To those RSAF men, it's no big deal. To a public, especially a lady who had never serve the NS before, it's AMAZING!
Well, I had seen it in movie before how it was done, but seeing it right infront of my very own eyes is definitely a different feeling.
Turning the car into the usual drop off point behind my office building, I heard many fighter planes zooming pass above my head. Just before my car came to a complete stop, I tilt up my head slighty, with eyes scanning through the front windscreen, I saw 2 small fighter planes with a bigger airplane.
Initially, I thought the 2 smaller planes were acting as a protector for the bigger plane. But after Hui clarify, Alas! I was wrong! The 2 smaller planes were pumping petrol from the bigger airplane IN THE SKY! Yes, the key words...IN THE SKY! If it was done on the land, people might think I'm crazy for getting so excited over such a normal scene. But what made me fascinated was the way the planes refilled their petrol in the sky, with a 'stick" connecting the planes together with them traveling at a certain speed together so that the fuel doesnt spills to the land and they doesn't get 'disconnected'!
And ofcourse, this reminds me of the movie Stealth. If you had watch this movie before, there's a part where it shows the AI fighter plane trying to refill its petrol in the sky while escaping away from the other pilot-driven fighter planes. It's a nice and touching show! Hmmm...suddenly got a feeling to watch this movie again. Anyone have the VCD/DVD??
Well, we don't always have a chance seeing planes pumping petrol in the sky right?
Anyway, the key point is...It's AMAZING!

A Fun Saturday
12th Aug, Hui and I went to our poly friend, TGE's house for a small gathering with other polymates. Her executive unit flat is situated at Compassvale Street, Seng Keng. We were the first to arrive and also the first to leave. We had another birthday party to attend at Changi and hence not able to stay long. The unit is big, compared to my cousin's. Well, one is executive, the other is 4-room flat. It's obvious, isn't it?
She hack down a wall to join the Master bedroom with the other room and this makes her MBR really big! She also hack down the study room and this makes the living room bigger. That space was used for a dining cum pool table! If you want to have a game of pool, simply just remove the top wooden plank and you get a pool table! Interesting huh? The table came with the removeable plank to be set as table top for dining, as well as a set of balls, cues and chalker.
We had a few games of pool and playing with playstation before Seh Choi and his gf arrived. Hui and I grab some delicious chicken drumlets made by Ben, TGE's husband, before we left her house.
We proceeded to Ang Mo Kio for collection of birthday cake and head down towards Aloha Changi Chalet. It was my cousin 3 year old birthday party and the big sisters cousins and their partners all shared to buy him a 3KG birthday cake and car toy. As per instruction by his daddy, his son wanted a car design birthday cake. Hence, I specially custom-made a cake for my little cousin. Everyone was so fascinated by the birthday cake (and the car plate number!) that they keep taking pictures of the cake and ignore the little birthday boy. Review by my aunties and uncles, the cake was simply yummy and design was excellent! I'm glad everyone like the cake I bought..:)
The cake looks so pretty! Isn't it?
"Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to Clement..."

Busy July
It's been a long time since I blog. Just too lazy to blog although for the past one month, I do have many things to talk about..
But today, some of the things that I wanted to write down had been erased off from my brain. I can't remember what was the incident anymore.
Anyway, just a quick update for July.
2nd of July, Hui's parents came to my house to 'Ti Qing'. This visit was just some kind of formality before the wedding. All along I thought this was quite a redundant event but to satisfy the old folks, we just had to do it.
3rd - 19th July, was busy with work and preparing for user acceptance test and user training for one of my project. During one of the user training on 19th July, I met the most ignorant and arrogant bunch of bastard users! Not only did they criticise how lousy SAP system was, they also mention they could do a system better than SAP! These people are a bunch of IT developers who do various software applications for internal company & external vendors. They became my users because they would be using the SAP system as well for this project. They knew nuts about SAP and how powerful this system was, and dare to criticise this system? They also asked why we did not choose Lotus Notes as the platform for this project instead. (They specialise in developing lotus notes application). Well, this was decided by the top management and if they think they are so smart, go talk to the GM! Lucky these bastards were situated at the 4th floor and I'm on the 5th floor! If not, I'll be cursing and swearing everytime I see them in office!
20th July, I had selected my pre-wedding photoshoot photos. I should be getting my softcopies sometime in the middle of August. Because I forgot about this date, it clashes with my secondary school classmates gathering. I wanted so much to join this gathering. It was a farewall for Peiyi, who will be leaving Singapore and flying to US for 2 years, and also a welcome dinner for Jenny, who had returned to Singapore for a short holiday from Australia. Sad to say, now both had left for US and Australia respectively and I could only meet up with them till their next visit back to Singapore.
23rd July, went to my cousin, Karen's house for house warming. A rather small unit but was quite nicely renovated and cosy. I do envy her alot and longing to have my own lovenest too. But wedding and housing at the same time?? I can only choose one.
I have also collected my wedding invitation cards from the hotel in July and had sent for printing. Cards are ready for collection but Hui and me are still finding a right time to go down to collect the cards. It's a real busy July for both of us in terms of wedding preparation, as well as work!
Up on the wedding preparation list for August:
1) Confirming on the guest list
2) Shopping for mom outfit
3) Food tasting
4) Our wedding website.
