met up with weiyuan, ryan, keegan, chenjie, jeremy, matthew and jlo (the latter two are juniors whom i'm not very familiar with haha) for lunch at takashimaya breeks, shared a mass attack, or whatever the big bowl of ice and cream is called. cheat one lor, that thing is mostly blended crushed ice and cream with some sort of extra flavouring in it. anyway, it was supposed to be a farewell of sorts for chenjie (sigh). i think i'll miss him in time to come.
in other news, i got wind of some spoilers for HP7 thanks to weiyuan :) ah, can't wait to read the book!
in other more important matters, i'm very apprehensive about the trip, so much that i'm really stressed out. i have no suitable bag at home to use as hand carried lugguage (trolley bags are either too small or too big and very unwieldly, schoolbag-type bags are too small ARGH) and now i'm resigned to a trolley bag which threatens to break the strict regulations for size and weight. don't ask me how am i going to board the plane without the trolley bag (last minute shopping for a bag??) ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH! i can imagine my instructors commenting about my 'kiasu-ness' with the bag size and type...
ok i'll take a nap before i taxi there. wish me luck.

i am so fat, that when i jump for joy...
coolest thing: I PASSED SOC! thanks to a very encouraging sergeant who literally did more than 'walk' the talk haha :)
next obstacles are just the ROC trip and my IPPT (i want the C** badge gah!!!) my legs goyak already, if not, can get silver.
came back from a fatty but not very fulfilling meal @ swensens which cost $27 with my BSLC sectionmates. i had to eat a midnight mcdonald's supper, consisting of a double cheeseburger and a small coke ($3 in total!), to satisfy my palate. man, am i indulgent!
ok, so late, must sleep. tomorrow still got outing sia! oops should be spending more time with family gah. but tomorrow's outing is very very important... updates coming soon

another round of rambling, be prepared.
yesterday was a good day, spent time with parents and went out to watch OOTP. not a fantastic rendition, maybe it's because there is zero rising action - there isn't quite a moment where the pacing of the movie is slowed down. quite sad that most of the characters are whittled down to cameos (would like to see more of the professors), though i guess it's essential that it is done. the film is obviously targeted at people who have read the book; there isn't much explanation about the ongoings weaved into the dialogue. and i think a lot of information of secondary importance (but still quite important) got left out. overall rating: 3.2/5 (the extra .2 because its harry potter)
today was a rather sucky day, not just because tuesday is looming. first i tried to resist the temptations of junk/extra food millions of times, and finally the floodgates of my stomach and wallet burst (what's new). second, i spent a lot of time ambling about home aimlessly. practised basic drawing of straight lines and round shapes, poked the piano for less than 5 minutes, sat down in front of the computer for goodness knows how long, had a glimpse of the TV (saw a few moments of kids central, channel 8 and ellen degeneres in bed?!). third, my resolve to exercise on this gloriously sunny and supposedly happy day dissolved into nothingness. fourth, i explored a certain someone's blog - i hope he/she never finds out, i'm quite sure it'll never happen anyway - and i think reading his/her posts affected my mood. how i wish i could change him/her, turn him/her around 180 degrees and revamp his/her life. argh.
i am a lump of fat, the weighing scale with techno electrodes that are supposed to measure your bone/fat/water mass, among other things, can testify. we'll see if i can pass SOC. shit, confirm cannot one, and i'll be sad and embarrassed again, the cycle repeats, blahblahblah. maybe i won't be able to earn my 3stripes, what an entertaining thought. i'll probably attempt to downgrade before that happens to make myself feel better. failure sucks, and i don't want it. who would anyway heh.
calculations of my finances revealed i spent S$1845.96 the whole of this year so far, which is more than half my salary (which includes my forwarded august pay)!? my gosh, if i were a rifleman i would have spent away all of my allowance! don't ask me how i manage to spend S$300 a month. you'll be surprised how all the little expenditures add up, and, can you fathom this, i could have cut my spending by half if i just stopped snacking and going out for things altogether.
looks like my life is pared down to basic survival. thoughts of money, health, career (if you consider being an NSF as an occupation, actually it's not but never mind that), family. not quite in the mood for friendly gatherings or meetings, i like to be alone or with one or two other friends in a quiet setting. oh, just give me assurance i'll successfully complete anything that comes in army, and i think my life will brighten up.
no, seriously, what you've read is really about 90% of what goes through in my brain. of course i could have elaborated more about my weekday happenings, but they are more temporal and my memory and senses have numbed since ages, hence a plain ol' me. i really wonder how long it will take for me to (re?)open up to close and chummy relationships, platonic or otherwise.
i like my blog white now, it's quieter and cleaner :)

this was a most horrible week for me >:( field camp was uber-pissing because of impatient and untactful twits, also i was an appointment holder for the brunt of the camp, which just made things worse la. think the peer apprasials for me is going to be seriously screwed up this time (fyi i got good peer reviews for bmt and bslc). heck, not like i'm considering to make many, if at all, good friends out of my present platoon mates >:@ to top it all off, we got confined last night and had our long weekend cut by effectively 1.5 days (i just booked out), and all because of a few irresponsible persons.
on a different note, my OC is seriously wonderful. how i wish i could pass my SOC for him. well my passing of SOC is probably insignificant to him la, but i can't quite think how else to show my gratitude. thank goodness i have him as OC...

joke
probably the wittiest thing i said the whole of this week and last week:
"the length of a SAR 21 [edit: or any rifle for that matter] depends on how tight you screw the muzzle"
that came as a rare spontaneous flash from a chasm in my mind. and as all of you know, i'm a boring person who doesn't make many intelligent comments, if at all, right? :P
more about intelligent (read: smart aleck-ish) comments. i found out that the blogger, who was at one period of time infamous for a particular post which created a large public furore, was accepted into yale university for the same reasons :) you go, girl!
anyways, i need emotional support to push me through the last two legs of aslc BAH. you are probably lucky you aren't in my section, else you would hear me rant everyday :\ and speaking of two legs, i need two new and stronger legs to pass SOC. no, arms too!
my life revolves around army while my peers' lives revolve around the likes of friendster, facebook and myspace. shit, i've been forced to listen to stupid ditties like 'tokyo drift' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p07GQhBdIPQ and other euro technotrash, oops i mean eurodance, through a bunkmate's speakers that the tunes involuntarily surface in my mind all the time! GAH!!!
back to the previous topic, though. a(n) (in)sincere apology for not taking the time to respond to any stimuli directed towards me via the abovementioned electronic portals :P am too lazy to update anything online but my blog posts. hell, why am i spending so much time online?
i miss: RJC people youknowwhoyouare, BSLC sectionmates (screw shaun for leaving me alone), AND family (whenever i'm not at home)
