new chapter of life, i feel. a whole month away from camp it would seem. ill take every day as it comes
but gee, staying awake is gonna be a real challenge.

week of major spending. cab fares are a real killer man. trip from woodlands to ECP set me back by $28. darn the 35% surcharge, really. and when I reached the pit, no one else was even there yet. talk about punctuality. did head off for dinner @ MAC with Kian & Julian first because we figured that the food isn't gonna be enough for 3 platoons worth of men & commanders.
a real breather from the hustle & bustle of army in-camp training. at least the atmosphere was light and rather relaxed. i said RATHER. haha.
but still, company level BBQ is too big scale i think. 18 should do another BBQ on our own. that would have been a lot more fun. Didn't have a camera to take any pics, disappointed.
i hate it when I keep on telling myself not to drink and I never fail to break that promise. so the whole NO DRINKING policy became a JUST A LITTLE DRINKING WOULDN'T EXACTLY HURT one and eventually imploded into a DRINK & DRINK ALL OUT TO LIFE madcap situation. almost all of us ended up drowning in poison. nothing like ice cold beer on a balmy Friday evening. Baron's was good. still not the biggest fan of beer around though.
trip on 966 bus home with Weijie was rather... eventful as well. air-con was shitass cold and my nose flowed like the River Nile. At that moment i really needed one of Hansen's Vick's nose pluggers. my complaint is that air-con is never cold when you want it to be and much too cold when you ARE already cold enough. and both of us were in singlet and berms. apparently the Ah-Beng was more tolerant towards cold.
then i fell asleep and was roused in a most unforgiving way when the bus jerked: by having my nose crushed against the handgrip of the seat in front. thankfully it didn't bleed, but Weijie was laughing his guts out at my misfortune. ass, with friends like those..... (fill in the rest yourself)
HAHAHA

church on sunday. had to stand throughout the whole service. as if my legs aint already hurting from standing for the whole week in camp. parade rehearsals, drills and tekan sessions. man, being flat footed is such a sin.
headed down to Haji lane after that. rather disappointing cos most of the shops I went specifically to see were closed for the day. lazy people in there couldn't be bothered to do business on lazy sunday afternoons it seemed. no worries, I'll be back eventually, on a weekday. beautiful place, old school charm. feels like Singapore out of Singapore, flashback to colonial times.
