My trusty Nokia E61 got stolen last Friday in broad daylight. The lost of my companion is the saddest day of my life, I went crazy at the realization of it. Suddenly, I find myself so disorientated, so blinded in my everyday life.
I am a firm believer of effect from cause, what goes around comes around. The thief who stole it, I hope you can sleep peacefully at night without feeling the slightest guilt and fear of repercussion.
Now I have to start hunting for a new replacement. I am absolutely sure my Nokia 6610 is unable to plan my life as well as my lost E61. While I thought of getting back the same model, it would be pretty senseless to buy back the same phone that has went EOL (Read: End of Life). Latest smartphones are out of the question with its built-in camera when now I am still serving my national service. Oh well.
This incident aside, I visited Chinatown the day before and bought a few hundred grams of Bee Cheng Hiang's Gourmet Bakkwa (经典肉干) for sampling. It's heavenly, the fat melts in your mouth with every bite. *Yummy* It priced currently at $6 per 100g, pretty expensive considering the more common pork slices are priced at $40 per kg.
Anyway, buy your bakkwa early and store for Chinese New Year. The prices go insanely high when nearer to Chinese New Year.

Last week, my unit had a change of command ceremony. I was caught off guard when I was tasked to be the emcee the day before the actual event. I was all disquieted with the lack of time and the very little rehearsals they conducted. Worse still, four extremely high-ranking officers are attending.
Fortunately, everything went well at the end of the ceremony. No mispronunciation, no jumbling of words. Just as planned.
It was time to let the hair down after the ceremony. Free flow of food and drinks at the Officers' Mess. I set a new threshold, sipped 5 glasses of red wine and I am still as sober as before. A driver passed a casual remark that I was alcoholic 'high'. ha.
3 weeks to Chinese New Year. Can hardly wait. (:
