Long week...
(loud sigh)
Been trying to update more often these days, but it seems that wasn't possible. Don't think i'm allowed to update my blog from camp anymore because i think they blocked blogger from our internet. Bah, what crap. They already blocked friendster. Bummer...
Anyway, the past 2 weeks have been by far one of the most stressful ever! I'd been pressured to complete my office projects by my superiors who are oh-so-demanding, and at the same time having to deal with issues with certain 'difficult' people, and also studies, as well as wasting time learning how to drive. Okay seriously, my current driving instructor is really crap. He's deliberately taking his time to teach me new driving skills, like parking or going uphill and all. Worse part is that it brings me no benefit if i complained. Firstly, he's a private instructor, so complain to who? And secondly even if i went for a different one, the same problem might re-occur, and have to pay some silly termination fee.
Which reminds me of the discussion i had with my discussion group in Sociology class. We were asked to discuss about Multiculturalism and Sovereignty of State, and we realised that we seldom have major conflicts about racism here (that involve killing), due to the people either being afraid of the government, or that they see no point in making it into an issue as it would bring them no benefit.
And it's the same for me. I'm slowly taking the approach where i shouldn't be so bothered by things around me or get overly worked-up by them. Is it a good thing or not? I don't know. But what i do know is that it'll save me from a lot of stress that i'm already going through.
Today isn't such a bad day though. The day went by relatively quickly, though it was still mainly rather boring. Went out with my encik plus my officer for lunch at Bukit Timah Market. The officer treated us to pretty good pasta. Headed back to camp where again we left for Marina City Park, as there was to be a healthy lifestyle run there. Got there and wasted more time hanging around aimlessly with the guys before it was declared 'Cat 1', or weather unsafe for outdoor activity. Well, the time spent with the guys wasn't aimless lah. We were playing with the ants and spiders we caught. First we got a tiny spider and we tried to make it fight a red ant. That didn't work as they kept running away. Then later on we found a big spider, the size of a 20 cent coin, and we out it together with the tiny spider in a styrofoam cup. When we opened the cup, we saw that the big spider had the little one in it's mouth! It was... shocking! Haha...
At least some action for the boring afternoon huh?...
Later on went to Carl's Jr at Marina Square with the guys. I finally got to try the sourdough bacon cheeseburger, and it was dee-licious! Also think we saw Olinda Cho while we were there. Heh, but it was a little far to see lah.
So let's see, i've met 2 of out Sg Idol contestants already! First was Daphne Khoo who boarded my bus, service 61, at the Ngee Ann bus stop (read previous posts in my archives). Fascinating hey!
Dinner was great. Was a little full but i ate some more anyway. Went out with family to Hotel Rendevous to celebrate my dad's birthday. Ate at some BBQ restaurant. Food was really just ordinary only, nothing fantastic, but the fellowship was just great! I had a great time.
Got home, practiced my guitar. Been a long time since i touched it. Been all too busy for all this knick-knacks nowadays. How i wished i had the time to do all these stuff. I've always wanted to learn a new language or re-pick my chinese, or learn an instrument or whatever! But alas, no time. Hopefully someday i can, maybe when i go to Australia for uni? Yup, hope to be able to do more sports as well. Been a little more health conscious these days too, so i guess that's a good sign? Yepp...
So that's all for today. Quite a handful, but if you had read all the way from the top to here, then give yourself a pat on the back and sign my guestbook! :D
Well, logging off now. God bless my readers....
