I have known you my whole life
When you were ten, you said you'd make me your wife
Eight years later you won me over
Just as I took the world on my shoulders
I got used to living without you
Endless phone calls and dreaming about you
Always said that you were my man to be
But I guess I was in love with your memory
You know I love you, I really do
But I can't fight anymore for you
And I don't know, maybe we'll be together again
Sometime, in another life
In another life
Eight years later you won me over
Just as I took the world on my shoulders
I got used to living without you
Endless phone calls and dreaming about you
Always said that you were my man to be
But I guess I was in love with your memory
You know I love you, I really do
But I can't fight anymore for you
And I don't know, maybe we'll be together again
Sometime, in another life
In another life

Apologies for the later and later posting times. I keep pushing it closer and closer to the time I'm supposed to book in, really need to get rid of this bad habit >.<.
Well, as you all probably know, I have my field camp next week, that's 6 days spent living in the jungle in substandard living conditions (that includes 6 days, yup 6 days, without a shower). If the living conditions aren't bad enough, you have yourevil friendly sergeants over there to "teach" you how to do meaningless, pointless things designed to mentally torture, pretty much. It's going to be from this Thursday until Wednesday the following week, which means the next time I'll be out of camp will be the 2nd-3rd Feb weekend. Followed shortly after by Chinese New Year =D.
As I type this, David and the gang are currently somewhere in Japan. Where I would have been right now had it not been for this mess I'm stuck in. All the same, feels really... I don't know how to describe it, knowing that my friends are all having a great time, that I should have been there with them. In some ways, I'm really happy for them, being able to enjoy such an interesting vacation with friends. In others, I sometimes wonder if I'm missed at all, whetherit made a difference if I was there or not. It set me thinking about my interactions with everyone in my life, and now consindering them in a new, more long-termed perspective. It's scary. It also makes my eyes strangely moist.
Anyway, this week made me glad that my parents forced me to take swimming lessons. Those who can't swim have to go take swimming lessons while we were forced to do area cleaning for them. But really, sort of reflecting back on some of the decisions my parents made for me when I was younger, makes me wonder if I'll continue to be amazed by the foresight and wisdom of some of their decisions.
M16S1. Yeah, that's the rifle we all got married to this week. Frankly and straightforwardly put, it's MEH. Almost as WTFMEH as the food. We haven't fired it yet, but doubt that would make much of a difference. All the rifle is and all it's done at the moment is waste our time, energy, and make life a lot harder for everyone, including much more immenent threats of being charged with criminal offences or being sent to Detention Barracks (Army prison. Yay).
This week got punished a lot, largely for some people not wanting to admit to mistakes. So what do they do? Punish the whole lot of us. I myself narrowly missed confinement this week, due to signing out of the box (tiny excel standard size boxes). My handwriting was almost my bane this time, hopefully they decided not to, instead issuing a final warning on that matter. Phew.
Good news! My mum will be arriving on the 8th of March in Singapore again, to watch my Passing Out Parade from Basic Military School on the 12th. She will be staying all the way until I'm posted to my next unit.
Oh, side note, university placings for Australia were released on the 15th, I got my first choice of course, which I put for security purposes as Biomedicine at Melbourne. There still remains the issue of deferring, but that shouldn't be a problem since it isn't Medicine.
Bought myself a PSP external battery/charger, so my PSP will last longer in camp =P. The mediocre battery life was too much to handle, so this one should boost it by about 6 hours at least, being able to recharge the battery from the external battery pack. Together with that came a whole lot of stuff in preparation for field camp, disgusting. Don't want to think about it, I think it's best just to get over and done with, don't think.
With regards to not thinking... My brain's really been in shutdown mode. My cousin who just started J1 this year came to me with a partial fractions question. Yeah, plain partial fractions. I stared at it like it was an alien. Then I poked it. Then it came back. But it was really scary how I blanked out. My basic arithmetic skills also dropped significantly, I can't even add 2 three-digit numbers in my head within 2-3 seconds anymore. My brain just feels... sluggish. Gah. So getting my mum to bring my Spec textbook over (LOL).
Ok, that's all for this short post, really out of time (again). To all you guys in Japan, if you all happen to read this, here's wishing you all the best, enjoy yourselves yeah =D, wish I could be there! Remember to send the photos when you're back ^^.
Bye, wish me luck.
