Moving back home
After 4 years on my own in NS and university, I am back home again.
It's supposed to be good that I have dinner prepared and laundry done, and no more chores like sweeping and cleaning my room, but seemed to lose something.
Lost an independence. My handphone actually starts ringing if I hang out later with my friends. *shrugz* Yup I know my mother is concerned about me, but I know how to take care of myself.
Lost a privacy. Need some personal space at times but there's no longer a place I can hole up alone anymore.
Lost some friends. Okie not exactly a loss, but used to be able to find people go for dinner and jogging by shouting out loud, but now everyone is apart.
Oh well, oh well. May be back to living out soon if I opt to stay-in for my ALOC. A money-saving option, given that all meals can be indented. We shall see.

Team Gathering at Pan Pac Hotel
What can a big group of guys and girls do in a 5-star hotel room?
Team gathering lah. Haha... Met up njcanoeists at the Pan Pacific thanks to organiser Shihui, though her info dissemination leaves much to be desired. An upscale chalet really, with "I have never..." and lotsa drinks to intoxicate our livers. Unhealthy, but we don't really care.
Really had fun, with old and new jokes infiltrating the room. Bunch of greats friends to have! Too bad it's mother's day today and I didn't want to stay.

I don't need a voyeur!
I hope you are reading this, because I am going to articulate in no uncertain terms for my bust-up.
Please for goodness sake show respect for people's privacy. Of course people are curious and dun mind a little gossip every now and then, but if you keep doing it despite being warned, you are asking for it.
We have our own reasons to keep things under wraps, and I don't owe anyone any reason.
In concrete terms, these are what I hate:
1. Peeping into my phone when smsing.
I confronted you about it before. Your answer of "unintentional" is totally unacceptable, though at that time I did not want to pursue. It is basic courtesy not to look when people are smsing, or is it not obvious to you? It has to be intentional to notice clearly who the sender of the msg is and what I am writing.
2. Announcement to the whole grp BEHIND my back.
I am not rich nor famous, I don't need paparazzi. My privacy is totally intruded! Please!
3. Constant probing.
You may not realise it, but your msn messages are prying into our privacy. Move on, we are an open secret why ask the obvious and keep harping on it?
4. Jumping to conclusion
God knows what kinda conspiracy theories you weaved to Phil. We are not what you make us out to be. And if you are MAN enough, it's men's talk! Don't have to go back to bug her! And then there's Jo last time too. C'mon, we settle it b/w us!
I have been tolerant enough. I ignored, acted blur and swallowed these crap. But there is a limit to how much I can stomach. What happened is a culmination of all the above and not your perception that I am unhappy you two chatted. We are all mutual friends, and I certainly hope that we remain so.
Spare me all these nonsense, PLEASE!

The weighty issue about SAF
I'm in danger of losing my performance bonus and promotion! Heard from the chief clerk at ALS-UC that failing to pass the BMI will have severe penalty!
Rumours say that the BMI passing mark will be lowered from the current 27 to 25 after the new CDF took over! After some calculation, I still need to cut 3 - 4 kg to pass my BMI... Haiz why why...
Actually BMI doesn't measure much. It doesn't account for pple with greater bone density, or people who are more muscular and hit the gym more often. Maybe SAF should consider using a combination of BMI and body fat percentage to determine the status of a serviceman's healthy weight.
Hey, I am not only defending myself okie! I am trying to speak in all fairness and as objectively as possible!
