me on how to go about stretching and doing a little physiotherapy for my leg...... Which cures the pain not the problem.... Rite?!?!? Anyone care to talk abt it?

Had a very weird dream two days ago.... If I'm not wrong its the second or third time since i had this dream which made all the more bizarre....... The dream starts off with Sammi Cheng and Jordan Chan chatting at a shopping mall..... They are doing a love, dovey things that couple would do. Then all of a sudden, they start quarrelling with each other which results in both of them storming off...... Jordan Chan walks to some part of the shopping mall and picks out his keys. He opens the door and enters a particular room that happens to be his HOUSE!!!! He breaks down as soon as he closes the door, tears rolling profusely down his cheek... Now this is where I come in.... I happen to be his roommate or tennant who catches him in his moment of grief as I peek through the doorhole of my room. As i approach him, I calm him down consoling him..... As we talk for quite a while, at a certain point of time the door swings open and our dear Sammi Cheng appears. Somehow, our dear Jordan doesn't realise it partly because his back is facing the main door. An idea flashes though my mind as I try to talk our dear Jordan Chan into talk about his love for Sammi and confessing that he loves her very very very very much! After several futile attempts to do so, he finally manages to mouth out that he loves her. This touches our dear Sammi's heart whose been hearing this conversation all the while...... And then.......................................... and then............................................
I wake up :-P ........
I know its a bit anti-climax but yes i really really woke up at that point of time... Doesn't this sound like some Hong Kong serial drama or some movie that you've seen before.... I don't know about you guys but I just find it so familar..... Maybe because I've dreamt about it a few times..... There's even a background song in my dream which i cannot make out of it now.... Hmmm... as for the conversation and wat the people in my dream were saying its all a blur now so sorry for the details.... heheheheheh.... And if i've made you guys sit through a boring episode of my life sorry hehehe.......

Oscar from Shark's Tale
As you guys can see in the pic, its oscar from Shark's Tale..... we were supposed to watch it two weeks ago but we couldn't get tickets. Well, we were supposed to watch it yesterday and guess what?!? WE STILL CAN"T GET THE FREAKIN TICKETS!!!!!! Wat the hum-a-la-la........ This is so irritating man..... Don't tell me we have to wait for god-knows-how-many-saturdays (no offence god but yah......) before we can finally watch the show????
Lesson no.1 learnt: If you wanna watch a movie on a weekend or towards a weekend, get it hours in ADVANCED!!
Lesson no.2 learnt: Don't watch movies on a weekend if its a last minute thingy.......
Lesson no.3 learnt: If you wanna organise a last min thingy watch a movies which no one wants to watch like Bride and Prejudice (some indian/uk show: can hear the indians going oooiii.... you got a problem?)
Cheerios.......

Heyo long time since I updated on my personal life heheh.... I'm considering of converting this blogger to be a semi personal and review blogger..... Wonder if it'll be cool..... Anyway, I've already started with two entries about Gundam so let's wait and see how lah.... What do you guys think???
Life's pretty much the same for me...... Looking forward to the long weekend coming this week.... Got off from thur to mon.... PHOAH! SHIOK MAN! I guess the japan craze is starting to hit me again coz I've spent the whole week d/l over 5 gig of anime.... So much that i almost burnt out my comp..... Scary thought man.... Phew.... That has been occupying my whole week.... Actually I realise that I enjoy watching anime a lot.... Maybe i really like to fantasize a lot about stuff and imagining things.... Hmmm should stop dwelling about that..... But it would be nice to live in a fantasy world.... Oh no there i go again!!!! Stop day/night dreaming!!!!
Well, I've been training dogs recently.... His name is Atos..... Kinda cute doggie who can stand on his two strong hind legs... Maybe I'll upload his photo on the blogger sometime soon.... He's very adorable but he doesn't have any Kennel Hygiene.... Stupid hum-a-la-la (replacement of vugalrities) Everytimes he pees and shits in his kennel, he will jump on me after stepping on his piss and faeces..... *Gross* :~~~~<.... Well, he's still a pup only one year old but he can't inflict a nasty wound on ya if you don't take him seriously...... Hopefully he passes the obidience and baiting assessment at the end of this month, although there's a slight problem.... hehehehhe.........
Oh well, i'll just have to train him harder for the coming week and the nxt!!! To infinity and beyond!!!!

