AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Saturday, November 29, 2008
No, I haven't read the series, just one book, but it does seem an apt enough title.
Bangkok airport being stormed.
Mumbai terrorist attacks.
Infocomm CCA camp.
Maybe not the last one, but you get the idea.
Bangkok airport - lots of tourists stuck there, some now resorting to other means like train or another airports to go home. Not very good for the economy if you ask me. These protesters are supposed to be protesting the government, but they aren't exactly helping their country either.
But I'd rather be stuck in Bangkok than be in Mumbai now. Terrorists launching a dastardly attack on five star hotels, targeting foreigners? Death toll's now about 155. It's like the Pearl Harbor of the Twentieth Century, or India's September 11. It went all too well for the terrorists - they were too well coordinated to be stopped until sixty odd hours later.
Perhaps the saddest story of all for Singaporeans would be the killing of Lo Hwei Yen, the first and only Singaporean fatality from a terrorist attack. The cruel irony of it all was that she was only supposed to be there for one night, which just happened to be when the terrorists attacked.
And finally, CCA camp. it was from the 28th-29th November, so I just came back.
What a letdown.
I couldn't participate in loads of stuff like human table soccer 'cause of my toes. Although my toes were useful in the sense that everyone asked about 'em and I got plenty of opportunity to discuss blood and gore.
Anyway. First we had human table soccer, then human minesweeper. I was wondering if we'd have human counterstrike next, then we'd have guns and get to shoot each other.
After that it was wash up then barbeque. I volunteered to go and buy ice (Air con!) but when I came back, quite a bit of food had disappeared, including my sausages.
So for dinner I had one and a half sticks of satay, one glass of ice lemon tea and one of coke, a few ice cubes and biscuits.
The Night Trail was made all the worse since people started to tell ghost stories before the trail.
Honestly, you shouldn't be telling ghost stories before a night trail. It just makes people feel all the more worried. Like Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "There is nothing to fear but fear itself." You're just making it worse and making people's imagination go wild.
People were screaming all over the place 'cause Exco dressed up as ghosts to scare us. But they were wearing the wrong outfit. Cinderella shirt thing? Obviously not a ghost. Media Club? Since when have ghosts been so up to date?
I think the worst part of the trail was the screams.
The worst was yet to come, however. When it was near twelve and I was trying to sleep, they were watching a movie.
And not just any movie.
High School Musical Three.
My worst nightmare.
I couldn't bloody sleep, all the way until about two. Then at three odd, the seniors woke me up with stories of pink clouds and pieces of bread eating themselves.
Slept again, and woke up around four with talk of Egg mufins and god knows what else from MacDonalds.
The last time I woke up was six thirty, and I stayed awake. Ate two ham and cheese sandwiches for breakfast.
Captain's ball was one of the last things we did. With my toes I couldn't do much but be the Captain, which was sad because I think I'm much better playing on the ground than standing in a chair. I was wearing black sandals and my feet were burning. Our team didn't do too well in the first round, getting thrashed around 12 -2. All I did was stand there with my burning feet, occasionally playing with my phone.
The second round we fared better, drawing 4-4. That was good news. Problem was that three of our team, Nicole, Eunice and Trini, weren't doing much besides slacking with me. Nicole did get pretty active towards the end, Eunice somewhat, but Trini has a ridiculous phobia of balls and pretty much didn't touch it for both games.
Gen played so hard she almost had one of her hyperventilation things.
The sec 2s and our biscuit sec 4 senior also did their best, and it was because of them we didn't lose by a wider margin in the first game or lose in the second.
I guess CCA camp wasn't so bad.
Compared to being in Mumbai right now.

AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Wednesday, November 26, 2008
You know, one day we were walking around Thompson (or Thomson, I've never figured out which) Plaza, I saw this weird looking man in a tight gray shirt holding a baby.
I say weird looking because his face was not only fat, ugly, but unshaven. He looked like a neanderthal.
I soon realised that saying he looked like a neanderthal was actually paying him a compliment.
As you probably realised now, this man I was looking at was the famous - or infamous - big yellow object that contributes to the making of Ice Lemon Tea.
Yes, this was Mr. Infamous C.T.C.K. (I can't name him for the sake of naming him over here, he might sue me. Go figure.)
Jeez, he looked like he hadn't shaved for weeks. I'm sure right after school finished he stopped shaving. And that shirt - ! Makes me think of those days we used to see tight shirt after tight shirt.
I wanted to get a picture, but he went into a baby shop. Now, I couldn't go in there. What excuse would I have? Besides, he was coming straight at me now. I wanted to pass the phone to my brother, who could've taken the shot, but he was already inside following Neanderthal.
I got a blurry picture as he went down the escalator, but it could've been any fat, ugly person wearing a gray shirt and carrying a baby so I deleted that. (Speaking of which, we saw many fat ugly people wearing gray shirts and carrying babies. Were they all a bid to disguise the true Neanderthal?)
Today I watched Saving Private Ryan. (Thus the title, which incorporates both events into one. Clever, eh?) Two words:
BLOODY AWESOME.
Behind Band of Brothers (Which can be considered a movie, albeit a nine hour long one) this is probably my favourite war movie. Beats even A Bridge Too Far, which is good in its own right. The Omaha beach scene is absolutely amazing, blood and gore everywhere, although it isn't as bloody as I hoped it would be. Some of the scenes which I supposedly "got" from SPR, although I hadn't watched it at that time, for my Bloody Omaha story weren't exactly featured. But it was still awesome.
Then came the pushing inland and finding Private Ryan part. That part really gives us the feel of war - all the stupid stupidity of it. As one reviewer put it, it's a "Perfect portrayal of the insane stupidity of war and the anguish of all who enter this most foolish of enterprises." It shows why people fight, and how futile it is.
One character that I like was that of Corporal Upham. He's a clerk but got dragged along because he's also a translator. Caused the death of two of his friends because he wasn't brave enough to shoot his gun. But in the end he matured and shot the German straight in the noggin. Typical American Bravado.
But it's a brilliant show and a must see for anyone (like me) who either loves war, hates war, or both loves and hates war.
Does that make sense?

AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Friday, November 21, 2008
I went to IMH on Wednesday.
No, it wasn't to dump my brother there, although I think we should have, but it was to visit the polyclinic that had been set up there.
They told us to go to KK hospital. So we've gone from normal GP to polyclinic to podiatrist to polyclinic and now to hospital.
On Thursday we had another get together, my P6 friends and my juniors. (Juniors. I love that word. Makes me feel smarter.) We went to Game Haven, which actually hadn't opened yet, so I think we got in 'cause of LT's Dad. Went up to level 5 or summat where there was some private room.
Inside was a Wii, ten computers, and a couch. Whoopee. The guys immediately started hogging the Wii, playing guitar hero and singing in those horrible voices of theirs, while the rest of us used the computers and battled each other at Company of Heroes.
Really, Arunima should've played the tutorial first. As it turned out, she was on my side and had completely no idea what to do. Which was bad news for me because Jason and LT were on the opposing team.
I guess she did help me 'cause she sent a squad of Engineers to distract Jason's troops. But they all got killed anyway.
After about three hours in the room the juniors went off and we went to Arunima's house.
On the way there, in the car, I told them about the IMH visit and Arunima went brightly, "Oh, you did? You might see me there!"
Of course you can see the problem now, but it took us a few miliseconds before we burst out laughing.
Bloody hell, Aru! That was hilarious, but I think next time you'd be better off thinking about what you wanted to say before actually saying it.
DC was fun but of course the security guards had to spoil it. When we played it in HPPS we got caught by the teachers and the librarian. And now the security guards.
This one was a Italian looking rabbit man - as in buck teeth. First time he caught us, told us not to run, we said ok. That was the only time I was caught. Later I saw Rav and Deep in front of me, being scolded, so I just ducked into the stairwell conveniently beside me.
The third time was the stupidest. All of the gang 'cept me and Deep were caught by the rabbit man, and he made them promise that they wouldn't run. Then Deep, the catcher, comes along and they all bolt. Right in front of rabbit man.
On Friday we went to KK, where I got my great batman toes.
See, the doctor honestly wasn't a very good one. He kept insisting my toes should be wrapped and bandaged, but my mom kept saying that it wasn't bandaged only because we thought the doctor needed to see it. And now he wants to make me wear bandages around my entire toe (I should show you the pictures) for six weeks, and then they'll see if I need the operation.
Bloody hell.
On Saturday, today, we went to Novena. I saw this guy wearing a BoB shirt, like mine, just that his is light green and mine is black.
Light green? Honestly, this guy either bought it for fun and doesn't watch it properly, or has no sense at all.
To top of this lousy day, it's gonna rain and I've got one helluva headache.
Bloody hell.

AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY Monday, November 17, 2008
You know, on the tenth of november we finally went to the National museum. It was rather fun, especially the History section; I listened to the companion's narration of Singapore's 1941-1945 years twice.
Brad Pitt was overrated - all he does is squirt a water gun at you. Although I guess that's a tiny bit funny.
What else was there? Not much, I think. Definitely nothing that piqued my interest.
Went to the foot doctor again today. Looks like I'll have to be going for an operation. At IMH, no less. I think that's just the polyclinic, though, the temporary Hougang one. Since they put it at Woodbridge I don't think a lot of people go there, so that's where the queue will be the smallest.
Wait till we go there and find out the doctors are in fact mental patients masquerading as doctors.
Went on a book buying spree two days ago, bought about three hundred bucks of novels, factual books and assessment books. Unfortunately for me most of it was spent on assessment books.
Had our flu jab three days ago, which explains why I'm having a flu now. Spent the last two days with my nose clogged up like a forgotten sewer drain.
Nothing else happened this week, I think. We're going cycling tomorrow. Whooppee. That is going to be such a relief for my toes.
QUIZ BY GENEVIEVE (Why must you torture me so?)
You know, I almost lost all my answers 'cause I copied my quote of the day, overriding the quiz copy...thank god I did it on word document and could recover all the answers, or else I'd be banging my head on the keyboard and uttering profanities.

2.) What is your fav. things to do ?
Read. Write. Draw. That’s all. (Hey, I just made a poem. Wow.)
3.) Do you think money can buy happiness ?
If you’re a person like me, yes.
4.) If you're given a chance to recieve something, what would it be ?
Boy, I’d like to read an essay you wrote one day and correct all the errors. Mind you, it’d probably take me a couple of years. "RECEIVE". Uh, it would be all the WWII books in the world.

Books. Computer. Paper. Pencil. Sarcasm.

my mind.

BY GOD, HOW DO YOU EVEN LIVE WITH YOURSELF, HAVING THAT SORT OF ATROCIOUS ENGLISH? I SUGGEST THAT YOU GO AND LOCK YOURSELF UP IN SOME HOLE AND JUST SUFFER A QUICK PAINFUL DEATH INSTEAD OF TRYING TO LIVE WITH THIS HORRIBLE ENGLISH!

See Question 21.
God! I just spent half an hour doing the quiz, and another half pressing the enter button, 'cause I did it on word document and when I pasted it here it came out as one big jumble, with no proper spacing. I feel like dying now. Don't disturb me again.
~Today in History~
1939: Nine Czech students are executed as a response to anti- demonstrations prompted by the death of Jan Opletal; in addition, Czech universities are shut down and over a thousand Czech students sent to concentration camps. Fun, loving guy, our Adolf.
~Quote of the Day~
We are not retreating -- we are advancing in another direction.
-MacArthur. Good excuses he comes up with, doesn't he? All that "I came from Bataan and I shall return" stuff.
Brad Pitt was overrated - all he does is squirt a water gun at you. Although I guess that's a tiny bit funny.
What else was there? Not much, I think. Definitely nothing that piqued my interest.
Went to the foot doctor again today. Looks like I'll have to be going for an operation. At IMH, no less. I think that's just the polyclinic, though, the temporary Hougang one. Since they put it at Woodbridge I don't think a lot of people go there, so that's where the queue will be the smallest.
Wait till we go there and find out the doctors are in fact mental patients masquerading as doctors.
Went on a book buying spree two days ago, bought about three hundred bucks of novels, factual books and assessment books. Unfortunately for me most of it was spent on assessment books.
Had our flu jab three days ago, which explains why I'm having a flu now. Spent the last two days with my nose clogged up like a forgotten sewer drain.
Nothing else happened this week, I think. We're going cycling tomorrow. Whooppee. That is going to be such a relief for my toes.
QUIZ BY GENEVIEVE (Why must you torture me so?)
You know, I almost lost all my answers 'cause I copied my quote of the day, overriding the quiz copy...thank god I did it on word document and could recover all the answers, or else I'd be banging my head on the keyboard and uttering profanities.

