Week 4 going to week 5.. lol

I must say, that this has ben the first time that I've gotten bored enough to actually come back to blogging again.

I don't know if this is a good sign or not, but maybe its justthat i want to write down something so that i can just get things off my mind.

Yesterday, I just came back from camp and stuff... Was a hectic week where we had like 2 trips into heavily wooded places to look for some obsure locations... [I know. sounds really confusing.] Then we had fun running towards walls and up logs of wood.... [[LOL.. The way i describe it makes it sound less painful. I know..]]

On thursday night, I had a little surprise from my section mates, whom said that i was given a chance to lead the whole platoon. I shall not put the name of the appoinment here, lest i get myself in trouble.

Anyways, thus i spent the whole of friday having to lead the whole group of them, and hoping to get them to work with me.. Well, fortunately for me, they were all very cooperative [to a large extent]... There were some small mistakes which I did, but for a large part, I have learnt from them....

Well.. So much for Friday....

Yesterday, I had to stay back in camp for training... ah well..
After that, I came back home to get some stuff done.. As i had screwed up my handphone, my parents decided that I should go out and meet them.. And at the same time we could have lunch together.

I had some stuff to do, so i just had to get my stuff packed, then left to meet my parents.
We had a meal together, along with some of my parents colleagues, then I had to meet my friend, thus I just took off after the wonderful lunch.

Basically, once we met up, we played a few games of MTG.. Lol. He had this what i would term as "fail deck" in which there was not a single creature in it. Just either instants or sorceries. I just used my overrun deck, and poof. nothing happened.

As for right now, Im just like sitting down in front of my laptop, trying to recall back what has been going on for the past week, and hoping that I would just be able to get my thoughts off my mind...

However, for as long as I have known myself, I never had been able to actually still myself before. Perhaps I should start to learn to still myself. I really should.

Peace out.

NS Times-- Posting Results

Lol. This has got to be the first post I've had in since... forever.

Well, I'll keep it short. I've found out my posting today outside, and let's just say that i really wished that i didnt have to go to see it.

Ah well, I've had no choice but to go and see it. I have to know where to report, since after all, it's the army...

Thus, without further ado, here is my posting:

Posting result: SISPEC.

Yes. SISPEC. I feel like amazed and surprised, to say the least.

Frankly, I didn't do well in BMTC at all, as in like, I only scraped through everything, barely passing most of the things, and well...

The worst was, I never passed SOC before. Ever. I never ever passed SOC before. It's just the most amazing thing ever that I would even be considered to go in. I hate SOC.

Ah well.... SISPEC.
All the best for me, that's what they say. All the best...

I hope that everything can go well.

I must say tho, one thing that I've realised. is that there are all kinds of people in the society out there...

I'm going in with a positive attitude as best as possible.

Ok. Peace out.

A day of meeting up and relaxing.

To start this post, I'll just need to give some background...
Last night, when I reached home, my father told me that I had to stay at home to take care of my grandmother and aunt..

The reason? They were going to leave for a meeting overseas for the weekends, and thus, needed me to stay at home to take care of my grandmother..
I was a bit shocked, but then accepted it quickly, as i knew it was their job and stuff..

In the meantime, I actually had already made plans to meet up with another friend of mine, who's currently in the Army... [Long story]

Anyways, after hearing the news, I called him, and he told me that he would be able to change plans and thus... He decided to come to my house to meet me...

So, this starts the main gist of this post....

This morning, I woke up at about 9 plus to get ready and stuff, and at around 10, I got a msg from him saying that he would be late. So, I just went and like got some stuff to eat...

At 10:45 plus, he reached my house, and I welcomed him in...

He came in, and we first had like a short chat in my living room, before we got to my very messy room... We sat on my bed, and I told him about my concerns about enlisting and stuff, my worries and all that, and he in turn, told me about some of his experiences...

Also, of course, he brought his MTG decks out, and we had some time to play test his black control deck, and blue Whizzie decks.. [[LOL Whizzie deck LOL]]

So, then, after a while, he also took some time to show me how to play Generals properly... as I had it like installed in my laptop... It was exremely fun to see how it actually worked, and I learnt and interesting thing known as kiting... LOL

After quite a while of talking and playing, I was feeling a bit hungry, and lucky for me, my Aunt arrived at about 1pm plus... So I was able to leave home with my friend to eat...

So, we just left my home, and headed towards this Coronation Plaza to withdraw some cash...Following that, we went over to the nearby Thai noodles restaurant, and I tried a dish called Pad Thai... It's quite nice...With it's sauce, and the peanut powder at the side.. I reccommend it...

After the meal, we went over to another shopping centre in the area, and we went over to a card shop there to get some cards... MTG, as usual.

We both got a M.Tide, and S.Moor booster each [[Tho I freaking felt that maybe I should have not gotten like both...lol... nvm about that...]]

So, after another while of dilly-dallying, I decided that perhaps I should like start making my way to work, as it was already about 3 plus. [I start work at 530pm.]

After a bit of discussion, I just sort of decided to take 961 with him, so we could like have more time to talk about stuff...

I would love to try and elaborate about what we talked about.. But it seems like I'm a bit tight for time... So I guess I would tell the next part some other time then.. Maybe tomorrow...

[[PS: I'm again at the cybercafe, and due to the fact that I need to go back to take care of Grandma, I need to leave now... And today would probably be about 22 or 21 days before I have to get Enlisted...Sigh.. I really need to start going back to the gym again...]]

Okies... Hope that all of you would be able to have a good night...
And well, I guess I do feel better now today, after having had the chance to talk to my friend, and to learn quite a bit about how it is like in NS....

Hopefully I would be able to cope as well as my friend said I would... ah well... Good night...

A long missing post.... Should have posted...LOL

It's been a whole week since I last posted anything,
So today I've got a lot to update about....

Monday---Went over to my aunt's house for the Vesak Day Holidays and stuff...
Told them about lots of things, they told me quite a bit about their neighbour's grandson, and some of his experiences.. For he was already in NS...

Tuesday --Nothing much happened... At least nothing significant

Wed-- Got to finish work early, so I went over to Esplanade to borrow some books, then went over to the nearby shopping centre and got my gym stuff ready...

Yesterday.... Morning went over to my friend's home area of Boon Lay to swim with him at the swimming pool, dropped my pool locker key in the pool without me knowing, spent like half an hour searching for it... Then took a bus to the MRT station, and took a train towards my work place, but then... on the long journey, slowly drifted off to dreamland and overslept my stop all the way to tanah merah...
Had to like backtrack all the way back to City Hall and ended up being freaking late.. I won't say how long...

Today-- Overslept due to some unforseen circumstances, and was like late-- again... I got so screwed up by my managers.. They scolded me like mad... Then they warned me that if I was late again, they would just terminate my contract like right there and then....
----Dots... I hate my own freaking time management skills and stuff...

Look at me.. I mean I'm like one week away from leaving my job, that I should at least give my superiors a good impression of me!! What the heck am I doing???

I really need to do something about myself... I cannot just allow this kind of thing to go on...

Just a small note--- I'm about 22 days from the day I enlist... I need to get my act together...

PS: If anyone wishes to give me any advice, please give them to me asap... I really hope to have some feedback from all of you...

For the inquisitive-- Where am I now?
I'm at a cybercafe right beside a bus stop at City Hall mrt.... So... yea...
It's going to close soon, so I'm just trying to hurry up with my post...

Just one more thing--- I hope that everything will turn out ok.. I'm really like losing hope day by day... I almost feel like every day that passes is making me feel that much less confident with myself...

Sigh... I pray that everything will be ok...

God Bless us all...
