Less than 7 months to ORD. The moment that everyone has been waiting for.
But do I really have plans after I ORD? Afterall, it is another 9 months to uni next year.
It is time to start planning.
Friday I took one day leave, as part of leave clearing policy set by my S3. Didn't really have anything planned out. Just decide to relax at home. Interestingly, on my back home on Thursday, my boss phoned me and told me that the camp got raid by MP. Lol. lucky I locked my cupboard =) lucky for me and BX.
Passing by school while travelling home, I thought that maybe I will visit my teachers in school on Friday. So I went to school in the late afternoon. Even though I went in the early evening, there are still many people in school. Happened to see NCC from high school coming over to the college side to use the low wall and monkey bar. A suddenly parallel drawn between myself and those cadets. Quite sad though, that they have to be in greens for 4+2 years. Hahaha. In the end, I went too late to school and many of the teachers have already left and I only managed to meet Mr Kelvin Tan (someone must be laughing away behind the computer screen now..) and Miss Chua. Talked to her for quite a while, especially about her current class.
Is studying really that difficult? That is the sole responsibility of a student. However, some students can value their CCA involvements more than their study to the extent of playing in their sport at the expense of their academics. If you are the kind that can do well in both academics and sports, I really respect you. Otherwise, there should be a priority. You only sit for A levels once. In the same way I told my brother he needs to start focusing on O levels exams because you are not just competing with your own school friends but the whole of Singapore. Stressful indeed, but that is just the way of life in Singapore.
Ms Chua offered me to go back to HC to teach. It is a good idea. I will be going back together to teach with Terence Heng if I so decide to take up that offer. Afterall, it is a good opportunity for me to start picking up the academics after so long in the army. Though the pay isn't so rewarding, but I should just make do with that considering that I have nothing but an A levels cert.
Yesterday evening went out with Xinyi and Terence Heng for dinner. Didn't realise it is like a PW group minus gathering until they told me. It was supposed to be a class thing but I guess it is too last minute and some of the class girls are in the midst of having their sem exams. Good luck =)
Anyway, talked rubbish and gossip with them for the evening. Ate a lot of sinful stuffs which I think I need to really work out this week, more intensive. I still haven't forgotten my goal to achieve gold in IPPT for my second year. Missed the first year gold by 13 seconds.
By the way, I am typing this in camp. FYI.
Terence was telling me how he thinks NS bonds all the HC people. To a large extent, what he said is true. Somehow when you know that this particular person is from HC, you tend to bond with him easier. Maybe they are the people you see in school everyday but never talk to him before, in the army it seems to be easier to talk. I guess we all want to go back to our comfort zone bah.. In army you meet too many people you don't really like to talk to or not of the same frequency. At least that is for me..
Hm...

Looking at my email inbox, I realise
how stagnant
my life has been.
My OA outlook
seems much more vibrant
and interesting
than endless facebook messages.
What is happening to me?
