screwed up..really screwed up

sometimes life can be cruelly funny don't you think? let me share my story.
-
one fine day, less than 2 weeks ago, i used to lead a pretty good ns life. and that day, my clerk friend told me to do him a favour: pass along some document to a branch in ocs called CLD. yeah sure, i said.
off i went to cld office. was supposed to hand the papers over to a person by the name of lilian. i found her office, went in, and saw her along with another big man standing there chatting away. innocent enough, i thought. as i passed the paper to her, i noticed they were looking at me funny. then he said, so this is the guy we've been witing for all this while. i was blur ah. what the hell were they talking about man?
t seems that i was supposed to have been here about half a year ago. but i never knew that. why? coz apparently (thanks to) some screw up over the phone line, a request for manpower by colonel SUKH(mohinder singh) was mistaken for a colonel SOH instead.
so ive managed to enjoy my last 5 months or so at the expense of this branch. haha! im happy for that. but what happened now was that after he saw me, this guy recalled the whole issue and wanted to pull me in once more. and BLOOODY HELL! just the week b4 i worked my ass off just to get myself posted as a wing clerk. and thanks to one little favour that i agreed to do, im suddenly sucked into a branch that has such a freaky job scope i cant imagine how ill survive one year in there.
i want out. I NEED OUT.
-
i dunno if theres a take-away lesson to this story, but if anything, all i can say is that, when ppl say life has a way of throwing curve balls at you, they really mean it.

jalan raya (hampir basi) 06

a short follow up to my previous post. went down the stairs on my blades a couple of days ago. it was a mere 4 steps mind you. but nonetheless i clipped the egde of one and went down hard. lucky i didnt kiss the asphalt. but my right wrist took a beating. still hurts. no pain no gain huh?

anw. jalan raya was a very intimate affair. aiya..intimate in what way? small group only lar. so intimate lah. 5 of us. the rest either working or on some other foreign land. but it was pretty cool. we spent much time travelling by cab. the day was pretty clear but we had our resident haze generator to remind us that anytime, anywhere the haze might return. a very important lesson indeed. 6 houses in all. a very modest affair compared to our previous exploits. thats it for now.

FSK freestyler

alright man! freestyle goes mainstream. just caught the 930 news on 5. its great to see a sport you love so much that people here don't know much about get coverage on the news. i mean, its NEWS man. its like, 'hey people, if you don't know this, you're IGNORANT'
and if you're still wondering what i'm rambling about, i'm talking bout freestyle skating. yeah. now that's news for you.
