[ 949. Forex ]
Lessons learnt:
1) Check your currency strength before deciding between cash and debit. Should your currency dropped while you are holidaying, (i.e. your currency are worth less than what you paid for) use your debit. Otherwise use cash.
2) Basic rule of the thumb: change sufficient cash. Don't bring C$400 and expect it to tide you over for two weeks without catered meals.
3) Swipe only if you have not enough cash. Otherwise, expend all your cash first.

Ok, let me talk about MEDICAL bills. Piece of advice, don't ever fall sick in a foreign country. Especially on a non-working day. Especially in a small town where doctors are limited to the governmental hospitals. Especially when you're doing personal travel. Yeah.

Went into the casino with the dudes on the night before we departed edmonton. Not being big gamblers, ben, derek and myself decided to chip in twenty bucks each on the roulette table. After an hour's work or so, we manage to double our money and quickly left the place then. So nonetheless, we retreated to a closing coffee joint with a wonderful staff who agreed to serve us even though he was closing shop for the day. What a nice guy.

I didn't tell you this, but there was actually bears at the deployment sites that we went to. This was one of those bears, and sadly, one of my best shots of the bears. We were lucky (or unlucky) to run into one while sending ration one day, and actually i thought it looked pretty sad. Just a day ago the rangers shot down a bear. Perhaps its a relative. Haiz.
And this is the motel owner's dog, toby. Toby's cute, and he doesn't bite! Though he has a thing for my little pouch... always trying to sniff it each time he sees me with it. Heh. Well well...

[ 941. Endex Summary ]
Watched initial d and wars of the world today. Wasn't quite enthusiastic about watching initial d actually, but since i was too tired to counter suggest, and there were simply too much hype about the movie, so i decided to try it anyway. Turns out to be quite a tasteful movie. Storyline was short and simple, a bit too much of a lala land story. Well, thankfully there isn't as much car racing as i thought it'd contain. I'm not a car fan anyway. Lolx. Wars of the world was better, i thought. Any steven spielberg classic. Boy, i wonder how he always get those destruction scenes done. Must have cost a lot eh. Hahahaha. To think gary fell asleep during the movie! Hahaha. Anyway... It's kind of similar to 28 days. except there isn't so much gore. And a bit too much of the good guys always prevail kind of thing. Hahaha.
Wanted to blog about my trip experiences. But kind of procrastinating since i'm still recovering from the jet lag from the return trip. think the return trip is taking more of a toil than the forward trip. Somehow i wonder why too. There's many things i wanna talk about. About how i left everything behind and for once, really enjoyed myself in a trip, considering all the disasters i had in previous overseas trips. Hahaha. I was initially kind of apprehensive on going on this trip just days before taking off. Had some unpleasant encounters with bso over the past weeks, though now i guess our relationship has been reduced to purely diplomatic. Given that i ran into two separate accidents in the previous trips i went upon with my school, i was afraid history would repeat itself and marred my trip again. Thankfully, nothing of the sort happened, apart from the food poisoning that struck me on the second day. I guess i have to thank god for healing me so quickly, as compared to ben who only came up and running three days after the incident. Also, I was uncertain about how i'd gel with the operators that i'd be spending quite a fair bit of time with too. But they turned out to be a friendly bunch, or at the very least, that's what i saw for the last 2.5 weeks i spent with them.
Nothing really unpleasant happened during the trip, except for a couple of minor incidents of either misunderstandings or just insensitive rank remarks made by some people. For example, someone told me, "what are you doing here looking around? look around here, everyone here is so much higher rank than you. Go find the others!" No names mentioned, but it's totally insensitive i guess. Didn't want to quarrel with him again, so i simply walked off to join the operators. At least they're more accepting. Yeah.
Personality differences is pretty obvious in the nine operators, though i daresay that they gel pretty well together. Perhaps it's like any other group, people either become very good friends or enemies when they go through something together. Eugene told me that they do have their weaknesses and ugly nature as well, which i can't disagree, but generally they are a funloving cooperative and team spirited workers. I have to say that i might have gotten a bit too oversensitive (it's like so me) and let my thoughts flowed a bit too much, but i guess they are nevertheless the main source of my companionship and fun for the duration of the exercise. Thanks dudes. Shan't forget this experience. ;)
Elvin's posted down to ops room. And why did i choose to mention that, cuz i thought the possibility of myself going down to ops room was pretty high since i was there before. And with all the increasing politics in the ops room, and also my working relationship with ssg ow and brian, i really can't imagine how it'd turn out if i was posted there again. No doubt it'd be a flattering posting, but this kind of flattery i can do without. Contrastly, i'd rather stay with the platoon, with my friends that i have known pretty well, and do the things they do instead of playing bows arrows and shields everyday. Diplomacy is not exactly my cup of tea, and hence i know where i should head.
Well well. Think i've blabbered enough. Let's see what more photos i can put up. Tata for now.

