Endoh’s Dungeon

Mike, my armourer friend with Australian Army, gave me the nickname “Corporal Punishment” not without a good reason. If I had to melt out very nasty punishment, I would do so without even battling an eyelid. He too, gives hell to whoever mishandle or caught fooling around with dangerous stuffs. Some foolish things can really cost you your life.

Certainly so for my dog, when he persistently attempted to dash out to the road when I brought him to a new spot for his daily walk. For the entire 200 metres of the stretch of the carpark, he just can’t seemed to keep his paws on the pavement. Time after time, he walks roughly 5 metres before he turn to his left and out onto the road he goes.

How can I not? It’s not just any dog, BUT a Siberian Husky trekking more than 80 miles across desert and mountains just to get home. The survival instincts are so strong, until I find it unbelievable.

My ex-wife and I lost KiKi a few years back though, and he came back knocking and whining at our door after 2 days. We have completely no idea where he was during these two days after searching around the estate. Somehow or rather, he just found his way home.

Here’s the story for the Siberian Husky.

As the movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose depicts, an unfortunate German girl who eventually died after her series of exorcism. I don’t know what got into me, but I found the original recording of her voice during one of the exorcism sessions. Listen to it here.

Resume - An account of one’s professional or work experience and qualifications, often submitted with an employment application. Simple as it may sound, this can be one thing that will either make or break your application.

Over the years, countless friends have approached me to vet their Resumes. Most do it relatively with ease, creating a winning Resume is an art itself. While I am no Resume guru, I repeatedly spotted fatal mistakes made by friends and applicants in an employment firm I used to work for. I am not going to talk about every single aspect, but just some points which I feel job applicants should really take note.

The funny thing about going back for reservist and IPPT, it’s a love and hate affair. We detest the idea of having to walk into the camp, but yet we love every minute that all of us sat down and catch up with one another. By now, most of us have a job and it’s amazing to watch how life after National Service has transformed each and everyone of us.

Yesterday, I went back to take my IPPT and since most of us scored a Gold, we decided to “AWOL from home” and catch up over coffee. Forget about wives, forget about children, forget about those pet dogs & fishes… it’s an all-boys affair. As usual, we ask about one another and most of the times, we end up with some serious business apart from the dirty jokes. There are comrades who went through divorces, had children, fired from work, bullied by employers and so much more. I’m glad I found a friend in Alex.

It has been a hectic Monday so far. Straight after I was stripped of the two miserable stitches on my foot, I went home to put on my shoes and out I went.Two friends are getting married, one in Singapore and one in Taiwan. I had to run through the venues with the Singapore couple today and see what I can come up with. I seemed more tired than the couple, both physically and emotionally. I admit, I’m kinda turned off by the idea of having to attend weddings amist my own experience. For friends, I can’t help it and it’s only rightful to shelf personal emotions aside to get the job done. I just gotta come up with something really memorable for Darryl & Judy. I have to also oversee the entire music arrangement. Afterall, I always feel the couple should enjoy the ceremony instead of slogging themselves out just to please their guests. Not to mention, most of our Singapore guests are less appreciative of such efforts to share the bliss and end up with a string of complaints.

Hello… you’re only a guest! The couple deserves to enjoy their wedding, not you!

The second, are Alex and Nanci. I was informed by Nanci last night when she showed me the wedding photos. Since Nanci is in Taiwan (Alex is a New Zealander actually), I can only reduce myself to admiring pictures over distance. I think she looked really good in her Kimono, do you guys agree?

A wedding is probably the most beautiful event that one will ever attend in their lifetime. By which, their own wedding. Love lives everyday in our life, but it is this eventful day where we pledge our commitment officially that holds that extra meaning in our union. True, not all marriages end up the way they were meant to be, but this is the time husband and wife take their final step out of singlehood through their vows.The long road ahead… are for you and I.
