Yes. I'm back. Not the Real Slim Shady, nor the Fat Boy Slim. I'm the in between.
Okay. So so so so so so so so so so much has happened since my last entry, which was in May. two WHOLE months ago !!! I've got about 4 more months before I start clearing leave. Sigh. Time's flying again, as usual. Heheh. Let's see what I've been doing for the last eight weeks.
There was the Naval Merit Award. Got to see some kids and one or two cute girls. Just for your info, the NMA's an award that's given to servicemen's children who have performed exceptionally well in their studies, but I don't care. It was enjoyable for the great food. The Changi Central Mess has good, cheap food. Too bad I'm not posted in Changi.
The Retirees' Dinner. Nothing much, 'cept that we get a half day off for it. Nat should get 2 days, since he did most of the shit. Nat's always doing the shit ( and he just got 2 extra for a petty problem. That's the love they show to us NSFs :) Now you girls begin to understand our universal abhorrence for National Service ? ) Then went over to her place for pasta :) God... that was sooooo nice...
Yes. Then there' s the World Cup. Caught the first match at aaron's place with josh, who fell asleep halfway through. haha. Pig :) Prata, chips and booze. And a splendid opener it was, with Germany steam-rolling over Coasta Rica with a 4-2 win. Sad to say, the down part was I woke up with a fever. Then again, not really much of a down part. It came with a 3-day MC the following week. Heheheheh.
I clocked 6 days of MC for June alone. Hmm. personal achievement. Not really much of an achievement as compared to many other NSFs, but still... I'll take pride in that :)
Aaron gained 8 kilograms in 3 weeks of over-night boozing and eating chips for the world cup.
...
Think about that man. I personally lost 8KG in bmt. This good friend of mine gained what I lost in 3 weeks. 1/5 of the time i spent in BMT. Truly amazing, my friend, Aaron Teo. Muahahaha.
England lost with their Big 3 gone, two with injuries and one with a red card. They're forever the Has-Beens. Sad eh.
Germany beart (fcuking) Portugal :) But sadly lost to Italy in the Semis before that.
Italy beat France with a 5-3 penalty win. But of course that is minute a matter compared to Zidane's headbutting of Materrazzi.
Arghhh. Okay that's about it. I don't like blogging anymore. I'm doing this entry only because I'm compelled it. Yes and my tagboard's dead. I don't know why. Anyone wants to do a new blog layout for me ? =) I'll buy you godiva chocolates ? Please ?
I'll end off with Adam's starting paragraph on his own blog:
"I want out. I want out of this stifling job called the army. Regimentation my ass. I want to hurl my files out the window and make a bonfire out of all the paperwork."
