She is found! But...

The girl missing for almost 20 days was finally found today.... a cardboard, naked, badly decomposed at Telok Blangah Hill Park. The search was called off today with sadness and frustration. She could not have been found if the main suspect, Ah How did not surrender himself to the Malaysia Police when he escape to Penang.



However, this case have not come to a close yet. According to the press, Ah How will be charge with Murder althought for the past few days he have insist that he was innocent and someone else was behind Huang Na disappearance. In my opinion, if he was really the murderer, a sicko one, he could have escape all the way to Thailand instead of surrendering himself to the police. That could mean he was not the murderer. Yet again, he ran away from Singapore after two round of interrogation by the police. His passport was infact detained but he somehow got out of the country illegally (He swim?). That could mean he is the murderer. Anyway, he will be Charge on evidence no disclose to the public, yet. All I could hear from the news was that the police got enough evidence to charge him. I was wondering, could he have been forced to become a scape goat just to bring this case to a conclusion? The police force might be grossly incompetent when coming to MISSING PEOPLE cases thus to increase public confidence, Ah How, a nobody from Penang who is just a vege seller is the ideal candidate to face the hanging galley.

Ah How came back+Huang Na found shortly+all the accusation Huang Na mum made= Ah How is the murderer.

Maybe it have been a very very very clever plot set up by Huang Na's Mum herself. She hired someone to kill her own daughter and make use of the fact that her daughter is often with Ah How and easily make Ah how the scape goat? In order to secure a large sum of Insurance payment she brought for her daughter? Human can get really desperate about money...


Well well...the case is still open. Lets just wait for more news to be out. In the mean time there are more missing Singaporean at http://www.crime-library.org/ for us to look out for. Dead or Alive, no one knows....

12 hours of work

Anyone who think civil servants are a lucky bunch of people, short working hours, relaxing job, earning more than their effort better think twice.

I work a total of 12 hours every day for the past 3 days!!! No OT pay, no off day and worst of all, have to skip lunch. Tsk tsk tsk...working with an empty stomach.

Knock off from work at around 7.30pm just now and I just can't wait to get home quickly to enjoy a hot bath and a nice warm dinner. I admit I was speeding and overtaking vehicle aggressively on my way out from my Air Base and did not notice that I actually overtook a high ranking officer vehicle at a narror two way road (I momentarily driving against the traffic while overtaking). Only knew I could have offended someone important when my colleague called me and mention that one of the vehicle I overtook belongs to a Major.

Well...who give a damn man. I have work the hell out off myself for the 3 days and if that Major wanna f***ing report me to my superior, I will be so totally piss off. Anyway he don't own the air base and the road. If that office gonna get too emotional about the incident, he might as well take off his "CRAB" and fried it....What a Crappy officers we have nowadays....

Is he talking about Singapore?

This is an extract from An Interview With Dr Mahathir

Why Are Some Countries Rich and Others Poor?

INTERVIEWER: Big picture question: Why are some countries rich and some poor? What role do culture and legal institutions have?

DR. MAHATHIR BIN MOHAMAD: Basically, it is culture. A country may be rich in resources, but if the people do not know how to exploit those resources, how to add value to those resources, then they are going to remain poor. And to add value to resources, there must be a government that is conscious of its duty to develop the country and that is knowledgeable about how to develop the country. A prerequisite would be a stable and peaceful condition within the country. No government can have a richer country if the country is continuously facing turmoil. So some countries have governments which are able to ensure peace and stability and to utilize human resources in order to enrich not only what it has in the country, but also to bring in the raw material in order to add value. That's how countries become rich. It's not due to having rich resources.

Thanks to our government ability to utilize human resources that we are what we are today.

The Wedding Singer

Today is the day my 4th Brother, Randall, married his wife Angela. Well actually they become officially husband and wife two days ago at ROM but according to Chinese culture, the marriage can never be complete without an asumptous wedding dinner. For that I was invited, together with all the 9 Dragons Clan brothers and sisters to "Qian Xi Lou" at Tanjong Katong Complex for an 8 course wedding dinner.

