only half way thru April and..
..I'm dying. :( Alright, lotsa bad news this week.. beginning with the change of my S2 from a nice, understanding man to the new crazy bugger who is coming in. Sigh, my previous OC from RTW in Nee Soon camp is coming over as early as july to take over.. Knowing him, he isn't any like the present S2. Hard to work with, takes out his frustrations on his men, typical hokkien peng. Yay. SAF presents this to me for my bday.
Speaking about working with him.. I 've to go to Thailand in sept, once NDP is over. For operation Claymore. whee. 2 weeks of hell in Thailand.. with a nutcase leading us. Then before I ORD, another 3 more excercises to go in Singapore too. argh.
1 COS duty is over, another one to go. This weekend will be short, and next week will be long thanks to the last minute range I have next Thurs/Fri. I hope I can still get my marksman, tho it's significantly harder as it's a combat shoot.. meaning they'll take the average score of those in my detail. ($200 is no longer within my control)
Went home last night to find an envelope from IDP. Apparently I've been accepted into Monash college to take my diploma in business and commerce, then I can continue with the 2nd year to get a degree from Monash university. Pity the deadline to reply is on the 30th of April. Not enough time for me to decide..since NUS , NTU and SIM won't give their reply that early. And I don't wanna 'play it safe to pay a deposite of $9k' only to find out that eventually I won't wanna go to Australia. Hai, headache ah. So many things to consider. Don't really know if I wanna head into the Big Unknown too. Weighing my friends, family (and my parent's current relationship), the fact that I've been away in NS for 2yrs, my lifestyle here, possibility of getting a gf.. against the new and useful experience I will get by studying abroad. I really need to sit down and think one of these weekends. $90k - $110k isn't really worth it too.. hai, but there isn't a price you can compromise on education, is there?
Stressful month so far. Lotsa things to worry about.. e.g. whether my range will clash with my driving ($60 per lesson isn't something I can afford to cancel).. plus my weekends w/out Jit as he signed extra, meaning less badmintons.. next month's schedule for duties.. I hope I don't get more than 2.. hai.. finiancial crisis too. Maybe I shd just pick up smoking, seems to be a good way to relief stress. Afterall I've a nice zippo lighter which makes it more convenient. heh. Tried a stick earlier this week, wasn't really a nice sensation, but it's something I can get used to if it helps relief stress. ha.
Really looking forward in May, where I will get 2 long weekends thanks for public holidays. (Or so it seems, since the SAF can take away anything as they own my life as of now) I really need a break from this crazy army life.
