Get to know yourself better
Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.
The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.
Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.
The seriousness of your love:
You like to flirt and behave seductively. The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?
Your views on education
You may not like to study but you have many practical ideas. You listen to your own instincts and tend to follow your heart, so you will probably end up with an unusual job.
The right job for you:
You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:
You are confident that you will be successful in your chosen career and nothing will stop you from trying.
What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.
Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.
Your Working Style
You are extremely dependable and have a complete, realistic, and practical respect for the facts. You absorb, remember, and use any number of facts and are careful about your accuracy. When you see that something needs to be done, you accept the responsibility, often beyond the call of duty. You like everything clearly stated.
Your private reactions, which seldom show in your face, are often vivid and intense. Even when dealing with a crisis you look calm and composed. Behind your outer calm you are viewing the situation from an intensely individual angle. When you are "on duty" and dealing with the world, however, your behavior is sound and sensible.
You are thorough, painstaking, systematic, hard-working, and careful with particulars and procedures. Your perseverance tends to stabilize everything with which you are connected. You do not enter into things impulsively, but once committed, you are very hard to distract or discourage.
You often choose careers where your talents for organization and accuracy are rewarded. Examples are accounting, civil engineering, law, production, construction, health careers, and office work. You often move into supervisory and management roles.
If you are in charge of something, your practical judgment and valuing of procedure makes you consistent and conservative, assembling the necessary facts to support your evaluations and decisions. You look for Solutions to present problems in your successes of the past. With time you become masters of even the smallest elements of your work, but don't give yourself any special credit for this knowledge.
You may encounter problems if you expect everyone to be as logical and analytical as you are. You then run the danger of inappropriately passing judgment on others or overriding less forceful people. A useful rule is to use your thinking to make your perceptions about inanimate objects or your own behavior, and to use your perception to understand others. If you use your senses to see what really matters to others, so that it becomes a fact to be respected, you may go to generous lengths to help.
Another problem may arise if your thinking remains undeveloped. You may retreat, becoming absorbed with your inner reactions to sense-impressions, with nothing of value being produced. You may also tend to be somewhat suspicious of imagination and intuition, and not take it seriously enough.

I'm home! Ahaha. one day than the usual Friday. And it's for a good cause. I'm going for SMU interview tomorrow~ Having missed 2 previous sessions, they still bothered to call me again thus I felt abit obliged to go for it.
Also, received my acceptance letter from NUS to their Faculty of Arts and Social Science. Shall put the confirmation 'tick' on hold for awhile while I debate over which Uni to choose from.
Pasir Ris - Punggol GRC is being contested! Sadly, not my turn to vote yet. Wasn't really expecting my constituency to be contested as there was like absolutely no signs of it for the past few days. But I heard it over the radio in the afternoon and as soon as i got off my station at Pasir Ris heading right, the signs are there immediately. "Vote for SDA".
Not my turn to vote yet thus shall not be quite bothered about it. SM and MM as expected was not contested but Ang Mo Kio is, which belongs to PM. It should nonetheless see a win no matter what. Leading the opposition party in the GRC is a 29 year old businessman, how is he going to compete with PM?
Elections in 9 days!

Just back from field camp and I had to fall sick. Maybe it is a good thing that I have yet to have a fever, currently only having a flu and cough.

hmmm, cost of wavefront lasik: $3255. maybe i wun do it in singapore. probably follow my aunt's step and have it done at malaysia, RM$3200. Woo hoo. That's like half the price?
then, maybe i wun take up the ppcdl course afterall.Was thinking, isn't really practical cuz i still need to have this and that membership to charter a yacht and who is gonna pay for it? so maybe i'll go into something else.. like scuba diving!
kayaking is more or less confirmed already, so shall use the money for that 1st.
saving saving saving... save small today, big money for tomorrow..
woo hoo. have gotten my pay already. so now i have like 505 in my bank. which is absolutely pathetic. but nvm, must not forget my bearings. i forsee 2 weekends of loneliness already therefore i only have another 2 weeks before 9th may ^^
so here's how i intend to spent on what's neccesary and save:
120 - guitar & saye
100 - uob acct
50 - take out in cash
50 - normal expenses
so by the next pay day, i should, SHOULD have 180. and by giving myself some leeway i hope to have 150 by then.
rem: save small today, big money for tomorrow..
思念是一种病 {7:34 pm}
Hmmm, how I long for a companion. Or maybe a gf? Haha. But nah. Time is too precious. I neither have the time nor money that will allow for one.
Onward for my BIG saving plan. Ok, not any big plans really, just to save another $50 from each monthly pay.

