Today's room cleaning day! I started cleaning in the morning, by removing every cable behind my computer and re-organise them nicely. They were in a mess! I also managed to shift my scanner over to be on the same table as my monitor and printer! Now, the former place for the scanner is empty! I freed up a 50cm by 30cm space!
That re-arrangement of computer things took me one whole morning. Yes I was taking my own sweet time to do that. After that, I went to dig out those things that I wanted to throw away. The old power supply, the broken light bulbs, the spoilt game controller, some envelops and letters… Found those greeting cards sent from friends. Yes I've kept every single one of them. How many did I reply to? … … I better remember to send them some greeting cards in the near future… 😛
Found all those receipts and documents for my civilian class 3 licence in my drawer. I applied for a PDL on 26 August 2003, and I only went for my first lesson in late October! Wasted 2 months! But nevermind, I got the final product anyway… saw those handbooks that were given to me during my military class 3/4 course. I still remember the days when Jianliang, Evans, and I would be driven by Brandon's father from Clementi to Kaki Bukit Camp (KBC). It's so good to have such helpful friends. Saved me lots of trouble and time and money. And come think of it, we never had a chance to thank his dad… maybe, find one day… see first… his dad's a doctor… busy person… I also remembered those driving days, about Mr Ong CK (our theory instructor), Mr Ali (my driving instructor), Mr Ong Ah Bee (that famous parking instructor for his good-natured scoldings with foul words…), Mr Tiger Choo (our Group I/C), and those instructors in the Driver Training Simulator System section(DTSS). They were great teachers and story tellers. So lucky of me to be taught by them…
Cleared up my table too. I've put all things back to their original positions. Did some repair work to my 'stand' for my PSR-275. Hung back that S.H.E Poster back up on the wall. Placed the VCDs and CDs together on the shelf. Now my room looked more like… my room? -lol-
Tried out that IR USB cable once again. No, still cannot. I guess I will have to abandon that cable and get ready for bluetooth connection instead. I want a bluetooth-enabled phone!
Booking in later. I wondered what will the people's reaction be if my phone rang when a SMS is received? I have changed the tune to something that I have created: MRT SMS! The announcement tune… hahaa. I have changed the back cover for my phone too. Decided not to bring that pen along. Now my phone looks much thinner.
Tomorrow's start of orientation. Wondered how's their public road driving…
We ORD personnel have given ourselves a new name: 'lan jiao'.. no, not the hokkien version.. definitely not! 'Lan' as in 懒惰.. lazy… 'Jiao' is in Hokkien, 鸟, meaning is bird… the whole phrase means 'lazy birds'… 懒鸟…
We no longer belong to the new birds and old birds category… finally!
