"Here we go again.."

Booking in at 5.20 today and I'm sitting here trying to do another blog entry before it's time to zao to that island for yet another week.. or at least I'm assuming it's a week, the last time I checked the training schedule was about 2 weeks ago and well, with CNY and stuff like field camp, you just don't look that far into the future.

Not too long ago I was still thinking that I've pretty much ran out of things to blog about since I spend most of my time isolated from the rest of the world and almost everything we do in there is supposed to be confidential. But after blog surfing abit yesterday I kinda found myself again haha. I'm able to think again!

Yea, a bit drama but NS has been quite emotional for me so far. Doing all sorts of different things, meeting different people, getting thrown in different situations, even listening to the stuff the commanders say.. it can be quite queer, the emotions that you experience. But honestly, all these tend to only come upon reflection and looking back.. in that moment itself, it usually feels like shit haha.

Oh well.. gotta run... "...Same ol' shit again!"

CNY

hey hey! 新年快乐 everyone, here's to a good year ahead *cheers* *yam seng*

Well then, since I've got to do my reflections later today (8th Feb, past 12 alr) after I wake up, I shall do my blogging today. So fast it's been 4 weeks since I've enlisted and I've already gone through 2 book-outs without posting an entry, but it couldn't be helped I guess - the first one was a long awaited one that we counted down to every single day and was spent catching up with friends (had dinner with yiwen, vaish and woo han at cafe iguana, matt had to leave early and the rest just pangseh-ed as usual), family, and buying stuff at the army market. The second one was even more rush, had only 25 hours or so and I spent half of it sleeping trying to recover from a bloody flu that's worse than the normal "tekong cough" bah.. in fact I've still not recovered even after finishing a course of antibiotics..zzz

Anyway, enough about that, it's Chinese New Year! But this year feels very different. I'm appreciating this holiday more than ever but it's because of the long break that it brings rather than the festivities associated with it. This year I just don't feel the typical CNY joy and festive spirit.. maybe cause I've spent too much time away from the mainland then never see much decorations or hear those unmistakable tunes to get me in the mood..

Sigh, it's getting late and I'm not sure what else to talk about.. maybe after I finish packing all my stuff and am well rested ba.. in the mean time, here's a photo of my phone!