Haha. Received a letter from the National Youth Council to attend some Brunch session with Dr Vivian Balakrisnan. Oh well. Maybe I'll go. Too boring to simply stay at home.
Completion of Nurul surprise birthday celebration. Happy birthday girl!
Can't even remember the last time since I had such a wonderful thing happening to myself.

this feels so empty, so very empty.
思念是一种病 {2:32 pm}
click on the image ^^Based on the drawing and the 10 answers they gave this is a summary of their personality:
You are sensitive and indecisive at times. You are good at making friends and when the joyful moment arrives, you make the most out of it. You love your house and family. You are a gifted artist as well. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. Your life is always full of changes. Once you have a problem, you need a friend with you. son.
You will avoid being alone and seek the company of others whenever possible. You love excitement and create it wherever you go. You have a strong personality and you like to command, influence and control people.
You are not a romantic person by nature. It also safe to say that others don't see you as a flirt. You don't think much about yourself.
Ok, I'm pretty amazed. Just by drawing a simple house, it's personality breakdown is pretty true. Then again, it might just be a coincidence.

woo hoo~ Received a 500 sponsorship from D&M finance. And that's to pay for my PPCDL and future driving lessons. No matter what, I really should start saving.
a list for what I would be saving up for:
-lasik =p no more contact nor specs~
-new phone after i ORD
-travel overseas
-books
-courses to enrich thyself
All of which cost money. So the greater question:"Which came 1st, making money or spending money? "
思念是一种病 {10:03 pm}
Aww crap. What luck. 1st my parents are going overseas tomorrow for a whole week while I have to suffer in camp, and now, I'm selected or rather arrowed to be Sunday's Office Orderly. Considering that it is a Sun, most likely I will just have got nothing to do. Thus a simple waste of my precious time.
Sian.

Woo Hoo!
Sudden burst of interest in YACHTING! Yeah. you read it right, it's yachting. But it's kinda not really cheap also. Around $300 to get a Pleasure Powered Craft Driving License (PPCDL), $50 + $10 monthly for SAF Yacht Club membership and $100 to charter the cheapest yacht for 4 hours, which I think is pretty reasonable! And it's like way cool!
"Hey, let's go somewhere," i asked.
"Where to? Singapore's so boring!" answers friend X.
"Out to sea! On a yacht!"
"Are you out of your mind?"
"Am not! Look at this (*flashes PPCDL)"
Wahahahaha. Am fantasising about it already. And if I really get into this, I'll have my foot in 3 things? Guitar, driving and this. And just realised I'm very very low on funds. No proper saving and yet I wanna do so many things. Argh. Stupid NS.
I need to find a proper job and earn decent money!

I'm Home! Muahaha. The details shall not be known for it is sacred.
Anyway, I finally understand why the meaning of
'jia de wen luan'. It really doesn't matter if my house is new or old, nicely furnished or sparsely done, it really doesn't matter. All it matters is I'm home.
Guess not many people will understand what I am feeling here. It takes weeks and weeks of only being able to get 2 winks per week at home, in the comfort of your own bed to experience what i am going through.
Not really doing much these days, but still, anything in camp, in bunk is just plain sucky. Feeling myself with books, done with
Flesh and Blood, that thick book that had it pages turned yellow. Well well, what do you know, the main character in it is a psychologist! From a clinical one to that of a consultant to the police. And, the current book i'm reading
Flowers for Algeron, is also more or less about psychology. Interested books I must say.
My thrist for knowledge must carry on~

please pray for me, that a repeat of last week in camp will not happen.
it's just 2 years of ns, and i'm already done with 1/2 of it.
let time pass quickly, asap.

Driving gives me a sense of being in control. Whether I want it fast, slow, jerky, smooth, etc etc, it's all within my control.
Could be due to the fact that I only drive once a week therefore the feeling is great each time I step into the Lancer. Making it obey my every move is but part of the package.
And perhaps, it's one of the only things I look forward to each weekend.

suddenly i'm into this reading books mood. frankly, i haven read a proper book since...... sing to the dawn? of shakespeare, my sec 1 & 2 lit books.
so since i entered ns, after reading rich dad, poor dad and many other books on stocks on stuff, realised that i do have the aptitute to read! so on and on, i carry on reading. there's this pretty thick book that i used as a step when i'm practicing my guitar, the pages are getting brownish from age (it's been like since sec 3/4 ?) i can actually digest it's content. haha.
maybe it comes with age. am getting old. and tomorrow, will be a better day =]

As much as I can, I shall try to not blog about army stuff. Because it's something I don't really want to be associated with
anymore.
But for the record, am experiencing the following currently.
*When in camp*
-sian
-isolating myself
-no motivation to do anything
-just wanna go back home and not stay in camp
*When back at home after book out*
-sian
-not wanting to watch tv
-not wanting to use the computer
-not interested to play games
-not interested to do anything
And in a twink of the eye, it's back to the miracle Sunday, book in day. The process repeats itself.
the above is courtesy of weiqi, thank you, for enlightening me on how I was feeling cuz I had absolutely no idea how to describe it previously.
