Slumber my timber you bummer August 27, 2008

Hmmmm…

 

I just awoken from my slumber and to those who knows me,

I am a damn wild dreamer hehee..

How wild?

I can have 5-6 dreams in a night all linking to each other and I will remember all of them in the morning right after I wake.

The most ridiculous dream

The most boring dream

The most exciting dream

The most  sexual dream

The most serious dream

The most heart warming

you name it I’ve done it.

Its almost like my brain has a VCD rental store in it. Every night the aunty in my brain would randomly takes one VCD and play it during my sleep.

 

Anyway…

Most of these dreams I have are lucid dreams, meaning I am mostly aware of what I am dreaming and to a certain extent emotions and feelings are largely within my control.

 

 

They say dreams are true reflection what you are facing in reality, consciously  or subconsciously:

Things that we choose to ignore

Things that we choose to face

Things that you are doing

Things that have been done

Things that can be done

 

Maybe I’ll share one example.

I remember during my secondary school days there was this boy from my class. He wasn’t big but he was the one with the most guts. I hated the fact that everyone followed his “order” No one dared opposed him.

 

I remember having bad dreams of how he would order all my friends to do things against their will.(It wasn’t any thing sexual or abusive) but I just hated that dominant figure among my friends.

Those dreams would occur on a regular basis and in those dreams I just stood there watching my friends get pushed around.

These dream kept repeating for nearly a week but towards the end I somehow had enough courage to speak up and even picked a fight with him.

Back in reality, as usual I got to know that he was trying to take advantage of someone I knew. I did’t really have to think much, to cut the story short, I quarreled with that bully and we hated each other to the core from then.

Anyway few years after that incident we’re friends again

 

My point being..

Before we take to the stage to dance, we reherse

Before we fight a war, we walk through the fight plan

Dreams can be good rehersals for life too

 

 

 

The purpose of this post is actually to tell the twins, lin and thin.

 

I cannot stop dreaming la… Its a in born thing like a fart or a burp.

Once it comes there’s no way to hold them back

actually I think right…we should start dreaming more.

 

 

Why?

 

I believe all of you have that one ultimate kick ass dream lodged right back in your mind.

Not the 5C type of boring dream but the kind of dream which you know you’ll never get to see in your lifetime.

Like being a worldclass rockstar, fighting crime with the Xmen or even being a sexy tranny ruling the world

 

well I suppose you get the idea, I could go on you know

 

 

Lets say I secretly want to live my life as a hot surfer dude

JUST IMAGINE LA!@#@ knn..

Living in the coast of Hawaii beach.

waking up every morning to warm nice smelling waffles and coconut milk(not that kind ah..)

spend my day overlooking my resort and in the eveing head over to wakuku beach to surf  till dawn.

At night I come back to my beautiful Hawaiian wife wearing my favourite coconut bikini and dancing the hawaiian dance to welcome me back…

After that at night….. *my favourite part*

 

 

 

 

She reads me a fairy tale and tucks me into bed.

 

 

 

 

Lets do the math anyway.

**Did you know that the correct way to pronounce math is meff instead of mats?

well,

Human sleep about 8 hours on average

Let say I live till a ripe old age of 70
1 day= 24 hour
1 week = 168 hour
1 month =730.8 hour (assuming avg of 4.35 week/month)
1 year = 8769.6 hour
70 years= 613872 hour

 

Go through the meff again.

 

 

 

Are you sure it is correct?

 

 

 

 

 

okay la.

 

 

I actually realize  the above calculation was redundant by the time I finished it.

All I needed was the average percentage of sleep per day.

Multiply it by my life span and that would suffice.

 

However since I am stupid enough to do it. You had to read it too

 

back to the meff (hahahaha meff siol)

8 hour sleep per day equals 33.33% of the day spent sleeping.

33.33% of my lifespan of 70 years would be  23.3 years

23.3 years for you to live the life of your greatest desire.

 

Who can pass that off?

 

would you rather waste the 23.3 year staring at nothing but THIS!

Unless you’re like dai dai who insist that he is the God of his own paradise.

Or youre like clara who doesnt sleep.

**I always suspect she sleeps with her eyes open in the day anyway.

 

 

 

 
SO STOP ASKING ME TO STOP DREAMING!!!

