I was reading through Princess Fiona's blog... and i encountered this.. thought i'd give it a try..
| Why do people run from Clement? |
| There is a little green fairy that lives on your shoulder and tells you to kill people |
| 'Why do people run from you?' at QuizGalaxy.com |
Wat the.. Green fairy.. so coincidental..
But i felt this was more accurate..
| Why do people run from Shrek? |
| When you fart, the earth shakes |

Anyway, Cheer up ok?
Always in ** ***** for eternity,
A ******* for you arose from inside,
It swept across me,
The lone past still lingers...
Destiny cannot be denied,
Looking into the horizon,
Across the vast sea,
The journey is never ending...

Time passes so quickly..
One time i was looking forward to the IMF event, and now, it's over.
It has been quite a tiring but memorable event for me. The feeling of me in such a big event in Singapore that may never be organised in Singapore again makes me feel very proud as a Singaporean. Although many people really do not bother about the IMF event,there are peopl who actively promote the IMF event, as well as on TV.
Aniwaez, In the past 14 days, i have taken up many different roles during my IMF duties.
Security in Suntec is so tight. You cannot even bring foodstuff inside. And the water must be drunk from water made specially for this event itself. What i do not like is the heavy security on the road. It makes me feel so unnatural. Maybe it's because of the upcoming [past already by now..] September 11 risk.
The first day, the ops room was not ready, so me and kerui went to guard the entrace to the SSICEC (Singapore Suntec International Convention and Exhibition Centre [i think is like tat]) carpark entrance: that is to prevent the entry of civilian cars to prepare for the import of the 800+ BMWs. But then i got this massive tummyache until i went to see the medical centre that was created for this IMF event. I turned out to be their first patient.. lolx.. The irony: The medical centre is actually meant to be catered for delegates but i, a staff of the carpark team, went to see the doctor first. Turned out i got gastric flu. Took some medicine home and went to zzz straight.
On the second day, the real IMF duties start. I was given to sector 3. Me and my team, Kerui and Zaiful [pic]
From left: Me, Kerui, and Zaiful
were given 132 BMW 700 series to manage. This includes:
1) the issuing and returning of keys
2) managing the drivers
3) handling the admin matters of the sector 3
4) security matters
5) handling of the C&P checkers [just need to know where thay are]
Anyway, C&P is a car rental company that has been giving Singapore its support for mant events (or so i've heard) like Asian Aviation Expo and this IMF.
They are in charge of recruiting the chaffeurs and traiing them as well, and the provision of checkers that help check their vehicles when they come back from their detail.
Anyway, i am on the morning shift, which is from 0930 - 2230
And this is the night shift team, which handles sector 3 from 2130 - 1030.
* There is an overlap to ensure all instructions from previous shift have been passed down.
From the left: Loloq [Khairul], Shakir, and Danesh
TO summarize, we were always very busy and very messy bcause there would be always be something that we will forget to brief the other team or the paperwork is messed up. Luckily, i have these checkers:
Mr. Somboon - A Singaporean with a Thai name
Mr. Seah - A really good man in charge of all these people that i am going to introduce.
Poh
Chin
Anyway, imagine living half a day underground ofr 2 weeks.. How would you like it.. Somemore the first few days got no fan.. The fan came a few days later.
Anyway, this is how my sector looks like:
My sector 3 carpark area - housing 132 BMWs
My sector 3 main counter - the place where chaffeurs report when they want to go off or have just come back, resting point, and where all the C&P checkers gather
The two safari beds that have been drawn out by my team leader to let us get some shut-eye when possible. It is beside my work area - imagine sleeping in a carpark [have you all done it? will you even have a chance?? lolx..]
The storage area. It's where we keep all the spare documents and water if there is any. It's behind the work place. - There is a staircase leading up to the entrance of Balaclava!!
My daily vehicle movement chart - This chart is constantly updated so as to keep track of the movement of the vehicles as weell as their keys.
This is how a key press looks like. A key press is where we keep the keys. Inside the box have 44 keys. So Me, Kerui and Zaiful take charge of one box.
This is the car key that i have been interacting with for the past 2 weeks. - Lose this and the car is my responsibility.
Anyways, i have made a few good friends with the chaffuers, and here they are:
Henry - a good friend
Edmond Tan a.k.a. COL Edmond Tan - a very good and understanding friend. Alas, he has flown to U.S. for a month for a leisure trip.
Carolyn - One of the three female chaffuers belonging to my sector. Amiable and friendly
Towards the end of the event, the sector "offices" have to be relocated at the ops room because the number of keys going out have reduced and to keep better track with the movement of vehicles.
My relocated office - everthing is there.
Oh, and before i forget, the common rest area. I took this when i finish my shift, so all the student volunteers have went home. YES, you heard me, student volunteers. The common rest area is set-up for all staff that is required to be in the carpark: B1 and B2 carpark mngt team, chaffeurs, student volunteers, as well as C&P personnel
Lockers provided at the common rest area for all staff to put their belongings. Some are spoilt - maeaning some are free!! if not, it's 20 cents.
This is the driver's briefing area. This place is where the chaffeurs get their details and where they punch card.
One more thing, i met vickie along the way!! knew he was invlolved but dunno where he stationed at. In fact, he called me to ask me where i was. So we met and took photo:
Police officer and SAF warrior
There are a few times when the going gets tough. For example, Kerui and Zaiful, my teammates are involved in the Istana dinner. So they were attached out, leaving me one person to look after sector 3. Three people not enough le, i one person. During those times, i have to thank Edmond, the C&P checkers and esp mt team leader MSG. Jennifer.
Ok, next are pics of me and my friends. Girls, see anyone you like, tell me, i intro to you!! lolx.. =p
This one looks like chicken little rite? lolx..

