Live Long and Prosper

The past 2 days i have spent at PAD have been... terrible. all that education and the work we do has nothing to show for it. we are just extra hands part of the team of SKW at PAD. spent all the time, either sitting in uncomfortable positions waiting for things to happen, or doing some menial task that shows the lack of thought by our superiors. Sigh... what a sad place to be. and we even constantly fall out late due to the "speed" of the crew over there... i can't imagine doing this for 2 years.

But i have made sure i compensated by having utterly fulfilling evenings! the first was Dinner yesterday night at Bedok 85, sure the trip down was troublesome as heck, but it was well worth the hearty meal of Bak Chor Mee, Oyster Omellette, Sting ray and Ah Balling (Tang Yuan). laughing and going crazy with the SOA guys, these people are good stuffs, and we definitely had a 'Good Stuff'. haha.

Then today, the main thing driving me toward the end of the day was the thought of FINALLY going to catch Star Trek with Mom, Uncle and Aunt! yes, yes we caught a really late movie, all the way at 9.30. it ended only just, about 12pm? But very VERY good movie. not for everyone, and i think the Trekkies enjoy it just a little more than those unfamiliar, because the way some of these characters have been reborn were fresh and exciting, but with just enough flavour for the old, without it being silly or over-the-top.

Spock was good and all, Kirk was.... kirk, haha, Sulu is Harold, i'm sorry, but everyone just can't get over that >.< and Scottie was hilarious. I read a few articles about what some Trekkies think of the new movie, and i have to agree, i might be a born again trekkie! sure i didn't watch that much when i was little, i still remember flickers of The Next Gen, Voyager, never watched the original Enteprise i believe, but i loved Captain Picard, and had enjoyed parts of Janeway's Voyager, so maybe if i have the time i'll go back and check them out! To Venture again, where many men have gone before!

i realise i have kept tomorrow night free despite a possible ending early at camp! hopefully can arrange something with mom, and with dad's recent trend of ending before 9, maybe we can really make it a "family day" of sorts!

This reminds me of BMT >.< the week is crap, but i treasure the time out i have so much more :) i can't wait for the weekend!
