That was highly informative, Supersize Me. Spent today having breakfast with my sista's and baby at Coffee Bean @ Wheelock Place, then watching the movie at Shaw House. No worries of spoilers here as you have to watch it to feel compelled to say "I wash my hands off fast food". Within just 30 days of eating junk food, Morgan Spurlock had to diet for 8 weeks to purge himself of the damage he had done to his liver. No fair, there's no caramel sundaes in McDonald's and no Double Gulp in 7-Eleven like they have in the USA. Wonder if Shiuan and Caryn did eat McDonald's after all. Had more fun with the digital camera though i never got to use the function that has captured my imagination since digital photography came about: panoramic view mode. The one where you see the maximum field of vision a human sees on a picture. Just for the fun of it, I snapped a shot of the nearest McDonald's after the movie, which happened to be just outside. And throughout the show a dude out to show his indignance towards screening such a anti-fast food movie guffawed and snorted at the punchlines, all the while clutching his precious paper bag of takeaway McBurger to his chest. Reminds me of the T-shirt people wear that has the golden arches but ends off with a "sh*t". Book in time! Hopefully Garfield is next, VCD or big screen, doesn't matter.

SIS(SY)PEC?

Must make it a point to update this thing, once a week at least. Just heard on the news that SISPEC (School of Infantry Specialists, for the uninitiated) will be shifting over to Pasir Laba Camp next year. That's a disaster for me and me bro (shown above)!! The 2 month reduction was a relief to hear, but the SISPEC which has shifted to a new place (from where we once went through hell together to a relative heaven on mainland Singapore) will no longer hold fond memories. Days when we chilled out listening to the radio together, did guard duty and still chilling out listening to the radio together, getting screwed by the warrants and yet still chilling out listening to the radio together. Oh wait we imitated the way he yelled at us as well. "Wake up your ******* idea, soldier" By making various references to the parts of the human anatomy, the army and its people have more than filled me up with colourful languages that i can now say are at my disposal. Still, we can bug our friend to pass us the photos we took there. Yes, contrary to popular belief, there are people who "test the system*" here in the SAF and bring in cameras every now and then and snaps pictures of soldiers in compromising positions. And when they're not doing that they use it to snap shots for friends of many years so they can remember the fond times they spent together. With all the potential Nights Off the new trainees will be getting since they are not stranded somewhere on a deserted island, they'll probably end up soft and fuzzy... like a teddy bear! This picture was taken by a Canon Powershot A80 =) but it doesn't matter does it, it was compressed to be viewed online =X

Now for a little spoof of the Straits Times Life segment which features In's and Out's, ensuring we keep ourselves at the helm of the happenings at home. IN: Drinking your own urine cures baldness and boils, straightens hunched backs, and boosts virility. (Source: The New Paper 18Jun04) OUT: Drinking beer in moderation may reduce heart disease and cataracts by as much as 50 percent (Folklore. You hardcore alcoholics never give up do you?)

The (bilingual) voices in my head include: The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love & Ou De Yang - Gu Dan Bei Ban Qiu (Lonely Northern Hemisphere haha)

*test the system => going against established standing orders of the Singapore Armed Forces and therefore courting trouble
