just went to the specialist again yesterday to check the foot for any rash, open wound etc etc. Found out that my skin is slightly allegic? to the cast...hence the bloody itch. haha. Kind Doc gave me 25 days MC! wohoo! so no work until 17 mar.

*i know i know...u buggers reading this are probably insanely jealous* but hey! having a cast is no joke and u know wat? frankly speaking, i don't care abt wat u pple are feeling, be it jealously or watever stuff.

Also got some anti itch medicine. works great....but causes extreme sleepiness. man...i'm going to be fat if this goes on for the month, juz eating and dozing all the time. Sheesh... No basketball! No badminton! No going out!!! Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *long scream of despair*

then again.... no guard duty! WOHOO!*great shout of joy*

well..going to do some self improvement these days. no pt wasting the 25 days. haha....let's see whether i can learn jap in those days. haha. Cya folks!

Happy Valentine's Day my friends

Valentine's Day...Blah...spending it at home nursing a still injured leg. went to AH yesterday after seeing Dr Yap. Possible fracture...and they put my leg in a cast...+ 4 days MC! They still say my burst blood vessels at the ankle haven't healed yet....great...

Bad thing? crutches cost 34 bucks!!! When the left leg itch....and i can't scratch it because of the *censored* cast....

Seeing the specialist on thursday since the doc at AH can;t tell from the x-rays whether it's a minor fracture or wat. probably would get more mcs...

can't believe i limped my way ard CNY like this...Then again comparing the pain i endured and the joy of meeting my cousins etc, i would say it was worth it.

Another Val. Day spent as a bachelor! :) haha!
Uncle Bob's house on Thurs. All I can say is that he's one hell of a lucky blackjacket player. Bankrupt almost everyone with his: 'Min $2 bet per game." He literally chased off half the players.

*tired*

man....don't feel so good here...over exhaustion after guard duty last night. a) had turn out, b) less sleep than i would like c) guided the bloody *censored* 6 SIR pple for prowling again.

do u know how blur i was after duty today? Mind could only concentrate on one task as shown below

Re-enactment:

Chief clerk N: victor, remember to take the norminal list from the med. centre later on when u collect item (a)

Me: ok mdm. np
(walks there and comes back)

CC: err...where's the list victor?

* me looks blankly at her*: err...wat list? then slowly...ever slowly..my brains start spluttering on again... ' oh..oops, haha...i forgot!' *faints*

haha...this happened not once, twice but thrice!( of course for 3 different lists at diff. time of the day) okok 2.5 times. third time i was halfway back b4 remembering it and had to make a u-turn to get the list.

*curses* can't they show the whole 6 SIR pple the prowling pts in camp??? as in set a day where everyone is shown the pts? id it too much to ask? how long must we carry on playing as guides? Where the *again censored* were they, the officers/pple i/c of the duty stuff, when brains were being passed out? Then again, with such a 'great and intellegent' CSM like ting thiong bell i/c, what is there to expect? i mean even a cow has more brains than him. lousy piece of trash!

1 piece of news though! the KOPI BING is back in the mess! oh sweet coffee, save me! haha. had 1 packet + a mentos to perk myself up.

notice the effort i'm putting in trying to avoid swear words? haha. trying to be more err...refined. haha

feel like puking...better go to bed b4 i collaspe in front of my comp. need to...sleep...shutting down...

Colour me Depressed

Juz spent the whole day doing despatch over Singapore....from 1030am tp 520pm. Actually it's not that bad...but...

a) mini-bus - no aircon, fan spoilt
b) sun was bloody hot. roasting for 6 over hrs in the front seat
c) max speed the bus can go? 50km/h
d) 9 places to go- toa payoh, serangoon, jurong (PLC), china town, bedok etc etc - argh!

also got my duty forecast for next month...cb...one on valentine's day...super suay. was also thinking of taking off that day. nb. at least found a splendid cheating matter. *evil laughter*

sigh...kind of thinking abt something, putting a few pieces of a little puzzle together. and the results are very depressing for me. damm it! curse army life for interrupting my life. curse maju camp for all the duties they threw at the NSFs. dammation.

4hrs

spent 4hrs playing bb today at NP...argh. Tired...now suffering a bloody headache.

at least the weather was perfect, the sun mostly hidden by the clouds from 10 - 1.30 or so. last 1/2 hr was a bit hot.

Saw ivan woo while playing. Very skinny fellow & he smokes! That kind of lowered my impression of him, not that it was very high in the 1st place. Anyway none of us bothered abt him. haha....he still owns ivan? john? some money. Can't stand jerks that dun return things they borrow. low lifes, low morales, scrums.

listening to the various relaxing sound tracks from the final fantasy series. As ever when listening to them, i feel more at ease/peace.

Argh...i'm fat. Think i have a really really slow metabolism rate. Guess i have to tighten my diet and do sit ups as usual. let's see whether i can keep to it.. haha.

Common Misconceptions

I've noticed 2 very common things pple almost always say abt me

1) i look young aka *childish etc etc*
2) i'm rich

1st one...well...i guess i'm guilty as charged. But i am trying to change u know. Then again my bro also faces a similar comment. except he isn't childish. Guess we take after our mother's side. I've noticed that my uncles, aunties, grandma mostly look younger than their true age. blah...sick of bus conductors, 7-11 pple, movie ticket collectors asking to see my IC to check my age!

I juz dun know why pple think i'm rich. I'm juz an average normal *some would argue abt the normal bit* person. not rich, but not poor. I guess they think if my parents own a car, we live in private property = rich?

a) the cars are pretty old....well...1 new 1 old.
b)The house? hasn't been renovated since my parents got it from my grandparents like 20+ yrs ago?

well..i've seen both the poor & rich personally. A few relatives where everyone is bunched up together & a friend who err...lives in a super big house etc etc. So stop saying i'm rich lah! Average! Average! that's all! *bad english here i know!*

Phew!

juz went to the NP open house. Quite a huge scope of stuff presented there. guess i'm too used to JC style where only CCAs are being advertised ard. Anyway, didn't really meet the pple i hoped to see but saw one or 2 here& there. Sigh..

added the err...free chatterbox. hope it works. last one conked out on me. Sheesh, never was good at html stuff.

Going clubbing again....at china black. ed's idea. say wat a NUS bash and he wants to check it out. me thinks he too desperate to look for girls. haha. Then again i guess the same could be said abt me. If not why would i be following him? *laughs*

OFF!!!

Got over my dark moody bout. anyway yes! tomorrow off! that means no camp until monday! only thing bad is monday another guard duty, which is ok with me. i'm cool with it, too used already i guess. Thinking of getting the ipod shuffle? at $178 it seems pretty cheap. BUT i'm broke! Juz paid up for the comp course ed & i are taking. nice cool $331 gone. that's err...*calculates* 85% of my allowance gone. Sigh...need to save a wee bit more i guess. *grunt*

Contemplative mood part 1

Feel slightly moody & comtemplative today..sigh..
writing a blog reminds me something abt lit concerning paul chow's paper on biography & autobiography. Knowing my friends would read this blog, how many of the stuff here are truly real? Can't really express wat i truly feel, can't scold vulgarities so much *trying to cut down now*. See? Even now i must keep an image of a nice person. haha.


Then again, i really miss schooling. I had friends whose company i mostly enjoyed. Maybe that's why i'm feeling in the slumps now. I mean army is really not a place to widen your social circle. It's the same routine day in and out. Feels like part of my soul is missing? empty?

Of all the friends i had since primary school - JC, it seems to me i'm losing more of them day by day. Primary school - only still in touch with boyan. Seconday school - the best time which i made many friends, many whom i'm still in contact with. JC? I know i'm slowly losing touch with my friends there.

Is it the loneliness that's bugging me? Then again i've always been a loner at times, so why is it bothering me now? The gang & i've always joked abt being bachelors etc etc and getting out of the 'club'. Maybe it's time i got out of my little playing acting personality and grow up more. I tire of it. I mean i'm going to be like 20 this yr man! Can't act the little kid anymore.

Back to camp tomorrow. Damm.
