The month after...

This post has been a long time coming. Ok, maybe 9 days ain't that long a period of time. Anyways, a late post is better than not having posted. Its been a month since i've become civilian once again. Thinking back, i really haven't done much during this period of time. Mostly, i've spent it either in front of the computer or the television. Not a very healthy way to burn the time till i get into Uni, but hey, beats wasting money with pointless activities and stuff. Other than for the infrequent forays into town, my life now is really quite boring. My life is punctuated by the injuries i've received from pushing myself too hard exercising. Every morning i wake up with pains all over. Maybe its a good thing. Pain makes me feel alive. It reminds me that i am only human. It keeps me firmly rooted in reality and prevents me from childish delusions of being different. As far as i'm concerned, i'm no different from the random guy on the street.

I guess that maybe the highlight of this month of vegetation must be the day i spent in Sentosa with Ching. Yeah it may sound kinda gay but hey, when you're on short notice, anything goes. It had been ages since i last visited the island even though its just across a tiny strip of water from where i live. And my, has the place changed. It looks so different now that they are building the IR there. Where once was the ferry terminal, the cycling tracks and fantasy island is now a massive construction site. Anyway we visited Underwater World, Fort Siloso and the Dolphin Lagoon. Its was quite fun considering that it was just 2 guys. Underwater World was nice. It has really changed from the last time i went there. The exhibits were good and just going through the tunnel brought back memories from the past. Fort Siloso was fun too. At least it fed my appetite for all things old and of big guns. Then it was off to the Dolphin Lagoon. Initially i was kinda sceptical, mainly because i've never really seen the allure of frolicking around in the water with animals armed with a few hundred razor sharp things. But just standing there watching the dolphins do their thing really amused me and it felt kinda good.

Now that the month is over, i still have another 5 months to go before i get to start school. I'm bored and going crazy mostly but it beats being in the Army so i'm not complaining. I just have to find some stuff to do to keep me occupied. Driving practical starts in the beginning of next year and hopefully i'll get my licence by the time i start school. Screw the triangle plate while driving to school, i don't really care. What matters most is that i finally have some freedom to move around on my own not having to worry about late night taxi fares and whether i'm going to miss the last bus. Next i've got to start working. Come this friday, i may get a job at a brokerage firm, but i'm not sure if i want it. On top of that my Dad is enlisting me to work in his clinic 4 times a week. Negotiations about the pay are currently ongoing. Haha.

5 more months to go. Am i going to survive without going crazy? Hopefully i will.