Freedom
I got this from the NUS Anime forum which is very hilarious but so so true. This is posted by someone called Kero-Kun:
Dun shoot the scriptwriters, this is because this is one of the unwritten rules whenever a scriptwriter writes a Gundam story. Gundams must always get stolen in the 1st ep Other unwritten rules for scriptwriters to follow when writing the plot for a Gundam storyline:
1. The main character must never die, except maybe at the last ep.
2. His arch enemy must never die, except maybe during the 2nd last ep.
3. All other characters are expendable.
4. There must always be a war between 2 opposing factions , usually leading to a epic final battle near the ending.
5. The body-count must reach a certain predefined amount at the end of each story. (Most scriptwriters achieve this by killing off lots of people in the epic battle stated in 4.)
6. There must ALWAYS be a guy wearing a mask inside the story.
7. The definition of GUNDAM must always explained inside the storyline, irregardless that it is actually a improper english word.
8. The main character's original Gundam Suit must get destroyed somewhere in the middle of the story, to facilitate him getting an upgrade.
9. The main character would usually (find/steal/rob/receive as a Xmas present) a spanking new upgraded mobile suit with more firepower and a new feature that everybody else wants, but only he has. He will usually get it an few eps after his old suit blew up.
10. There be must enough loose ends at the end of each story so that a sequel/OVA /movie/ season 2 can be produced. (Bandai needs to milk its cash cows as much as possible.)
11. There must be enough robots in each Gundam story so that extra mechandise, such as Gundam models of each mobile suit, character artbooks, DVDs, video games, Haro Haro soft toys, can be produced. (Mooooooo....... ) and the most important unwritten rule is ...
12. The look and design of the Gundam's face must NEVER change! (Turn A broke the rule and was condemned for eons to come...).
By the way, doesn' t the main characters' Gundam design remind you of the 70's Robot anime? Several parts combine to form a mobile suit, haha they really ran out of ideas. Wonder is they are going to repeat the transformation sequence in every episode, like in those 70s anime last time.
Gundam Seed Crew
From the creators of Gundam, here comes a brand new series Gundam Seed!!! This is an alternate universe series which has a lot of depth in it. The series came out last year actually and the legit dvds won't be out till nxt year or so... The story begins during the Cosmic Era 71, where Kira Yamato, a Coordinator, and his friends are be dragged into a conflict between the Earth Alliance and Zaft. Heliopolis, a space colony, is the setting at the beginning. A secret production of Gundams is being carried out by the Earth Federation and preparations are on the way for launching of the Gundams. However, Zaft already has other plans and deploys men to steal the Gundams. During the fighting, emeges our young hero, Kira. In his attempt to save the life of a female stranger he boards one of the Gundam called Strike and realises he is stuck in a sticky situation. He soon takes up arms and pilots Strike and fights against other four Gundams stolen by the Zaft federation. After a few battle scenes, he and his friends board a battleship known as the Archangel. Hence, beginning a series of adventures.
Gundam Seed has a very good storyline not to mention plot with quite a few twists and turns here and there.... Not to mention that each episode ends in suspense, keeping viewers glued to their seats. The characters and Mechas are drawn to a high level of detail and intricately which makes them highly appealing to the viewers. The animation wise is average with some 3D effects at times. Another plus point about this animation is its music. The opening and endings songs for Gundam Seed are fantastic with artists like T.M Revolution, See-saw and Nami Tamaki. Moreover, the background songs would make someone empathize with the characters and setting the ideal mood for each scene during the show.
Gundam Seed is no doubt an excellent piece of work by Sunrise and is currently a very popular anime still. Although there are minor flaws where there is little details at certain point of time, the animation thoroughly deserves a 4 out of 5 stars.
