End of day report


Got a call from my Encik today that due to weather its a no work day again. So its free and easy for me today and a good time to watch some of the movies and downloaded in the past but just got no time to watch it.



"GOOD MORNING VIETNAM" starring Robin Williams. The entire film could be summarized, "Censorship of radio broadcast means you just hear all the good news and doing things out of the normal program can be really refreshing and entertaining ". Sometimes there are tragedy happening just around us but we are so oblivious to it for the powerful media play down the incident and hid it under the carpet. In the movie, the general population and US soldiers in the movie were listening to radio station with censorship all around blocking news of the communist intrusion into South Vietnam city, false sense of peace in this case. In one of the scene Robin Williams character, Adrain ( a radio jockey) , witness and was nearly killed when a bomb exploded inside a bar. He got back to the radio station and was stopped by his officer from reporting the news through his radio station. Hilariously, he went on and spoke through the radio,

"In Saigon today, according to official sources nothing actually happen. One thing that officially did not happen is a bomb that exploded and unofficially destroyed "Jimmy Ai" Cafe". 3 man were unofficially wounded, 2 man identity was still unknown this time. The fire department responded which was believe to be unofficial at the moment.... (radio was cut off)".

That was some really good way of putting the words to the public.

Did some photography after the movie...

Hmm... maybe I should add a banana into the equation...

And for lunch, I add a whole pint of Ben and Jerry Ice Cream, "Phish Food" flavour. This thing cost like S$8 dollars in Singapore but just S$3 in US. Love those chocolate fishes in it. Call me crazy or something. I got craving for ice cream even during winter...



Fishing time!!! Mmm...Chocolate and Vanilla

Seems to be something hard in the ice cream

Ahhh!!!! A Fish! First catch of the day.


Spend the rest of the night after dinner assembling my RC Helicopter which I have stripped to its bare minimum few days ago while concurrently MSNing my friends in Singapore. Have just replaced the broken landing gear. Those screws are so small compare to what I encounter daily on a real helicopter that its sometime so darn frustrating to put them right back to the holes they belong to.



Gonna watch another movie before I sleep. Plan for tomorrow is to get back to my books and study for my FAA certification. Good Night Singapore...Good Night Dallas....
