swansong

and i approach the last week of my existence here on this earth

what a slack week it has been. yknow the ultra tiring field camp that i was supposed to have? i reported to the army doc about my knee pains and i got to skip the whole thing. lol. i just came back from the physiotherapist, who referred me for another test on tues, and go back to her on wed.
SO, next week gonna be booking out quite abit. haha. my PC is going to kill me.

i'm going to taiwan next week! for army training. leaving on the 1AM flight on sat morning (so that's kinda like fri night 25th Jul, in case you're confused), so noone can send me off :(
ill be back in the wee hours of 16th aug (which is incidentally Raylia's birthday :) ) , around 4AM?

anxious? nervous? scared? apprehensive?
yes to all the above.
firstly ive never route marched since.. BMT? i skipped basically all the route marches here in sispec. dont ask me why. secondly i havent had a field camp longer than 4 days since BMT (which was 5 days) and in taiwan there's a 7 day field camp -_-
thirdly i've never been overseas since i was a little kid (went HK once, that's about it. exclude malaysia) , it's my first time in taiwan.
fourthly, weather is erratic there i heard, gonna be a real damper when it rains and extremely trying when it's scorching hot.
fifthly, (wow i've never heard of the word 'fifthly' before, usually when people go firstly... it ends by four) ill be gone for 3 weeks! thats the longest overseas time ever. and longest away-from-home-and-everyone-else time ever! wow, i'm gonna be SO homesick.

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

MercyMe - Homesick

(a beautiful song btw. i love mercyme, their songs are all nice)

so many things to do this weekend. :/ must go out with as many people as possible, play enough warcraft to satisfy my gaming desires, CHANGE MONEY (troublesome thing :/ ) , think of what else to prep for taiwan. ETCETC. so far my whole of sun is booked, sat noon is booked. who wanna go out with me sat afternoon/evening/night? :p
mon is reserved for warcraft. wahaha.
oh yes, i have OFF DAY on monday. woohoo. so monday night book in.

sigh ok. im getting very tired just looking at the screen but if i step away from the comp now someone else is gonna use and i'll have nothing to do for the whole night. so. i dunno ill probably idly surf around and talk to random ppl online. chowz.

classic

do you see the sidebar section over there ---->
Classics .. or favourites or whatever i called it? Those are previous entries that i thought were very well written or very funny or dunno what. i've been planning to update it for awhile, maybe i'll do it before i go taiwan.

anyway i just stumbled upon an entry which HAS to go up there. well, it'll be more funny for JC students as sec school ppl wont understand some parts.
It's really quite brilliant! like almost every phrase is a pun. haha.

i'm vain!

i'm in love with...

my pants!

Lol. ok probably noone noticed but i was wearing my new S&K pants to church today and it was so chio la!! i couldn't stop looking down at how nice it was. the whole.. design.. and colour.. was just so nice! i love it!
<3

it's great to have your own pay! it's like, so much more money than i had before and i can use it to buy new clothes, etc. i think by the end of army (or of this year) i'll already have a complete new wardrobe and all my old clothes will be thrown away, when previously i can wear a shirt for 4-5 years.
ok, maybe not 4-5 years. but you get the idea.


On a different note, i think Lincoln Mao is a damn good speaker la!!! seriously everytime he speaks i'll be paying full attention and he's the only speaker who can make me like..completely understand what he's saying.
His style is quite 'GP-style' actually. Like, he comes up with many examples to support his point, then argues it, then gives some kinda counterargument and goes like 'is this the lifestyle that we should pursue? of course not! etcetc'
I'm amazed by the number of examples he has though. how much research does he do ah? he probably gave like 20 examples/analogies in that short 20-30 minute sermon. totally relevant too!


random note - my bitcomet torrent is at 375kb/s! lol. ultra fast. an entire movie of 700+mb is going to finish in 30 minutes. pwnz.
