Random Things

Posted in Entertainment, General, Soccer / Sports at 2:54 pm by ryushin

All right, haven’t been blogging for quite some time, so here is a mega-mix-it-all-up entry that rojak all the random bits of things going on recently. Actually, its not that mega after all… will be short short post.

Well, because, I’m back to insane levels of Guild Wars again, hahaha… Oh manz… If only I am that hardworking for mugging academics, I wouldn’t know where I would be already. That thing has taken up like 2000 hours in the past 3 years of my life. I’m still so passionate about the game its amazing, hahaha. It better not be a detrimental factor to my career (not that I have any now) Oh yea my dearest guild members, you will find a password-protected link on the sidebar over there -> and it is the initials of our guild name. You can make a long-term loan of any of my non-utilized unique equipment as long as it improves our combat capacity :)

Ok, the second random story is about Mother’s Day. Actually didn’t do much, we went to a particular eating outlet in IMM to sort of like have a dinner, with ermz, a big big family. 11 people me thinks. Don’t want to talk too much about it lah, but the service ain’t very good. Plus… its super ex… I think both of it boils down to it being a special occasion… bleahz

Onto happier things now :) First, my beloved soccer team won their second successive league title. woot woot. It was a memorable night. I watched the match live on tv. There might be a more comprehensive post on this in 10 more days. Now is not the time to talk about celebrations, hurhur. 1 match at a time guys, 1 match at a time… 1 more match to go, 1 more… BELIEVE!

Finally, about my erm, NSMen life. Well… interesting twists today I had. So the story goes, that I was not notified in any means of the need to book for my non-ICT IPPT. By right I had to have an annual IPPT you see… and of course I was not involved in any in the current window, which is about to end. So I was kinda like ermz, what to do? Better play safe right, since under statutory duty to, else prospects of fine/detention will be staring into my face. So I called the service centre. So this guy answered my query to the above. Yes yes he said all that I need to know, but is all that I already knew, and said oh maybe you know your unit sometimes maybe never notify you. Yes yes duh… I asked him to go check my unit, of coz nvr notify lah… And then the best answer he gave me was… yea your pes status suggests that you are required to go for your IPPT. No qualms about that, no problem… So I went to book… I tried you know… I tried booking online. System pops up error message saying I can only book for an IPPT date after my next birthday. So what did I do? I called again, and this time someone else picked it up, someone who probably knew better what to do. “Thank you Sir, according to our database, you are only required to go for your first IPPT window AFTER your next birthday” This despite ORD-ing more than a year ago. Cool happy response I got, not just because I do not have to go for an IPPT, but it was more a relief of a definitive answer about whether I need to go for an IPPT. No matter how strange the scenario is, oh well, I have another year to train :D

tatata!