 

I AM LIVING MY DREAM!!!

 

 

okay i need a fucking life. lol?

Maverick experience(Final pt3) August 25, 2008

 

Apologies for the late entry of the last part of my trip.

6.00am(Breakfast at Ishwara)

 

my sibei sian morning face

 

Off to the HANGAR!!!!

My group was assigned to a Cessna 172, call sign 9M-ADA

In the aviation world every call sign over the Air Traffic Control in said in a standard manner .

9M-ADA becomes Niner Mike- Alfa Delta Alfa

Geek would be Golf Echo Echo Kilo

Sex would be Sierra Echo Xray

Boobies would be Bravo Oscar Oscar Bravo India Echo Sierra

LOL would be Lima Oscar Lima

ROFL would be Roger Oscar Foxtrot Lima

Just in case if you decided to hijack a plane and the negotiator is negotiating:

“Land the plane and I guarantee you’ll be exempted from Tax, ERP and Road tax!!”

Just reply:

“Roger Oscar Foxtrot Lima, Kilo November November Bravo Charlie Charlie bravo!! “

 

 

Crap aside…

Did some ground marshaling to direct the planes in and out of the runway

Cessna 172

 

I sweep your void decks every morning

Rudy the ex para para master

 Then on to flight planning

 

Flight planning and Marshalling was finally done and over with.

 

We went on to the planes.. wooooo!

 

 

We had to go through the Pek Cheklist to check safety measures like oil levels, conditions of ailerons and also the diameters of my head incase I attempted a Head dive.

heh.. okay not very funny…

Checklist AKA pek chek list

 Anyway I jumped into the plane and the instructor told me that I could take control during the take off.I check all the parameters, Requested for permission to taxi into runway. Once permission was granted I push throttle all the way while adjusting the fuel mixture.

Taxied into the runway  with the help of the instructor and soon the wheels were off the ground.

We were flying a planned route and I was practising my air manuveours.

Somewhere near 1500 feet I saw my coursemate flying the piper warrior.

 

He was off the indicated airspace and I Air traffic control soon inform me that he had gone bonkers because of the pressure difference in the altitude.

My instruction was to take him down asap.

I requested for permission to engaged enemy.

Instructor : ”Roger,you have control”

I started pitching and climbing to altitude of 2000 feet while keeping a close eye at the piper warrior.

Suddenly my engine started stalling, I knew I that was It. My engine had overheated.

I turned over, looked my instructor in the eye and knocked him out.

I prayed, “god let his soul rest among the cloud”   

 

I scanned the horizon for the enemy. At 3′o clock to my right I saw his green shimmering wing.

 

I said a final prayer and dived towards him .

My aileron started shaking and I could feel the aircraft going pass its limits

Anytime now the aircraft might break apart.

The warning visual light and aural came on.

I reached for the panel to  unbuckle my seat belts.

My experience tells me that I’ll hit him right in the tail in about 10 seconds.

 

My life flashed pass…

my 3 months old daughter sleeping in her cradle

my wife waiting for me at home

my parents looking after my retarted brother

my friends awaiting my return

3 seconds left….

I closed my eye and bit my tongue  preparing for the last moment of my life…

 

 

 

PIAK!!!

 

CHAO CHEEBYE

I found myself on the floor beside the chair i was sleeping…

 

BEN WAKE UP!!! OUR TURN TO FLY!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stumbled to the toilet to wash my face before proceeding to the hangar.

 The plan was to fly the circuit and then do a mid air switch with my partner while flying.

I had to unbuckle my seatbelts, squeeze inbetween the seats.Move to the back while my partner at the back squeeze to the front.

 

Not quite a fun experience when we had to experience a slight air turbulence during this switch.

 Balls disintergrated… 

yeah my turn my turn!!

Check blindspot HAH!

Crash and die world!!

Balls splited into four during this banking

Crop circle leh?

Touch down!! Lim bei still alive!!

 

 After my turn at “flying” we had to wait for the rest who have not flew.

Got permission from the instructors and we went over to the hangars and did some sabotaging of aircrafts.

Men in Blue

 

 I loved this aircraft la.

Look at the paintwork and the tinted windshield.

