A new beginning?
The 2011 Singapore General Elections have finally arrived and went.
To some, this was one of the most fiercely contested election, with the uprising of the alternate parties and candidates.
To many others like me, this was our political awakening, our maiden election.
I shall not comment too much, all I can say is, what's in store for us in the next 5 years?
On closer issues, I have a burning question. What constitutes a "
Best Friend" ?
What are the qualities or characteristics most
Best Friends would possess in order to be elevated to that status in the first place?
And half a year later..
Half a Year later..
I can see the layer of dust covering this poor blog.
I forgot how writing out my thoughts really helps me to look at things from alternate perspectives.
Then again, how much of these words , from my true inner self , do I want to let people know?
Six months at a glance -
I'm happily attached now , to a wonderful girl.
Work is fine , though I really need to work on my time management.
Finance wise ... not good at all. Again , this links back to my time management indirectly.
Balancing working life and university , things feel alot different now that I'm attached.
Back then it was straight forward enough, work had to be done , time had to be sacrificed.
Priorities were easily set out and could be changed anytime.
Glad to say now that my priorities are alot different than how it used to be.
Running on auto-pilot was sufficient six months ago , but it's time to take the next step now.
I've been through alot in the past , I don't want to mess up again.
I AM STILL ALIVE.
Hi.
- It's May now
- Made it through 1 semester of University
- No longer a temp staff
- Need to plan my finances better
- My room is awesome now
- I should probably go to sleep
Blessthefall is too hot
Motherfucking fatass.
You are going to regret it one day.
Salaryman.
Tchh.
I really need to stop having insomnia on Sunday nights when I have to work the next day.
Life's been a whirl for the past few weeks now.
Lots of things happened in such a short time frame , it feels odd when I actually sit down and think about it.
Just one month ago , I'd still be back in base , waiting for my long awaited ORD.
Life was much easier back there in my opinion.
You just do what you're told , in the event of unexpected situations, you could always just tell the superiors you did not know what to do and that was the end of that.
Kinda mundane I know. But , when you spend a good 1 year plus leading that kind of life.
Waiting for your shift timing, making time pass somehow while you wait for the next shift.
And at the end of the night , after your final shift duty, all you'd have to do is just sleep and wait for book out.
Haha. I think I just miss the guaranteed off days where all I had to do was worry about how to spend the day having FUN.
On a side note:
Finally got to fulfill my wish of playing at a music studio with iz.
It was pretty much full of lols and shit, but I'll be damned if that didn't feel good.
Still can't believe I chose the school uniform look for that day though.
Totally a stark contrast from what iz was wearing.
But.
Where did my weekend disappear to :[ ?
Please Don't Say You Are Lazy
My brain is crammed with so many issues at the moment.
Somehow , getting to the end of my National Service wasn't as much spontaneous or fun as I've imagined.
Back during my first year of service , I've always visioned it to be one heck of a day.
Maybe even crazier than high school graduation.
In no particular order whatsoever;
- Probably do some crazy ass stunt to commemorate the end of service ( CHECK )
- Go on some obscenely extended holiday before reintegrating myself back to society ( .. Half done ? )
- Shop. (IMPOSSIBLE.)
Which brings me to my main point.
Money. Lack of money.
I realized I've spent a good three quarters of my "vacation" so far worrying about this issue
.
It doesn't really help the fact that I currently still many quite a substantial amount of loans to be paid off;
like $6000 worth , lol.
Tired of that shit , I slept on it.
Now I just feel nauseous for sleeping too much.
Update: 9th September
I just realized that my pay of the last month of service is cut into
HALF.
Okay, looks like I'm getting nowhere with fulfilling my dream of taking a vacation and shopping with the current circumstances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's a current list of things I should probably do to get my shit together :
- Finish my National Service Clearance Forms
- Get done with the body checkup at the medical centre
- Clear out my locker in base , or risk having all my shit disappear
- Apply for University
- Scan and send latest payslip and Certificate of Service to student recruitment centre
- Update my resume and start sending out cover letters
- Get a fucking job
- Start generating money
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now here's a list of things I want to do :
- Stop bothering with fair-weathered friends ( seriously , you guys can go fuck yourselves )
- Go ahead with the End of Tour commemorative photo shoot
- Travel to Taiwan , Japan and finally USA
- Buy loads of shit from a fore mentioned countries
- Get better at the guitar
- Get better at SF IV
- Stop sleeping on things that need immediate attention , lol.

Battle Begins!
