Overdue update

Yeah, finally back here. A couple of persons kept bugging me about this overdue blog. I wasn't online on Sunday as I was the duty clerk and was in camp the whole day. I was too tired to update anything yesterday night. Man, if I had Internet connection in my office, it makes life a whole lot easier. I still remember the times when I just trotted my way to SAFTI library and use the broadband connection...

I feel a lot better now. The extra few hours of sleep sure worked its magic. My ulcers are not improving though. The one on the tongue still hurts and another one is emerging on my lip. I contemplated using salt but I was too lazy to do it. To use salt would render me helpless, salivating and tearing for some 10 min. I have better things to do. Maybe try salt tomorrow.

Spent the entire Sunday watching VCDs. I was too tired to study. All my body and mind allowed me to do was to slump on the couch and laugh at the occasional punchline. It sucks to do duty. When can I ever stop doing duty? Not as long as I'm in SAF, that is.

So like, I bought a Panasonic DMC-F1EN digital camera. Co-owned it with Qing Qing. Not so bad la, considering that we each forked out 300 bucks and it came with some free stuff. It looks kind of cool too. Packaging is really important. I bet it will be a stunner when we whip it out for use. Haha~

I was in the lift when I noticed the urine detector sign. It was always there and whenever I looked at it, a thought would cross my mind. This thought would be quickly banished by other thoughts and I would not venture to explore it further. I did otherwise today. I wondered if the detector was a hoax or not? How does it work? I saw patches of vomit on the floor but it did not trigger off any alarm. Apparently, the alarm doesn't rely on moisture. If not, the lift would have jammed everytime someone vomit or when there is a rainy day when everyone walks in with wet footwear.

Maybe the detector is equipped with urea acid detecting device! Urea acid is prevalent in urine itself and it could be the trigger. If so, can the alarm be triggered if I peed in a pail and splash the pail into the lift? Maybe it is just a simple surveillance camera. Then there are bound to be chances when the sentry is not looking and loopholes appear for people to pee.

I think it's just a signboard to scare people. Just like those signboards that shows an intruder being shot on the fences of military installations. For goodness sake! The sentries aren't even armed with live rounds! For those who are indeed armed, they have to follow a strict set of ROE (Rules Of Engagement) and are not allowed to shot upon sight. Unless you perform some threatening acts (which I am not going to divludge) that is.
