Story of the 4 'Body-s'
There's a job to be done that Anybody could have done it. However, Everybody thought that Somebody would do it. Thus, in the end, Nobody did it.

Tired. After 4 straight days of studying, I can feel how much it has weighted me down. Now I'm starting to worry how am I to cope with the pace of Uni studies.
By the way, a story:
There's this girl, G, who's rich and very kind (totally opposite of the rich n meanie type). So one day while she was crossing the road, she noticed that an elderly woman was having some trouble and offered to help her. Needless to say, the old lady was very touched by her kind gesture and told her some stories about her life, like how her children wasn't willing to look after her and how hard she is trying to cope with life currently.
G, being the very nice and helpful person she is, offered a listening ear, to the extent of visiting this old lady weekly at the old folks home.
This went on for a couple of months but finally, time caught up with the old lady. So, at her funeral, G was there too, together with all the lady's children when the lawyer read out her will.
Ta-da! G got the most of the lady's money as compared to any of her other children, which, pissed them off naturally. But a will is a will and it will not be changed. And the money she got, which is like a quarter of a million, is donated to charity (I did mention G is rich).
Moral of the story: Do a good deed, help old ladies off the street. (True life story as told by my sister, who heard it from her classmate, who said it happened to her friend).

| You Are Sunrise |
You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary.
You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward.
Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts.
All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be. |

Sleeping to much in camp has bad side effects like being lethargic whenever I'm at home or outside for almost the whole day. After I wake up, my back still aches, my mouth can't stop yawning and I so wanna go back to sleep. Zzz..
And it's back to hitting the books. Studying for Capital Markets & Financial Advisory Services examinations. Could well be on my way to be a certified financial adviser. Woo hoo.
Mug mug mug.

| You Are 1: The Reformer |
You're a responsible person - with a clear sense of right and wrong.
High standards are important to you, and you do everything to meet them.
You are your own worst critic, feeling ashamed if you're not perfect.
You have the highest integrity, and people expect you to be fair. |

What am I to update after an uneventful week in camp?
Hmm, let's start with I got half of my platoon people to get hooked on Bang! and Munchkin. Basically did nothing much but play, eat & sleep. Duty yesterday was horrible!! Because we shifted to a newly renovated temporary office, there's nothing to do there! No computer to play with, no radio to listen to & no television to watch! But the air con is good. Freaking cold.
Will try to update more this weekend ^^

Watched Newcastle's match against Tottenham last night. What a win. Though it was simply a makeshift team, and Newc had to endure waves after waves after waves of Tot attacks, we managed to scrape through with a 3-2 victory.
It just goes to show that even when your team is down, you not out unless you think you're out. Sheer display of determination & perseverance.
And I just realised, the diving dates that I'm looking at, clashes with my guitar examination. Zzz. Will just have to postpone it by a week. I'm sooo looking forward to it. Still finding khakis too!

Another BBQ today. My 5th weekend of bbq consecutively. Let's recap:
16th Dec, Uncle's bbq at Downtown East
23rd Dec, Bbq at my house with OCIP peeps
30th Dec, Bbq at my house with extended family & family friends
6th Jan, Aisyah's bbq at Downtown East
13th Jan, Cassie's farewell bbq at her house.
I guess that's enough unhealthy food to last for a year!
Eating with stitches is troublesome and slow. I am only munching my food with the left side, thus my already slow eating speed is reduced by half, again. And am like swallowing 8 pills each meal -_-
Diving plans are getting more concrete. More or less settled on the start date of 5th of Mar. Gonna learn both the Basic & Advanced PADI Open Water. Really excited!! Then already thought of what specialities to follow up after:
Deep Diver
Wreck Diver
Underwater Navigator
Peak Bouyancy Performance
Enriched Air
Night Diver
Boat Diver
Drift Diver
Omg, ok, too many. Just 5 out of these few. =p
Guitar! Die lar. Grade 9 guitar exam is coming right up the corner!!! 17th Mar to be exact. Didn't really expect myself to be continuing guitar lessons for so long, much less taking exams. I would say I'm still barely passable, still got about 2 months more to work hard and not let my examinations fees go to waste. Been learning it for over a year now, I should be proud of myself man. Yea!

Early in the morning, while waiting for the time to pass to head down to NDC, surfed DBS website and found out this other website: www.comgateway.com So cool. It provides you with an American address so that when you buy stuff from US websites, they can send it to that address while the website will later send it to me.
Such an interesting thing, of course I had to try it with my new supplement card courtesy of my mom. Purchased $30+ worth of Munchkin stuff not avaliable in Singapore. Looking forward to receiving my package soon.
Plucked my wisdom teeth le. Finally my 11B is put to good use. 325 surgery, fully subsidised. 11.20 medcine, partially subsidised to 6.60. It's still bleeding, and I can feel the stiches. More porridge to come these days.

Ah, it sure feels good to be back home again. Had duty on Sunday thus my weekend was super short.
Gonna remove my wisdom teeth tomorrow. Abit anxious about it but I hope it will turn out all right.
Basically played Munchkin every single avaliable free time, which is to say almost the whole day, for the past 3 days in camp. It beats Bang! hands down in popularity. Haha.

Booking in tonight. Not exactly how I wanted to start the year, but it's okay!
Went by the airport recently. T1's canteen is closed! Gasp! My favourite haunt when I was back studying for A's and working at DFS. Security is beefed up too. Even the entrance to the terminal are blocked by barriers and police humps.
Looking forward to the weekend. Yay.

Bought a few new games over the weekend to play. Great games really. Fun for groups.
Munchkin
By: Steve Jackson
Go down in the dungeon. Kill everything you meet. Backstab your friends and steal their stuff. Grab the treasure and run.
Admit it. You love it.
This stand-alone game captures the dungeon experience... with none of that stupid roleplaying stuff. All you have to do is kill monsters and grab magic items. And what magic items! Don the Horny Helmet and the Boots of Butt-Kicking. Wield the Staff of Napalm... or maybe the Chainsaw of Bloody Dismemberment. Start by slaughtering the Potted Plant and the Drooling Slime, and work your way up to the Plutonium Dragon....
Fast-playing and silly, Munchkin can reduce any roleplaying group to hysteria. And, while they're laughing, you can steal their stuff.
Dividends
By: Nikki Lim
Make your fortune on the volatile stock market through stock buying to earn dividend payouts or selling for profits (capital gains). The key to success in this game lies in a player’s ability to make the most money from each stock purchase (maximizing return on investment) while taking into consideration the effects of supply and demand on stock prices (market economics). While being the first-mover confers tremendous advantage, exercising major shareholder influence on dividend payouts can perhaps give a player the added edge towards financial victory!
Bang!
By: Emiliano Sciarra
The Outlaws hunt the Sheriff. The Sheriff hunts the Outlaws. The Renegade plots secretly, ready to take one side or the other. Bullets fly. Who among the gunmen is a Deputy, ready to sacrifice himself for the Sheriff? And who is a merciless Outlaw, willing to kill him? If you want to find out, just draw (your cards)!
Landlord!
By: Friedemann Friese
Build apartment houses, rent them to tenants, and collect the rent. Sounds simple, but in Landlord every card gives you two options for play: one side is an apartment, the other has tenants, roofs (gotta have those when you build), cellars, renovations, and special actions. Move the wealthy tenants to your apartments and put the deadbeats in your opponents'. You can even bomb apartments, but don't get caught: jail awaits those who are careless!
