back to another long week of lectures and lessons back at BMTC.. this is kinda torturous ( though those in guards will probably mock at this right now. o.0) anyway its really just trying to stay awake for tons and tons of lectures, lectures after lectures.. zzz
anyway i realised i haven't went out with friends for AGES... except for the trip to chevrons on sat morn (totally work related and not out of volunteerism), i haven't been out since.... the week i came back from taiwan???! thats like... gosh, almost a month.. but that should end pretty soon, even though i haven't got any appointment next weekend ( there a ben n jerry fest!!!! anyone interested? sms me. haha. ) tried asking the swimmers to go but shu's not free and i didn't really ask the rest after that.. some of my section mates are going for the fest with their girlfriends.. the rest not interested. -_- anyway will see how about that.
even so, there is pretty much to look forward to. thats if
1. i will not be taking any batches till jan
2. if i do take, the OC of my company is nice enough to let me off on the weekends. o.0
anyway.. lets see
13 dec: swimmers gathering. venue not confirmed.
20 dec: 1006 class gathering. settlers, time not confirmed.
27 dec: swimmers christmas party. venue and time not confirmed since im supposed to be the one planning -.-
well. that makes up 3 weekends.. hopefully i'll be able to make it for them all... :)
anyway christmas is coming up pretty fast.. i was wondering if i should send christmas cards out.. but i'm pretty lazy about that.. since a few years ago. =x yeapp... hahahha.. too bad i cant be around much to take in the holiday spirit as i will be in camp for 5 days a week ( if they don't insist on 5 and half days like they keep emphasising) lol.
i still hope that one day i'd be able to spend christmas ( maybe a couple) overseas.. somewhere where its snowing.. and people singing carols.. going to those grand cathedrals around europe for their christmas services.. haha..
also.. i realised christmas is getting abit 'colourful' nowadays. =x what happened to white christmas'es??? =( hahaha.. is that being traditional or just very picky? o.0
oh btw... since my camp is now in the east ( VERY FAR EAST) all my nights off is resulting in frequenting areas like changi.. pasir ris.. simei.., tamp.. maybe bedok.. so lets see.. everyone i know is studddyyingg... IN THE WEST. huh. silly gosh.. no wonder they say sergeants in tekong just don't bother going for nights offs... -_- good for max though since his girlfriend goes home to tampines every night.. school or not.. hahaha.. bad for me since most of my friends in the east STAYS AT HOSTELS in the west.... ^@%$^&@
well well whatever.
anyway i realised im being rather random.
lets call this.. too-long-never-blog syndrome? lmao.
ha.
a new beginning
22 weeks in sispec.
it ends right here.
211008
its been too long, too far we've come.
i don't even recall the first day i stepped into camp,
nor how i felt back then.
but its the journey, the field camps we went through,
the trenches we dug, the mountains we climbed..
all that will become a memory that can never be erased,
a part of my history never to be replaced.
all this while i've been yearning for this very day,
that i'll leave this very damned place.
and now that i am, i'm grateful,
to all those who have been part of this sispec memory,
to be there in the ups and downs,
so that i could be the person i am now.
thank you and all the best. :)
and as one story comes to a close,
a new beginning it shall be.
it ends right here.

back from TAIWAN.
totally knocked out yesterday + little bit of today. just had too much fun and too little sleep during the 3 pathetic days of R&R ( actually it was 2 and a half). but it was fun. :D
lets see.. training was like that. nothing special. if i had to describe it, i would simply say GRUESOME. not only because the SAF forbids me to say anymore ( some confidential shit thing) but also because thats all i'm willing to think of about that 19 days of hell. up down up down, mountains and all.. and the freak weather.. gives me the chills just thinking how i got through all that.
but its over. finally. ha ha ha.
postings due friday.. POP! 3sgt pay after that.. $$$$$ yeap yeap.. need alot of money to fund my growing addiction to sudden-burst shopping syndrome. lol. =.= i realised that in taiwan.. where i was just walking around looking at the clothes, quite reluctant to part with any money. and then i went to this shop and suddenly.. BAM. i started picking clothes like there was no tommorrow.. spent more than a 100 bucks within that half an hour i was there.. bought jeans, jacket, blazer, shirt, belt.. blah blah.. haha.
and if you're thinking its just a one time kind of thing.. i was at ximen in Taipei the next day... when i went around looking for bags and wallets and caps... 3 hours just walking around looking.. then suddenly within the next hour... i picked up a wallet, bag, another pair of jeans, 4 t shirts,and 2 caps. let me see... spent clost to 150 bucks. haha. O.O
in total i spent all the 600 dollars i brought there. so now im a pathetically poor begger.. thats until i get my next pay... anyone care to donate to M-Y charity? please? lol. i thought not. haha.
however i think the best thing about taiwan are the TOY MACHINES!! haha. ( thats excluding the girls of course, since everyone knows that already) not that the toys are exceptionally cute.. or that i can't find those machines in singapore.. its just..... so addictive. haha. pick and drop pick and drop. i swear i spent close to a thousand NT on those things.. managed to pick like 6 toys. o.0 got to get better at that some day. haha.
did not go over to taipei 101 nor jay's cafe and secret shop since i didn't really have alot of time. wanted to go after the steamboat on the last day but time just didn't permit it.. since last minute changes made the schedule very tight ( they pushed the time ahead by 1 HOUR to 1530 hrs. dumb huh?) oh and the plane was re-scheduled at the last minute to 2040hrs.. thats like almost 4 hrs difference from the timing given to us before the trip..
well oh whatever.. enjoyed taipei though.. and to some extent taizhong.. our training grounds >< haha. the cup noodles are fantastic.. theres like real meat inside!! =.= and they have heaters for the showers in the camp.. woohoo.. thats the two things singapore should copy after. heh.
back to camp tml morning. then its just preparation for friday... woooshh... hope friday is a sunny one. haha. =D
oh did i say i went to MPH book sale at expo yesterday? lets see i bought.. 1 2 3...... 17 books. yeap. thats gonna keep me crazily busy for a while . ha.
