[051106] Wake me up when september ends

I found out that IKEA is really a nice place to just walk around especially when walking around the showrooms on the second floor, the seemingly perfect concept of a bedroom, a kitchen or a dining room with an endless amount of different types and kinds of furniture to accomadate even the fussiest of people. I finally found my computer chair and it costs alot less than what i had been eyeing from Hives... it's black in colour (what other colour would u expect it to be?) and it's reasonably comfy... there were more comfy ones but the steep price of over $500 was really out of my budget... best thing i guess was the price, a reasonable $98 add into account the cabfare home would add up to $113, i got a shock when they told me that delivery would cost an additional $40, erm.. thanks but no thanks, i'd rather take the cab anyday...

walked around Queensway shopping centre as well looking for jersies but not having much luck in locating jersies from past seasons guess i gotta depend on ebay or yahoo! auctions already... but i dont really like the idea of getting something 2nd hand especially when i have no guarantees that it would be in good conditions but the availability and afforable prices kindda evens out everything...

This week in camp passed quite quickly, no major cock ups... not much anwways... had my REPT test... 4 stations in total... but i only managed to obtain 1st class rankings for 3 of them. i only managed to get a 2nd class ranking for my airbag station cause of a stupid knob that i overlooked in my haste to obtain the 1st class ranking... kinnda wasted and kinnda disappointed as well... but what to do... worst of all was that the PC allowed those that obtained 1st class for all stations to book out before lunch.. lucky Henri and Goh... didnt have to go thru the shit that we did in the evenings before we book out.. oh well, just take it as additional training to 'keep fit'

Chemical Agent innoculation test is coming up this week.. kinnda nervous and excited all at the same time... wonder how i'll handle when i come into contact with the tear gas... would i crumble or would i be mentally strong enough to endure? Of course, my body would have a natural reaction to the gas... uncontrolled tearing, mucous dripping, drooling even but whether or not i'll be able to handle the entire exercise is another thing... the time old cliche of "mind over body" comes into mind... it is but yet another cliche...

Got shortlisted for the post of instructor, went for a simple, informal interview with the CSM... kinnda in a dilema now, im not really keen on the post as the working hours and pay arent really that fabulous and the prospect of being an Ambulance Attendant seems to be more exciting and promising yet i hear conflicting views from my instructors... a case of reverse physcology? hmmm.. hard to say.. but our postings are orders so if i am posted to BRTC Aplha Coy as an instructor, so be it... what will be, will be... be water my friend, formless, shapeless... LLST

2 more weeks to POP...

Craig David - Unbelievable

Always said I would know where to find love,
Always thought I'd be ready and strong enough,
But some times I just felt I could give up.
But you came and changed my whole world now,
I'm somewhere I've never been before. N
ow I see, what love means.

It's so unbelievable,
And I don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall.
I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me.
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere I'd never thought I'd be.

In my heart, in my head, it's so clear now,
Hold my hand you've got nothing to fear now,
I was lost and you've rescued me some how-.
I'm alive, I'm in love you complete me,
And I've never been here before.
Now I see, what love means.

It's so unbelievable,
And I don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall.
I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me.
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere I'd never thought I'd be.

When I think of what I have,
and this chance I nearly lost,
I cant help but break down, and cry.

Ohh yeah, break down and cry.

It's so unbelievable,
And I don't want to let it go,
Something so beautiful,
Flowing down like a waterfall.
I feel like you've always been,
Forever a part of me.
And it's so unbelievable to finally be in love,
Somewhere I'd never thought I'd be.

Now I see, what love means
