Christmas Olympics!!!
First off, a Merry Christmas to all my relatives, buds and anyone who knows me. Everybody had fun? I'm sure most of us did... haha... Me included.
Basically, this christmas eve was a.... hmmm... eventful as well as uneventful one for me...
Ever thought of trying to ambush a person to surprise them? I think guys better think twice before doing it cause they might encounter all sorts of trouble they didn't really expect.
Being the founder of the one of its kind "Anything-also-can-try-doing" consultancy company, i recently came up with another project, that is "Civilian ambush project". The jism of this plan was to try to intentionally meet with another party without any prior arrangements with the other subject.
1400hrs- Props fully prepared, no move time executed.
1600hrs- Final confirmation of intelligence from secret agents.
1800hrs- Suit up and ready to go! Launching of mission.
Props include, dreamcatcher, candy cane, card and plastic bag.... What? Where are the flowers? Darn!!! The agents reported first shortfall of operations, all the florists are closed.
Nevertheless, problem rectified at 2000hrs...
Venue: Raffles City Shopping Centre, B1
Florist shop sighted with gate ajar, just halfway to full shutting down. Managed to persuade pretty shop owner to do just one final order. Good thing i'm handsome enough, one tulip bouquet coming right up!
Phew! Close shave to mission failure, the usual encounters in a typical SAF operation.
2015hrs
Venue: City hall MRT
Analysis of new intelligence report indicates high possibility of subject appearing at the esplanade where there's less crowd, the presence of a cool singapore's-very-own jazz band entertaining the house and sea view coupled with sea breeze. Preference matching with subject...100%. Moving towards new "rendevous point". Somehow, had a feeling that subject is wearing red and black today.
2030hrs
Ground search operations started at suntec. Nothing escapes my eagle eyes... Left a message with the fountain of wealth:"Calling for yx. Planning surprise but can't find you. You know where to meet when u see this message." Combed Millenia walk, hardly any flys around even during festive seasons.
2130hrs
Ground search opeartions halted. Hmm... no results yet. Did i miss something? hmmm... Found out much more about the esplanade today. Search recommenced, leaving no tables unturned.
2230hrs
Search is futile with no further inputs of intelligence. Frequency jammed by unknown enemies. Subject could be anywhere. Settling down for jazz break. Morale low. 90 minutes to end of H-hour. Darn! Mission seems certain to fail.
2400hrs
Mission failed. Unforeseen circumstances hindered by poor communication and advanced jamming. Subject unlocated.
Theory of impromtu ambush is proven to have a high possibility of failure even with intelligence support. Probability of success, as good or even lesser than striking 4D or ToTo. Naiveness and overconfidence found to be main ingredients of this project. Lesson learnt, no more casablanca imitations.
Anyway, that was one hell of a christmas operation for me man.... Shag... Thus, i gave it the name Christmas Olympics. Say.... does anyone wanna try breaking the record for finding the needle dropped into the sea just by snorkelling?
