Sispec
haha so i’m in sispec. i feel kinda ambivalent about it. on one hand i’m relieved i’ll have a less torturous army life as compared to the octs. but ugh pride and face issues la. screwed up screwed up. but nvm nvm, no 3 weeks confinement so i’ll be back in 5 days (:
ok, actually i don’t have much to say. 6a gathering tonight! byebye!
History is fun.
My own, that is. i cannot believe i’ve spent the past 4 hours or so looking through old photos and reading my archives, especially the jc 07 and 08 ones, years i enjoyed the most. i think 07 is still my favourite year, a year of a wide range of firsts, and the year i made many close friends and opened up to people. in the certs council offers relatively not much. but i’m glad i still possess the memories that my posts and pictures bring back. i will definitely treasure them for years to come. okay not only council. class, old friends, everything.
mostly it is the people. i miss quite a number i will not admit i miss. whether we still keep in contact or not. some people never feel the same again. for reasons i shall not try to second guess. either way, block leave is ending and i have no more time again even for the current bestfriends, not to mention others. which is pretty sad.
i also decided to update even though views and comments and everything’s dropping unstoppably the most important impetus to blog is still present- i’ll love to read it again myself a few weeks, months and even years down the road, without a doubt.
pictures are great for spicing up posts. too bad i am so lazy.
anyway, i love my blog.
BLOCK LEAVE ):
The worst thing about me, or maybe me and the rest of pessimistic mankind, is that i only enjoy something nice if it’s part of the near future. not when it’s the present. the thought of it being over is frankly speaking quite suffocating and depressing. tmr is wednesday already, and in another 2 days’ time we’ll find out our posting. and another 2 days, hell begins once more.
the past few days were pretty well-spent, nonetheless.
last wed – watched hannah montana with nick. it was okay. haha. okay la okay la it was above expectations. positively interesting, heartwarming???
last thurs – went to sentosa with the section and got all burnt up. till now i’m still peeling. that said, i’m like blacker than jijo now, which i never imagined was possible. good job NS, good job sentosa! this is about as dark as i would ever get in my lifetime i guess. anyway the trip was fun la, attendance was not bad.
last fri – accompanied nick at island creamery while she tried to study. hahahaha. i am a potent distraction, although i try very hard not to. realised i was feverish from the sunburn and took meds and chinese herbs for 2 days. and continued my tour de singapore.
saturday – went to lynn’s house with calvin and qinsheng for her very belated housewarming. we all thought it was a class gathering of sorts, but the only classmate out of the girls there was xuerong. still it was very enjoyable, the chitchat and korean f4. after which the 3 of us went for drinks at clarke quay and then macs for supper. reached home at 2.30 on a cab.
sunday – junjie, ernest and i celebrated hazel and jijo’s 19th with dinner at MOF, then dessert at Changing Appetites, then long chitchat by the kerb of somewhere in cityhall, then supposedly home. but suddenly decided to go for drinks at chijmes so we did. and hazel and i felt hungry so we headed to macs for supper. reached home at 3.30 on a cab.
monday – met hazel for SUSHI BUFFET dinner at raffles place. thanks to his cravings. but i enjoyed it la thankfully. then we very gaily went to watch Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. it was a damn nice show, part touching part funny. and for the uninitiated, no it’s not a horror! it was so romantic it was hilarious during the final kissing scene i turned to look at hazel and he nearly died from the sheer gaiety of it all; as well as the fact that practically everybody inside were (boy-girl) couples.
TODAY! – for lack of a better euphemism, i Rested and Recuperated at home, but till now i am Still Very Bored.
But i know i wouldn’t get to feel like this again in a very very very very long time. Oh army, how i wish you didn’t exist.
I love my sergeants!!!
iskandar and jeremiah and chinhua and bryan!!! <3333333
and also suba and wilson our pc and apc! <3333
today during pop i finally felt some sort of attachment to the company, to the platoon, to the section.
too bad we’re all leaving already…
the feeling when we were all taking photos and the final goodbyes to our sirs and sgts, and the handshakes with the sirs i never thought recognised me, was indeed damn unforgettable, and very special. i secretly felt very emotional.
Route march was killer for me, and highly embarrassing haha lots and lots of thanks to the ppl around me and esp sgts iskandar and jeremiah <33333
Okay, bmt is over!!!
Sentosa on thurs with the section!!!
2 more days to POP
and my 12 days of block leave (which i’m not looking that forward to because the start of it will mean the end of it soon)
personally i don’t think i’ve done well enough to go to ocs or what, but at this point of time i don’t really mind anything. just wanna get the remaining 1.5 years or so over and done with.
the prime of these 2 weeks are the weekends, of course. last week i met Qinsheng on fri night after sdc, then Nick followed by Hazel and Jijo on saturday, the latter 2 our first meetup since enlistment. this week i met Kheexuan, Woankeng, Junshyang, Junjie and Shiwei (For The First Time Since Enlistment too) for lunch and tauhuay. left around evening and went to meet the section mates for arcade and dinner and saboteur which (the other) Shiwei bought and brought. also bought presents for our platoon commanders to surprise them. haha. initially didn’t want to meet them because i see them 24/7 a week. but it turned out to be quite fun la, haha. today noon also met up with Calvin Qinsheng and Yuxuan (For The First Time Since Enlistment too). Complained like hell about my bmt experience in Whiskey the new Wtf coy. but anyway, had a lot of fun and laughter i really miss all my old bestfriends tremendously. none of the army mates can compare, seriously; even the closer section mates like kaiming and muz and lester. really treasure every second of my time out of camp now, ugh.
my first late bookin since my first week, 9 pm tonight. so i’m grateful for that. every millisecond counts man. time alone at home is very precious too.
goodbye people.
