one day more!

And just like, another saturday's down. And I'm one day closer to disruption! *prances around the room*

Returned from Ms Tang's wedding at Calvary Bible-Presbyterian Church. She looked absolutely drop dead gorgeous - and I do mean it this time. The wedding was a traditional church wedding, with the recitation of verses and whatnot and I just thought "wow, I'd like something like that for my own wedding!", though that isn't going to come anytime soon. Feasted on the wonderful spread at the church with the 71 people before heading back home. It's quite a pity how we didn't get to talk to Ms Tang more, 'cause she's just such a nice teacher and now that she's already left hwachong we can't get in contact with her so easily, sigh. A pity, indeed.

I hate the way my brother chooses to blast his bass guitar in the room whenever I'm in the room. At least I keep my piano playing in the living room!!! Ugh. He gets on my nerves and he's partially the reason why I'm absolutely dying to get my own room - and I jolly well will when I stay at the hall residences this year! Yay. Should be tons of fun.

Another exercise outfield awaits me this week and though it's only 3 days long, we've had to do loads of preparations. Booking in at 5.15pm tomorrow's a pain in the neck as usual, but I'll live. Afterall, it's only this week before I clear my off on monday and tuesday on the last week of june! Yay! I'll talk to Staff Lau tomorrow to see if I can clear my leave on thursday and friday too just so that I get lost asap. YEAH.

I'm leaving on a jet plane, baby.

"Local medicine disruption scheme...refer to routine order."

That sent me rushing to the company office after that to check out what was with the scheme...and as it turns out, I'm getting disrupted! YIPPEE. That means all the driving lessons, tennis lessons, tuition (to earn my keep 'cause dad is insistent about *weaning* me off his list of dependents), piano lessons can start a-planning already. Hooray! All that's left is to collect the forms from the manpower officer and sign them by 13th June before I pat myself on the back for a job well done.

I've been outfield the whole of the past week. Mosquitoes are absolutely ravenous, I tell you. There's no stopping them from sucking your blood dry when you're out there. My friend swore he saw a mosquito land on his mosquito coil - and still bloody blasted survive to suck a few more pints of his blood. Gee! Ferocious little bugs, they are. My hands are already ravaged by those puny little buggers. Red spots all over.

And I'm going to be outfield for the next two weeks. -.-''' Seriously, what on earth did I do wrong to deserve this?

I think I'll still stick to my mosquito coils and insect repellent. One can never be too safe.

Hide me now, under your wings.

SO-o much has transpired over the past week and next week promises to be even busier for me...well, sort of. Have been arrowed to do some sentry duty at Sungei Gedong (which is really an ulu place, for those who don't know!) for the good half of next week. And even on this sunday! Worse, I've got guard duty in camp next sunday as well. Talk about burning weekends! I'm planning to clear the 3 days off I've accumulated in one shot on the 3rd week, just before the brigade block leave. Then I can have an uber long weekend then! YAY.

About the deferment letter...well, I have yet to receive news of it yet. It's worrying me so because some of my other friends have received the good news via snail mail. BAH humbug. Every morning I wake up in camp, I just can't believe I'm going to disrupt. It's almost surreal...especially when you juxtapose it against the equally strong feeling of "heckanotherdayincamp" in the morning. I've thought about it...I could live this life in the unit for another year or so. It really isn't that bad. Though disrupting will still be optimal. HEH.

We have a PSP fan club in the bunk already! All of us have monster hunter freedom and during our free time, we slay monsters on end. HAHA. Finally something for all of us to do.

Off to finish up my Haruki Murakami book! GO me.
