Since the darkness took our minds
They burned our courage many died
Had to leave it all behind rebuild our lives
Passing memories remained
It made my soul a burning flame
Haunted dreams of my desire
Reveal my name

Raise our swords we fight for life
Shields and armor shining bright
Strike like dragons we have no fear
Our swords are made of steel

Fly across the high seas and mountains
Rise above the golden horizon
Far away beyond the gates of space and time
Through the wastelands forever and on
Still we fight on for our freedom
The cry of the fallen souls bleeding
Forever journey through the lands of ice and snow
Will we face all the fears of the world?
The cry of the brave

Yo everyone! Enlightening news! Yup, the disruption's through~. Ok, not quite. I wish (is it ever that simple with the Light-forsaken army...). Well, on NUS side, they at least try to let us know what on earth is happening on the admin side, behind their closed doors of evil. The University received news of my disruption, and then immediately notified me with the relevant documents and forms to fill out for my matriculation this August. So NUS says "We heard about your disruption from MINDEF (Ministry of Death Defence), congratulations, and welcome to AY2008."

So what did MINDEF tell me before this? Nothing. It's just sad when the only thing you hear about something important concerning your life comes from a third party. And to this day I'm still waiting. Going to attempt to threaten the admin department with this letter from NUS, hope something comes of it. Honestly sick of all this. Fighting tooth and claw down to the very end, even though it's not supposed to be a bitter end... The process is just turning it sour.

Also something I'm a little dismayed at, even after this, the competition doesn't end. The initial plan is for me to go stay in the University residences for the first year at least, and even then there's competition for rooms, some better than others. And only what 200 out of 3000ish with Air-Conditioning and an attached bathroom. Guess what the competition's based on? Co-curricular activity involvement. Yup. Fail.

I registered for Medicamp, a camp for Medicine freshmen, on the 7th of July, and the pre-camp dinner on the 5th. I have no guarantee that the disruption will come before then, in fact, I don't have a clue. But I registered anyway, more out of faith than anything. Amazing. Even after the disruption is through, I'm still desperately praying. Come to think of it, at this rate, I don't even know when I can stop praying so fervently. It seems the path I chose will inevitably lead that way. Sigh.

No guarantees again guys, but there's a chance I'll be coming back to Melbourne for a short while before my course starts, probably mid-late July... Looking forward to it a lot, really miss home, family and you guys lots... Once again, keep praying =)

In camp our course has been actually put on hold (the lecture component at least) for our whole institute to participate in the preparations for SAF day on the 1st of July. Specifically, we're on 2 weeks of guard duty. Great. Stand around along on the path around the parade square where the thing's going to be held for 5 hours. Rehearsals all the way until then. Well the President and Defence Minister are going to be there, so I guess... But seriously, low, using us as cheap labour ftl. Incredibly boring really. Worst of all, the physical part of the training doesn't stop. What a marvellous deal.

Oh well, see you all next week. I think I'll be starting WoW again from next weekend, regardless of whether I've got out by then or not. Really, don't care anymore. Waited too long, and waiting more is just stupid. The army is making me wait. Inference? Bleh I'm blabbering, and getting late again >.<

Cya.