Sianz.. I typed halfway then fall asleep..
I was at a friends house yesterday.. Jaymond's house to be exact. My other friend Benji is supposed to go to his house but then i follow him, so i ended up staying over too. Benji went over to tweak aymond com so that his com can host Warcraft game. Anyway, Jaymond has quite a lot of games, PS2 ones to be exact. Anyway, at Jay's house, i played DOTA. Got new version le!! OMG. Ver 6.36. got two new heroes. I played PS2 a bit then i actually fell asleep while typing this. [i am kinda overlapping yesterday with today]
SOL period is so fucked-up. One instrutor said this and then another istructor said another set of instrutions. But i thibk because of the IMF period, they are busy so i can forgive them. I feel that in my Syndicate group, including Syndicate 2 is quite lazy at times. so i hope there will be a change the next time.
Anyway, i have a trainee friend by the name of Sherwin. He has my dream car la!! A MAZDA RX-8 SIA!! here are some pics [not his car la.. i got from the net..]
The car on the road
The MAZDA RX-8 on display
The MAZDA RX-8 opened
The Interior of the MAZDA RX-8
Rox rite!!! and Sherwin used his own money to buy one sia.. not a single cent from his parents! Simply Amazing!!
Also, i wanna recommend this game. This game i feel that [Kerui feels rather and i agree] this game was made for the PSP only. The game is: LocoRoco. LocoRoco is a 2D action game where you control, through gravity, a blob of fluid to eat fruits to grow and become many blobs-in-one. I will explain. First, you start off with a single blob. As you progress along the stage, the blov will eat fruits nd then groe bigger. E.g. Lets say he ate a fruit, so now, he is double size but in actually fact, there are two blobs in a single body.
Pics are here:
You start off as a blob. As you progress, you will become bigger:
But you can also split up into smaller parts:
However, there will be baddies. The black things you see there will eat your blob one by one if not get rid off soon:

So much for my car and game, the Singapore 2006 IMF and world bank meeting is about to start. Even the Singapore Binnale has already started. Just think, peple from 184 countries will come to this little red dot on Singapore to have conferences, meetings, lectures etc. The whole of Singapore will be helping in one way or another. For me, i will one of the people who will be coming into contact with 600 odd BMWs [7 series]. Have you ever seen a open space filled with 600 odd of the same model of BMW
in a point of time before? I guess not. It will be my first time seeing that. I will be sure to take that photo down and post it up here. Anyway, the GEMS [Go the Extra Mile for Service] is very important to us 'cos we need it to leave a good impression on Singapore itself. I will surely do my job inthe best and efficient manner that i can!!
