Today my blue swivel chair, the one which I sit in to work on my computer, has broke along the metal beam that supports the back support. Yes it was a sad day, it was a cheap chair from Carrefour true but it was good chair. Today shall be called Swivel Chair Memorial Day...

Ok that means that I seriously need two critical things...

1)Is a new chair to call my own and...

2)Some sanity which has flown out of the window as I write this for some reason.

Please note that I live on the 21st Storey of a Housing Development Board Flat(HDB for our abbreviation-addicted locals) hence if my sanity flew out of the window it would be quite hard to recover. :drooling:

Anyway I also went ahead today and on a whim bought one of those 1/144 scale Gundam Plastic kits, the ones that involving cutting parts out of a frame and snapping the pieces together. Yeah I'm also a mecha fan and an otaku so there goes any chances of having an ordinary life

Yeah I like the technical designs of the mecha and the suit's concepts are great and all but...nobody seems to care about the grunt machines. I mean, several hundred get blown up every other episode when a nobody is in the cockpit and when the main character steps into the cockpit, it instantly becomes invincible. Talk about Deus Ex Machina for the lucky robot.

As to my epics, I'm still working on the .hack epic (hoping to end it eventually on a good note) while I'm juggling several concepts I'm hoping to incorporate into the Pilak Chronicles Epic series. The links to the current epics in the series are on the right of this entry.

Also back to real life for a while...I got the results of my JAE (Joint Admissions Exercise) for a while and it turns out I'm clear for an Aerospace Avionics course in Republic Polytechnic on the other side of the island. [sarcasm]Oh joy, travelling almost 2 hours to get there on time[/sarcasm], however this allows me the option of approaching the Air Force for a sponsorship. This would allow me a job in the Air Force along with other privilieges like a $1000 salary and a $1200 bonus for passing the semester...all this assuming they accept the registration to sign up, oh the joys of selling my soul to the military. :happydance:
