The leopard, Panthera pardus, is very adaptable and the most widely distributed of the big cats, found across Asia and Africa in habitats ranging from open savannah to dense jungle. The base colour of its coat varies from pale yellow to deep gold, patterned with black spots arranged in small rings called rosettes. Its legs are shorter than a cheetah's but longer than a jaguar's. Its muzzle is longer than either of the others', and it has a long tail. It is an excellent climber and often stores its kills in trees, out of reach of larger predators. The 'black panther', often thought to be a separate species, is in fact simply a melanistic (black) leopard.
The cheetah, Acinonyx jubatus, is found mainly in Africa (outside of this continent there is only a small, relict population in Iran). Its whole body is designed for speed - it is the fastest-running animal in the world. It is the tallest and slimmest of the three, with long legs and a long, slightly flattened tail which acts like a rudder, helping it make tight turns at high speed. Its head is small and rounded, with a short muzzle, and unlike other cats its claws are only partially retractile, so they are always visible outside the paw - they act like spikes on running shoes, helping the cheetah grip the ground when running. Its background colour is tawny, covered with small, solid black spots. A very distinctive feature of the cheetah are the 'tear-marks' on its face - two black lines running from the inner corner of the eyes down to the corner of the mouth.
The jaguar, Panthera onca, is found only in the jungles of South America. It resembles a leopard, but is much stockier and more muscular, with shorter legs and tail. The head is broader with a shorter muzzle, and the spots are larger and arranged in bigger rosettes. It is also more richly coloured. Unlike the other two, it is fond of water and often hunts turtles and fish. It is the third largest of all cats, after the tiger and lion.

u eat not bcos the food is tasty, not because u are hungry, but bcos u got nth to do and food is all u see. u slp not becos u enjoy slping, not becos the wether is nice, not becos u have done everything and u've got nth better to do, but bcos u are too tired, or becos u have to slp so that u wont feel tired when on duty. and all u did on your duty is nth interesting, nth exciting, but rather a daily routine, daily routine of standing at guard post, checking vehicles and personels coming into base, saluting the high rankers. or even worst, u just sit down at one of the emplacement looking at the airforce planes taking off and landing, or u see planes at changi airpot doing the same shit flying and landing. worst thing is, u cant slp, eat, and do things u are not allowed to just becos eyes are watching on you, cameras are pointing towards you. and if u got caught, u just continue doing duties when others bk out on their off days.

Dear dear.. y aren't you online? watching tv ar? =( 今天真的对不起没有抽出时间来陪你。。。 Last nite i accidentally told my mum that i'll b having dinner at home b4 i bk in, then today she cooked extra rice for me to fry b4 i bk in, cos she went to take care of my aunt.. Then bo bian, i latest have to leave home at 9.30pm to bk in mah, then my clothes all havent dry i cant pack them yet as well, so if i go out meet u, i'll have to reach home by latest 7pm... Then ur sch finish at 5pm rite? where got time to go play pool? Cos u still need to go home and change clothes 对吗?
Actually by rite i'm supposed to bk in tml morning at 7.30am, budden tt one very rush, if i miss the 1st few buses i'll be late le, must wake up at 5am... So i decided to bk in tonite.. =( Sorry dear dear, it's not that i don't miss you... Besides the sky is about to rain lar.. Will delay a lot of time if it really rains rite?
还有还有,next time when u sms me can try to insert more emoticons mah? Or else just by reading words i might not be able to tell your feelings, i can only guess... Then i cant confirm if my guess is rite..
1 impt thing that we missed out in our relationship is the friendship period bah... We havent get to know each other's 性格 then we became stead le.. Maybe it's my fault, but still, 我没有后悔做你男朋友,也很开心你能做我女朋友。And becos of that, i don't understand u well bah.. Sometimes u reply my sms i also don't know how u actually felt, is it happy, contented, sarcastic, angry, or bo chap... -.- So if can ar, dun insert "wth, wtf, nabei, fuck lar" and other vulgarities unless u are really pissed bah k?? ^^
And also, tt time u mentioned to me that u want to save ur hp bills from 暴, then how sia? U sms me so little, then always outside with ur friends cannot stay at home gimme a call with ur house phone... Then when i call u also u sometimes not free to chat, haven tok for long u say u bz wan to 挂电话了。。 Liddat how sia? =( 真的很少时间勾通 lors...

Or if u want to write out also can lar hahas xDD
And since u're still confused abt my working schedule, i try to explain here... Easier..
Now my time table is consist of 4 days cycle: Day 1: Book in 7.30am Day 2: Book out evening (not sure ard what time yet) Day 3: Book in at 8am and bk out at 6pm latest... For standby purpose incase anything emergency happens the air base needs more manpower... (sometimes day 3 might not need to book in at all, depends on the superior decision) Day 4: 1 full day off.
Then back to day 1 again... Then day 2, 3 ,4 and so on... It's a cycle... So if this thursday i off, then friday will be on duty till saturday, then sunday on standby, then monday off again. Is it easier to understand now?? O.o?
