What do you mean it's been 5 months?

So I realise, about five minutes ago, that I haven't updated this dusty piece of crap in a really long time. So let's do it.

What has happened to me so far? I've recently passed two more ACCA papers, making me a Level 1. So I guess that means I can find an entry level job or something. Yay.

I've been reassigned in camp. Long story short, I'm being assigned to clean up shit some irresponsible idiot left behind.

I went to Vietnam. Spent a huge portion of my savings for it. With friends I haven't even known for a year. And ended up being either one of the best or worst decisions I have ever made in my life so far. It was a trip for the ages, the stories I could tell could last me fifteen whole minutes. But honestly, there were so many new experiences and the things I learnt from them are pretty much priceless.

I'm now about five months away from my ORD. I was walking back to Simei MRT from Changi General earlier today when I started thinking about it. What the hell am I going to do when the time comes? There are so many permutations and none of them appeals to me. All of them suck, and unless I manage to magically become rich, famous or beautiful they're just going to keep sucking like high power vacuum cleaners.

But I guess it's something for when it comes, and I think I'll decide on one of my options (or have it decided for me) by the time it arrives.

For now, I have a very complicated matter of the heart that I should probably settle soon. It's been lingering for the past three or so years but it finally went critical on my mind a few months ago. It's complicated because... It's complicated. I could make myself lose that circle of friends or it could something to laugh about in the future. As far as experiences go, my lousy reflex causes the first to happen, and it's already happened a few times.

I hope nobody sees this.

Maybe I don't have to hope, I doubt anybody has been here in a while.

Hurray dip doo

I fell asleep too early, destroying my plan for an all nighter. Then I woke up in the middle of the night because of a cramp. I overslept by an hour.

And now I am on a cab to camp.

The day can only get better.

So not super, dude.

I don't get this whole craze with SNSD really.

In fact, I don't get the whole Korean craze at all.

Most of them don't look half decent to begin with.

For actors it's shitty dramas again and again. It's like all they have to do is take out a dartboard and start throwing them towards about four different predetermined plot points and themes and mix them up together.

For singers, their entire repertoire of songs were written for the single purpose of being catchy, and none of them makes any real sense whatsoever. The dances are cheap and simple, there are so many of them so it's very unlikely you will like at least one of them, and then there is the gimmick merchandising like photo cards for fans to collect or trade for the ones they want.

My god. I know what it is now.

It's a mature, high budget children's TV show.

Think about it. Catchy tunes that don't mean shit, easy to learn dances...

It's Hi-5 for teenage boys!

One year

So it's been a year since I enlisted.

It feels like last week, to be honest. Things like that tend to be.

I would like to think that I have become more of a person than I was a year ago.

I have opened my eyes to so many things. The actions or decisions of some people I was surprised with, the others not so much.

Perhaps the most important skill I've picked up in the last few years was learning how to say "no".

Or it was saying "yes".

Maybe it was adjusting what I'd say to different things.

Because it's definitely changed.

Time for an update

It's the last week of my MC. So many things to do, and it's almost half gone.

I finished my epic weekend. It was 4 nights out in a row, with different people in different settings doing different things.

Some for the first time. Some not. Some I probably shouldn't have done. Some I probably shouldn't do again. Some I wouldn't regret. Some I might.

In any case, what's done is done.

2010 awaits.
