Photodump! - Mian Bao Che!

PB200023

This is so CLASSIC! the mian bao che!! I want one! haha.. saw it at ikea when I went there to study. After I parked, I rested in the car for a while and ended up sleeping inside for half an hour! Oh man..

And also, the mission trip people left this morning. After which I had to rush to school to hand in stuff.

I feel like I really know whats it means to covet. Haha.. I’ve been contemplating my recent material desires. All of which are not required for life.

Those are the 3.. nay.. 4 lines I shall write tonight! Good night world! My dad comes back at 615, I have to get up and pick him tomorrow!

Photodump! - Piece of Creative Junk Edition

I decided that I am a poor man.. So I’m not going to spend money. But thankfully,  I am handy poor man. So I fixed up the headphones with wire from a hanger, some cable tie and duct tape. The end result is a frankensteined pair of headphones. Added Some duct tape on the other side so it doesn’t break too and make me go through the entire labourious process again.

Grado SR-60

To buy or not to buy.. haha, I don’t even have an mp3 player now! Silly thing disappeared on me along with my thumbdrive. It must be somewhere I haven’t looked. Anyway, this one and the panasonic RP-HTX7E are both kinda in my list. One thing I now look for is like.. the toughness of the design. The lousy Creative junk plastic snapped already and I took care of them somemore. So ridiculous.

The Road is Loooooooong…

Well, I’m quite convinced that bible verses are not meant to be memorized for nothing. Oh well.. I had an esasperating talk this evening over dinner so I’m like quite shut off already. It was like talking to myself 10 years ago but more antagonizing than that.

I’ve come to realise I’m so sian cos, I haven’t revisited the very basis of my beliefs for so many years. I thought I could leave it behind. When I see someone trying to go down that path to acceptance its so difficult. Cos, he drags me through the whole laborious process again.. which I know ultimately leads no a fruitless end.. no answers.. and just a leap of faith.

Why is the bible true? strictly speaking, no answers, I just accept it.

Is the earth young? Strictly speaking, no answers, I just accept it.

Is there a God? Again, same thing.

For those who claim to have answers, you’re deluded. Everyone presents their “compelling” evidence. Its really what you want to believe. How do you tell someone who’s searching for answers there isn’t one until you choose the answer? Haha.. don’t ask me, I made my choice long ago.

Cantata Practise

Its not fun to be Kok Wing and the soundman at the same time. In fact, I truely believe it is totally impossible. Wah, I was like.. ultra freaking out by the 30th minute into the cantata. I was trying to cue the ppl, press the powerpoint whch I had no idea how to, then I had to babysit the soundman we hired cos I couldn’t expect him to know the entire script. Worse, we never do sound check so it was a totaly trainwreck the first 30 min. Then after that the sound was just horrible.

I kinda feel we wasted money and the entire night. The only thing we did manage to pratise abit is cast positioning on stage and also, the spotlights. Argh.. Can someone just donate 2.5k so we can get 5 decent mics for main cast and singing? I’m like so tired of working with these which are a feedback nightmare and so hard to conceal. For sound problems, most of the time just throwing money at the problem will solve it and I really think this is like.. a super limitation la. Hai. Well, the mics I’m aiming for are about 5 times more expensive than the crap ones we have so its going to be a dream for now.

Supper

After sending Shirley home, me and shawn went for supper (fruits la.. I’m not getting any fatter okay..). Along the way, a guy just got knocked down along ave 3.. so we stopped behind, turned on the hazard lights and went to see/help. Apparently this ultra suay driver was passing through the green light when this boy of 16 ran across the road towards downtown east, just finish O levels somemore.

The guy hit his head quite hard, the windscreen was like..

PB160005

smashed but not shattered then got a small pool of blood slowly collecting under his head. it was quite gross cos I din notice he was bleeding until I put him on his side and saw the blood on my hands. Not much but just.. oh well. Din wanna touch it cos.. its not my blood and I don’t know him la! Anyway, he was breathing heavy so that was good la. If he wasnt then I’d like.. totally freak out cos I’d probably have only about 7 minutes before it becomes fatal. And of course.. after torturing recruits for 2 years about the finer points of CPR, I’d be well qualified to do it. Well, the things is.. if you do it and then you manage to sustain him for a couple of minutes until ambulance come, thats good. If you do it and he like.. gets some permanent injury (due to neck injury or some chest injury) because of you then you kena la. I think Singapore doesn’t have good samiritan laws to protect ppl who help and prosecute those who are qualified but do nothing so.. haha.. that like, doesn’t help our asian and more probably, Singaporean by-stander attitudes.

Long story short, I took some pictures after the ambulance left. Most of the blood was in this denim shorts they put under his head. I hope he’s fine. Quite tragic to have something happen to you after your exams and all.

After that me and shawn carried on to eat supper. When we crossed the road, I noticed he looked extra times both ways. haha.. we both laughed it off saying now paranoid already.. After I came back home. I was just thinking, I din feel scared.. Actually its more like I din feel anything at all even and wondered what it would be like to do this full time. Think quite cool. But I guess if you sign on its probably a crap/thankless job and you won’t be going around saving lives but writing reports most of the time. Oh well. I’m off to bed! Think I need to do some papers to test myself. Shall wake up earlier and pump myself full of caffine.
