ok it has been a long long time since the last update, but there wasnt much to be written anyway. most of my close friends have already left the country, so its a whole series goodbyes the past couples of week. saddening i guess and i wld miss them but i guess that's the way of life.

Army's been the usual. nothing spectacular, nothing out of the ordinary. except i received news that i would be going to australia at the end of oct. so that's pretty cool. other than that, i have begun playing different kinds of boardgames haha - games i have never played before not because they are anything out of the ordinary, but really because of my somewhat deprived childhood as far as these games are concerned haha. AND i have begun playing badminton. but as like all other sports that i have tried my hand at, i suck at it too haha.

has it ever occured to you that everytime someone asks you how army is, or if you are a girl, when you ask how army is, the reply would go along the lines of "ok lor", "the usual". it's unlikely that anyone would go into the details of what they have been doing, what secrets they have been exposed to. of course the army big guns would be relieved to hear that. but what does this tell us? that we no longer are capable of describing what we go through because we have been desensitized? Or that we have become trained into believing that no one is interested to listen to what we have to say anyway? Or is it simply because when you go through the motions you are unlikely to remember a thing? ah yes just a random observation that kang made yesterday when he asked me how's life and i replied - the usual haha.

you know, sometimes i miss the days where i would be running around the school compounds busy contacting individuals to come up with a school event. or looking forward to upcoming plays/concerts where i would be spotting my friends. hmmm. i miss school. or rather the kind of things a school provide.

i think this countdown application on facebook is pretty cool. i have 407 days to ord. haha.

thank you very much 5111 (though i wish you could identify yourself in a more -identifiable- manner) for that most entertaining, informative piece of information in the most recent entry. had wanted to read that email for sometime, cept that i was too lazy to actually search for it haha.

i was actually kinda surprised to read that email and find myself being able to agree with him on many points. surprised because being the judgemental person that i am, i had thought that the writer was an euf. you know, officer, powerful person's son and all. heck care about the men, etc. but he was spot-on on many issues that he raised and perhaps the decision to punish him in jumping the chain of command rule was a little regrettable, no matter how lenient it is. not that rules should be bent for individuals, dependent on background, but perhaps such rules are a tad unnecessary.

ok nothing's up with my life actually, ok perhaps i ran ahm. kinda walking a couple of km really. 21km never felt this long before - ok partly cos i ended up injured halfway. and as J puts it, "i have never explored singapore in this way before". got a finisher medal too! and haha so cool i have never ever gotten a medal remotely related to sports - finisher or position wise haha. though ok lah finished worse than expected. yes thanks snee for your support haha.

and got my soldier of the month award too haha how cool. though august has alr ended so i can no longer cut queue at the cookhouse.

and finally i just got a sony cybershot how cool is that haha
