as i was taking the train back home earlier today from pasir ris, i was, frankly, shocked to see the shrubs and short tree-like things that stretch over the pasir ris-tampines connecter burning up in flames and basically vapourising into thick grey smoke that clouded the nearby apartments resulting to something very close to a p.s.i. 900.

like i said it was shocking.

sure the weather has been horrible. the temperature has been going up, up and up and well bushfires have been increasing in frequency here in cosy somfy singapore. but still that incident was like a huge wake up call. hearing about a bushfire and actually seeing one is totally different i tell you, especially one of that magnitude (the library side of tampines was totally blanketed with smoke i tell ya).

the earth is freaking degenerating. i really hope the kyoto convention will help sort this out; at least i hope the participating countries can some to an agreement or something to help the world. its just scary to see this happen.

anyways....

read 5 people you meet in heaven (good book) and lord of the flies (psychologically disturbing). lol. i read more in the army than i do at home or in school man.

had fish and co with sis and bro this evening for dinner. man oh man, i so needed that. also went to watch hide and seek on impulse. the show started out okay, but you can actually guess the whole story by the time youre halfway through. and the ending, kinda stupid.

now i'm just waiting for spongebob the squarepants movie and white noise.

nothing much else to blog on... life's just doing its run and well, i'm running along with it.

will be going back to camp later in the evening.
man i hate this feeling; the feeling of having to go back to camp. its like... well i dont know what its comparable to actually. all i know is that this feeling sucks.
i hope the week passes by quickly. i hate ns.
its annoying.
well guys, see ya next saturday.

constantine is a really good movie.
it had everything i liked the dark goth factor, the supernatural stuff, good effects and even a splash of comedy.
watch it people.

life's a song, you dont get to rehearse.
and every single verse,
can make it that much worse.

still my friends, dont know why i ignore,
the million things or more,
i should be dancing for.


-from buffy: once more with feeling-

hey all. field camp (i.e. a 7 day 'outing' in the jungles of tekong where you make friends with dirt, sandflies and mosquitoes) was freaking interesting in a weird way. it wasnt bad, it was actually kinda fun even though it was horribly tiring. the rations sucked of course. it is so bad, even somalians will recoil in fear. but what could i do but just force it all down. thank god we had fresh rations twice. the worse day would probably have to be the last day. we had to dig a shell-scrape (sorta like a grave deep enough for you to lie in). it was absolutely horrible. i was so freaking tired that i felt like throwing the shovel thing away and just give up. it was bad. but i did finish it; sure it wasnt perfect but as long as it's fine by the superiors it's fine by me. did guard duty twice while i was in field camp too. the first night wasnt that bad, the second time however was freaky. the second time i did it, it was at the place where we dug our own graves. the place is seriously freaky. you get that something-is-so-following-me feeling with every step you take but you just dont dare turn around to look. thank goodness we did it in pairs. i also threw a live granade. oh my god that was scary and super fun at the same time. the explosion is so fierce that the concrete wall i was behind actually moved. fantastic. so far army's alright i guess. one month has zoomed passed already. fast huh? all i have is one more month and then i'll be outta bmt. sure sure i still have 21 more months before i can actually consider myself free, but hey step by step. on a totally different note... i hate the chinese new year period. everything just closes and i have no where to go. i cant even buy stuff that i want. this is stupid. they should just keep everything open, i'm sure some companies can employ malay or indian workers right? . what is this poor indian boy suppose to do.
