Ninja Turtles


All this talk bout the turtles [Selven i feel your donatello pain], brought back some good old nostalgia. But way back to childhood, instead was with my attachment back to squadron about 2 years back.

As usual, the project officer got raped. If you know what I mean, you'd know what was raped. 3 slots of Island Mon a day, First Take Off today when you just did Night Flying last night. Did you forget weekend duties? Sat and Sunday flying.

Reason? Manpower problems ma, cover la.....


KNNBCCB. Not that work is not fun to do, it's just dont put it in a way like I owe you this "privilege" to work that much and dumb.

So, it's here that I met the 'turtles'. The gang of 5 comprising myself. How we chose this name, I've no idea, just that we used to tuang, smoke, eat together. Actually, it was a rebound reaction to counter what my junior guys called the "spiders" short for "kan cheong spiders". Alas, our sister squadron had the spider as their mascot [some black widowesque fantasy of theirs] and we were the panthers. So, from "spiders" the name morphed into "chao turtles" progessing to just "turtles".

Now who do u combat turtles, with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles of course.
Enter:

Shanker a.k.a Leonardo a.k.a. Leader cum double sworded tuang kia

Loo Peisen a.k.a. Donatelloo a.k.a. Single staffed zany mofo


Victor a.k.a. Raphael a.k.a. No idea why he got this name, elimination process I think.


Siaoa a.k.a. Michaelangelo a.k.a. The Pes E leave clerk we had who had a mental problem. Truly mental and anything he says does not cross 20 decibels. So, he got the name for being the "siao" one around here. How the hell do u pronounce that surname anyway? Michaelangelo wasn't part of the group per se, we just needed a "siao" fella to make up the numbers.


Sebastien a.k.a. Splinter a.k.a. we had to outsource your persona cos you really look like a rat la brudder. And no, I will not call you MASTER.


So, this was the way it was. Ninja turtles battling turtles for every rhyme and reason trough the day. Conflicts on sai kang, slots, manning, Ops O manning...you name it we got our 10 cents worth to put in, our 2 cents are free.

As I look back in time now, I feel we should have just chose another name. Something that could have got us home faster instead of more "kungfu"ish in the workplace. Biker Mice from Mars perhaps.