Anyway... it's been a very enjoyable trip i guess. Good rooms, good food, good dudes around me for company and fun. Think the bravo guys are a really great bunch of peeps to know. Jolly dudes, cranky antics and crazy ideas sometimes. Hahahaha.
Nonetheless, as you guessed it, we actually stayed in bunk for meals for most of last week due to severe indigestion problems of our wallets. Overspending, no. But overshopping was evident when you see the bus so full of luggages today, we had a seats shortage. Boy, we even had to put luggages around the isle. You will wonder if we were on an exercise or on a holiday. Hahahaha.
Reached edmonton city this morning, and this time round, we're staying directly opposite the west edmonton mall, instead of half a city away like last week when we came to town.
Highlight of the week i'd guess would be the commanders' visit. Div comd and bde comd came down to visit us, and spent a couple of days at cold lake. Think we sort of disappointed him the first day, but nonetheless think we produced results on the last day. Hahaha. Not to mention the western bbq we had at the motel itself on the last day. Loads of food, mostly steaks and ribs. And catered food from the chinese restaurant. Oh my goodness.... i miss my laksa! Bachor mee! Hokkien mee! I wanna go homeeeeeeeeeee......................................
Aye aye. C'mon xuan. It's only 36 hours more to Singapore. And not to mention, when someone reads this, you'll jolly well be on the plane back already.

Lucky you were born that far away so
So we could both make fun of distance
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
The lucky fact of your existence
Baby I would climb the Andes solely
To count the freckles on your body
Never could imagine there were only
ten Million ways to love somebody
Lero lo le lo le

Can't you see...I'm at your feet
Whenever, wherever
We're ment to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
You're over, You're under
You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear
Lucky that my lips not only mumble
They spill kisses like a fountain
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't confuse them with mountains
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
To run for cover when I need it
And these two eyes are for no other
The day you leave we'll cry a river

You'll never have to wonder
We can always play by ear
But that's the deal my dear

That you'll live
Lost in my eyes

We'll learn to be together
I'll be there and you'll be near
And that's the deal my dear
You're over, You're under
You've got me head over heels
There's nothing left to fear
If you really feel the way I feel

[ 936. Canada Day 15: Two Weeks ]
Well, bso was commenting about how good my nsf life is. Let's set the context right. He was going into an argument with me again before deciding otherwise. Cuz chances are, you know what will happen. No doubt, my nsf life is a much sheltered one, but i can tell you that i have my fair share of experiences that many other nsfs won't get to experience. You people always come around telling us, if we were in army, we would die if we carried this kind of attitude. I tell you, there may be certain in-born personality traits of people, but the environment breeds the kind of character that we become. Ultimately, by saying that we're ill-disciplined, basically it means that you're slapping yourself in the face. Just like how many asians love to say how a child turns out depends on the kind of upbringing by the parents, sadly, this is also true of any hierarchal systems.
I've been pretty blessed to be in my unit though. Out of all my peers, i'm lucky to get into a coy with girls (hence there's a limit to certain things instructors can do), a platoon with the mildest pc, and narrowly escaped sispec. Getting into signals, and into the right unit, i guess i have one of the better combat-pay vocation in my bmt platoon, and even among my peers. Given that if i've been through sispec, through probably armour (like most of my pals) then eventually end up somewhere in army, where i'll probably hate ns life, officers and warrants. Things will change. People will know how to adapt to ensure their own survival. Even if that means i'll have to sign more extras if i had treaded down a different route. But it'll also means that i won't voice out matters as much as i'm doing so now. And of course, i won't be so enthusiastic in doing some things that i'm doing now. I'll just end up serving ns like everyone else, waiting for nights off, waiting for weekends, waiting for block offs and leaves... etc etc. In short, serve and f*** off.
So well, in short, don't take my, or for that matter, anyone's attitude in a certain setting and context and fit them into another environment and keep telling us how we'd die if we were there with this attitude. Attitude has to be moulded and influenced by circumstances, and nsfs are smart enough to adapt to wherever they are in. What we are today, by our fault, is because we don't know how to count our blessings. But whether is it totally our fault, it's up to you do decide.

