The Future Ahead

I realised that I haven't been posting on this blog for a long while yet... But occasionally I'll still chart down my important updates...

1) ORD Loh!!

22nd Jan 2010. It's coming!!!

2) What next?

The point above ain't exactly the best of events, considering after that I'll have like 6 months to rot before uni starts. So WHAT NEXT? Job? Go NEET? Or perhaps a combination of both, while working on a personal project.

3) University

Oh well, getting the double degree in Mat Sci and Engin & Business Admin was the easy part. The hard part comes in actually doing the course. Well, I'll just put my trust in God yet again, and that He will direct my footsteps.

4) Car

I've been hankering for one, yet nobody, but nobody, seems to be listening just yet. I'm not looking at some grand Porsche. I just need a second hand one to tinker around with so I can get the hang of how to "Zhng" a car.

5) 21st B'day

Now that's something to think about...

Recent Events

Considering that I haven't posted anything here for a long while, this is gonna be a great list of updates coming in from the last post to date...

1) Posted to Tengah Ammo Depot...But it will be closing down soon...*sob*

I've enjoyed my time in this place so far, considering all the events that have occured at my workplace. Anyone would be hard pressed to find another workplace so...interesting as my depot.

2) On my way to driving a car!

That's great, although I'm not gonna be doing those crazy boosts to the car like some other folks till I settle down with a car that I've decided I'm gonna be keeping for a long long while...

3) NDP helpout this year!

The new insights I've gotten while working on the fireworks committee have been most enlightening. No doubt we all suffer from the abundant provenance of hard labour, knowing that we are working for a great display really puts some heart into the work effort, asides from all the strange freebees that come with the NDP helpout... :P

4) The Mastermind

While doing some psychological profiles for myself and my camp mates, I've found that my profile closely matches that of the "Mastermind"... Not that I'm complaining or anything...but it just seems a little overboard somehow... Nevermind, we'll just Keep Moving Forward.

"Light Up The Darkness Of Day, Douse The Brightness Of Night" -Source Unknown...

An interesting quote, by far one of the most thought provoking I've...um...found...

And another one that someone told me, which I found to be highly accurate: "I am not who I think I am. I am not who you think I am. I am who I think you think I am." (courtesy of the guy with no fear in his game of life)

The Road Ahead

"The road ahead is filled with fog, so thick and dark. Will I stumble, will I fall, will I find glory after all?"-Source Unknown...

My next posting comes on 21st March...the day of reckoning...where will I go? And where to after NS is over? Questions, questions...They fill the mind with discord and fear... A path I have paved, but will this path be one I like, or one I fear?

People find fear in death, one of the 7 great incarnations of Death (Thanatos), Time (Chronos), Nature, War (Mars), Fate (Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos), Evil and Good. Some find death to be a release from the petty trivials of life. Much joy there is to be found in life, but also much sorrow. Death is the one true release that all must phase through. Do not fear Death, says logic, but instead welcome him with open arms, to bear your soul to a better place.

"Find peace in the tranquility of Death, all you victims of Life."-Tomas Macabee, Pariah speaker for the Necrons

Weekend Bookout

The Soldier's Creed

Training to be soldiers,
Fight for our land.
Once in our life,
2 years of our time.
Have you ever wondered,
Why must we serve?
Because we love our land,
And we want it to be free, to be free. Yah!

Stand up,
Be on your guard.
Come on everybody,
Do your part.
Come on every soldier,
With Soul and Heart.
Do it for our Nation,
Do it for our Singapore. Yah!

Looking all around us,
People everywhere.
Children having fun,
While we are holding guns.
Have you ever wondered,
Why must we serve?
Because we love our land,
And we want it to be free, to be free. Yah!

I think this song truly captures the spirit of NS, rather than the 7 core values that the SAF has. Still think it would be better for us to sing this song before water parade rather than recite the 7 core values of the SAF, but hey, that's just a thought.

Oh well, booking in tomorrow evening again... will continue hoping for long weekends and more MCs...

The Whiskey Wolves

So to speak, that's where i'm based now... POC on 11th March, looking forward to that day. Can't say much about this now, cos i'm still bound by some official secrets act, and i don't really know what's allowed and what's not...

Hoping i get a good slack unit after this...then can get a regular 9-5 job, with an unfortunately low pay for that job...cos the govt is just giving u back part of the income tax ur parents pay...

The Advent...

5 more days to NS...hmm...this is gonna be strange...giving service to a country in order to be able to start the process that ensures that i can continue to earn a living in the country. well, no one ever said that there was ever such a thing as free lunch in this world...

BUT...2 Whole Years!! Oh well, looking on the bright side at least it'll still give me some time to brush up on my office politics. perhaps army politics are different from everyday office ones, but, we'll see...

Considering Changing Motto: anyone got any ideas? (only want to hear from those who know me well enough. please don't tag it!the tagboard's already screwed up as it is...just send me a mail or sms or something...)

~Watcha gonna do when they(the ARMY) come for you??~

A Series of (Unfortunate, but i don't think so :P) Events

1) Birthday just passed about 3 days ago...

2) NS on 25th January. (now that's unfortunate)

3) Still left with nothing to do after my A Levels. Still Facebooking, TW-ing, DOTA-ing, MSN-ing,...

I think i'm real bored. it's like a whole new experience, being suddenly aware that there's actually no need to study anymore if you don't wanna go uni after this. so i shall just enjoy my freedom for the next few days, while waiting to enter a prison camp for the next 2 years of my life. and in the meantime, i'll go back to Facebooking, TW-ing, DOTA-ing, MSN-ing,...
