Unit life is quite ok so far!
Much better than BMT I would say. Other than the fact that I get to go home everyday, unit life is definitely much better than BMT is so many different ways. I'll not list them out cos it's pretty obvious.
I was telling the rest how ironic it was that I was the only one who had a chance to get promoted to 3SG. Hahahahaha.
If I do, and I think I will, I'll get higher pay! :)
Anyway, there's really pretty much nothing to blog about except for unit life. The people there are nice and pretty friendly so I think I'll adjust well.
The bad thing is that I wear CV there but change into No.4 upon arrival and back to CV again when I leave because I want to listen to music on the way there and back. I heard it's not allowed in uniform so I'm not Taking Chances like Celine Dion.
Taking Chances is out in stores now.Ok I don't know what the lame advert was for. That album was so last year. Haha.
Okie I better sleep early. Seeya!

So ends my much deserved block leave. Haha and I think that this is the only time that I will actually have such free time.
I begin my 'actual' army life tomorrow.
Probably because BMT seemed like a daze. What I mean is, the moment I entered Tekong, it seemed as though I went into this shut off mode.
It's like I dove into the water and surfaced on weekends. While I'm underwater I just drift around and play with the seaweed or something. I'm not really myself but like in a daze.
Kinda weird huh?
Anyway, I really have to make use of these 2 years and whatever time I have to do something productive at least.
Like blog more. Lol.
Suddenly, Martin's many plans of like, taking tennis lessons or something seem quite attractive. Hmmmm.
Maybe I should take up another language or something to make myself "worth more in the workplace".
HAHAHAHA YEA RIGHT.
You spin my head right round right roundBlah. It's 1:35pm and I have no idea what to do.
Maybe I'll rewatch the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy.
Hmmm...

Listening to Norah Jones is really therapeutic...
My heart is drenched in wine...You can just feel yourself sitting down at a nice hotel lobby and listening to her playing the piano and singing her lovely melodies.
Well I'm talking about her first album. The one which got all the Grammys and sold 10 mil albums in the USA.
Her other albums weren't as good somehow.
Ah well..
Tells a tale of grace...

*Phone Rings*
Me: Hello?
Caller: *mutters something*
Me: Sorry?
Caller: *mutters same thing*
Me: I think you got the wrong number
Caller: Ok ok.
Is my number really that nice to call??
5:51 PM
Ugh.... my throat feels like utter crap.
I just spat out a wad of greenish phlegm into the sink this morning after I woke up.
UGH!
That, is obviously a sign of throat infection. Damn it! It must be like the last bad thing that Tekong has given me.
Anyway, I had a great time yesterday celebrating Martin's birthday. Tiring, yes, but lots of fun. Going crazy at Billy Bombers and Harry's was definitely something that I have not done in a long time. I spent a lot of money though. Zzz. It's something that's going to come out of my pay.
I realised that I have been waking up later and later each day. Which is really bad! I must resolve to sleep and wake up earlier. After all, Zhao xui zhao qi shen ti hao.
If you didn't get that, it literally means "Early sleep early wake up body good." It's probably the only thing I remember about primary school Chinese lessons. (other than Matt vandalizing on the pictures on the Chinese textbooks).
Ok Martin's nagging me to play dota. So I'm off!

Caller: Hello may I speak to
Ying Ying please?
Me: Sorry what?
Caller: May I speak to
Ying Ying?
Me: Errr.. Sorry I think you got the wrong number.
Caller: Can't be leh. This isn't the pet shop business?
Me: Err no.
Caller: Oh sorry.
Since when did I open a pet shop? Most of
my pets don't even last a year.

Haha I'm blogging from Vig's house right now. He and Ah Pie are playing Fear 2 on Xbox with great enthusiasm while I sit at his computer and blog hahaha.
We're patiently awaiting the arrival of Yuslina Aziz as well as Shermaine Chek before we play guitar hero/rock band. Too bad the people who are working can't join but oh well.
Anyway, I just upgraded my computer and the RA3 graphics are SO much better! Everything is so much more detailed. Too bad I played finish the campaign already ugh...
Ho hum. I'll blog more when I'm back.

