Going back to School

Yes, i've been posted to School of Ammunition, but like everything in the SAF, can't say anything about it. not that i want to anyway :)

hopefully will be updating a tad more often now that there's more free time on my hands. But what am i going to do with this free time? well, part of it will have to be studying for SOA i guess, it really is like going back to school, but there's a coupla things i would list to want to do with my new found freedom (sorta)

1) take driving lessons
sounds like a good idea getting my license out of the way, i just wanna have that license so that if ever the need may arise, i can be of service to the family too. that's why my dad took up driving, and i think its a very good reason to! also, designated driver is the perfect way to have a friendly excuse for not drinking (yes, i do not drink outside of my home)

2) take a dance class
this is still prolly a fantasy. but i've always wanted to take up dance, just to see if i can follow, and see if i'm sexy enough to pull it off! lol.

3) meet more friends for dinner dates
yes yes i know i do it every book out, but that's the thing, to keep my friends close, we need to make the effort to meet. Hopefully i'm not overdoing it in the initial stages of being seperated, but now's as good a time as any. its gonna be hard to keep it up for many years to come, if i'm not enthusiastic about it now!

but kgukgu (rough sound translation, for my mother's younger brother, basically uncle) did mention. "I noticed you have been living very full weekends, but now that you have got some (more) time on your hands, maybe its time you spend some time chasing your passions, alone"

he has a point, i have been doing ALOT of things with other people, mainly cuz i'm trying to squeeze on tightly to my friends, but perhaps its also because i haven't really spent time alone connecting with myself. i struggled with the dual life of tekong life and civvy life, but now it seems like i may have lost touch with some of my "self-conversation" skills. if there's one thing i'd like to learn, its to have better communication with myself, figure out where i'm going in life, my passions, and what am i going to go after.

sigh, its all about "what drives you" - isn't that some slogan from some ad campaign? or sounds like something from an Open house... - but to find what makes me tick. living in the moment is good, but i need to step out of the zone and take a look at things in the bigger picture, but with that i need to find where am i going to take myself. Big Scary questions which maybe i don't want to answer, maybe i'm scared of finding out. in anycase, need to find a way to look for that.

so. with everyone starting thier vocations all over the place, all the best (shoutout to kenneth, delta wing OCS, heh heh heh, god bless your soul :D) and do stay in touch :)
