Well had a wonderful sunday, took a dip into the pool under the bright sun in the late morning. Went to watch Passion of Christ organised by a church. What do I think of the movie? well...emotional, I understand that Jesus had underwent alot of pain and suffering for us but....well I was thinking ..does the movie need to be so errmm ...show so much gore and blood...ummph aniwei, did nothing much but managed to borrow a book from the library. Theory of evolution..heehee.sounds boring but it does spur my interest.

It was a bizzare day. After lesson I was supposed to meet sophia, but took the train in the wrong direction. Missed her friends then. Lesson was fun and good but today it's not a full class. I had received all my mail orders on monday. Friday was a parcel from Aust. Mon was one from Canada. Everything seems fine. I am quite amazed that my US$15 reach Canada in one piece despite I mail it as registered post. I am still skeptical that it will reach there. I do not feel the urge to go out this week, maybe I need some rest so tomorrow I will go home after work. I realised that I had sort of grown out of the problem, maybe this is due to the fact that there is nothing I can do about it. Today there is this massive accident along Nicoll Highway, sadly there were deaths but at a minimum level, it was not as big scale as what I thought when I listened to the news. They did say it collapsed so I pictured the bridge above Kallang River had given way but was also uncertain. Aniwei heard from established source that Circle Line is not a smooth project with delays and stuff (well..LTA say there is no schedule but...do we need to wait for 50 years?) guess it's another setback for local firms..

There is this nice pizza at wisma..really nice..seen Hannah..well umph din expected that .went to Wanko to say hi to Grace, one of the friendly staff working there. :o) it's a beautiful day. but the best things, chocolate dessert at baker's inn..rich chocolate....amazingly thick...umphh wahhh... i admit i am a choclohic...heehee...

Anyway, went to jap class as usual but this time there are only 6 students. I presumed that the others are having exams that why. It was quite fun, eating sweets and stuff. heeeheee. Sense's birthday around Nov. did alot of conversation this time around and I think I did pretty well at spelling, only one character is misspelt. Saw a indian chap just lay there motionless on the carriage, just flat on the floor....with his bag of stuff at the other side, inside there is a bottle spilling out watery fluid. With the smell, I can only think it's alcohol.No one did anything to him, so guess where are the train marshals that claim to be instilled after the Madrid Bombing..umphhhh..aniwei seems that the public is still ill-prepared for any terror attack on MRT...ohh gosh...if this human-sized chap can just lay there happily and no one cares...umphh guess will anyone pay any notice on an innocent shopping bag abandoned on the train????

Well...what a night.. One of the F-15 make a vertical plunge to the floor....The forward fuselage is separated from the main, vertical stabliser is flung out....lucky the rest of the airframe is still intact. One of my beagle (F-15E) have it's ECM pod ripped off.
Damage assessment :
Beagle : Restick the ECM pod, sand it smooth and spray back the color.
F-15C : Will stick it back...see if there is any chipped paints, filled in the gaps and light overspray.

Thinking of the F-15C: It has a rather long history with me. It started it's life as a Hasegawa SP22 F-15E Dual Role Fighter, built with minimal skills and awful seams. Down the line, the forward side fuselage was deformed after some experiment.Stripped out the paint, plug in the front fuselage of the Fujimi's F-15A and a IAF F-15A with CFT. After looking at it ... it's a sore eye, so stripped the paint and rebuilt as a USAF F-15C, last mod.I was happy. But windscreen is in a awkard position, so reposition it. And now after this plunge, should I write it off?After all I got 4 more F-15s unbuilt.Better take the protrait of the 8 F-15s I have now before they also suffer the same fate. Shall reposition them.

Life of Hasegawa SP22 F-15E Dual Role Fighter:
F-15E Seymour Johnson AFB AF 87-182
Incidents : Front fuselage stricken off during a "night raid" , deformed during some freak accident.
F-15A Israeli Air Force S/N 678
Incidents : None
F-15C Eglin AFB AF 79-065
Incidents : Front fuselage stricken off twice during fall, windscreen repositioned.
What next?? Ideas : F-15D .....

Every plane has a story.......

Okie..holiday mood is here...woohaa...still uncertain if I should join jasmine for church service tomorrow.Went to pick dad up at the airport.Yuppie...he bought back alot of magainzes....my only link to HK...aniwei I took some photo of the airport. Now since dad mention of holdiays, I guess I should plan my backpacking trip to Australia, I think I will seek refuge at Keith's place and start off from there.Who will go with me? Good question ...sigh ...it's hard cos not everyone is free or willing at that time before uni starts. I guess for better or worse I will go alone ... Lonely wanderer....come on ..rather go for a adventure alone then regret of not going when you are old....

Did not do much today. Went swimming the the mid noon after CSI, it was not a interesting epidose..rather normal. Swam for a long time till my shoulder blade hurts. I guess the reason for my long swim is I keep pondering.......about the possibilities of having a chance based on the sorry situation I in now. I cannot help but keep swimming with hopes that my tirness will give my mind time to breathe.The paddling ended around 2 hours later...should I consider myself an aquatic mammal? I had wrote a e-mail with all my thoughts at this time, does that works? I had yet to send it as I am still embracing some hope that there still be contact. I guess the turning point will happen over these few days, I will despatch that mail and just hope there is some sort of response. Disappointment or what, I do not mind as I had suffer such fate countless times, I had learnt to cry without tears.

<<
Now I never meant to do you wrong
That's what I came here to say
That if I was wrong,
Then I'm sorry
Don't let it stand in our way

Cos my head just aches,
When I think of the things that I shouldn't have done
But life is for living,
We all know,
And I don't want to live it alone

Oh. today had a horrible task of changing a simple 2 paragraph of my log book 5 times!!! I do not know why jie was so picky, I understand that my paragraph do not convey the message correctly or does not deliver the idea accurately. It's my log book, I was thinking it was for my personal use so the normal rules in writing had been relaxed..ohh well.....sigh ... my sup came and visit me. Same as usual, he do not understand what I am doing for my attachment..ohh well..he is a nice chap but ...in someways lacking.
Went to ikea with jasmine as she need to get a new pair of trainers. Addias Superstar pinkish color..kinda of cute on her legs. Had dinner with her and talk about life...relaxing...
tomorrow is friday, it's weekend yesh. I think I will bring the camera to take a photo with Sense Fujii....as it's my last lesson.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Ohh why I am in here in the morning?The feeling of frustration, anger, sadness, failure, despair is starting to show on my face. I do not know but for a moment such attributes just seep out of me. I can no longer contain them as they had outgrown me. For once they are in control of myself. I am no longer a man I am used to be.How I wish things will be just alittle bit easiler..but it isnt. Is it me who is not able to adapt to this environment? I do not know , I maybe never knows. I had a life of pain and sorrow but no one knows as I do not protray them in my life. My life is filled with things that people do not know and do not understand. I only beg for someone to understand me better. To know how I feels...but I guess this will never happens. I always believe deep inside a happy man there is this deep big scar that no one ever knows execpt him. Life is sad but I got to live on.Escape from reality.... I must ....
