i dun tell my family much about my activities. for instance which subjects i took, my results for the exams, that i'm taking driving lessons now, that i sat for my theory exam some months ago. occasionally i tell them some stuff, but i guess it's in my habit of poor expression.

my determination is measured to be worth 790 pages. my library book expires tomorrow.

i tried playing ff1. you should try the first mission man. it was like hahaha yu call that the best swordsman in the land? he didnt last very long.

my cable is as good as dead. almost. i had to refresh the browser about 6 times to read my mei's blog. as in just so that the words appear. i'm not even talking about the photos or the tagboard. loading this posting page also takes about 4 tries on average.

we sent of dear matt yesterday. so the six of us, matt's fam and shin were at the airport in the evening. we did a mini celebration for jc's bday at the airport itself, so that we could all do it together. matt will be back again on july 2, so we'll probably incubate till that period. mei didnt join us since she was like not in the country until rather late. after the sending off we went over to bx place (successfully by public transport, phew) and pretty much played overnight. ze went off to sleep halfway tho haha. we managed to cover halo2, dai di and mahjong (non-tiles kind. bs's whole fam was "sleeping" yah right. who the hell could really be sleeping when we were making all the noise) pretty much ran out of battery so i came home and slept from 12 to 7. well done. i missed my platoon lunch (which turned out to have only 3 people due to late notification. somehow we couldnt compromise on the time and place beforehand) i'm more or less recovered tho i need to sleep soon in preparation for tmr.

we drunk quite a bit at bx's place. it was mainly on the basis of losing daidi or winning mahjong (no drinking for halo2 haha) we managed to clear half of the remaining of csl's coconut rum. many years ago i decided that drinking was pointless and i should just stop it. now i'm beginning to buy the concept that sometimes drinking with a few good buddies is a way of comforting yourself that everything can be coped with, that these guys will be around with you till the end. i think that for friends, drinking is well worth it. i guess i've changed then.

i received a call from shu en at 0018hrs to help out at sim tmr 1115hrs. i'm just recording the timings down to show how exciting university life can be. (we never really left army did we.) due to bidding i have to bid early tomorrow then quickly rush to sim. i probably will not get the chance to bid again before the round closes, since the activity ends at 3pm. my dear darlings, i do not live in singapore. i think most people still dun get my point. punggol land is in no way geographically even remotely close to the sunny island of singapore.

had a short sms exchange with jc bitching about the late organisation. organisation is not a easy thing. it doesnt work just by pulling 5 people together, call them committee heads, give them one task each to do and then go back to study. no dear, you've got it all wrong. there are many ways of doing organisation, and i must admit my way is the self-centred kind of way, but i can confidently say that the way it's being run now we aint gonna see many people on the day of the finals. the team is not ready to work with such little coordination. tell you what, go out there to the corporate world and organise an event or two. you might learn so much more from there.