I could imagine  me flying this babe over the Hawaiian Island with my leather jacket and aviators shades.

See the airstrip… Land the piper warrior and char bor in coconut bikini putting flowers wreath over my head while I smoke a cigar and sign autograph.

Piper warrior

 

 

The final night where all good men go to…

THE BAR!!!

 

 

 

 

I know this post sibei draggy and long.

But i get to fly you didnt!!

neh ni neh ni poo pooooo ……

Maverick experience(Pt2) August 21, 2008

 

I finally received all the pictures. yea to technology but boo to procrastination.

4pm(Check in)

Reached the “5 star hotel”

Got to know who were our room-mate and it was off to place our barang barangs!

Face shag from all the bubble gum blowing

 

Not bad eh. (FOC of course not bad la)

Room 160

Siva was my lucky room-mate,

Anyway we were unpacking our stuff when there was one knock on the door.

Josh and Terry came in,

Then another knock

Isman and Samson came in,

Pretty soon my room became a rendezvous point.

Punjabis room raiders

 

7pm(dinner)

 

Chinese cuisine at Xin-Shan Long

Food was alrite, sort of like the zhe char stall at the local eateries.

Pardon me for the lack of aesthetic in these photos

See the lady sitting beside me? 

Thats the advisor of the club which I “stepped down” from prematurely.

Sorta awkward but at least we had something to chat about.

The juniors at my table.

 After dinner, we headed down to “The bar” for some drinks.

The next day list of event was  flight planning, ground marshallings and flying.

With that being said, alcoholic drink was a no no.

I ordered a Shirley Temple anyway

Maverick experience(Pt1) August 17, 2008

8am(Ground school in RP)

 

I was late and had to cab down.

Ground school basically covered:

-History of aviation

-Flight instruments

-Air traffic control

-Basic flight maneuvers

-Flight line operation

 

 

 

The men who were in charge of our ground school were all experienced pilots in their own field:

-RSAF Fighter pilot

-SIA Boeing 777/747 pilot

-RSAF Search and rescue Helicopter pilot

Note to self: Real pilots dun really look like Tom Cruise in the movie Top Gun.

Topics was dead boring and I kept dozing off.

Got caught twice by captain Balbir.

Needless to say for the rest of the lesson I was constantly under special surveillance.

1:20pm(40mins before setting off) 

Finished our crash course on aviation.

We had some time before the bus came so we decided to help josh make some friends.

We went old school this time. See that girl in red behind Terry?

Well me and Siva tore a piece of paper from my aviation safety booklet.

Wrote Josh name and number on it.

**Josh was elsewhere washing his hand

 

Walked over to the group of girls who were having their lunch .

Me: “hey, my buddy over there wants to make friends with you”

**Pointing to Josh who was walking over to us not knowing the shit we got him into

I passed her the piece of paper and  got our asses well hidden further up.

The group of girl started checking josh out when he was walking pass them(still clueless).

When he finally knew what was going on

He just stood there, frozen with his eye wide open and murmuring something along the line

 

“@#$@KNN#$@%NNB@SABO%@%”"

hahahahahhahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Hilarious!!

 

 

2:10pm(Bus arrival)

Dejected Josh on the right! hahaa

Group Pic before boarding

This pretty much summarizes the first part of the day.

 More to come : )

Cheers!

Baby I feel like flying again! August 15, 2008

I’m still waiting for the full sets of photos from the rest of the guys before I decide what photo to include in the following entries. Po fes sher ner hor…

Meanwhile hope you enjoy this little poem.

It’s about how I feel after this short but incredible experience.

Born to fly

Men have arms not wings,

Meant to walk not fly,

The craft which I set my eye upon,

Knows no boundary set by nature

With the control stick in my hands

Roll glide and drift, I have my freedom

Who else has seen the peaks?

The real reason why bird sing?

The secret of the rainbow?

I envy no man on earth,

Because for that moment,

I soared.

viva la gila August 12, 2008

coupe de main August 11, 2008

I need to rant.

I wrote an emo entry yesterday.

The next thing I knew, my blog stats shot up and my comment box finally manage to have some customer.

@#$@#$@#$@#%@#$%#$%!!

I’m starting to think that the world enjoys seeing geeks pour their heart out.

Screw you readers!!