So don't, i mean don't, laugh at me if i really gain weight when i get back. I'm so screwed. And i just can't stop eating cuz i realize, when you're cold, you get hungry. When you're tired, you get hungry. When you're bored, you get hungry. And when you are hungry, you eat. And eat. And eat.
And eat.
And when you get to a new country, you just want to try everything once. And everything in a big place like canada isn't a joke. Frankly, everything in singapore is enough to kill someone with diabetes, stroke and high blood pressure all at one shot.

Whee... finally had time to edit my photos! Haha. Took the entire day to edit my photos that i took over at west edmonton mall. Like i said yesterday, the mall is HUGH! So well... FEAST on the pictures you lucky fellows...
Yes... $3.50 of my $200 spent goes to this small little cup of ice-cream... my greatest sin ever since mom started buying all those forzen yogurt back home. Hahahaha. Goodness us! Have you ever seen blue ice-cream? I had that! And it was nice... sour, yet sweet at the same time. Not that creamy. And the buskin robbins here actually display the nutritional values of each of their ice-cream in their display tubs! Hahahaha... that's like so cool... literally!
Eugene bought me a can of beer last week, it's still lying in my fridge cuz i never got the time (and the strength) to get to it. Haha. Nonetheless, i shamelessly grabbed his less-than-half dozen cans of beer and took a photo of it. Well, according to the beer guru, he enjoys the canadian lager so much better than tiger back home! Hahaha.. wadever he meant by smooth. Lolx.
While at edmonton mall, benji and i went shopping around by ourselves, then we wanted to have pasta for dinner. Alas, the old spaghetti factory was overflowing with customers, so we sought alternatives after realizing we could wait up to 40 mins. We ended up at the valentino's pizza and steakhouse. The place is small and cosy, akin to your country mana at suntec. However, we chose to sit by the outside, and we two had our little pasta dinner over there. Nice ambience, fabulous food, and to complete with our meal, great service by the waiters and waitresses. A worthy 20 canadian bucks.

[ 925. Canada Day 10: Shopping Spree ]
Left the motel to embark on the 300km bus ride back to edmonton on saturday morning, dropping of halfway because gary needed to pee. Found this really nice homemade toffee sweets, and bought a pack to try first. And boy it was delicious! Will scout for more to bring back to singapore as sovenirs. Muahaha. After all, they are rather cheap, ok, relatively cheap. The bus driver was really nice. He suggested dropping us at the mall first, then pick us up later in the day when we guys are done. Initially CO suggested going to check in at five first, but in the end, heck with it- we shopped all the way till closing time!
Exploring the mall was a tidious task. Initially the group of operators, myself and sgt ben were in a group. First stop: Levi's! And levi's was actually having a sale on quite a lot of their jeans! Alas, their newest 501s (those wash off kinds) are not on sale. Damn that. But well, a 529 would have sufficed for me! C$49.99 for a pair equals to S$73, including taxes! That's like almost 50 bucks off any regular priced item in singapore! Later on after lunch, me and ben just broke off from group and went on a splurge mode almost anyway. Went to get a shirt and slips for bro, a shirt for myself, a few souvenirs for my friends, and something for her. Still not complete with my sovenirs shopping, but well, i'll see what i can do. Haha. So here's an estimate of my expenses yesterday:
my stuff (jeans, belt, etc) = $80
food = $38
sovenirs = $70
taxes = $12
total = $200
Gosh, i paid that much in taxes. And apparently, you can only claim GST refunds for receipts with a total of 50 bucks and above only. Argh.... And i don't think you can claim for food, and any other stuff you consume in here. Dammit. Ok, let's forget about taxes. And get back to the mall. We found this chinese supermarket and we were delighted! Gosh, it's been so long since we last saw something cheena. Well, i personally wasn't very interested due to my unfortunate encounter with chinese food on the 2nd day of my trip. Hahaha. Well, we went into the supermarket and shopped! Went for the instant noodles, which will be most likely what i'll be living on for the next few days. Come to think of it, i'm actually not that broke, that just i'm down to my last couple of hundred dollar bills and i don't exactly feel comfortable with that given that i'll be here for another 8 days or so. Gosh, may God bless me with prudence. Hahah. I even had buskin robbins ice-cream! It's $3.50 for 2 scoops, and it's really nice! Though they displayed the nutritional facts there (i.e. how fat it's gonna be) but i didn't care. I'm not going to care if i'm coming back looking like a pig, but all i know is that i'll have to run so much more when i get back to singapore. Muahahaha. Sadly, i couldn't bring my camera out with me this morning as i needed to charge my battery. So well, photos the nexst time round!

