Woot~! Today begins the first of a few long weekends that i'm gonna stay in the civvie world due to the many lovely offs that i have now. Fantastic... The only thing that is missing now would be extra cash to get the many things that I wanna get. :(
Anyways, my com was the target of yet another virus attack recently, but luckily with the help of Yang, I was able to save it, and the best thing is that its now running on WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE~! Uber shiokness... Though a lil bit laggy due to my pathetic 1GB ram, its still a nice platform to work with. :P Hopefully by the time I enter NUS with my own laptop, the NUS system will be compatible with Windows 7 which will be the OS of my new laptop!
With nothing to do in camp and the lack of nice games for the psp, I've resorted to watching videos. Currently got like 11 movies and 1 season of The Big Bang Theory (which is a very hilarious comedy sitcom) in my psp, and counting. Lucky the malfunction of my screen is a small matter, if not i'll be one sad and bored soldier. Haha~!
Oh well, its back to the movies then~!

Rahhhhh... Temptations EVERYWHERE!!!
I once said that i'll NEVER buy Apple products... I also once said that i'll NEVER buy Crumpler products too... But now, I take it back... ALL back...
Looking at the iPhone my dad just got for himself and a new "discovery" I made today while at an Apple store, I changed my mind... It was an instant 180 degree turnover. Snap, just like that. The end result? I feel like getting an iPod Nano or an iTouch...
And then there's the bag issue... I'm gonna need a good-sized, comfortable and of course good-lookin' messenger bag. Three years ago, I thought my Tagger was up to the task, but now it seems my initial choice of a Crumpler was better... Now I hope I can find one on Ebay since it's gonna be much cheaper there...
Haiz, both items are what I consider wallet-sinful items... Unlimited wants, limited resources... Scarcity is haunting me again... Damn I hope that back-pay is gonna be substantial, so maybe I can get myself a nice Christmas present. Hehehe~~~

 Was blog-hopping a while ago till i chanced upon this picture off a friend's blog... Kinda reminds me of my days in jc... The endless cycle of eat, sleep, work, with the occasional DOTA games... Yup, that's about it...
Sometimes I wished I could have done more, like did more sports so my fitness would not be so cui now, or being more active in the area that I have a passion in, like the life sciences... I had the time to take up attachments and stuff, but I did not...
I guess I had too many commitments in other places, doing things to help other people till I had totally forgotten about myself... In those days, my mind was pretty much just about 'A' levels, guitar, 15/07 and BGR, and nothing about being me and doing things for myself. The stuff that I did in those areas are very good and meaningful things, but somehow I didn't go home feeling as fulfilled or satisfied as I should be. I see people enjoying themselves and become satisfied and fulfilled individuals, but I can't feel the same...
It was always "others before self"... Perhaps I focused on the "others" so much till I forgot the "self"? I told myself things are gonna change once NS starts, but 11 months in and i'm still feeling the same... Giving way to other's interests while putting my own on hold... Maybe that's why i'm such a "pillow" now, absorbing all the impact from the "rocks" and not hitting back while remaining relatively unharmed...
Is that me? I'm still trying to find out...
