almost time to cry goodbye

can it be true? two more days until i get out of national service?

i can still remember my first day at tekong

the joy at clementi

the sweat at changi

and the work at tuas.

every single bit is etched so firmly in my mind. i could almost take the salt in the air, feel the heat on my skin and the crunch of gravel. im leaving it all behind... and its bloody well about time! the next few months hold much in store for me, and i shall write a list to keep track of everything. hopefully i can accomplish everything im recording right here.

1) learn driving

2) get in shape

3) quit smoking

4) go europe, america and australia

a very long and intimidating list, but then again i can be very determind(some say stubborn, but what do they know) when i put my mind to something. some very interesting things happened this week!

monday i went back to camp and met danial my platoon sergeant. i went to collect my clearance form... he went because he didnt know our platoon was on off. HA. we smoked and talked cock in the bunk(as in we smoked at the smoking corner, THEN went to the bunk to chat... although that would be pretty cool...), remembering good ol times both in ssc and tuas. then we left camp at 830 am! my earliest ever, and isnt it just typical that i zao until so powerful ONE WEEK before i ord? > <

thursday went back to camp for my dental and ran around doing signatures. i love my xo hes such a nice guy. and easy to respect too. met kevin, jian bitch and justin my batch boys all doing their clearance!!! good to see them. they were like ZOMG YOUR ALIIIIIIVVVEEEE. 60+ days of mc ftw! cabbed home with kevin and made plans for friday evening. after all we havnt really gone out in like a year or so.

friday afternoon i went to the gym to work out a bit, my lethargy was bordering on self-destruction after so long. met jerome there and we chatted at the delhi after gyming. friday night me and kev hit serene centre for Macs. i know its a strange place for dinner with a great friend, but me and kev have this... tradition! see, back in ssc, everytime after we book out on friday night wed cab back to my place, order some macs and down beers like there was no tomorrow. it was tons of fun, and we wanted to do it again. SO we ordered our mega mcspicys and sat down to chow down.

30 min later our mouths were burning, our stomachs were roiling and we swore off mcspicys forever.

walked to crown for guiness(which kev loved, who wouldnt?!?!) and talked until he had to go. his friends were going zouk because they were leaving for overseas study next week and he didnt wanna be late. i was cool with it, because MY friends are going overseas later this year too, so i knew that it was important for him to spend as much time as possible with them before they left for places elsewhere.

saturday i fell asleep at around 5pm and slept until 8am. HAHA YES THATS CRAAAAAZZZZYYYY but i was so tired from friday because i l4ded with mio and the rest until like 330 am. felt really refreshed though!

well, thats it for me. tomorrow gotta get my butt to camp to do more clearance and stuff, so yesh hopefully can grab dinner with someone. TILL TOOSDAY... LOOK OUT WORLD, IM A FREE MAN!!!

Train's Hey Soul Sister

The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind
