National Servicemen can look forward to more convenience when they travel overseas with effect from 1 Aug 2006.

The revisions to exit control policies were recommended by the Fourth Committee to Recognise the Contribution of Operationally-Ready NSmen to Total Defence (RECORD IV) to enhance convenience for servicemen when they travel overseas. These recommendations were accepted by the Government during the Committee of Supply Debate on 6 March 2006.

Full-time National Servicemen (NSFs) will henceforth be exempted from applying for exit permits for short overseas trips of less than 3 months. Operationally-Ready National Servicemen (NSmen) will no longer be required to surrender their exit permits upon their return to Singapore. NSmen who have completed their Operationally-Ready National Service (ORNS) training cycle will be exempted from notifying the MINDEF Notification Centre (MNC) of their overseas trips.

Full-time National Servicemen (NSFs) will only be required to apply for an exit permit for overseas trips of 3 months or longer. This will allow NSFs to go overseas over the weekend or after office hours without being subjected to the inconvenience of applying for an exit permit.

Operationally-Ready National Servicemen (NSmen) issued with exit permits will no longer be required to surrender their exit permits upon their return to Singapore. MINDEF will use the Immigration and Checkpoint Authority's Exit-Entry Control Upgraded System (EECUS) to monitor the return of NSmen.

NSmen who have completed their Operationally-Ready National Service Training Cycle and have been phased into the MINDEF Reserve (MR) will no longer be required to notify the MNC of their overseas trips of more than 24 hours and less than 6 months. However, they will continue to be subjected to exit permit controls for overseas trips of 6 months or longer.

A summary of the present and revised exit control measures is given in the following table.

Comparison of Current and Revised Exit Control Measures


Current

Revised | (as of 1 Aug 2006)
Exit Permit
NSFs Required for each overseas trip. | Required only for overseas trips of 3 months or longer.
NSmen Required for overseas trips of 6 months or longer. NSmen must surrender their EPs upon their return to Singapore. | Required for overseas trips of 6 months or longer. NSmen not required to surrender EP upon their return to Singapore.

How old am i?

You Are 31 Years Old

Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

Fustration

original source : Gary's Blog

frustration

now what is this 'frustration' about? its my usual ranting, nothing to be alarmed about.

for those who takes the mrt regularly to city hall to pay marina square and suntec city a visit, a walk down ciy link mall will make you wonder about 2 things if you had paid enough attention on the surroundings.

1. the severe lack of rubbish bins. was walking towards the mrt from marina square yesterday with a drink in hand, didnt manage to find a single rubbish bin for almost the whole stretch of city link! no, not even the mrt has any rubbish bins, or at least i dont see any at the station itself.

on the report of allowing bicycles in mrt trains, oh please, people are just taking things too far these days. that person needs to be shot or something. i find baby prams that are not folded inside trains irritating already. the best part is the owners of the prams will just pushed them in even before the alighting passengers can disembark from the train, blocking the way out. sometimes i thought of banging the prams on purpose to show my displeasure, but i decided against it as it will incur discomfort to my body. lol? baby prams are supposed to be folded and not pushed in at mrt stations for the last time.

2. the second problem is not only isolated in city link only, but its a growing problem in shopping centres islandwide.thinking of over lapping shop names? far from it, in fact from my opinion, we dont have enough brands in the local shopping centre scene. the more important factor that i had noticed as of late is the 'amazingly missing chairs' in all shopping centres.

did you notice the lack of sitting these days? the only place where you can rest your feet is to hop into an eatery to have a drink/meal or something. is that a tactic that all the malls across the island is adopting? does that mean better sales per tenant? i dont know about this but i think its a risk that they are making as should there be an emergency case eg. pregnant woman giving birth, fainting people or people who have breathing dfficulties, it would be useful to have chairs or benches situation nearby. *shrugs*

Marcus, Peicheong. For u two.

Bugis-TCC-Parkway-ECP-Chalet-Beer

Woke up quite early on sat, was dragged to bugis by yuri to help her pick a suitable birthday gift for her brother. XD

Proceed to meet mom for late breakfast (at 1pm)

Walk down to Plaza Sing, went to find mr. kenneth, whom failed in $$ changing mission.

Proceed to fav spot. TCC - Atrium.

While drinking my coffee/ice water, i realise smthing... everytime i took a sip of the ice water (ok.. maybe 1 small mouthful) the cute waitress there will automatic refill my cup within 2-3min.. hmm.. and it was quite packed there... this process repeats for like 10++ time? till we settled for Bill and left... (shrugs)

Left PS @ 3.40, ken went to find gary... and i just carry on with my next appointment.

Reach Parkway about 5min late, went to meet marcus to get some syrup for kenny chalet. and we took a cab from there (after a lot of empty caps juz zoom pass us, marcus finally got one cab @ Roxy)

moved to East Coast Park's mac to wait for Roger to come.. and after roger came, and makan-ed. we scout for the very nice acarde where kenny was talking about... it was a very SUPRISED.. coz the acarde's game were like in the 90s... far from what we expected.

walked another 2-3click (nt sure the distant) to kenny's chalet..
quite dissapointed also.. coz
firstly, there was an addition birthday girl, whom we did not know, thus we only had 1 present for kenny's gf.
secondly, the lack of skills... which i dun think i should talk deep into it.
thirdly, lack of co-ordinating work.. which i also will be skipping tru.

Roger, Marcus, Mi decided to leave early, and headed back to my turf, to play some last min acarde..

marcus left around 9+ , Roger and mi played till ard 11pm, and headed to grab some beer/makan @ the kopitiam

Chatted till 1.30am or smthing... lol


Off to another chalet.. let's hope this one IS better.

做自己

每天工作結束後回到家，無論多晚，
第一件事情就是上各打網去看看朋友們的留言，這成為我一天之中最重要的功課。
不論是短短的留言，或是笑話﹐互相鬧對方~更是第二天工作的動力~
不過最近在軍中發現有些對我的個人的攻擊，我其實很納悶這些人的目的是什麼？
只是覺得很難過，許多無中生有的事情被寫的栩栩如生，真是。。。可怕?！
還真像是八點檔的的故事情節哦~不知道是否該頒一個最佳編劇獎給他們？
我知道很多朋友(像是情不知﹐不點老妹﹐未來等人。。。太多了﹐列不完啦)都會聲援我、支持我，
我非常的感謝大家！
我會繼續努力，本人我問心無愧~堅持做自己~
不會讓這些流言打敗我，請大家拭目以待!!

The World is NUTS

Proof that the World is Nuts

1) In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with animals, but the animals must be female. Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable by death. Does that make sense to you?

2) In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly at them during the examination. He may only see their reflection in a mirror. (Do they look different reversed?)

3) Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a corpse. This also applies to undertakers. The sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a brick or piece of wood at all times. A brick?

4) The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation. (Much worse than "going blind!")

5) There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them for the privilege of having sex for the first time Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden for virgins to marry. (Let's just think about this one for a minute. Is there any job anywhere else in the world that even comes close to this?)

6) In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare hands. The husband's illicit lover on the other hand, may be killed in any manner desired. (Ah, Justice!)

7) Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England - but only in tropical fish stores. (But of course!)

8) In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with her husband, and the first time this happens, her mother must be in the room to witness the act. (Makes one shudder at the thought.)

9) In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex with a woman and her daughter at the same time. (I presume this was a big enough problem that they had to pass this law?)

10) In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending machines with one exception: Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for consumption on the premises" (Is this a great country or what? Well . . not as great as Guam!)

11) Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. (Who volunteers for this stuff?)

12) Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. (Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)

13) The ant can lift 50 times its own weight, can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over on its right side when intoxicated. (From drinking little bottles of ... ? and does the government pay for this research?)

14) Butterflies taste with their feet. (Ah, geez.)

15) An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. (I know some people like that.)

16) Starfish don't have brains. (I know some people like that, too.)

17) Turtles can breathe through their butts. (And I thought I had bad breath in the morning!)

41 Stupid Things to Do in a Men's Public Restroom

41 Stupid Things to Do in a Men's Public Restroom
Introduce yourself to the guy at the next urinal.
Turn the light off while stalls are occupied.
Order a pizza. (This works great in bars that allow outside food deliveries. Call back the pizza parlor thirty minutes after you place your order, giving them plenty of time to start delivering the pizza, and tell them you can be found in the last stall in the men's bathroom. Refuse to leave until you get your pizza.)
Stick your head over an occupied stall and ask for the time.
Tell people that they're on TV. Point to some random spot on the far wall and ask them to "smile for the camera".
Lie down across all the sinks and pretend to be passed out.
Use a stopwatch to time people going to the bathroom. Cheer them on to encourage good performance.
Hold your hand in front of a hand dryer while someone's using it.
Pour a bucket of water over an occupied stall.
Grab someone's ass really hard while they're using a urinal, and see how far you can get before they catch you.
Guard the paper towel dispenser in the name of the Earth Liberation Front.
Say to the guy at the next urinal: "This is the best part about being gay."
Say, "Huh, that's funny. I don't remember eating asparagus."
Turn off the faucet while someone's washing their hands. Repeat.
Pee on someone's leg and tell them it's raining.
Offer to blow-dry other people's hands with your mouth to save energy.
Point at someone's crotch while they're using a urinal and yell, "Ha ha, your fly is down!"
Put on a hand puppet show underneath the stall next to you.
Complain about the size of your penis.
While inside the bathroom, ask where the nearest bathroom is. After you've received a puzzled look or response, reply, "I'm not looking for a toilet, you moron, I'm looking for a bathroom. Haven't you ever taken a bath? Apparently not. No wonder it smells like shit in here."
Demand to know where the glory holes are.
Walk up behind someone who's using a urinal and wrap his head in toilet paper.
Ask a friend to help you stage a live audio performance of a violent mugging for your unwitting audience inside the stalls. Make sure the final line of dialogue is, "You come out of there and I'll blow your fucking head off."
Inside a stall, pretend to be talking to a young child, "That's right Johnny, remember what I told you about unzipping your fly? Oh, now look what you did!" Then slap your hands twice and make crying noises.
Hang a realistic dummy from a noose inside one of the stalls as a wacky surprise for the next visitor.
Knock on the stall next to you and say, "Do you have enough toilet paper in there? I got plenty if you need some."
Put up a sign above the sink that says "Did you remember to wipe?"
Put up a sign that says, "This is the legally required 'Employees must wash hands' sign which we disregard on a daily basis."
Put up a sign that says "Caution: please do not use toilets."
Fill the liquid soap containers with motor oil.
Have (mobile) phone sex while standing at a urinal.
Smear peanut butter on a piece of toilet paper, drop it between stalls, and curse yourself for being clumsy.
Flash people standing just outside the bathroom door. Tell them that you've finally "found the loophole".
Pump soap for people, give out paper towels, and demand tips.
Wear a camera around your neck and offer to take people's photos for money.
When the bathroom is empty, get down on your hands and knees and hold your face over one of the urinals. Wait in that position until someone enters the bathroom. Act as if you're embarrassed to be caught.
See how long you can do a raspberry inside one of the stalls before someone asks you if you're alright.
Whisper, "Now spread your legs, honey. Oh yeah, that's it."
Drop a small, unclothed, plastic baby doll in a toilet, along with an ample supply of red food coloring.
dentify people who have not washed their hands. Follow them out of the bathroom and publicly announce this fact.
Congratulate yourself aloud on a job well done.

Ashley Albright (LINDSAY LOHAN) is the luckiest woman in the world, a person to whom all the good things in life have come far too easily. She can pick a lottery ticket at random and hit the jackpot. In New York, the world's busiest city, Ashley never has to wait for a cab. And she has a terrific job as an account exec at a prestigious public relations firm. Everything goes Ashley's way. And now, she's been given a great opportunity to advance her career: she is to plan a masquerade ball in downtown Manhattan for record mogul Damon Phillips (Faizon Love) and his company.

Jake (CHRIS PINE), on the other hand, is a bad luck magnet. His skies are always raining; his pants are always on the verge of splitting at the seams. His job is cleaning toilets at a bowling alley. But even a steady bombardment of catastrophes doesn't dim Jake's dreams. He thinks he may have his chance at the brass ring with his discovery of a rock band McFly. If Jake can keep his bad luck at bay for just one night, he'll sneak into a masquerade ball and get McFly's CD into the hands of music titan Damon Phillips.

On this night when dreams can be made or broken, fate brings Ashley and Jake together on the dance floor. Instantly taken with one another, they share an electrifyingly kiss and with that one kiss, their luck switches places.

Suddenly, Ashley's dress rips. Her heel breaks. Her good luck seems to have finally run out. Jake, in his rush to catch Phillips before he leaves, ends up saving the record mogul's life and earning with that one simple twist of fate, the chance to make all his dreams come true.

As Ashley desperately races to regain the luck she blithely took for granted, she begins to see that it's not so much having good luck but what you do with it that counts, and that her greatest chance of redemption lies with the guy who holds the key to her sudden change of fate.
