Valentines day.. who knows how much crap ppl go through for something mostly commercial..
and yet.. it kinda makes me envious about it..
Bought chocs for a couple of ppl this time arnd.. Claire for lending me her Angel Santuary comics (omg.. its like my favourite comic right now la..) Clara for doing the designs for my new shoes! (haha.. i love it girl.. i'll help you advertise more when i upload pics of it k?) and some from cold storage to give to the ppl i'd meet along the way during my JC's CVD (basically its just another carnival) on the 10th this feb..
Typical though.. didn't get chocs back on that day.. although Bb did pass me some before she left for China to celebrate CNY.. it was so sweet of her =D though now i have difficulty finding it.. i distinctively remember putting it in the fridge.. i pray nothing has happened to it yet =X
so yea.. world's single awareness day.. i spent it in camp, doing the Standard Obstacle course, as well as a 12km route march with my platoon buddies... i guess it wasn't so bad.. except for the presence of all those guys already with gfs..
strangely.. i was silently pleased when someone sent a msg to my fren saying
"Hey, you and your bf quite compatible.. haha.."
know whats the wierd thing? that 'bf' he was refering to is probably me.. and she's already attached to someone else.. probably someone better than an NS person could be anyway..
still.. there's a yearning in my chest for someone to fill up.. rawr!! i hate being so mushy too.. its just not me =X
Hehe.. i realised i haven't been faithful to my blog for a long time.. really sorry for the readers who pop by and find nothing new =X
anyways.. was talking about guard duty the last time.. and there are some happenings that could really be deemed the work of spiritual forces =P While patrolling the premises at night.. there are some parts where the roads are lit by just a single row of lamp-posts.. Its kinda creepy when you walk down a treet.. and the lamp overhead suddenly just flickers off.. leaving you in a patch of darkness at 2am in the morning.. you try to comfort yourself saying "ok nvm.. the lamp ahead still has light" as you quicken your steps towards it..
Suddenly.. it too dies on you..
Your heart pounds faster as you race with your buddy towards the third lamp further away.. It's still shining... looking back.. the two previous lamps now seem ok as they light up again.. you pause a moment to catch your breath..
Then.. just when you thought all was safe.. The third lamp, the one you were just under.. forsakes you to the darkness........
This was the scenario me and my guard duty buddy Sunesh went through =P hahaha.. the interesting thing is neither of us scared.. my case would have been i was just too sleepy to care.. (while guard personals are allowed to sleep.. the sleep comes in breaks of 4hours.. with 2 hours of guard duty in between.. so it isn't exactly restful sleep)
oh ya.. someone remind me to collect shoe polish from the other guard duty personals? bloody hell.. they must have had nothing to do in between guardings.. my kiwi finished the fastest in that one night, than in my entire BMT stay so far.. next time tell them to polish their own boots with their hair man.. some buggers really dunno how to be considerate *sigh*
