Its been a nice break. NDP, shopping, soccer and chilling out. Making new friends too. Well. This is definately better than the army life. Well, maybe it seems better only because we've been deprived of it for the past few months. Ya. Could be a government conspiracy to make us male singaporeans appreciate singpore a little more. Maybe. Possibly. Quite likely. Who cares. All i know is that i get a break from the army regime of which i really really hate even though i love the idea of being a soldier.

The day started off with me reading a letter from Community Chest. Turns out that they've already started deducting $5 every month from my bank account since july. Cool. That's the least i can do for now to help the needy. Maybe when i earn more, i can contribute more or something. Make a real difference to other's life. Or i could stick to THAT original plan which i had drawn out in sec 4. We'll see how my life will eventually turn out to be.

After that was soccer at LAvender. Nice session. Didnt go for the sake of playing soccer(hell, i suck at it!) but for the company that i had for the day. Its nice doing something different with the same guys sometimes. Not very...urm...regimental? Ya. Not very regimental at all. No time limit, no time given. Own time, own target. Just the way we like it....

Then it was lunch at bugis. Went home. Changed up to go watch the fireworks. Had a sudden change of plan. Bumped into my buddies. Hung out with them. Fireworks was damn cool. The uncool part was the crowd. Yeah. Crowd. Just when i taught i was among the really few who would appreciate this kind of thing, a few(thousand) others turned out to be the appreciative kind too. How wonderful. Anyways, that singaporeans. They can turn out in huge numbers for something quite trivial or even unimportant to them. But why do they still attend it anyway? Well, coz everyone else is doing it too. And they do not want to lose out at all. Oh maybe they just thought it was nice. Yeah. That's a more likely story.

Soon, it'll be back to the army. The ARMY. SAF. Silly Armed Forces. REally sickens me when i keep thinking about the fact that its already the weekend. Come sunday evening, im back in my military attire. Full gear. Ready to assault the enemy once more.....

Anyways, attending the NDP made me realize that training to become a soldier wasnt really a waste of time at all. Because of people like me, Singapore got to waste a few million dollars worth of taxpayers money on funpacks and stupid artistic dancingy thingy. Screw the funpacks! more fireworks!
