like a phoenix risen from the ashes..nah.

back from a one week blogging hiatus, mainly cos of a sasser scare. but heck i think it was just my screwy comp rebooting that once for no reason when i tried going online last week. i shall/must/will reformat my hard disk sometime.

i must be one of the last persons around to see the new blogger interface. and i actually do kind of like it better.

recalling (i don't think anyone is going to understand what i'm talking about unless you see your name, but heck here goes)..

today was a rotten day in camp. my upper study on leave and my workshop i/c returning after being on course for 2 weeks. it was hell doing my job all by myself, totally blur where to start and how to do things alone despite watching my upper study all this while. i realise the sad fact that i'm slow witted, i'm way too dependent on people and i can hardly function alone. i. am. hopeless.

yesterday was like any other routine (boring) sunday to me. arguably the most spectacular thing that happened was my uncle lending me some guitar notes, the dummy's guide and a booklet of chords. he must have read my mind finally. was always too embarassed to ask. must practise once i get my guitar working again!

i was out the whole of saturday. ktv at cine kbox with jack and cw was..no-holds-barred? i think it was one of my most uninhibited ktv session ever. oh jack clubbing is for you man. then i went over to jimmy's birthday gig at costa sands. it was real good seeing staff jebat and some faces i haven't seen in a while since leaving oeti. oh i miss those days compared to shitty unit life. we relaxed by the beach, played cards, played with linus' dog. luckily there was bingkun to give me and alvin c a lift home. still i reached home 0230am. drained.

nothing happened on friday . tam postponed plans to watch troy to saturday and i ended up not watching it. on the other hand, sandip initiated dinner for once but i didn't feel like going.

thursday. don't remember. seems like nothing happened either.

on wednesday i went down to smu with ed and sel to meet joven again, to wish her an advance happy birthday before she left for her hongkong trip. i introduced edwin to jiaolian as joven's bf. hah. oh i miss ld trainings, watching her train with her troupe. anyway that legendary "taizi" is really good with the drums.

i was duped on tuesday! the hi-fly balloon exhibition at singapore river was such a dismal affair. but i had a really great dinner at lau pat sat with my jc friends, something that doesn't usually happen on a weekday, so that more than offset everything else bad. but i had 2 servings of dessert. if i'm not getting fat eating all that, all the horrible stuff must be clogged up somewhere in my arteries. urgh.

monday was guard rest day! sunday guard duty wasn't so bad. i had a chatty rp doing prowling with me, so it was okay. after an afternoon sleep i went swimming in the evening. i can't believe i paid adult price for entrance to the public pool. the stupid lifeguard was staring at me while i slotted my coins so i had no choice. swimming is such a relaxing affair, i'm resolving to making it a weekly affair (to wl: i am not turning into an exercise freak okay). it feels different to swim in the evening, watching the sky darken. i also remember aunties doing aerobics in the water to the tune of thai pop.

on another note, i'm offered a place in cs in ntu. a bit surprised cos i half-expected to be rejected. oh well now i must really confirm if i want the place. i can't be backing out if i have to pay a cool hundred bucks as non-refundable deposit.

ok that was quite a bit of self-indulgent crap again.
