laughed it off initially, but soon realized that it was a lot more troublesome(and painful) than it originally seemed. reality dawned upon me that I was in deep shit and no mother's son would be able to drag me outta this one.
horrible feeling lah. first time in my life that I've lost something(honest! ive always been a very careful person) and something so important too. i'm in financial ruin now(hahaha). money issues are surrounding me. I have a give-and-take relationship regarding money with the banks, people around me and everything else now(apply for new 11B, new biometric passport, health supplements, phone bills, safra) .
yeah. except that, its i GIVE and they TAKE.
particularly painful especially when the wallet itself carried a lot of sentimental value as well.
sigh. but i'll get over it i think.

not in the best of conditions in a physical sense either. the MO demanded that I either go through a series of diagnoses that could potentially result in a downpes(ah, every NSF's dream) or make special insoles for my flat feet that are now excruciatingly painful after ICSB.
I chose the latter, much to the dismay of the guys from 18. hahaha. because from my point of view uh, its been like 1 year already. i have like 10 more months to go and the only physically taxing activity left to do is ROC in Taiwan. why not just get it done and over with(if possibly with the aid of special insoles) and ORD with a perfect physical record. apparently not everyone agreed. the 12km run in camp only made it worse. I finished the thing limping on my left side. like macham Terry Fox run, know.
at least the month didnt end off on a sour note lah. because people who matter to me are arriving home from distant shores. Jon's back from Thailand for a week before heading back for 6 mths, George's due back from India cos his' school term's starting again(haha, sucker!) and Gwen's back from Sweden. strangely enough, no hot swede guy in tow. nice to have people back for a change because for a while, everyone was flying off to somewhere and I'm still stuck here.
Shandy Tan, you are guilty of that. see, you matter to me cos I woke up at like 5am to wish you bon voyage. pity i wasn't at the airport to see Mel's drama mama antics.
Come back soon!
