8 more to go...

The date, March 4th. Countdown to ORD, 8 months. Major obstacle down. Time to go back into lull for 4 months right? Wrong. As of tommorrow, i'll be going back to the place where i trained to be a specialist so long ago. I'm going back to Pasir Laba Camp. Its been what, almost a year since i first stepped into SISPEC. Well, i'm not really going back to SISPEC, but its still the same. Will be going back on course for about a month. I can't really say much about the course or they'll most probably revoke my CAT 2A security clearance. All i can say is that when i get back, i'll either be more intelligent, or i'll end up with a bad case of 'regulars-get-it-better-than-NSFs' again. I really hate that feeling, but most of the time, it just happens to be there. Other than for a few exceptions, i really hate regulars.

I finally bought The Burning Crusade, and i must say, that i wasn't very throughly impressed with the hassle i had to go through just to install the game onto my computer. Ok, fine, my computer sucks rather big time (its an old Fujitsu lappie). But still, its no excuse that blizzard should sell faulty CDs to its paying customers. And on top of that, i had to spend the whole night installing the game off the internet. Imagine downloading 2.05 GB!! It was crazy! When i got up this morning, it wasn't even done. Anyway, when i finally got it done, it was kinda worth the wait, though it seems that it isn't as good as people make it up to be. No matter. WoW is still WoW. Back to my self-destructive habits again, where i spend day after day staring at the computer screen and beating the shit out of animated objects. That is how i predict the next few months of my life will be, unless i get a solid reason to start going out of the house. Till then, i'll be on my way to level 70, so meet me there.

Ok, if u you guys notice carefully, there is a new link that says 'Ivan's Insights'. Well, i figured that i should get down to doing some real-time analysis of issues happening in the news today. Figures, since i'm going to do social science in the Uni, i might as well start by commenting on what happens in the world. I can't do that on this blog because i don't want it to be cluttered up with my personal problems. Hope it does give me a clearer view as to what i want to do after the Army and maybe it will help me clear up my mind. So watch that space and hopefully, something good will come out of it.

So yeah. Its back to being a trainee for me. I really need some time off from all this running around in green. Its starting to drain my soul and i'm afraid that i may never be the same again. If i thought that my personal problems were going to drive me into the ground, i was so wrong. A combination of that, and the very feeling i get whenever i step into camp would be more that enough to see me shave my head, strip naked and climb up the tallest building i can find with my M16 and start sinping random people along the street.
