Some thoughts and happenings

Time for an update!

Caught up with trio last week and we watched Hairspray!!! As in the movie musical. It's super cool can. So vintage, so retro, so the kind of style I like. The songs were good too. Lol. We were so excited that we talked so loud during the start of the movie that a guy sitting in front of us turned back and said "Excuse me, we're watching a movie." Hahaha that sounds so lame. Of course I know he's watching a movie. I wanted to say "Duh. We too." Hahaha. Couldn't be bothered cos we were really on cloud nine that day. It's been such a long while since I unleashed the eccentric part of me. And I guess not many can see that. Haha.

So anyway, things inside camp are going a bit easy for me. Cos right now I'm on some sort of status that allows me to excuse myself from trainings and what not. Come to think of it, I already covered most of what was expected. Yeah, I got gold for IPPT, passed my SOC, went for numerous outfield trainings. So I guess it's a time for me to take a break. Not that I really want to. I don't have any qualms 'chiong-ing' for the next 5 months, or less. But I guess I'm advised not to. Perhaps the only disappointing thing is that I'm not going to India, which I should have. Oh well, at least I have done my part all this while as a gunner, I hope.

You know, sometimes I really think that there are both sides to me. As in character wise. I'm quite an extremist in the sense that I can be totally quiet at one hand and be extremely noisy and hyped up on the other. I guess I tune myself according to the environment. Back in camp, people normally think I'm a reserved and soft-spoken guy. That's why I really cherish my book out times. They are the times where I can feel free to be who I want to be.

Well, of course, I have to start to do some serious planning of what I want to study soon. I'm thinking of taking up Communication studies at SIM. Wonder if it's a good choice. Been thinking through for quite long. Any advice out there as to what course suits me? Lol. I feel so lost when I heard my old friends talking about campus life. It's like I'm stuck in the evergreen world of army, so green that other colours have been blocked out. So, I want to rediscover the colours out there and paint a whole new picture!

As for my dearie, I appreciate what you've done for me, being silly at times as to taking all the hassle to come find me by taking additional train trips just to see me. Don't worry. Though I may not be the perfect boyfriend, and that I'm probably a newbie when it comes to BGR, I will still learn along the way to better myself and to learn to take good care of you. It's about giving and taking, isn't it? Thanks for the 'employment letter'. It's just so cute and heartfelt. Happy 3 months and still going strong baby! =)

The weekend awaits. I'll spend it wisely, I hope.

Enticed.

Hey yo. Back again yo.

Hmm, let's see. It's been a rocky day for me today. Had a little tiff with her. Actually I think this kind of thing is part and parcel of a relationship? Lol. I mean I'm having a first hand experience. So yeah, perhaps it's a challenge I must overcome, be it how many times I'm posed with. But I'm glad it's all sorted out for now.

Ok, so let's see. It's a Saturday and I couldn't stand spending my Saturdays at home. I mean, hello, it's a Saturday!!! A prime day of the week. Of course it should be spent eventfully and wisely. Sad to say, army has deprived me of making much eventful moments out of my bookout times. I wish I could have more time to do more things.

It's funny. I met up with my clique of secondary school good friends a few days back. I found myself lost in their conversations. I mean, I find it hard to blend in. They seem to know so a lot of stuff that I don't know. I felt like so offbeat about what's going on. Especially campus life which I haven't stepped into yet. Seems intriguing. I admit I feel a bit left out and neglected cos I can't really connect to what they were talking about.

But it's ok. If there's something I have learnt since army, it is to not compare myself with others. It's like running. You run your own pace. And you can still make it. If you believe you can. =)

Haha ok. I was carried away. I am supposed to blog about what happened today yea? So yea, I drove my younger sis to town. I wanted to go out to have a walk. You know, just look around. Then we decided to dine at this Japanese restaurant at Taka. The restaurant's called Aji Tei I think. The food's there are really damn nice. And I'm saying this even when I'm not a fan of Japanese cuisine. The desserts were especially tasty. My sis actually teared while eating, just because the dessert was super good. Yeah, it's that exaggerating but I'm not kidding. Here are some pics...

While in the car... some wacky photo-takings..

This is not the full package that we ordered. I just couldn't wait to take a pic of the food. They are absolutely cheesy(literally) and sumptuous!

Sipping on the green tea the sexy way.. lol.

My sis enjoying her meal.. haha.

The desserts we ordered. DAMN NICE.

A close-up shot of the dessert I ate..

Oh well, looks like I have one more nice gourmet place to add to my favourite food hunt list. Wahaha. Now you know why I enjoy my bookout times.

And always remember, a hungry man is an angry man. =P

Hello! I'm back to blog! Sorry if I haven't been updating for a while. You know, sometimes laziness creeps in. And of course, a good excuse will be I'm busy, which I was rather I guess.

Oh, anyway, here's a glimpse of what happened in camp recently. Please watch the VCR. LOL.

VCR plays...

Ran 15km last Friday at MacRitchie Reservoir.
Ran 15km outcamp run on the following Tuesday.
Total: 30km conquered in 5 days!!!

End of VCR.

Hahaha...

Actually that was supposed to be AHM training. Yeah, then I realised I have guard duty on 25th Aug which is a Sat!! The AHM is Sunday. So I won't be taking part. Oh shucks, there goes another medal. But the bad news is I still need to continue with the trainings. Next Friday 18km run at East Coast Park. Hohoho.

Oh, and outfield exercise next week. "Great".

Anyway, I guess I'm picking up pretty well, as in my mood and everything. Trying hard to control my complictating thoughts.

But it's ok. I'm happy for now.

Cos I have her with me.

Dear, thanks for spending the night with me.
Feels great to hold you in my arms.
And cradle you to sleep.
Though I think I fell asleep first. Lol. =P

And one of my dreams came true.
To wake up and find your loved one right beside you. =)
