A Medic In The SAF...

I got posted as a Medic, at Nee Soon camp. i do not know if I'm happy or sad at the new camp. Yes, I wanted to get out of 4SIR at Lim Chu Kang badly, but now that I'm out, I'm missing the place like crazy! It really is true, the pasture is always greener on the other side... The food and bunk here is beyond my description. It's just not to my liking at all. But they guyz are great, my bunk mates are a fun lot to be with. The sergeants are not too bad as well, but I can't help but miss those in my previous camp. 8 more weeks to go... I'm hoping to get an 8am-5pm posting after all this shit. Just hoping for such a miracle to happen.

Met up with Clare yesterday to fetch Kabi from Pasir Ris interchange. It was his 1st book-out. He still looks the same, and the hair-cut suits him well. We had a great time talking together with uncle. Kabi wasn't feeling that well, and was quite tired. We had coffee at starbucks before leaving for home. It was already quite late, so I sent Clare back to Boon Lay and took the same train back to Tampines. We spoke quite a bit on the train ride. She's just like another sister to me, & I hope she'll have her happiness soon... Waiting for the next meeting so that the 3 of us can have a blast again!

I seriously enjoy the time I spend together with them. Kabi has changed so much now, more caring and concerned. He's becoming more like how he was when we became Besties. Just hope it's how he's gonna be... Clare has also changed alot. In fact, all the reservations have gone & we were chatting like nobody's business while waiting for the maadu to book-out! Well, I'm enjoying their company now, I just don't want anything to change...

Gotta book-in tonight, and that will indicate the start of my long wait till the next book-out. Gosh! Is this how my next 2 years is gonna be like? I'd end up booking a permanent place at Hougang Chalet!(Institute of Mental Health) God!!! Please save me!!!

My Last Day Of Leave...

I'm feeling extremely moody.... Why? Because today's the last day of my block leave! SOBS! I've gotta book into camp again tomorrow morning. And yes, that same sickening feeling creeps in as usual. Actually, that feeling has become a routine for me during book in. 2 years to go.... Gosh.... How is it ever gonna pass?

My Hong Kong trip was a blast! Had so much fun Shopping! From Fashion Street to Men's Market, I shopped like never before! I bought myself so many shirts that I lost track of the quantity! Hahakz! I would have indulged myself in a shoe-buying spree as well, but my luggage was already filled to it's maximum storage possible & screaming out for more room! And the food! Boy was it cheap... I had as much as 10 egg tarts at one go. And they had this pork burger at Mcdonalds that was awesome! Yes, all their fast food restaurants serve pork and they tasted really good! (It wouldn't take a fool to know by now that the weighing scale is my enemy.) I really had so much fun with my mum. Laughing at everything, oh and I've gotta mention photo-taking. I took pictures like crazy, as if tomorrow never existed! But, don't tourists always have the advantage of taking photographs almost anywhere, no matter how nonsensical and still get away with it? *winks* Here are some pictures I took there...

That's me at "The Peak" in Hong Kong, the highest point there.

Shopping at night, that's Esprit's Flagship Store behind me...

My main reason for touring Hong Kong, LV's Flagship Store!!!!

At Hong Kong International Airport.

Well, I'm waiting for Kabi's 1st book out. Feel excited for him actually... Just glad he's coping well. I guess thta's all I have for this post. Take care ppl.

Before Kabi's Enlistment

I FINALLY met my bestie last nite! I booked out at around 9pm. It was the 1st time we were booking out on a Friday night. We'd usually book out only on Saturdays, so the bookout was cause for excitement for everyone in the company.. I shared a cab back home with Quek. And yes, almost all of my NS allowance is used up for my cab fare to and from the camp!!!

I walked in the middle of the night to the yerumai's(buffalo in Tamil) place. But it was kinda cool to be walking under the train tracks alone. Didn't have to bother about the traffic lights as I was the sole occupant of the roads I was crossing! He'd ordered Mcdonalds for dinner. Uncle came back at around 2am. Was really nice to see them after so long. The 3 of us spoke till 7am in the morning before I left. I was struggling to keep my eyes open as I was dying for sleep!

Met him again at about 6pm today. We had kfc this time round! Had to satisfy the cravings for Zinger! LOL! My obsession for food will only die with my soul! Hahakz! Uncle was at home too, he was sleeping. It would be the last time I'd be seeing him before he enlists for NS on Thursday.
Note to my Bestie: You'd definitely be fine da. Don't worry about anything. You're physically fit, and have your way with people. Work it right, and you'd be through BMT phase with ease da. All the best maadu! You'll alwayz have Clare & Me behind you da. We'll be waiting for your 1st bookout to have a blast! Take care pannu.

A Random Entry

I finally heard my bestie's voice after almost 3 months!!! But no, it didn't bring back any fond memories of the past, nor did it cause a breakdown. I felt a tinge in my heart when I answered the call, but it was probably due to having mixed feelings. There wasn't enthusiasm in his voice, which of course he has no reason to show, but maybe.... maybe it's just Me. I didn't feel like I was talking to my Bestie at all... That feeling of closeness, that bonding of rights over one another, they were all absent. Why???

Is it because my 3-month absence from his life hadn't changed him abit, or has the same period of time caused Shankar to be oblivious towards the most minute feelings he once had?

Well, had a meal at Pasta Mania with my sis today. We rarely get a chance to go out together. It was a combined lunch and dinner, had creamy chicken spaghetti. It's my all-time favourite. Tried their potato salad, which wasn't to my liking. Had a good chat, and came back home. I wanted to be home by 9pm to catch the last episode of "The Defining Moment". It's a Mandarin serial on Channel 8 that features Fann Wong & Pierre Png as the leads. (Yes, Shankar does watch Mandarin programmes). It's my favourite, liked the ending although it was totally predictable. You know, those happily-ever-after kinda fantasies that never occur in reality.

I'm wondering if there was anything significant to blog about...... Oh yeah! Vikku smsed me on one of the days last week. It was a short sms wishing me a speedy recovery. I was touched, seriously. I mean, yeah it was a random sms but, to think that he was actually so thoughtful...
Vikku, I don't know if you're gonna read this, but I just wanna say Thanx for your thought. It meant alot to me... Thanx da! :-)

I've gotta book in by 3pm tomorrow. That same sickening feeling of having to go back to camp creeps in all the time... Sigh...

(P.S: Ash, The Blue Eyes are doing fine! Hehehe! And I've decided they're gonna remain blue! Hahakz!)
