Went to YY's City Havest Church cell group bbq on Sat night. It was, well, hospitable, the people i meant. Of course they did invite me to their sevice but I must say I am a devout free thinker. Ahaha. In fact, I even cycled to the bbq spot at Pasir Ris park. This itself is a feat, considering that I have NEVER touched my bicycle anymore after I 1st bought it about 6 years ago. But I pulled it off successfully =]
Didn't expect to meet a junior of mine there. It was a pleasant surprise as it meant company for me, not sure about her though, might be pestering her! Lol. But I'm not interested to know about it. So we chatted for some time about school, friends and life. It brought back wonderful memories and I'm all ready looking forward to create more memorable experiences in the future.
By the way, Cal, didn't know you actually have Grade 8 for piano! I was pretty awed by it. Not many people can survive till then. Reflecting on my guitar, it's.. abit pathetic. My teacher always mentioned about some guitar examination and I have absolutely no idea how to take it with my current skill level of almost 2 out of 10 proficiency.
Not forgetting, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAB! Haha, like I smsed you, another year older! Muahahah. Turning another year older on Sun, we are now, by birthdate, the same age! It sometimes still amazes me the number of years I've known you, almost 5? Haha. The saying that friendship can last a lifetime whereas love or past love seldom can is so true. Seriously, how many people still keep in close contact with their ex-es? But maybe the person whom I'm known the longest and is still more or less in contact is Valerie ba? Ever since my time at Tampines FSC when I was in P4. that makes 10 years. Used to hold a torch for her, which was SOOOO adolescence puppy love and never reciprocated. Makes me look back and laugh at myself.
Remember the guy that pushed his ex-girlfriend of the Clementi MRT platform? Seriously, a double degree holder, ASEAN undergraduate scholar, he's nuts. Come on, if you can't handle the stress of a relationship, don't get into one. Fancy pushing a lady, down to the tracks. If she was injured, or even worst, may God bless him.
Last week during my exercise outfield, was suddenly told that Thailand is in turmoil. Thaksin declared a state of emergency and the military apparently took over the government with the support of the King and Queen. It came as a surprise to us and suddenly our mid-Oct trip to Crescendo was in doubts. The situation there now at least is somewhat better and hopefully they can elect a new government soon and we will still head to Crescendo. I really do not wish to do etap 2 in Singapore as I have got too many things planned for all the off in lieu/block leave starting Nov!!!
It's exactly 2 weeks and 2 days before I would be flying off the Thailand, if we are still going that is. Although life is army is tough, I believed it did made a stronger person out of me. Not going to command school was bad, but it's not the worst. I'm certain there are many more obstacles out there in future that will made the incident look small in comparison and I'm going to have to deal with it. At least I'll never forget the friends made and the times spent. The shit, rain, sun, sweat, blood, scars and friendship we all went through. The pinnacle is coming.
Narrowing down my choices of courses to take up after I ORD. Most likely, will take a part time diploma in either Counselling Psychology, Psychology or Business/Finance. The reason I have to keep up options open is because of the courses timings. If they do not fit, of course I need to change it. More or less certain that I'll try and find relief teaching when i ORD too. Can't wait to start Spanish lessons with my Sis too, hoping there would be new beginner courses starting Nov/Dec.
Is this post abit long? Am typing it paragraph by paragraph when I stop to train in Maplestory. Hehe. How long more? I don't know. Carry on~A closer friend in army told me last week, that I don't really have much friends in army. Being unhappy about his comment at first, I realised it spoke volumes of truth. The only closer friends I have can be counted with 1 hand or less. There used to be another. But at the turn of the year thereabouts, the things we shared changed. Hobbies being different, interests different, we drifted apart. I did feel sad about it as we used to had so much to talk about, girls, clothes, how we spent our weekends etc. I would always go to his bunk to find him and sit by his bed, but now it has been reduced to superficial talk. Blah.
Finding myself loving to plan things. Not plan my life but more like plan outings, events etc. Earlier in the day just smsed yumei asking her if she was willing to help me plan an Xmas party/celebration for us ocip peeps. Of course she agreed, and so, shall take a week or so to plan it out in further detail. My house really is THE place for gatherings. Haha. Chinese New Year I would usually welcome my college classmates and we would chat almost the whole afternoon, pactically summarising the past year's happenings. Special occasions would usually be for ocip peeps or my council buddies. The only thing that my house doesn't offer is a place for projects! YAY! It's all about having fun!
Thinking of changing my blog skin soon. Shall ask my Sis to help me find nice skins ^^
Think I shall end here. Enough rumblings for a day, actually should be a few weeks of rumblings all complied in 1 day. Haha.
Take care~~~
