sing till the cows come home.

Block leave day 5 of 12 - fatigue

Kboxed for clarence's 21st. Sang till (near) fulfillment. The member package was a good deal. We ended up paying only $14 for 5 hours of singing - a steal I would say.

Well singing (or belching) was in a way a good form of pressure relief. But 2 consecutive days of unfulfilled martell promises is bad. Now I dream Martell.

7 days left of my last 2009 break. I hope I make good use of it.

Block leave day 4 of 12 - Half-heartedness.

Been arnd with 3 groups of friends today, but i would say the time we spent sucked. I feel I wasted the day.

Suddenly 23rd doesn't seem to far away after all. i MUST make something out of my longest break in NS.

Everyday I love my phone even more. plusone for my iPhone.

Its strange how its so easy to help someone pick him/herself up but its so hard to practice what you preach.

Its funny how human beings refuse to learn until they have fallen.

Its interesting to see people in love.

Hello world.

Block leave day 2 of 12 - Recovery.

Picking up the pieces from a very messy week. Lots more work awaits to be done but its a good start. See, you gotta choose the right companies and the right activity. Today I learnt that money can't buy happiness.

Trying to reconnect to a world I grew astranger to. It's funny how you once thought it was your world but when you leave and come back, u find yourself hard to fit in. The lingo, the topics, the jokes; I think I need some getting use to.

Sometimes its good to be dissatisfied, but be careful for it not to turn into greed.

POP lo.

Block leave day 1 of 12 - bad day.

Did a survey, damn its darn true.

Your view on yourself:

You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.

How do you view success:

You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.

What are you most afraid of:

You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self:

You like privacy very much because you enjoy spending time with your own thoughts. You like to disappear when you cannot find solutions to your own problems, but you would feel better if you learned to share your thoughts with a person you trust.

Army? What Army?

My first post after what seems like eternity. Sorry to all (if any) who still checks back here. Well, you see, in a week of 7, the army takes 6 and leaves you with half, with the other half wasted on stupid things like getting home from a remote island. So half a day isnt actually alot for you to accomplish alot of things. Blogging will definitely not be a priority. But since A's results are tommorow, i should probably put a record to today before anything changes.

Time spares no man, Im now 4 days to POP. 13 weeks whizzed passed just like that. I lost 3 kgs, some brain cells and a bit of hair, but gained some muscles, made some friends and acquired some social skills.

Accomplished some goals, made some achievements; but the greatest achievement comes in overcoming yourself. When you pushed on though your physical self refuses to budge, when you made the right choices even though its not the choice you want to make, when you fought on though circumstances proved impossible, when u strived on even though you were the last man standing; that's what sets you apart.

I dare say that the amount of military knowledge I acquired is minimal, but the lessons I learnt from communal living and interaction are boundless.

Became more patient and peace-loving, more acceptable of people different from me, and learnt to be humble to the unhumbled. It's no wonder people say BMT is the most memorable part of NS; it is your last chalet. Here's to a greater regimental year ahead.
