I got 2 rejection letters from NUS and NTU as expected. How would a GPA of 3.15/4 ever get me into uni. CRAP. My dad sat me down to talk about the future. Being the normal NiCK, i wasn't really interested in what he had to say, not because of what he wanted to voice out but more of a blocking out of my dad.
Anyhow, he mentioned how some of his friends went to take medicine despite having major financial difficulties. Slogging your body thin for 10 yrs definitely is better than suffering for the rest of life.
I feel i'm not able to decide what to choose, i am only a short-sighted person.

Going field camp again soon. Aiya troublesome. Back to shooting imaginary enemies and imitating earthworm in the mud.
Say your friend who is around 20 ask why the security guys in changi airport are all so young, its cuz people like me have to stand at changi airport and let the ang mohs feel safe. Pui!
i think i will do some social work after ORD. Time to contribute to society

Square Root of Three
I’m sure that I will always be A lonely number like root three
The three is all that’s good and right, Why must my three keep out of sight Beneath the vicious square root sign, I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick, with just some quick arithmetic
I know I’ll never see the sun, as 1.7321 Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see, Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by, Together now we multiply To form a number we prefer, Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued Your love for me has been renewed

The redPSP is getting boring already: the games don't satisfy my gaming rage. The games are quite the same as those on PC except with less buttons. But i must say, it really is a very good invention, so many things in 1.
Unlike the NDS.
I completed easy mode of God of war.

Met my Clarinet section mates just now for dinner. Ate some unfresh seafood platter @ new york new york. Bad ambiance, seemingly fillipino + gay waiter.
Talked and laughed at old times. All this reminded me of the old times under a previous tyrant. Started me thinking why despite the similarities in the tyrants of my life, how i was able to enjoy last time yet am unable to find joy in what i do nowadays.
Maybe it comes with age, maybe its just a Singaporean trait - COMPLAINING about everything good and/or bad-, or simply I have become increasingly corrupt and evil. Looking from a bird's eye view, I've lost my childish optimism and even question myself whenever i try to convince myself that i am not in the worst situation.
Guarding Singapore's chemical island seems torturing, 12 hours straight of duty all seem impossible. Especially since the big boss sits in the office room with harry potter and hermione granger. Even more annoying, the boss' immediate subordinate talks about how nice harry potter is when we small fry are all sweaty.
Would you rather tell your son about harry potter or about the nights you were at risk of meeting a terrorist?

Yay! BLOCK LEAVE.
Learnt that my big boss will be leaving in november instead of june or july. SHIT.
He's so into fats, talks about it all the time. See, we took our weight and height after 1 month of barely any exercise. Most of us lost weight. Except 1 guy, his small intestines(probably the size of my large intestines) work OT everyday.
So the boss said to us, "YOU MUST BE LOSING MUSCLE MASS". BOSS CAN WE SCRATCH YOUR NEW CAR?
Would you give away a toy to another friend who needs it more than you, but most likely destroy it?

Example of a stupid New year resolution:
1. ORD now, get army over with, never ever see my OC(the big boss who fools around in the office) again.
2. Drive my lambo into camp and park it in my OC's parking lot. Then leave it there for the nxt 2 years.
3. Get a driving license before number 2 happens.
4. Afford to buy a lambo before getting a license
5. Afford the chauffeur for my lambo till i get my license
6. Afford to change chauffeur if he sucks as a driver(i bet loads of lunatics will want to be my driver....lambo leh! not some lexus toycar)

Finally, a long break from army. One of the lucky few from my batch to get to clear leave. SAF is a famous organisation, and a considerably corporate one(army camp got bangala come in and run around in our bunk sia!), especially when coming to eating up leave due to "important, protect the country" secretive training.
Bossy Boss: You want take leave ah? Can lor, if got no training. Dude getting bossed around: Orh. Sounds reasonable hor. When got no training ah? Bossy Boss: Unfortunately, we will be having mobilization exercise for the next few months leh, after that no problem!
-- After "mobilization exercise"-- Dude getting bossed around: Sir, i can go home today? exercise finish liao Bossy Boss: Cannot, must do physical training to make up for the 10 months no running, chin up. Dude: But i get gold for napfa leh! Boss: But your brothers in bunk never get, so must do with them wat.
Anyhow, I guess i'm one of the few fortunate people from my batch getting to clear leave. I'm like only a trainee AKA lowest life-form on the hierarchy. So much depends on the boss. Suddenly, it feels as if staying back all those extra Saturdays doing close to nothing seems ok.
Its important to treasure. Learning to accept reality - military and civilian life ... so much different, close to nothing in common - that was my initial challenge. 6 months of chiongswa(running around in the sun carrying trash that destroys and leaves nothing in the path) seems challenging.
Army is a waste of time, that i agree. Uncreative people(basically everybody in saf) say that army teaches values like endurance and stuff you don't learn outside. Yeah, i learnt many things such as vulgarities, shouting and venting anger before thinking.
