.it has been.
it has been a week since i last blogged.
it has been more than 2 weeks since i last returned from Bangkok.
it has been more than 3 weeks since i ORD.
it has been more than 2 years 2 months since i first entered the army.
it has been more than 2 years 8 months since i last sat for my A levels.
To conclude, everything just fled past so quickly.
I hate that fact.
Very soon, I will be heading to University.
Very soon, I will be inviting stress like nobody's business
Very soon, I will be studying like a NERD.
I just can't imagine how terrible my life is gonna be.
To think I was yearning so much that I can get out of the gruesome army and get into University like my girl-friends when I was still a recruit. :P
I just love to contradict myself.
I ALWAYS end up contradicting myself.
I need more spices in my life.
NOT stress or peer pressure.
I have been getting too much dose of peer pressure recently.
I can't even tell what EXACTLY do i want or think now.
I am confused.

.army.
had a pretty pleasant surprise when my BMT mate added me in MSN today.
We started chatting and reminiscing about our BMT days..
Somehow surprisingly, i really relish the pleasant moments I had in my army days.
I miss field camps. I miss that table placed at the centre of our bunk where my BMT mates and I used to gather to talk crap. I miss polishing my boots and still ended up getting pumped for UNSATISFACTORY boots condition. (^#@(*()
I miss marching around the parade square singing army songs.. and getting screwed for smiling in a file... I miss stripping parties and the BMT toilets.
I also miss the days when I struggled so hard to pass IPPT so that I can book out during weekends.
I miss the loss of freedom.. because I really cherished my days then.
I miss those days when I was the armskote IC and shouting out commands just isn't my forte and I ended up screaming like a duck.
I miss those days when I just cant wait to ORD.
Somehow, I just miss my army life.
So many stuff to remincise about.
I used to dread field camps A LOT.
I hate eating combat rations, surviving without bath for a FEW days, and sleeping on uneven HARD GROUND. I still remembered I once slept on a surface with thick trunks sticking out! grr. so darn miserable.
I recalled sneaking out to one ulu part of the jungle so that I can cook my maggi mee.. and the terrible feeling of trying to stay awake during mission time and dreadful lectures.
AND not to forget weekend guard duties with one of my camp mate and we ended up sleeping at one corner because we were really TOO tired.
ARGH. I really miss army!
The fact that I get to learn so much from it.
How to be a real man.. how to cherish freedom... and how important staying fit is.
No wonder people say memories of your army life will never fade....

.Bangkok.
was back from Bangkok 4 days ago.
exciting. interesting. enjoyable. god-damn hot and humid. laugh a lot. bad weather. hilarious. joyous. sexy. broke.
i apologise for the limited vocabulary used. i am just too tired to think of better words.
somemore, the Trojan in my computer is greatly affecting my mood to write a full-scale detailed blog entry.
You cant imagine how slow and laggy my computer is now.
I can't even upload pictures for the time being.
However, I WILL update more about the Bangkok trip.
Too memorable to just include such minor details...

.happy June.
Tell you guys why I am pretty satisfied with June so far:-
1. I ORDed on the 1st June 2005.
2. I finally received the verdict letter of my traffic offence appeal on 1st June( travelling on bus lane, $130, 4 pts ) , which indicated my fines WAIVED!!
3. I had a pretty busy and fulfilling week so far.
4. My tuition kid was EXCEPTIONALLY obedient and intelligent on 1st June 2005.
5. I actually got SELECTED for the SWIMMING COACH course!! WOHOO. So delighted. Nobody could have imagined the trauma of waiting for the results.. full of uncertainty and desperation. Ha. Sounds exaggerated but.. I wanted it SO BADLY. There were about 100 candidates , and they narrowed down ONLY to the top 40s, and competition is REALLY tough. I am SO elated and thrilled. VERY. I am so proud of myself this time.
At least there is something to keep me occupied for the next 2 months.
6. I am going BK later!
Ok. nuff said.
More happy entries about my bangkok trip when I am back.
I hope.

.bangkok.
i am looking forward to my bangkok trip this SAT.
Hopefully, it will be as good as i expect it to be.
I am really anxious over the Skill Test tomorrow.
It's a qualifying test to determine whether i will be qualified for the coaching course.
I am not really confident about it actually.
If I am not qualified, I will definitely need to get a job, and I really loathe the idea of wasting your time working during these 2 months, unless you are desperate for money...
I do not wanna get booted out!
I wanna teach children to swim.
The sense of fulfillment. The achievement.. and its definitely easier and more efficient than teaching tuition.
At least most kids love the water... more than their irksome books.
I wanna be a swimming coach!!
If I am not qualified tomorrow, I will be EXTREMELY disappointed.
So..
DON'T boot me please.

.ORD.
finally, I have ORDed.
Come to think of it, ORD is no big deal. AT ALL. Its just to mark the beginning of a new phase of life.
So far, army has been a good experience for me. Army has indeed transformed me to a better person i hope.
I can't blog anymore.
The trojan in my computer is acting again.
It is SLOWING DOWN my computer real big time. Despite arduous efforts trying to remove it, it still doesn't go off. grr.
Damn pissed off.
Really.
