ok this is going out of control. i'm eating dinner in front of the copmuter. fortunately not leftovers, but fully by myself :( i have live firing next sunday, so that's half my outside social life gone down the drain! and it's already 7.53pm, so i have about 3hours 22minutes before going back to camp.
apparently there was supposed to be a field pack inspection, but half-lying me says that my nephew is home and i have to take care of him till my parents come home.
3hours 20 minutes of freedom left. i think i'm going totally insane.
today marks the end of what feels like such a long holiday; rarely do i have week long breaks. gosh i sure do miss the good times of school days when holidays were month long at least and going back to school felt less like a chore but more of a reunion of friends. but lest the day will never come (unless you count university. hoorah! hahaha can't really wait)
this holiday (actually my holiday was only a week long. 23/12-02/01) but i really got to know a lot of people better other than the army chatter i'm so used to (and totally abhor).
i'm so sleeeeeeeepy now i think i'll go snooze. but i don't want to waste any time because i'm going back tonight! army feels like such a prison, i really feel sorry for my sonny gang and the church people who are going in this week. soon they'll be brainwashed and they'll spend the whole week planning what they're going to do on weekends, only to dread sunday nights. hope they don't pick up bad habits.
ok lah. snooze time.

i feel like shit. because just this morning i set one of my resolutions to be nice. and apparently i've already irritated quite a few people with such minor things.
sigh i hate myself

1 January 2005
browsing through the photos of the tsunami on yahoo, i feel really lucky that singapore is really where it is, in such a sheltered location. and many times we take our safety for granted. indonesia is trashed upside down, and people all the way over in india are affected too. jeff was saying during service yesterday that this could be god's 'wake up call' for those people who have yet to turn to him, but it's so difficult to see how losing your loved ones could make you anything other than a bitter person. step into their shoes, and it's next to impossible.
my mom's also applying hk university for me. i really hope i get in; i was dreaming of food like for the past hour. too bad my chinese is really so crap, but fortunately i meet their requirements which is a minimum of E8 for o levels (i got that! luckily i didn't drop it altogether). and it's also a lot cheaper than australia apparently so i'll feel a lot less guilty.
new year's days are always dull stay-home boring. bleah. the weather's been so gloomy; perhaps reminiscing of the year gone by.

it's 2.57am, and i'm home before my 3am curfew :) since when did i have a curfew anyway... hmm actually i always did haha but i never stuck to them so this time i'm being a good filial and considerate son, because after all it is 2005 and i want it all to start well :)
went out in the afternoon with di, daph and emily gan. so her ex-boyfriend didn't want her back after all, which i really thought was the right thing to do albeit being somewhat mean. if she really loved him that much she wouldn't have to go find another guy to figure out that she really loved him. that's what i think anyway. maybe you can say it's about forgiveness, but people are still young and there's lots to life to look forward too. plus the point that i don't believe in long distance relationships, at all.
had lunch at thaiexpress (which rocked!!). i feel like a pig (gluttony is one of the deadly sins after all! lol) because i had mango salad, tom yum soup and green curry laksa almost all to myself! plus i finished the leftovers from emily's phat thai or whatever which was pretty good too! so the bill came to $45 and half of it was mine, even though it was a table for four. haha. and it was realyl spicy so when i poop (nice word) it's spicy and when i fart my ass feels spicy. it's really intriguing.
after that we roamed around for a while, when emily said she needed to find this agency where she would be going for job training as an accountant of sorts. the place was located near raffles city mrt, and on the map it was initialled as 'AEC'. so the both of us walked around raffles city for like so long in these ulu mrt tunnels that i have never been to in my entire life! and when we finally reached we discovered that AEC stood for 'Ah... Eat and Chat!' which is like howwwww dumb lah. hahahaha we were laughing for like a while before we got over it. but fortunately the real place was actually next door, which was some education agency conducting courses.
just got back from yg new years' outing, which was not bad. went to watch 'meet the fockers' which was quite funny! but D really wanted to watch it with me! well, sorry :P i wanted to watch 'seed of chucky' with my youth group instead, thinking how nice it would be to start the new year all jumpy and scared (in a good way!) but i think it's rated m18, and it's certainly not fun to exclude half our youth group! but fortunately meet the fockers was really nice.
before that, about half our group followed sarah to the countdown@boonlay which her friend helped to organise. it was such a letdown - i thought i could take a photo with jenette aw! who is so pretty even in real life but all i could clearly see was her ass which was... ok wasn't too bad :) but i think her face looks a lot better than her ass obviously. sigh. on the bus (thankfully a FREE shuttle bus) sarah and i were listening to jay chou songs from my ipod and boy, his songs are really damn fun to listen to! david tao is just as good but perhaps not as upbeat and fun as jays. and it's good to be happy :)
too bad she fell sick during the movie! poor girl she was shivering like mad in the cinema; wonder whether she actually got to enjoy the show. sarah you better be well when you read this, ok! then in the cab back home, karl was having a sore throat and i was coughing my lungs out! thank God for strepsils! the orange vitamin-c flavour and the lemon and honey is really damn soothing. need to buy more before my throat really comes out of my mouth. everyone's getting sick, it's the festive flu bug!
it's 2005, the new year, and new years are all about setting resolutions. so here's my resolutions for this coming 2005
2005 resolutions
1) read my bible daily, as well as qt journaling. EVEN if people don't remind me, that i have the self discipline to actually remember
2)no smoking (not even out in the jungle, like zero zilch)
3)limited drinking and clubbing. no consecutive weeks! maximum 3 glasses or 3 shots (as to rachel huang. includes rule #2!)
4)be a nice person and an even better friend to those around me. it's important to really realise that other people have feelings too and in the end, it's better be the giver even if the whole world takes you for granted. never give up, it doesn't hurt to be nice. but don't be a pushover!
there's really many other things that i could include, but of course i think being realistic is the most important one :) so here's just 4 to think about and not forget. happy 2005!
