It's now about 8 months away....

Soon, it'll be time to go....

A hard month of May just went by, lots of stuff to do in camp, been really busy and all. Want to take driving lessons also no time to do so. sad. Nothing much to update in this blog also. Not much things to say to keep this going. haha...

June is going to be another busy month i guess, gah. 1 more month to tahan.

You pile up enough tomorrows and you'll be left with nothing but a bunch of empty yesterdays. I don't know about you, but I'd like to make today worth remembering.

AHHHH, finally another off duty week, finally another pay day, and finally an off day on a friday! Woo, stupid IPPT money not in yet, means i cannot go out on a free shopping trip. Grrrrr!!!!

Anyways, quite a short duty week, sigh i really should stop talking about ns, it's damn boring. Today went out with wei tze and tong hao, youdian gave them a dinner treat in return for all the nice food they bought for us during our duty week. Dinner was steamboat buffet at a nice location somewhere near plaza sing. After that as usual with 11 guys we don't know what to do nor where to go, watched boon liang play SF4 for a while. Watch him own, then watch him get own. Went to eat swensens, 6 ppl share an earthquake and a crumble. Haiz. Another off day gone.

Why do time fly when you start enjoying yourself????? haiz again...

I passed my IPPT, got silver again for the second window. HAHA. Just made it pass the finishing line of 2.4km with a time of 11.40 on the dot. Goodness, i'm getting from chui to cannot make it.

$100 free for the month ahead!

Damn tired today.

Nothing much to talk about. except for dinner with a friend during nights out on tues. haha, really had fun catching up with her. actually i cannot say it's catching up, cause it's like that was our first dinner together. LOL. so i had fun conversing with her. ok nvm, i shall just leave it as it is here.

why do i have people making things difficult everyday...

Longest Days

Another super long week in camp, this time till friday. Genting was great, sad to say good things never last. The food, the weather, made coming back to Singapore a chore. I missed the bed there already. Sigh. A super busy month coming right up, i don't know but i sure wish it's going to be over soon. Sadly i think not.

Everyone seems so involved in their own things now. Just like how i was talking with yd about stuff(things guys do when they get really bored), sigh, how life have changed over the years. At times i wish i could go back to when things looked easier....

less than 10 months to go, it seems like an eternity....

save me from animosity...

I'm looking forward to the next off duty week, off to malaysia genting with my bunch of army friends. I cannot wait! :) hmmm...... my days are dragging, with a new bunch of people coming in next week, it's teaching the new kids on the block time again.

Time to finally begin taking driving lessons, having waited for such a long time. Pui. It seems that procastination is a good habit in army. Last min last min. Nothing seems prepared early. Haha. But then again... i only can start in late april, not a cause for any celebration....

we're only here for 1 more night...

I know i know.
I have a blog that isn't updated.

Wonderful.
I have a new place to stay in camp that doesn't give me internet access.

Amazing.
I still manage to pass my FTT without doing much of my online e-trial. God's blessings.

Confused.
I got so many movies to watch i don't know what to start with.

Frustrated.
I've been down with flu for coming close to a week.

If something anticipated arrives too late it finds us numb, wrung out from waiting, and we feel - nothing at all. The best things arrive on time.

I need a little more luck than a little bit
Cuz every time I get stuck the words won't fit
And every time that I try I get tongue tied
I'll need a little good luck to get me by

A night out with the guys,
another day spent otherwise
another movie added to my list
some would say they rather give it a miss

Another hour on the phone with her
this moment i wish it were a whole year

give me something now to look forward to i say,
before this wonderful time goes away...

Treetalk walk @ Macritchie nature reserve yesterday, it was fun but super tiring, and a super waste of time. LOL. Anyway, it just brought back my height phobia along that narrow platform. HAHAHA.. At times it was quite scary too look down >.< Ok nvm, it was fun nevertheless, but we were all dressed wrongly.. imagine people in t-shirt and jeans walking along nature reserve, so much for fleet day. Hahaha.

Talked to someone i've never talked to yesterday. It was just great :) felt so happy after the conversation. Haha. Seriously, ns takes away laughter.. Somehow i found it for the moment yesterday.

Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

And so i have my chinese new year. Part of it at least. Zzzz, when the important eve and the first day comes, where am i? Duty in camp. HAH.

Nevermind, besides the wonderful fact that the base was virtually empty except us, we could secure many stations early, and hence it was like chalet. Psp, steamboat, pizzas, macs, totally entertainment man. This week has been pretty eventful. Guard house alarm, for once in a blue moon.... triggered... the excitement and anxiety as you rush out to a possible danger at the gate. Ahhh, special.

let's hope this off week would be fun...

Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.

Hey there!

After a long time, i've returned to blogging to kill time! Hahahaha. Life has pretty much settled down in NS, just seeing out the rest of my time of service. Just pray that I won't come up with major stunts, and i can ORD peacefully!

2009 has brought about a new start. Hmmm, feeling a little different this year, a little happier, a little more contented. :)

just hope things would get better!

In times like these, it helps to recall that there have always been times like these.
