the after new year...

new year's day came and went by very quickly indeed. just realised that this is my first post of the year 2008 hahaha and this year is a day longer... olympics will be held in beijing, and i'll ORD! but it's also the year i'll start school and turn 21... oh well...

for the first time in my entire life, on new year's eve i went to the city area to watch tie fireworks. the past 19 years of my life i've been at home, watching the fireworks on tv on and off, and basically spending the new year by myself. last year i couldn't go simply because my parents wouldn't let me go, but this year they actually let me go! really felt very happy, and made wendy's longtime wish come true too, so that just made me doubly happy =)

the next night i booked in for 2008. planned my off and leave, signed about 3/4 of my clearance form, and i'm sadly also beginning to find out that my company won't be letting go of me so easily. somehow they're dragging us "lao jiaos" into alot more shit. alot more shit than we did at the same time last year. the only thing i can deduce is that the new specs don't have much control over the guys yet, so they just wanna use us to the very end. those evil buggers... well at least i had off last friday, and one more next monday. but after that i'll be in camp for a while more. might even have to spend next saturday at the range! if that's true, it'll really be a FUBAR situation. if you wanna know what FUBAR is please enquire personally. by the end of the month, all my 4 wisdom teeth would've been removed, which basically just allows me to stay out of camp more hahaha but since the SAF is paying for it, might as well get it done right... a thousand bucks per tooth. making up for how underpaid we are hahaha

tonight was movie night! spent the latter half of the afternoon and the night watching movies at josh's house. watched 3 pretty recent movies, and played some xbox hahaha but his mum is really damn nice. and super observant too. guess she would have to be since she's got so many kids running around all the time hahaha but it's a small and cosy home. kind squashy at times i guess, but they've all adjusted to it =)

and for many who will be reading this... manibu d/o kokoroboo is quite a cool name! hahaha ;)

we're all waiting for something... something to come our way
