Things are building UP

Hello everybody! it really feels like quite a long time since i last updated, let's check... hmm... last thursday... well lots of things have been happening, but i guess i have been too tired/busy to update. but no worries! now is the time to do recollections!

reason i didn't post anything over the weekend was largely attributed to Duty on Saturday. Its a lot more tiresome, not tiring mind you, got alot of sleep that weekend, haha, and lots of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince reading done :D but still, it was a hassle being in camp for the weekend, and even though Saturday just flew past, i realise in hindsight that it just ate up my weekend.

Sunday was spent out the whole day. from R&Gad PPP at Rachel's (too many acronyms! Rosen&Guildern are Dead Post-Production Party!) then dinner with Godma. i thought i wasn't that tired from Duty, but i guess irregular sleeping hours does take its toll on the body, so by Sunday night, i was utterly shagged out, but satisfied.

I was actually expecting Dim back on monday! (speaking of which, need to pop away and send an email...*POP*...*POP* and we're back!) yes, i'm going to regulate my life a little, and try and make myself be more diligent with certain things! like tuesdays will be email-day. prolly wednesdays will be facebook day, and if i don't bother to post as often, i'll try to make thursday my blogging day. its good to keep updating snippets of life, it gives something to look back on when my life progresses :)

okay! tuesday was an excellently spontaneous decision to meet up with raghav and play MTG into the night, which i did! and ended up reaching home at 1+ a.m. in the morning, which though i bet MomDad weren't too pleased with, i think they know that i'm old enough to know how to take care of myself, my parents are awesome like that :D

Oh yes! Tuesday was a landmark day in my NS life! for the first time ever, i passed my IPPT! woo~ woo~ yea~ :D this opens up so many opportunities for me! can finally promote to CPL and 3SG, and can earn some damned respect for my self! that's one thing in the office. even though its not a very nice generalisation, the rank does say a bit about how experienced the soldier is, so i'm gonna earn respect deserving of my rank, and my my mark on the ongoings in GSAB :)

Then duty on wednesday was last duty for the month, and last prowling for me. next month its sentry, at a much reduced rate of 3 duties a month. hopefully that will give me more time to dedicate to driving lessons and gym. though i've passed my IPPT, i cannot be complacent (like i have in the past 3 days >.<) and must strive to get better, and maybe get a silver badge for myself :)

then just came back tonight, and went out for the movie UP. to be frank, today wasn't a very good day. my last duty was fine, but i was quite careless with things, forgetting this and being an all round klutz. then today, after duty rest, went back to office to find a troubled Jeremy, who obviously had not had a good morning, with the flood of work coming in, since almost all the key people were not around on wednesday, so their backlogged work flooded in on thursday morning. felt guilty for not being around to help him, and worse was that even when i was around, i didn't know how to assist to my best ability.

But all my worries seemed to be pushed away by the end of the day, and it ended perfectly with the screening of UP, which i caught with Mat. Disney has got their winning magic back. For so long we were under the torture of boring, lifeless CGI shows like Cars, or Barnyard, or the likes of those shows. but Disney-Pixar knows their stuff, and blessed us withe Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Wall-E and now UP. i loved it. it was touching, and had great story, and great character. anyone who has the chance please watch it with people you love. family, girlfriend, best friends, whatever. just go with people who are special and important to you, because i know you will love it. My favourite scene had to be the first part, no words, just music, and the life story. it was a minor part to set the stage for the later plot, but it kinda painted the life i wished to lead, if you have no idea what i am talking about, go watch the movie, then buy the DVD, and watch it over and over again. Carl and Ellie - <3 forever :)

I'm happy now. warmed up by a great movie, and i shall take this feeling to sleep with me, so that i can savour it hopefully in my dreams as well. well then, goodnight, and till my next post!