Boy, I’d like to read an essay you wrote one day and correct all the errors. Mind you, it’d probably take me a couple of years. "RECEIVE". Uh, it would be all the WWII books in the world.
5.) THINGS you can't live without ?
Books. Computer. Paper. Pencil. Sarcasm.
6.) WHAT are you afraid to lose ?
my mind.
7.) If you've 1 million dollars, what would you do ?
Buy lots and lots of books. And maybe a new computer.
8.) What do you dream of doing in the future ?
Become a historian? I don’t know.
9.) List down 3 good points about the person who gave you this survey.
Genevieve – fun, happy, loves quizzes (I don’t think the last thing is a good point.)
10.) What makes you happy ?
WWII.
11.) What kind of person you hate the most ?
Bimbos.
12.) If you've super-powers, what would it be ?
Time travel, maybe. Or shape shifting. Or teleporting. Or all three.
13.) Would you go for money or happiness ?
Happiness, since money makes me happy.
14.) Who do you think is the most important people in your life ?
My family and friends, and maybe some of those historical figures I’m always going on about. And it’s "are the most important people" or "is the most important person", not "is the most important people".
15.) If you've a boyfriend/ girlfriend, would you die for him/her ?
No. Decidedly not. Because they’ll want to sacrifice their life for you too, and you should only sacrifice one life.
16.) Who's the last person who hugged you ?
Mom, I think, or was it my dad?
17.) What is the one thing that you want to do badly right now ?
Complete the quiz and go on to my own stuff.
18.) Who are you close to ?
Family.
19.) Are you courage to tell the person that you like him ?
"ARE YOU COURAGE"?!?!?!?! WHAT KIND OF DAMN ENGLISH IS THAT?! EVEN MY DAMN BROTHER COULD WRITE BETTER THAN YOU, AND HE GOT TEN OUT OF TWENTY FOR HIS BLOODY COMPOSITIONS! BY GOD, HOW DO YOU EVEN LIVE WITH YOURSELF, HAVING THAT SORT OF ATROCIOUS ENGLISH? I SUGGEST THAT YOU GO AND LOCK YOURSELF UP IN SOME HOLE AND JUST SUFFER A QUICK PAINFUL DEATH INSTEAD OF TRYING TO LIVE WITH THIS HORRIBLE ENGLISH! IT MAKES ME SICK JUST TO THINK OF THE ESSAYS YOU’LL BE WRITING ONE DAY! No.
20.) If you could do one thing all over again, what would it be ?
Live out my P6 year again.
21.) 7 things that scares you ?
Did you just steal from the quiz before this?
22.) 7 things that you like/ love the most ?
See Question 21.
23.) 7 things that are important in your room?
See Question 21.
God! I just spent half an hour doing the quiz, and another half pressing the enter button, 'cause I did it on word document and when I pasted it here it came out as one big jumble, with no proper spacing. I feel like dying now. Don't disturb me again.

1939: Nine Czech students are executed as a response to anti- demonstrations prompted by the death of Jan Opletal; in addition, Czech universities are shut down and over a thousand Czech students sent to concentration camps. Fun, loving guy, our Adolf.

Today is a very special day.
It is one of my favourite days of the year. (Besides JUNE 6, SEPTEMBER 17, DECEMBER 16, MAY 8, SEPTEMBER 1, SEPTEMBER 2, SEPTEMBER 3...etc.)
Because today, four big events happen.
ATTENTION!
TODAY IS THE 11th OF NOVEMBER!
FOUR MAIN EVENTS WILL TAKE PLACE ON THIS SPECIAL DAY!
1. My mother's birthday!
2. Veterans' Day!
3. End of World War One Day!
4. George Patton's Birthday!
My mother is so lucky.
I mean, sharing the same birthday as Patton, plus having Veterans Day and the end of World War One?
I wish my birthday was like that.
Today, I rode a bike.
This might sound stupid, but, well, I RODE A BIKE.
BY MYSELF.
I bet you're gasping with realisation.
Yes, it may sound unbelievable, but the only time I rode a bike without training wheels was this year, and that was a tandem bike.
But today, I did it. In one and a half hours. With lots of grease on my legs (One is a Nike sign). With lots of scratches and a couple of falls.
But the main point is I did it.
Hooray.
Pretty anticlimatic, isn't it?
By the way, for all those poor people that pressed the button, you aren't gonna get any sympathy from me, nor any compensation. I fell for the same thing.
~Today in History~
1885: George Smith Patton is born in California.
1918: Germany signs an armistice agreement with in a railroad car outside of Compiègne in France. The war officially stops at 11:00 (The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month).
1942:Germany completes their occupation of France.
Every year: Veterans' Day.
~Quote of the Day~
We want to get the hell over there. The quicker we clean up this Goddamned mess, the quicker we can take a little jaunt against the purple pissing Japs and clean out their nest, too. Before the Goddamned Marines get all of the credit.
-George Patton (Just to humor him - c'mon, it's his birthday!) displaying what can be classified as TAB: Typical American Bravado.