Was really really really really honoured to be given a sit so close to the stage and his parents and in-laws. Its probably the first time I got to sit so close to the VIPs at a wedding dinner. The wedding dinner proceeded first with the arrival of the newly weds, Randall & Angela and next proceed with a a ceremony call "Opening Dish Fashion Show" by the restraunt waiters and waitresses. Of course we can never miss the "POP THE CHAMPAGNE" session where Randall seems to have initial trouble Poping the Cork out of the Bottle. Finally the Standard "YAM SE" which challenge to break the voice box of all the capable young man toasting on the stage.

After all this fanfares, the guest were encourage to make use of the onstage Karaoke system. I decided that its such a special day today for Randall and for me (since this is the first wedding of a very close friend), thus I choose to sing two song dedicated to the newly weds. Was a bit eager to be the first one on the stage just to give that surprise and impact but an Uncle was pretty fast to got on stage first and rendered a Hokkien song for the guests. Two hokkien songs later, probably the guest will find the food turning tasteless. IT WAS A HORRIBLE SONG, AND REALLY REALLY OUT OF CONTEXT for this wedding and also very disturbing man!! It turn out that the Uncle sang the song for his own entertainment and joy, almost forgetting that THIS IS A WEDDING dinner and the songs selected should have taken Randall and Angelas into consideration. The song are either about love lost or some kind of "Long tree beside the road". What the f***.

Its my turn to be on stage. Its a night not to be forgotten by our newly weds so I dedicated and sang "How Deep Is Your Love" and "Oh Carol" to this wonderful couples and the guests. Although not sung by the best voice of "Singapore Idol" and I seems to be rooted stiff to the ground, I truely enjoy this experience of a Wedding Singer and I am sure Randall and the guest either have enjoyed my singing or thought I was another William Hung making a fool of myself on stage. Ha ha.

Sadly, I could only sing that two song to help inject some good spirits into the dining experiences. The rest of the night was either Hokkien song sang by those who could be really "Famous" in American Idol or very Obiang Chinese song from god knows how many ages ago. Exception of an Aunty who sing Hokkien song pretty well...

Sleeping on the job

Its ridiculously true, while sitting and cleaning some Aircraft parts today, I actually doze off!!! Well, doze of momentarily. I guess I went into Micro Sleep- Suddenly falling into total sleep for a few seconds without realising it. I excused myself from work, telling my superior that I have an upset stomach and need to visit the washroom. Behind the closed doors of the cubicle, I position myself comfortably and took a short nap without a sense of guilt.

This isn't the first time but the second time I commit such unprofessional action behind closed doors. However, I must defend myself here, without that short 15 min power-sleep...my working efficiency was literally below 50%. I am just wondering why I always felt sleepy in the morning and only reach peak working performance only 1-2 hrs after lunch time? I have at less 6hrs of sleep everyday and excercise regularly and does look healthy in front of the mirror so whats wrong?

Just like to relate a very interesting incident happening yesterday. I was sitting in for the morning brief by a Warrent Officer, the biggest shot in our Flight, I was trying very hard to keep myself awake else I get a stern barking from him. He was sharing an Aircraft accident case study with the flight. Unfortuantely my power switch turn on and off every now and than, before I realise it I was in Hibernation mode. I heard some one barked "Sergent Tan, can you summarize what I have talk about in the past 5 mins?" Woah...that was some kind of wake up call for me. Using whatever I have heard when my power switch was on momentarily together with my primary school skill of "FILL IN THE BLANKS" I was able to piece together a partial summary of the Warrent Officer speech. Probably that have saved my ass from some hard kicking since he seems a bit reserved to telling me off for dozing off.

There you go, 2 very unprofessional act from a Air Force Regular who was never ashame to admit his misadventure.