A glimpse into my heart

Time will tell if we’re fated.

Every part of my life lays perfectly.

Every one of them, except that last part.

The one which always stands out in the wrong way.

I’ve never felt this sure in my life, let alone stare regret right in the face.

A chance I will take, A risk I will venture

The heart will take rein over my brain.

Maybe because its you who completes my life.

The final piece of this jigsaw puzzle.

ps: Dun worry la Ben is still sane in every aspect of his life.

Just that Ben’s heart recently staged a coupe de main against his brain so currently his heart is the one running his thoughts.

bear with limbei for awhile.

11.23 is the time now!! August 10, 2008

Sorry for the lack of post.

I’ve been busy working at homefix earning some extra money.

The people there are rather friendly I would say.

It is rather satisfying job for me, I have to learn about every single items in the store.

If you have been to homefix it really does mean every single thing.

stress stress stress

Electronics

Bulbs

Gardening

Carpentry

Car products

Chemical products

Security products

Toiletry

office products

outdoor equipments

Paints

Power tools and hand tools

The list just goes on….

“Homefix carries the most random products” -Matt the cheena breaker

Most of the customer are really sincere when they approach you for help.

Then there are also the…

Retired veteran ex-electrician:

Comes in every now and then. Pretends to ask you about a certain product and before I explain the functions, he starts screwing me upside down on how the store should’t carry this product because of the flaws etc etc…

I swear I will empty that pack of fertilizer beside me in your mouth if I wasnt in my uniform.

We were suppose to drink after work at the store to celebrate NDP but it was canceled because kuku neh neh nordin who could’t find the cheaper chivas.

Anyway. I also did enjoy a tad bit during the week

Aduh was having a rough week so I accompanied her to east coast in the morning.

Rented a Tandem bike(twin bike) and cycled all the way to a cleaner part of the beach to sun tan alittle.

Spent a little time shifting around and enjoying the quiet beach and it was off to rent rollerblades.

I was her shifu because she could’t skate at all,hahahahahaah

Helped her with her skates, took her hand and guided her around to let her get use to having wheels under her feet.

We met this very nice lady by the name of Jovin who resided in the UK but was here on work. She offered to help Aduh after seeing her fumbling around.

After countless of buttfall Aduh finally has a new hobby. yipeee!!

The rest of the day was spent eating, shopping, talking cock and hiding under makeshift shelter from the rain.

Haven had that feeling for a long time, its back. Shiat..

Sometimes I feel like a life buoy.

Hung dry, appreciated only when you’re drowning

The odds are stacked against me its clear, I will still try.

“I will never turn back” she said,

Is it one of those things you always do and say to me but never meant it.

Live life once, A girl like you is impossible to find again.

Whatever it is, I’m still waiting by the side stand.

Waiting for the right time to get on the mainstage.

You complete my life. I’ll be where you last left me.

Dun let me wilt…

Ice ice baby… August 3, 2008

Just came back from a jog and still have some time to spare before I start work. Thus I’m jotting this here

Remember where I had my first roller blading outing some time ago?

http://ben-in-a-can.livejournal.com/1939.html

Well Shane planned another trip down at east coast over the weekend. We couldn’t find other kakis so he rang Chanel up who suggested we go ice skating instead.

Since I’ve never ice skate before so why not!

We went in as a group of four which would entitle us to a group discount. So it was me, Shane, Chanel and another of her friend(forgotten her name)

Resurfacing being done

The girls brought a DSLR camera but were shy to take pictures so expect the following pictures to only include gay me and homo Shane

Couple shot before hitting the ice rink

I got the skates, put it on and honestly I was a weee bit afraid of falling and going out of control.

I stepped into the ice rink, started stumbling around looking for a comfortable way to skate.

Damn Shane was already doing laps by the time I got it right.

watch me!!

Do the cha cha...

Of course real men dun do ice ballets. We incorporated a new sport.

ICE WRESTLING

Dun fwen you liao... make me fall ..

Take that buddy!!

okay Maybe He didnt felt that badly.

But at least I didnt attempt stuff like this.

Weeee

Sometimes in life you got to defy gravity a little.

To fall or not to fall, That is the question.

Alrite times up. I gotta run now. ADIOS!!
