confinement sucks confinement sucks. but it's ok i have paid my dues so now i have my sundays back.

this year's ndp is pretty sleek in my opinion, something different, and somewhat made more interesting by the waterfront - and how they use the water to create a more creative display of the a r m y's capabilities. what i like most, is without a doubt the fireworks right at the end, which is damn nice, although it could just be that i am watching it live and hence they seem so much prettier than those on tv.

having been pushed around from one holding area to another, and eventually to marina promenade, i find it a really good place to emo, to think and ponder about the meaning of life and your future and bring your other half. i like that place. i mean after you take away the anger off them for pushing you around and making it seem like they dont have room for you and hence throw you to a corner of the holding areas, without chairs, and a proper shelter (i was later told the shelter is actually in the form of sheares bridge over our head), you realise that place is actually qte scenic and quiet, great place to relax or even have your dinner (which i did).

the reason why ppl prefer saturdays off rather than off in lieus on weekdays, is because no one seems free on weekdays. but hurrah zul & ays are free 2mr.

haha i find this rather amusing, of what i just heard about s d u sponsoring l a w camp.

2day is an off day and any off day is a good day.

i am officially a bobo shooter. and confinements are a bloody waste of time and so do not make sense to me. i wouldnt have minded but the person in the office doesnt like making new friends and prefers to sleep. which is fine with me.

shrek 3 was ok. not very spectacular and in a way rather forgettable, but ok for 7 bucks and good for laughs i suppose. and entertainment (: and the company was great as usual.

my favourite quote of the week: "at least you call us gentlemen. he calls us f***ing hell"

bk to camp in er ... ok soon.

i swear the army intends to ruin my already-almost-non-existent social life by making me stay in on SUNDAYS. TWO SUNDAYS.

for some mistake that i have -apparently- committed.

ndp duty again 2mr. and i find it extremely funny how we were asked to stop serving at the vip lounge cos we are not supposed to be servants, only to serve. haha.

i am not making sense am i?

so everytime something ends, you look forward to a new beginning; a hope that things get better, things you have hated doing will cease to exist.

yet my platoon is not very hopeful. although helping out in ndp seems to us to be a good break. however much it is sk to the max.

it is really the lesser of the 2 evils. aint something you necessarily enjoy doing, but in a way it is a good break from facing the ugly looking buildings and regimentation. OK honestly, i am only complaining because of the long hours on a glorious SATURDAY. BUT serving people and being a waiter to the bigwigs of the a r m y can actually be quite fun, given how we have free flow of the food there and i have mastered the art of using the espresso machine haha. and we actually have off in lieus. and i work at an air-conditioned place. only on saturdays. haha.

i think i am going to get fat. and cannot do chinups next tuesday when i get back to camp.

talking about being fat, my fat percentage is 8.1%! hahas. ok random.

i have also learnt that s a f bigwigs are caffeine addicts.

ok so it will be ndp 3 times a week till this whole thing ends. and i have finally passed out of course successfully (:, so my pay will be upped! hurrah hurrah.

ok sentio is fine. though republic poly is like at the corner of this country and cab fares r not cheap. i am however quite amused by the emo dances the alumni put up. well i shouldnt be. but i am. but yea it was rather -emotional-.

it's another week till i pass out of course. and next week is going to be a long and tiring week with exercise cf coming up. i hope i hope i hope i wont be activated. under the scrutiny of the lao jiaos, it's going to be nerve-wrecking.

i wonder how post-course is going to be like. will it be pure bliss? or will a leopard not change its spots? will we continue to be tekaned like we have been thus far?

enough. all that is confirmed is that i am going to burn most of my saturdays being a -waiter- at ndp rehearsals.

ok s m u gave me law, which i suppose is a kind of assurance at the very least, to know that they saw something in me, enough to want to give me law after many many people rejected it. but yet again, it could be luck. just luck. like many other things that have happened to me.

and haha i got facebook after many requests to do so. i still dont see how it appeals to people, and how it is as fantastic as some people tout it to be, but maybe after a couple of weeks, i will be able to tell.

rightos. there has been a hoo-ha over the lack of spaces in universities, and for the past couple of weeks the spotlight has been on the tertiary scene of singapore. in a way, i m just lucky i got grades good enough to get me into 'my university of choice'. in a way at least. but convenient and coincidental isnt it - every time when the 'dragon batch' goes through something major - posting, exams etc, the whole idea of this dragon baby boom seems such a convenient excuse and reason for anything. perhaps 10 years down the road, u get complaints that there arent enough hotels or restaurants. because most of the dragon batch is getting married. and the top hotels have all been booked.
