BMT again

Going back to P. Tekong for BMTC Graduation Parade rehearsal on 29 Sept 10 has never had such an exciting affair with relative to my feelings on Day 1 - enlistment - last year. I actually couldn't really sleep well the night before. Upon reaching the mainland ferry terminal, memories started flashing back effortlessly, as if they were moments of yesterday; everything image remained clearly dotted with much details. Every part of the island, or at least the places I've gone yesterday, I've seen it in a different light. Quality accommodation, million dollar sea view, good food - you name it - but other than the training. Now back again as an LCP, things looked less scary than more than one year ago when the recruits' way of life is to keep going irregardless, don't think.

Probably somehow that's also because cousin Leo's passing out, that made the parade more worthwhile. Saw him at Cookhouse, very familiar sight. But I was too tired to talk, after consecutive hours of playing.

2 Oct, Graduation Parade (formerly Passing out parade 'POP) will be held on Marina Bay Floating Platform. First ever. Will be there for a sound check with 14 mics planted all around, and with that, more occasional pitching mistakes will be slightly more audible. Uh oh..

Repertoire





And finally, Bandstand:

Optional Inspection march: Pride, Discipline & Honour (Favourite inspection piece!!)

I had thought this would be my last moment (or photo) there... who knows I got to be there again, and happily so when so many others dread to enter this so called shutter island. lol. Don't blame me, but seriously BMT is fun, a life's experience and a big School to begin with: where we learnt life's skills.

Fixing a Broken Heart

There was nothing to say the day she left
I just filled a suitcase full of regrets
I hailed a taxi in the rain
Looking for some place to ease the pain, ooh
Then like an answered prayer
I turned around and found you there

You really know where to start
Fixing a broken heart
You really know what to do
Your emotional tools can`t cure any fool
Whose dreams have fallen apart
Fixing a broken heart

Ever could understand what you're going through
There must be a plan that led me to you
Cause of the hurt just disappears
In every moment you are near, yeah
Just like an answered prayer
You make the loneliness easy to bear


Soon the rain will stop falling baby
Let's all forget the past
'cause here we are at last



PS: It's a lovely song, by the way.

Woman's Charter Enhancement

So there's this new rule on divorced men for their one-beloved wives. If you're a man, you'll for sure feel unfair. Where the heck is the proclaimed sexual equality in Singapore? Looks like going to Vietnam is the way to go, buddies!!

And there's this funny comment too, and I feel it's true:

"Look, the whole episode is about the garment using Woman’s charter to castrate men. Men’s contribution to the family has been overlooked and women these days can fuck around and still have the cheek to ask for compensation.

Can Singapore women cook? Most of them can’t. That’s why so many hawkers and restaurants are filled. Singapore women simply cannot do house work.

Then its the maid. What’s the point of making S$2-3000, pay most of it to the maid, and then on transport eat out and cloths. How many women dump their kids to Pino maids and failed their duties as mothers? Too many! What is the role of the women? The education system has been training the women to compete with the men. That is what its so fucked up because most women are supposed to raise the kids and not fight in the field. If they want to, they will be miserable and stressed out. Its simple common sense, but they do not have it. They just want to drive big cars and get high pay, without first look into the mirror.

How many local women will please the husband? Please the husband? I know many Singapore women are damn good in scolding the husband in public and make the husband malu like fuck. How many times you see women hit the men in public and scold vulgarities openly. Why they worry? Got women charter what, I can hit you you cannot touch me.

No wonder, no wonder, 30% of Singapore women past 35 years are all single. These women can be damn critical to local men, but their legs can spread damn wide when they see Angmo. We all know that!

Lets see what the news been telling us these days. Men refused to pay. Men refused to maintain the divorced wife. Of course lah! Stupid ah kenna trash by the stupid women still must pay money ah? How many women fabricate stupid stories to file for divorce? I have seen too many! Everyday, 40 cases in the family court file for divorce, and many are raised by the WOMEN! And if you read the case carefully, it all boils down to the women having adultery or not doing her basic duties, then, BLAME THE MEN, of course!

Lets see if LKY’s wife given him a green hat, will he still pay maintenance? Of course he will, because his wife wrote the Women’s charter to grab him by his balls.

I see only female rights activists and females kaw peh kaw bu about men not paying. FINE. Very soon all local women will be singles and attached to angmo for free fucks. There will be no more local women producing babies but China women or Vietnam women. Good luck!

(For those men who want to get married, you better read the Women’s charter carefully before hand. Its damn biased and very scary. If you sign ROM without knowing it, you are a damn bloody stupid idiot.)"

IR Shuttle

Gov’t takes action on free bus rides to casinos

Read: Yahoo! Singapore Fit-To-Post

My comment posted:

Why probe over this nitty gritty thing? I think they have nothing better to do. Election is coming, so wayang abit and show that they care... lol... The free shuttle is definitely a good initiative, because people go there for tonnes of other reasons, i.e. wine and dine, have fun in theme park etc. This is also the reason why the PM and his administration (who approved the plan) called this an IR, 'Integrated Resorts' to be exact, and prohibits the media from using the term 'Casino'. Now, they slap themselves on the face with this probe because gambling has instead become THE thing to do at the Resort.

I'm puzzled to the max.

and please, don't remove the shuttle. Heartlanders are really enjoying it. Don't take away something that will make us happy. Don't take away our LIFE.
