block leave

I am so lazy. This entry should have come days eariler. but i just didn't bother then.

now is block leave week, which leaves me with 10 more weeks of BMT training before i can FO from that place and hopefully dun go back there ever again. Just before the block leave, the whole week was simply crap! mon and wed was so called logistic day, dunno what the instructors or rather commanders had to do on tat day. so what we did was just to sleep in bunk the whole day. go for lunch then come back sleep again, except for the occasional heads out crap. then the other days were doing sai gang day. on tue when the enhanced ppl pop, have to go do sai gang, which was a really dumb job. To keep dogs from entering the parade square. throughout the whole event, we didn't even see a single dog. i was paired up with Alnsley and i was digging a hole while he sharpening a tree branch, just in case a dog comes by and we can stab it to death! on thu and fri, it was enlistment day, again, eagle coy got sai gang to do. this time round, i didn't kena much sai gang, except moving some display board and foxtrot CSM rewarded us with 5 pack of the goodie bag the visitors got. i mean each person getting 5. bookout then followed and i was so happy. getting out of tat place for one whole week!

enough of army life. back to school!! not to study though. went to the nus open day with yz. chiobu galore. all the way from clementi bus interchange to the 2 girls who brought us around the arts n social sci fac. i guess i more or less decided on geography. as for 2nd choice, i wld be putting real estate. maybe sociology comes in 3rd. but studying sociology seems like so GP. after walking around the FASS, we went to the faculty of medicine. it was like practically dead there. no much ppl around, then the guides there were like so duh. i thought there wld be a visit around the fac and maybe i cld see the labs with some funky bloody gory things, or the lab where they practice their surgery skill, ie on dead bodies ( i heard) and so on. but there was simply nothing. not sure if we missed the timing or wat. guess i will never have the chance to see those things. decided to eat at NUH food junction before going down to suntec city for the IT fair. pia down there in a cab. the fair was freaking crowded and one wld have so much difficulty walking round the exhibition. basically, i didn't see much things lah. was looking out for a dvd writer but the prices were still too high for my budget. chanced upon a minolta digital camp at 399. quite a gd deal, but money doesn't part from me tat easily. went home and considered this, consider tat, decided tat having a cam now wld be rather useless, except during POP, then it wld be rotting in my cupboard. so a saturday was spent like this. and what a sat i enjoyed, without having to think abt sun, where normally i have to book in.

then on to monday. decided to go to the guan yin temple with mum. was thinking of going to pray during CNY, but it was too crowded then. as usual, the temple was crowded, but unlike other temple, it doesn't have tat much incense fumes there. what was worth complaining was the weather. it was so freaking hot tat i drank 2 bottles of mineral water at one go after the visit. like having water parade. walked around bugis area, went to the bugis market to buy some t shirt. now much easier to buy clothes liao. L size tee can fit me. then gd loh. and also lah, the place is like a giant oven. freaking hot!!!!! went to kino and bought memoirs of a geisha. i finished chapter 1 and it was interesting, for it was the first time i read a book about somebody. it was from the geisha called sayuri perspective, but yet it was written by another guy. interesting. so far, i thought it was a gd one. and btw, the bourne supremacy was ulter crap, esp the ending. in fact, i just scanned through the last few pages before proceeding onto my new book.

yeah. finally can have late nights and wake up late. maybe go for a swim again tmr. just went for one today and the number of kids in the pool can make u go crazy. many of them were having swimming lessons and they were swimming along the breadth of the pool. it is like crossing a road with heavy traffic. funny tat cck pool doesn't have a swimming pool of like 1 m height for children learning swimming. saw a few kids were struggling at the edge of the pool and it was like 1.2 m deep. luckily by late afternoon, the pool became more empty and was much easier to swim. seriously need to exercise, for the past few days have been eating like nobody business. what i thought it true, once i pop, i can't stop. in camp, without food, i wldn't think much of eating, but now at home, oncei got nothing to do, i wld head off to the kitchen. but i think tmr there wld be not much to munch on, as the kitchen have been cleared by me. now my weight is abt 100 and i wanna push it down to 2 digit during this week. have to work hard!

ok enough crap. it's late.