Today, we went to watch the new Bond movie.
It was good fun (to anyone who likes plenty of action, anyway) and a couple of good wisecracks but the best part of it was...
it was free.
So that's good news. But the movies we go to see are either free or subsidized, so it doesn't really matter anyway.
And before you start berating me about being such a lucky, obnoxious brat, I should remind you that we don't go for movies very often. Perhaps three times a year?
Right, on to the movie. There was a helluva lot of action, right from the first part, so if you don't like fighting or little, itsy bitsy pieces of blood here and there, don't watch.
The rooftop chase was a lot like the Bourne Ultimatum, although I supposed that has to be expected as the stunt director (not to be confused with stunt co-ordinator) was the same chap that did the Bourne series.
There was a bit of an unnecessary part with this Brit lady (Who got slathered in oil in the end, so too bad for Bond) but it's quite alright, I guess. Good sub plot involving Bond trying to get over his romantic interest killed in the first movie. Whatever.
As long as it's got fast cars, fantastic technology, guns, blood, and plenty of action, it's still a Bond movie, and it's still fun.

1942: Operation Torch! The Allies land their armies in North Africa. So long forever, Desert Fox Erwin Rommel!

Well, the American elections are over.
And I have to say this election is the only election I've actually studied in minute detail.
I didn't for the Singapore elections (mainly because they were so boring). Guess that makes me the great Un-Patriot.
But, well, in the end the results were pretty much as expected. Barack Obama, with the landslide victory.
It really isn't John McCain's fault. It's just that he appears to be a short old man with a Vietnam war record from the same party as George Bush.
And of course, everyone hates George Bush.
In the end, McCain made a pretty good speech about how they should now unite and save America from the ecenomic crisis. Not spiteful to Obama or anything, in fact pretty happy for him.
On his part, Obama made a great, charismatic speech about how they could, in his words, "put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can. "
Well, Obama quoted Winston Churchill in the "This is your Victory" part, and Lincoln twice. Which is fun but just a side note. And McCain kind of paraphrased Eisenhower's note in case D-Day failed when he said "the fault is mine, not yours".
Another side note: Everyone seems to love ending their speeches with "Thank you, Good night, God bless you all, and God bless America" or something like that. Bush did it, Obama did it, McCain did it. Pretty funny.
Today I got up at 7 AM and went down for breakfast. At 0900 I went down at switched on the TV and watched the news (Channel News Asia's continuous coverage of the elections) for the longest time in my life, all the way until 1235. I even brought down a piece of paper, wrote down all the fifty states, and when either Obama or McCain won that state I'd draw either a donkey or an elephant respectively besides it. But at 1235 my mom dragged us off to go to Novena square, just fifteen odd minutes before Obama's speech. In the car I got my mom to switch on the radio and turned it to BBC (It's not funny) where I got snatches of the speech as well as lots of noise and partying in the background where the reporters were reporting.
Then I went for guitar class, and on the way home got to listen to more of Obama's speech.
Heh. "Seized by American Political fervour" might not be the exact term to describe it, but it sort of comes pretty close.
This has been a historical event, the first black president ever in the history of the United States of America. And it took a long time coming, but it finally came. I congratulate Mr. Obama for that. He has done his family, his supporters, his country, his people, and non-racism proud.
Another thing I wanted to mention. At the end of Mr. Obama's speech, there is a scene in which Joe Biden, senator of Delaware and now Vice President of the United States, comes on stage and exchanges a hug with Obama. That to me is a perfect picture of non-racism. A black man and a white man, arm in arm, waving to the crowd - the symbol of non-racism, of a new hope, of a new era and a new life for all Americans.

I don't get what's with all this brain stuff. I already said, Einstein's is still around, you can go get hold of his, just as long as it's not mine.
I forgot to mention that I had my toenails cut. By a podiatrist. Which is a foot doctor. And now I'm supposed to put antibacterial gauze into the cuts, between the nail and the flesh, to prevent it from swelling up again. It may be working or it may not be working. There's still pus coming out, but I think that's just from the cut.
My birthday's coming in two months...problem is I already got my present so there's nothing to look forward to. I did get what I wanted, but I came across this other great book so I want that too. Ah well, I don't think I got my Christmas present yet.
Saw Pheodora and Rosalinda at Junction 8 yesterday, when we were there to borrow books. (Got quite a good haul this round, Letters from Iwo Jima, Midway, a historical fiction novel, and a book on the battle of Tralfagar.) Not much of a coincidence once you think about it really, seeing as everyone goes there anyway.
Today I had to write a chinese composition about "an unforgettable exam" (Sorry, I don't want this blog to have even one word of chinese on it) and it sucked. Big time. I don't even know what I was writing.
At least I had fun doing Maths yesterday. Finished two maths papers before Jason finished his maths paper and got to slack for the rest of the day.

But of course, Hitler was already pretty stupid anyway.)
