integration exercise last week concluded ops phase in my LOCC course and the end of ops phase has made me inch a step closer towards signing on although i still am not entirely sure. but one thing for sure is that logisitcs is not the place to stay in such a scenario. in just 24 hrs, marvelous meilin awaits me in terrific taiwan as i board the awesome airplane of excellent EVA.

In unrelated news, i caught surrogates on monday after a short visit to NTU which incidentally is MOTHER FREAKING FAR from my home with a couple of the army dudes and it led me to kind of reflect on how far can technology go before it fully engulfs us as depicted in the show. As it is, we are using robots to do our menial task, and just today i read this http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/tech_and_web/article6012364.ece defects, perceived imperfections are just a few reasons why this idea might become popular in the future. How many of us can truely say they are happy with the way they look, or daring enough to do the most dangerous stunts in their current states. Thankfully,although most of us have conceivable flaws, it is not sufficient for us to think too much into it. At least thats what i feel. Nevertheless is the pursuit for science really essential? Arent we happy with what we have already? With the exceptions of health care and more specifically cancer and AIDS(even then recent research shows positive signs in finding a cure), I personally feel that the amount of technology we have is sufficient. i have my laptop, i have my internet, i have my aircon. But of course i am a simple army boy who is easily satisified and this might not be reflective of society.

Back to the present and i guess this is my last post before ROC. Will be back in 22 days!
