[300808] blast from the past

i've been reliving my childhood this past week going through hours of videos on youtube, remember all the cartoons that we watched while growing up? Those endless battles between the forces of good and evil that enthralled us every afternoon and every Saturday morning, the ones that compelled us to pester our parents to buy accompanying action figures?

Cartoons like:

and

cartoons that i watched while growing up, while the graphics and animation aint nothing to shout about, they are deeply embedded in my memories, i grew up watching it or rather, these cartoons grew up with me. They're just a part of me as anything else. Been hooked on the 'modern' version of the transformers as well. Transformers Animated. (duh! it's an animated show already, ppl know that...)

a much revamped version with more quirks and punchlines as well as an interesting storyline that led me to spend a better part of 2 days watching all 26 episodes. I love me anime and cartoons, we all grow up but there's always a kid left in us. Glad some things never change, all these cartoons are accompanied by the same old whining and pestering by kids to their parents to buy the action figures.

[240808] AHM down, Northface 100 next

Finished AHM earlier today... crap, i need to run more... ALOT more... considering the fact that i took 3 hours to finish the AHM this time round compared to last year's virgin attempt at the AHM (2hours:30 minutes) and i would have thought that after 2 full marathons, i would have no problem with a measly 21.1 km...

I was proved wrong however, the race started brightly... a nice constant pace and easy running UNTIL we met that GAL, the pony tailed gal that always seemed to be in front of us no matter how we try to close the gap... redfox and me decided to pace her. Biggest mistake we made, that gal is AGRESSIVE with a capital A and with her petite size, squeezing in amongst the big burly guys proved to be no hassle but not so for redfox and me. Tried pacing her and we were only able to keep at it for all of 3 km, after that, she disappeared into the mass of humanity. The rest of the race was the usual, with me cramping up at the 15km mark... sighz... on a positive note: this year's organisation of the race was better.. as compared to last year's 1.5 hours wait to collect our baggage, this time round it took less than 2 minutes. For ONCE, SAF did something right!

Note to self: If anyone would want to destroy our nation's military capabilities, all they need to do would be to detonate explosive devices before the AHM. Practically everybody's there... Naval Divers, Commandoes, Guards, Most of the Infantry etc etc. SCAREEE thought.

Went through the interviews, I GOT IN!!!! YAH-NESS!!!

[180808] i hate being in transition

I just hate transition periods in life, you know what i mean. When you're in between jobs, in between your major phases in life and the like... i just hate the feeling of slacking around having nothing to do, waking up at ridiculous hours and watching your bank account bleed dry by your inactive input but hyperactive output. I also absolutely detest going for numerous interviews and then have to go through the waiting game.

I need a job asap. Part-time, full-time, contract, temporary whatever i can get my hands on. Anyone has a need for someone with a diploma in biotechnology with 2.5 years of experience in the Service Industry?

ANYONE?

Personal note to wiwin: Gal, i asked you for an invitation to your blog, not co-contributor status. or is it one of your plans? hahaha... you need a guest poster on your blog?