"It has been a long week, of just plain stupid office work.
Talking about the army... No one should die in war. No one should die for his country. This is a stupid concept, and people think it's brave and courageous and patriotic, and what now. Just because they don't value the integrity of life. I mean, what makes the life of the uncle selling fruits opposite my house worth less than that of the president's life? God gave everyone a breath of life and thus a living spirit. It is utterly condescending to compare the worth of such a divine life based on worldly achievements.
But religion aside, I would protect my family, my friends, and if need be, die for them. I would die without regrets. But fight and die for the government just because they have the authority to force me to do it? It makes as much sense as the level of IQ of a turnip. The government has absolutely no right to rob 2 years of my life away (any many more years of re-service) for their own national interest, or what they think is the "best" way to prepare the country for peril.
Come to think of it, army has achieved its opposite effect in many people. It makes some Singaporeans think that the government is nothing but a bunch of self-assuming, bureaucratic pumpkins (pardon the frequent veg references!), and in fact, can't wait to leave the country after serving. I've met too many friends in the army who think like that. You see, NS may have worked (I say "may". Whether it worked out or not, is of much debate in itself) 20-30 years ago. But such an outdated policy has to be reviewed seriously. Hello! This is the 21st century, where brains are becoming bigger than arses (because I believe the opposite is true for the implementation of the policy decades ago), and people feel a greater need for freedom and self-expression.
One last thing, "The world is about to be destroyed! There's no point getting all annoyed!"
Taking this into consideration, the dolphins are undoubtedly smarter than us. =)
I couldn't JUST say army sucks. Saying that is just like saying Noah had a water problem.
Anyway, if you disagree, please kindly use the "X" button at the top right-hand corner of the IE window, and top left-hand corner of the Safari window.
Which reminds me of another point. ST should stop warning bloggers to exercise restrain when blogging, cuz a blog is a public medium. They CONVENIENTLY missed out the fact that although most blogs are public, they are also PERSONAL. If a blog manages to attract a million readers, either the content makes a lot of sense, or it's just funny. Why should we only listen to the PM? I choose what I read and what I write."

Thanks for the shoebag as well... really surprised cuz i merely wanted to borrow derek's shoebag only. Well... thanks once again peepz. ;)

I just hate the feeling of getting sick prior to any major events, be in local or overseas. Especially overseas. Yupz. Bro gave me a scare yesterday when mom thought he had chicken pox when he ran a slight fever and had spots over his back. Well, if it's for real, it's really the wrong time. I don't wanna catch it, and be quarantined in canada. Nooooo. Nonetheless, his fever seemed to have subsided today. Well.
Sometimes what eddy writes on his blog really tickles me. Well. I mean, lemme quote a thing or two:
"Coming Wednesday going down Zouk with my secondary friendz. If any of you coming, give me a ring k or just drop me a msg @ 97592533. Need someone to pay for my cover charge desperately after buying the digital camera and stupid allowance for the overseas trip is $300 lesser then what I calculated. Or wanna introduce me any sugar mummy also gladly welcome."
Pure crap. You're not that cheap rite? lolx. Heng i gave some space for the allowance if not i sure overshoot also.
"My flight to Canada will be 6am coming friday if not wrong. Don't bother asking hey wanna send me off anot cause I know you guys must be still dreaming in your wonderful and talk cock only. Cut the crap by just give me the list of items you wanna buy and of course not forgetting the $$."
Well... don't be so skeptical also la!
ok la. I wished i could type more... but ssg ow just messaged me and told me he's reaching. So... that's all folks!
