Winter's cityside
Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I'd ever find a glimps of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me, now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it's easy when your big in Japan
When your big in japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight, big in Japan where the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay, then i'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan, when you're big in Japan
Crystal bits of snowflakes all around my head and in the wind
I had no illusions
That I'd ever find a glimps of summer's heatwaves in your eyes
You did what you did to me, now it's history I see
Here's my comeback on the road again
Things will happen while they can
I will wait here for my man tonight, it's easy when your big in Japan
When your big in japan, tonight
Big in Japan, be tight, big in Japan where the eastern sea's so blue
Big in Japan, alright, pay, then i'll sleep by your side
Things are easy when you're big in Japan, when you're big in Japan

Ok lol. Completely forgot about posting until now, and I have to leave in minus 5 minutes. Oh well, make it a quick one.
Well this week in camp wasn't much, just field camp. Can't believe I'm saying that. Missions after missions, boring stuff, reminds me of an act sometimes really, just going through drills, all pre-rehearsed. It helps me get through it when I put it that way to myself.
We had a turn-out on Wednesday night, basically woke everyone up in the middle of the night, told us all to pack all our stuff, everything into our packs, and fall in with them on. Then we had to run outside, get punished for not doing our stand-to's and guard duties, and 1 hour later (about 1am) go back to sleep, carrying on guard duties at a higher intensity. Quite unpleasant.
Well the highlight this week was my Medicine test and interview! I booked out Monday morning early for my test, had plenty of time, so had breakfast and stuff and changed before heading to NUS. Well I got there, went into this auditorium to wait, and there were what, 50, no more than 75 people there. Considering on the other test date there were like 700+, I guess mine was the backup date for those who couldn't make the first. At least the atmosphere was a lot less tense than it must have been on the first test date. Anyway, we had to queue up by our table number, and sort of walk to the science lab (>.>) where the test was conducted. I managed to acquaint myself with the girl in front of me, she had a very interesting accent, and seemed a foreigner herself. Turns out she did high school here in Singapore, but did study in England for a time, and she was half English. So while we're talking, the guy in front of her (I was behind) was like "Oh, so you studied in the UK for some time? Where at?", and she mentions some college I can't remember, and he's like "Oh, that's in York isn't it?" "Oh, how did you know?" "Ah, I studied in Manchester myself..." GG. Stolen. I did meet up with her again after the test though, no contacts exchanged whatsoever, just the simple well-wish: "I'll see you sometime later this year~". Interesting encounter, imho.
To the essay topic! Man it was gay, "The 21st century physician will be a completely new kind of doctor. Take a stand for or against the statement and discuss, using examples from your experiences in your own community and country." The fsck?! I was a little stunned at first, but once I got into it it sort of came out ok. Reflecting back now, I could have made it a lot better by including some VITAL points I missed out, but I shan't worry about that now.
The interviews were on Friday, had to book out of field camp in the morning in order to get there. Some stress here, will elaborate next post when I have more time. Anyway, there were 2 interviews, the first supposedly more formal, and the second more informal and personal. Well I went into the first interview with like every guard up, to see two jovial professors smiling pleasantly at me. The whole the time atmosphere was very relaxed, and I think I really did quite well for that interview. I'm still suspicious about it. The second interview was less disarming, although it was quite a bit tougher than the first. Stuffed up a lot as well, had to ask permission to start again, ask them to repeat questions, etc. They kept grilling me on the fact that I moved back here from Melbourne... Gah. It came to a point where I really had nothing to say. Quite a terrible position. I'll elaborate more on the interview questions next week too T.T.
This week is the last week of my course, I get my promotions sometime next week also. Hopefully I don't get selected for ASLC, which is like another 13 weeks in the same fscked up company. But chances are slim of avoiding it. Sigh. All my hopes pinned on the medicine application. There's a 28km route march, 4km more than the graduation march in BMT. Last challenge before I end this course. Don't know if I'll make it, honestly. I guess I'm tired to the point I'm past caring.
Ok sorry if this post was short and crappy, but there you go, I'm late already. /pray I make it.
Bye.
