Till 2010, i only need to be back in camp for one day. Sounds AWESOME man wahahaha.
Until it is found out that there's only like what. Five more days in 2009? That's just shingz manzxzx.
I heard weeks ago that somewhere on this planet there exists a nation where our dear santa claus is prohibited from giving his trademark HO HO HOOO. I really wonder what all the santa impersonators say there then.
HA HA HA! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
HEE HEE HEE! " " ?!?!
I really wonder. Must be a pretty amusing christmas over there all the time. C'mon, im sure santa didnt have insulting females in mind all these while, aren't we all supposed to be mature and intelligent enough to avoid relating and spoiling x'mas with lame derogatory slangs?
Oh wells, merry belated x'mas, and a happy boxing day.
Hah i'm supposed to be confined in camp. Somehow i'm clearing my offs and leaves now.
Now it's gonna be next week. /:
Oh wells.
I'm seriously growing old really quick, like, i think my knee's degenerating already. Sigh. ):
Seven days of stoppage of leave here i come. Byebye next weekend. ):
I so wanna cry.
Shit happening to you? There's always more from where that came from. Yay!
Haha.
10 days straight in tekong protecting plane flying all over to and fro singapore, returning to camp immediately for standby duties when it's not supposed to be me, when the rest get 2 days off, getting charged mainly because of the unbelievable state of oblivion of my men to the surroundings and really REALLY BAD luck.
There's just so much more i can list. Life's supposed to be spelt as L-I-F-E.
Mine's F-M-L-I-F-E.
Got out together with the class guys yesterday, and finally after some time we had all 8 members of pda out hahaha. It was really great, reminiscing all the crazy times we had in nj, re-enacting some of them even. Heh. After going on great circles thinking of places to go to, things to do, we ended up in clarke quay drinking. Playing 7up, laughing at each other taking shot after shot, helping one of our guys when he got drunk, standing by him. Hahaha, crazy times indeed.
Now i understand how people go drinking to drown their sorrows. Disillusioned with their problems, they simply cannot be bothered to control how much they're drinking, to control their willpower to prevent themselves from getting intoxicated. Seriously, i thought i was going to end up wasted last night. But i kept telling myself NO subconciously, to maintain my control over my actions. It worked i guess, hahaha.
I think music beats alcohol anytime in dousing the emoments.
The big countdown has begun, 362 days till ord...
It sounds like i've gone through loads of army already, but i haven't even been through half of the full duration hahaha. (i'm halfway next month)
Sigh.
Been travelling to so many different camps, might as well call us combat normads rather than combat engineers hah. It's pretty much a pain in the butt to carry all your stuff from one camp to another so many times in such a short time span. Lemme count, since the beginning of the year, ive been to.... at least EIGHT different camps, staying there for different durations each. The past week i was at clementi camp. Tonight im booking in to hendon camp. Tomorrow im off to tekong. RAWR.
And this marks 10 days back in tekong, that's a pretty good thing i guess, ive been missing that place alittle for some time, and maybe i can scare a couple of bald recruits here and there hahaha. But 10 days out there without contact with civilisation sucks man. It's certainly not as bad as compared to going to some other foreign land, but ah whatever, im having my fair share of overseas training next year.
My social life has been crumbling before my very eyes, perhaps this is something quite expected... Everyone's missing from here and there, and i can feel the distances growing larger and larger.
November 5 2010. Sigh.
Having men under your charge sure ain't easy. They talk back, move in a file, march like worms, make lots of noise and do all sorts of things to make your hair explode. I think getting effed by a random captain, notorious for crazy scolding sessions, just because of the men is just the first of many pains that i'll have to go through. Rawr.
My Sister's Keeper: A story about the struggles in a family as they try to keep a dying leukemic girl alive. Dilemmas abound, the ethics of using donor children and genetic modification, the loneliness of a single male child eclipsed by his 2 sisters (HMMMM...), the rights of one to euthanesia, flaws in the laws (heh), yadda yadda yadda. Amidst all these in a movie one should definitely watch before taking a GP examination, it's always death that drills the deepest.
The agony of losing a loved one. The uncertainty and mysteries shrouding the notion of death. Like, what would happen when you die? Would you really get sent to a heaven or a hell? Or is it just, The End, where everything is just pitch black and you don't even know that you're dead, with no trace of conciousness at all?
Death's really scary i think. The bus i was in collided into a car a few days ago, if the bus were a second faster the car would've collided into US. Luckily that wasn't the case, and there were no injuries at all. Then my friends and i went on to buy 4-D. HAHAHA! (it was my first time lol!)
Death is just death. Nobody understands it.
I sooo wanna watch (500) Days of Summer. But there's no one free. ):
Ah sigh. To put one foot in front of the other is a huge challenge.
I seriously have to share this:
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A CUTER BIRTHDAY CAKE?!
Hahaha.
I miss those days ):
