Crossed one hurdle in life

Oops, I realised that I have not updated my blog for a long time. Hmm, I shall not dwell on the reason for failing to do so as my explanation will be plain obvious. By the way, I have been constantly reminding myself to write on my blog on how scatterbrain I could be these days. Ironically, I could even forget to write on my scatterbrain incidents here. It just shows how forgetful I can be these days. However, I would never forget to chase tutorials from my students. (Gary, you can’t escape from my fingers.) On a serious tone, do forgive me if I can forget anything important especially to my fellow friends as I have too much administrative things to handle in camps (I am serious abt it !!!- for those who thinks NS is slack). As a result, my brain has been trying to prove that the ‘law of diminishing mariginal returns’ is true. For instance, I could struggle to remember the signs of ‘no waiting’ and ‘no stopping’ for more than 3 times.  Argh, I guess my brain is moaning in pain after I utilise it for some many years. Thus, I seek your understanding if I ever commit foolhardy acts.

For those who are observant in reading my blog, I should not post entry in my blog on this date as I should be in camp. Well, I book out from camp in order to sit for my basic driving theory test. Sadly, I will have to return back camp in 1 hour time.  By the way, I passed my basic driving theory test even though I have no confidence in it due to my last minute struggle in regurgitating my theory book.

Feeling nervous

Finally, I have served 9 months of National Service. I have 1 year 1 month more of National Service stint. Anyway, I am feeling nervous now as I am going for range tomorrow. This fear was ingrained on me ever since I misfire in IMT when I was a recruit. I really pray that everything will be smooth tomorrow (IMT) and Thursday (Rifle Range). If not, I could be charged heavily which is not what I desired.

 On a lighter note, I would like to comment that life is indeed full of surprises. Sometimes, you may have planned what you want to do for the day. Yet, it turns out otherwise. For instance, I have never anticipated to meet Shyam at Choa Chu Kang MRT station on Friday evening. He told me that his camp is at Sungei Gedong. I was indeed shocked about this fact as I will always take a bus that goes to my camp and passes by Sungei Gedong camp. Yet, I have not met him on bus till then. Ironically, I could only meet him at CCK MRT station at that ungodly timing.  In my opinion, everything is predestined. There is no point changing your fate. Oops, my topic seems to be off-tangent. Well, I have better stop writing and bless me with a enjoyable week in camp with no unpleasant incident(s) cast(s) on me.

Privilege: A short civilian life

After much pleading, I could book out yesterday night to get morning off from work. It is indeed refreshing as I have not taken off in the morning for a long time (perhaps none at all) to enjoy civilian life. At this moment, I keep recalling the good days I had in this period of time of the previous year. At that time, I will wake up at around 7 am in anticipation for calls from schools to employ me for relief teaching for the day. Now, I will wake up at 5:45 for my 5BX if I am in camp with no desire to anticipate anything for the day. Worst of all, it will be something omnious for me to anticipate things to do when I am in camp. In short, life being a civilian is sacrosanct to me. I will treasure every moment I had in civilian world in order to comfort myself when I am down in camp.

By the way, I took off in the morning in order to return to my alma mater. I was indeed elated to be able to meet my inspiring Geography teacher – Mrs Fong.  Hmm, I got to return to camp in a short while. Thus, I shall not dwell on it anymore.