Wow I just had like, the best day ever...
First I reached the company line only to find out that I didn't need to report for guard duty. Then, my sergeant told me to catch the 4pm ferry. I reached there only to find out that the next ferry that I could board was 8pm. When I reached there at 8pm, the sergeant on duty, who was from my company told me,
"Actually you can book out earlier one. Who told you 8pm?"
So now I sit at my computer, thinking about the WONDERFUL day that I just had. It has been such a great day! :) :) :)

Looking at certain things really brings back memories.
Not really good memories, although partially good, but mainly bad memories. Memories of foolishness and naivety, of dilemmas and needless worries.
I've made many silly mistakes in the past. Although it sometimes brings a smile on my face as to how utterly... weird I was (although I still am hahaha), these are memories that I do not really wish to revisit.
I'm glad that I've moved past it though. It's really been so long.
Out of the darkness and into the sun, but I won't forget...I feel like walking in the fields, walking through the long, golden grass with no direction. To just walk on and on, emptying my mind of unnecessary thoughts... mainly bad thoughts. Because I really don't want to revisit the past, even though I inevitably will.
Light up, light up, Food.
as if you have a choice.
Disguise.
Even if you cannot hear my voice,Footprints.
I'll be right beside you dear.Message.
Louder, louder, and we'll run for our livesGuilt.
I can hardly speak I understandMelancholy
Why you can't raise your voice to say.-----
Guard duty tomorrow really sucks. To go back to that island again when I was all set to leave. Sob. At least it's a 12 hour shift not a 24 hour one.
Regardless, I better sleep soon.

Peter asks me to switch to livejournal so he can keep track.
But I don't want to switch to livejournal! I like blogspot! (I hope they're reading this) I love customizing my blog and switching themes from time to time (for those who have been so ignorant not to notice).
So Peter I guess your answer is no (for the time being).
Anyway, I'm POC-ing in 2 days! :) :) :) I'm also booking in in 2 hours, but that's besides the point. I'm going to look on the bright side.
Haha I just told Zen that I'm passing out on Tuesday and he was like
zenata says:u wAD?!
zenata says:wad passing out?!
«∞Θ §am Θ∞» Live Your Life says:LOL
«∞Θ §am Θ∞» Live Your Life says:as in like
«∞Θ §am Θ∞» Live Your Life says:graduate from BMT
«∞Θ §am Θ∞» Live Your Life says:hahha
zenata says:oh
zenata says:haiyyo
«∞Θ §am Θ∞» Live Your Life says:not literally faint on the floor
«∞Θ §am Θ∞» Live Your Life says:hahahahaha
Anyway, I've been contemplating a career in journalism. I've always wanted to get into the mass media in some way, like dig my claws into people's minds.
My dear parents told me to take law, probably in the UK, then from there I can branch out to do many other things.
"Just because you study law doesn't mean you have to practice law."
At first I thought they were just trying to trick me into taking over the firm. Then I realised that my parents aren't that devious. I think. Anyway, my mother was telling me to contemplate journalism since she has been a journalist before and has a friend who currently works in SPH.
"It's an exciting life."
I always told myself never to get a boring, routine job that will end up with my death from boredom. So journalism began to get more interesting.
"The pay is good too."
Then suddenly, for some unknown reason, journalism became very, very attractive.
Just kidding. Lol.
As in about the money thing. I'm not really obsessed about money. My friends who CONSTANTLY BORROW MONEY AND HAVE NOT RETURNED should know that.
Blah blah blah yak yak yak
Ok bye I gotta book in. Hahahaha.

The results are out!
History: A
Literature: B
Econs: B
GP: B
Maths : E
I was absolutely elated when I received my results. Seriously. I was expecting THE WORST. Especially for Econs cos I got a U for it for my prelims I think. I just did really badly for prelims. I think my score was USD or SSD or smth like that.
I nearly hyperventilated when I saw an A for History. Hahahaha. Mel can definitely attest to that. She was like "Sam relax!" haha.
Well of course Maths is a real bummer but oh well I don't really care because I did well for my arts related subjects so that's all that matters to me.
I guess I was so overjoyed because most people thought I was bumming around when I was actually mugging my ass off, especially for History and Econs after prelims. Also cos I did so badly for prelims that I thought I dug a hole so deep that nothing could drag me out. Haha. And I already mentally prepared myself to expect the worst and even rehearsed what to message my parents should my results be disastrous.
Ah well. A levels are finally done and over with.
Now to move on to the next phase of life.
Bring it on.
