Drip drip drip

Just a dump of random thoughts here:

- Saw this interesting msn personal message: It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.

- Free Iced Milo from the green van in the primary school days taste the best, too bad we don't know where is it now.

- Eating Breakfast meal from the McDonalds tells me that I've the luxary of the morning for myself, but having the same meal alone at home makes me wish to have a accompany of buddies with me at that very moment

- NUH's A&E was so much calmer than Grey's Anatomy's Traumatic room. Less drama also (duh)

- There's no break =(

- Think that the purpose in life is to make decisions. And often we are made to make big decisions that we thought we aren't ready to. Especially decisions that will affect you for life, as we only live once. I hope I haven't make any regrettable decisions so far, but I guess even if I do, I'd be all in to face the music.

Hot and Cold

This freakish weather is just plain irritating, be it global climate change not. (Personally Earth Hour is just another hype).

Think many would have thought of this question, would you prefer to be in a super hot or super cold environment. I'm talking about the more extreme kind, not those windy and comfy kind.

I rather be in the super hot place type. 

I would avoid super cold at all costs.

I rather jump around in frustration than to shiver at one spot. 

I rather feel alive and sweat it out than to feel like dying while freezing up. 

I want to get as much warmth as I can get with people around me complaining rather than to like thrown alone chilling in the silence as others were just too stiff to even make any noise.

Lastly, I know if I ever close my eyes in the scortching heat, I would wake up drenched and probably curse and swear at my sunburnt skin, whereas I thought I might not even open my eyes as I slip into the darkness ___________ (couldn't continue on)

So far

Another ranting? Not sure if this is considered one.

Having lots of thoughts, overflowing. Almost forgot there's this outlet here for me.

Still haven't decided on my (overseas) uni application yet.
I thought being in the army was an excuse for my procrastination.
I thought the fear of the unfamiliarity was the reason for my indecisiveness.
But I've realised it was my parents who couldn't bear to let me go.
I've mentioned to them about "my" plan last year. They avoided the question.
I never thought it would be "our" plan. Am I inconsiderate about their feelings?
Surely this is an opportunity not to be missed.
No matter how matter how many lifetimes my parent(s) work, they can never able to afford to send me overseas. (Less the option of loans from banks - I wouldn't want to be in debt for life)
On their perspective, they don't see it as necessary. True enough it's not a "must go", it's just a "good to go".
My presence at home somewhat reminds the family that at least there's someone sane around.


I want to go for another backpacking trip.
I want to go to Sentosa with great companions.
I want to 'zhng' my room.

Journey thus far.
Quite amazed with myself, completing several previously-thought-impossible tasks.
A little disappointed that I still haven't bulked up yet, confidence level still low. =(
In any case, I just hope I can complete this race. To show others that I can do it, to do my parents proud. I can do it.

There are many kinds of people you meet in army. Overwhelming. I just need to accept this cruel fact while finding blessings within it.

2 years (or 1yr 10mths in my case) is just too long. Not so much about boys to men. More of appreciating every little things you have around you. There are challenges, and much of them can be easily conquered with that slight change in attitude plus a little perseverance. This tip is applicable beyond army too.

Things are moving faster and faster. Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers.

Wants

IT Show this weekend!! Pray that I can book out smoothly to join the crowd at Suntec.

Feel like splurging on tech stuff again. (Keyword: FEEL)

LCD TV - for playing pleasure on my Xbox 360 and viewing pleasure to watch mainstream TV.

NAS (Network-attached Storage)  - to centralise media storage and enable torrent downloads without PC. 1TB HDD costs $99?? Irresistable.

RAM - Never enough.

Any camera-less + Wi-Fi handheld device to cure my net addiction in camp? =(

PS: I want to comission.
