sigh. No weekends are long enough. Even tho I started making use of this weekend on Friday night (that way it seems longer :P) but still I haven't had enough fun. Bah. Outfield this week. Supposedly a 3 day 2 night field camp mid week. Plus a range on Friday night. I hope I'll survive and be back early asap this Friday. *screw marksman*
Anna's bday this Sat, am invited. Time to start thinking what to get her. >.<
Exactly 1 month to Cresendo too.
ok..I know it's crazy..4am in the morning and I'm blogging. Not intending to sleep. COS duty on a Sunday is meant to be slept thru. :)
After the TP test failure.. I went back to camp only to learn that I'll have to clock 1000km of mileage on a jeep in Singapore before I can drive in Thailand.. as a result, the following 2 days (Thurs and Fri) were days for my orientation driving..then familiarisation test..which I passed. Bah. Wished I'd passed the damn Traffic Police test instead. *sigh*
Anyway, it was nice to still be able to drive on a public road. Unfortunately, it's a jeep..no windscreen, no canopy, no doors..nothing to protect me against the rain that hits you so hard like hail on Friday morning. :( Kinda scarey having to drive with 1 hand, with the other arm protecting the eyes from the rain (falling water + forward velocity = pain). Confidence driving eh? :P
Driving at 5am around a residential area is a rather interesting thing too. It's like seeing the country wake up.. schoolchildren waiting for buses with their parents... the working class citizens rushing for the MRT.. newspaper stands being set up, etc..with it everything ending once the sun rises. I hope to do it again.. maybe when I ORD. Heh.
Friday's farewell dinner to my 2 DYS2s was a rather short one. Didn't get to thank them personally. Now that they're gone.. and the new DYS2 being 'bway gan', it's the reign of terror under Staff Tsai(sigh). Picky, stingy, inconsiderate, somewhat unreasonable and foul-tempered when stressed. Looks like life in S2 won't be the same without my old DYs protecting us. :(
Reformatted the comuter. Just like my wife getting amnesia. And I feel nostalgic already. Kinda miss the old wallpaper, desktop, interface...more impt I believe some of my pictures taken and songs downloaded are gone too. Least this silly blog of mine has some pictures which I could still retreive.
Inc Friday..Yh's bday celebration.. inc next week.. outfield..field camp.. inc next month.. Cresendo. ARgh! chiong sua days are drawing near.
damn am I disappointed. Failed my driving test. Yeah, would be quite a feat to pass it 1st time..but whatdaheck, everyone in my dept who could drive a jeep did so..except me. :( Sigh. Was flawless driving until a stupid minor mistake of not turning off my left singal led to a deduction of 18 points (20 max). Gawd..that was the bomb. Nv turn off signal while going straight in junction -> drivier coming from opposite direction thought I was making a turn and cut into my path even I had right of way -> I slowed down, he slowed down and gave way to me -> Tester felt I was 'slow to react', 'failed to observe incoming traffic' and 'improper usage of signal'. 10, 4, 4.. and say hello to a re-test on December 28th. Argh screw it..no driving during Xmas. I really shouldn't have failed...
Never been this disappointed since my A lvls.. Be it anxiety, underconfidence, or whatever the damn reason which makes me fail the important tests so far. It just seems that I can never get things right the first round and would require another attempt in order to succed. Driving test aside, there are so many god damn things in which one doesn't have a luxury of a second chance. I've been screwing things up in my life .. seems that I need a second life to make my count. *sigh*
Laugh everyone, laugh together..
Dear oh dear.. somehow I've been pulled back to playing World of Warcraft. Urgh. Still finding it fun for now, but I wonder for how long. oh well, not paying for the account anyway.. sharing it with my cousin. Which results in me having to play in the wee hours of the morning.
Perhaps this sleeping irregularities are the cause of my recent concentration laspes. For some reason in recent weeks, I just can't seem to concentrate on what I am doing at times. This is worrying.. :( Especially with 'some people' scaring me that I may have a case of Alzheimer's. I hope it doesn't happen to me. urgh.. imagine having it at a tender age of twenty..bah, having it anytime in one's life is bad enough. Being unable to recall who your love ones are..maybe even recognizing the wrong faces...having to take notes every second. *freaky*
Anyway..Corpse bride was a pretty decent show.. kinda of a 'feel good' movie with a touch of ominousness. The kind of standard weekend for me.. movie..dinner get-together..short cycling trip..and gaming sesson. Another week ahead. Short week tho. Driving test this Tuesday *shivers*. And specialist appointment on Thursday. mm... chance to play WoW.
And yes! The dreadful CSM is gone! woo. Friday was his last day. May he never return. He gave me a goddamn parting present of next Sunday's COS duty tho. Bastiage.
