Car of the day, A bright yellow Porsche Carerra-S zooming down Orchard Road in traffic jam conditions. Recently I've been seeing yet another Porsche in my neighbourhood, its a 923 or 925 I forgot the number, not very familiar with such expensive sports cars anyway..

My desktop PC is positively getting from bad to worse, now the mouse doesn't work anymore, something's wrong with the BIOS? (Basic Input Output System) It crashes when BT(BitTorrent) is running, takes an incredible long time to run IE(Internet Explorer) even when I have gigs of space for virtual memory to utilise..

Now I'm using my laptop looking at a blue screen on my desktop PC sigh.. there goes all the message history, bookmarks, but well the mp3s and anime are all intact hehe..
Oh damned I think my progress for Need For Speed: Underground is gone, stage 80 out of 111.... damned.. unlocked so many funky cars already :(

Read from Hai~Ren's email that 42 is now doing really silly things like giving out threats or something like that. The thing is that the poor guys are supposedly going to get punished if they can't pass their physical proficiency tests. That's bullshit.. its totally absurd. Apparently you won't be able to ORD if you can't clear the test. Wow great so if you're born obese, simply can't shed weight or you can only do 5 chin ups within your human limits.. you can't ORD?

Is 42 really that pathetic? That the commanders have to resort to using such .. idiotic methods to force people to pass IPPT? IPPT isn't that hard for me anytime but I don't know for others. In any case I'm quite damned sure these new measures/controls/threats/whatever really reflect very badly on the commanders even though bonuses and promotions might not actually be the root of these new "threats".

I remember the days, I volunteered for RT, to try to get the gold award. (Actually its $400 haha) Now I doubt that the soldiers will want to even try for gold. Guess the new CO is not that "smart" after all. Isn't it common sense that everything rests on morale of the soldiers? Duh.. if they don't take back this stupid threat I really hope the whole battalion doesn't even get a single gold. Then all the commanders will wake up their bloody idea haha!

Oh well, ORD loh...
