Haiz I realised I long time never blog liao... Maybe it is because there is not much things happening nowadays... After posting to unit, there is really so much free time that sometimes I don't know what to do... I guess I have to adapt to the new environment loh...

Eh just an update of what is happening to me in the future... January I am going for the battalion proficiency test, which means outfield and combat ration again... Then February I am going to India for overseas training... I think I can bring a camera to take photos over there, but cannot post on blogs confirm...

Eh recently my friend told me something which is very touching loh... He shopped for a whole day to look for a watch to give her sister as a birthday present... Then he found this watch which is very expensive (to me)... around $250 like that... to give as a 21st birthday present... But his main objective is to tell me about the high quality of the service they provided lah... But then come to think of it, the most I spent on a birthday present is $20, which is a new music CD... But then I thought it is the thought that counts lah...

Recently I have been saving money and earning money from tuition and betting soccer... But hey... Isn't betting a sure lose thing? Yah in the long run perhaps, but I got lucky! Today I won $50 again... Long time buy once also fun... Some more earn money... It just feels kind of strange to find that my bank account is empty before my pay comes in... Worst still, If I need to use money but my bank account has no money, then hong gan. So it is better to have some money in the bank... I still haven't broken the 4 digit mark yet loh, showing how poor I am...

I'm still quite energetic now loh... I thought Peng Kiat will stay up in front of the computer to watch the live scores, but apparently he is not on MSN liao... Sianz...

Now my bunk has TV, fridge, VCD player, PS2, microwave oven... what more do I need? Haiz...

PLEDGE: I WILL NEVER TO THINGS LAST MINUTE AGAIN!!!

Haiz... The feeling of having found something yet cannot get your hands to it is so bad, and that costs me to sign 2 more 1206s... Sian loh...

4 more days to 3SG...

But at least now I know where to go to look for what I want. It may be helpful to me in the future...

15 weeks has passed... 1 more week to go!!! Haha!!! I am a damn happy man right now lah, because I got my sergeant pay already... Pay rise!!! Hmmm... Shouldn't think about that, but rather it is the fact that I would have better control over the time I have now. So I can use my time more effectively, saving time and churning out more personal time!!!

So 9 months has passed since I first stepped into Tekong. I think it is time to review my future. I hope by the end of NS I would have a clearer picture of my future, and not remain as a blur blur one...

13 weeks has passed!!! 3 more weeks to go!!! Next week is my summary exercise liao... So will be damn xiong for me... But I will endure, because in 3 weeks I will get a pay rise!!! Haha...

Haiz... Weixin has gone to China, and I don't even have the chance to send him off due to my mortar live firing. Hmmm...

I think I should think more about my future now, not only counting down to my POP date.

Yeah!!! 9 weeks has gone... 7 weeks more to go!!! It seems like time is flying quite fast eh?! And I think I am getting more and more cheerful as days go by...

Hmmm... I am broke again!!! 4 more days to payday, but seriously I must plan how my money should be spent now. Recalling how I spent my money last month, I realised most of the things I spent on cannot be saved one. ESPECIALLY TIME! I don't mind spending money for time lah. That explains why my taxi fare for the month is like 60 bucks like that. 7 back from the camp, 5 to the camp. So every week I will spend about 12 bucks on taxi fare like that. Then 100 dollars are thrown into my confirm-must-save account, 30 dollars for my handphone bill, another 100 to all the army items I have to buy, around 50 for public transport (damn expensive!), and I have only $150 left for my own disposal!!! Now I know why I don't have any money liao.

Speaking about public transport, they are really deteriorating lah. Prices are going up as usual, but I can't see their services improving. I haven't seen any new buses for like 6-7 years already, their buses are getting older and older. What they are focusing on now are things which we don't really require loh. Or rather I don't require. Things like TVMobile, Vehicle Location System, GPS, EZlink... All like quite useless lah... The bus frequencies are getting longer, and I hate waiting for buses. What else? I think keeping the bus fleet young is better than all these loh, like what SIA is doing. Haiz...

Hmmm... IPPT training over, but still got SOC 2 days later. Then after that I bet still got some more physical training for the Army Half Marathon loh. 5km, 8km, 10km, 12km run... Since I have cycled numerous 40km, after the 10km run, it is only a 1.5km swim from a full triathlon!!! Siao liao. Yeong Heng don't be surprised if I meet you up for a 30-lap swim!!! Shit I think I'm crazy liao.

Later still got 4N class gathering for Qi Jian and a steamboat dinner at Marina South. I think there will be a lot of people there loh, because tonight got fireworks!!! And that means I'm late liao. Haha...
