FINALLY my Sitemeter is back up and running! :D Kudos to the prompt reply from the Sitemeter team to my whiny complains and actually bothering to correspond personally to my emails and stuff instead of generating one of those annoying auto-messages... Well. Let's celebrate with a picture post! :D

14th September 08 - SWAT Tactical Training @ Outpost Cineleisure
Was a very interesting and enlightening weekend. That military/SWAT simulation stuff we see in the movies is ALOT HARDER THAN YOU THINK!!!!! Fuuuh. And we also learnt a thing about all that streetfighting gangland style shooting... looks cool... but sorry la brader that stuff NEVER works in real life! :P And thanks Andi for the photos!

The "base". XD
NO THOSE GUNS ARE NOT REAL. Only for events and things like that.

Alan giving the briefing... and important advice...
Always treat a gun with respect and responsibility... even if it is a toy gun. And with that discipline will come automatically.

Teaching us the right way to handle a gun.
And guess what. My M16 which I used at GameAxis... yeah. It broke. So I had to borrow.... T.T

Not many photos taken that day... but there were videos of our room-clearing drill... which were INCREDIBLY HILARIOUS. In real life, we'd be dead upon entering. XD And the best thing was... we were doing it at a fire exit directly in front of a security camera. Gosh. The guards must've been having a good time watching and laughing their heads off! Hopefully these will be up soon. :D

Other things now... helped to move some stuff at CLGC today.... which included a demolition smashfest. This row of cabinets had to be taken apart in order to be carted out to the dump... so Ernie and I literally took it apart. With 2 Yamaha drum stands. Dammit someone should've taken a video!!! Well I have to say Ernie did most of the smashing and crashing, being the stronger one of us both (tho HEY I did do my fair share of damage!) and by the end of it all his drumstand actually bent! But well... the cabinet did "hit back" to an extent... along with the other stuff we were moving around...
