ok i'm back here again...my mood is much better now...life was in quite a bit of mess for the past few weeks esp last weekend...at least i feel things are in better control now...really feel sometimes i have too many matters in hand and it becomes stress when u can't handle them well...i really hope the 3 weeks of absence in singapore will do some good for me...or maybe i shldn't put it this way...its sounds weird...at least make it meaningful...and when i come back, i think its the start of the sch holi and it'll be the holi season and the yr-end celebrations...come to think of it, time really passes by really fast...and soon it'll be a yr since i've enlisted...woa..shld start planning what to do from the time i come back till the end of the yr....cause i shld have quite some days to rest...days off given for the wallaby exercise and the few days of leave that i need to clear....wanted to go on an overseas trip initially but the plan didn't realise cause of the exercise....but there's one tentative one planned next yr with my camp mates...can't wait for that period of rest towards the end of the yr...cause i've always enjoyed the festive mood during that period and i've already set aside a sum of money to spend too...its time that i stock up on new stuff already...better not anticipate that too early or i'll get too excited...i'll still have to go through the exercise first...my first time to australia but too bad its not for a holiday...haha...i'll have a briefing next week on the trip...so by then, i'll get to know exactly what time i'll be leaving and what time i'll reach back... next week will be super boring for me...have to stay in office for the whole week while the rest gets to take turns to go plc...sian...

was listening to the james blunt album i just bought for the entire night...it has been a long time since there is an album where every song is equally enjoyable....no wonder it has been so well-received in uk last yr....i nv seem to get sick of repeating the cd on the player for the whole yr and this morning....really need to read the lyrics in order to appreciate his songs better...was supposed to get a cd burnt with his songs but in the end i've decided to buy his album cause its really worth the money...so dun bother borrowing the cd from me..i wld recommend u go buy it....

It has been a terribly long week, or at least it seems…everyone in the branch was beginning to feel very dull and moody…partly due to our new dy s3…isn’t the best person to have ard in the office…dun wan to go into the details…irritating just to tell abt him…a lot of office politics going on recently…pple are too stressed-out, causing quite a bit of conflicts..and its not the cohesive environment that it used to be….things are getting bad…..some pple are really selfish and self-centred, others are just too slack…what can we do? We live in this environment and we have to live with it till we leave….i’ll rather regard them as colleagues than friends….
At least something to lighten up the mood on wed….was actually spending a boring nights off with a grp of them who were equally bored and sian as me….decided to return to camp early since we can’t find anything that we were interested in doing….met alwyn at the gate….haven’t met them for ages since he seems to be mia for a while….decided to visit the s1 branch bunk pple who were having steamboat/bbq…they just started not too long ago and there were much food left over….went over to take a look and ended up joining them although I’ve jus eaten dinner…ended up having lotsa food left over….decided to play that ‘secret password’ game so that the losers for the game can help to finish the food….everyone ended up enjoying themselves, cracking jokes and laughing at one another….those pple are the more playful type and hanging out with them really pulls me away from the moody atmosphere that my branch pple has been experiencing for the past few days….
Enough of what happened this week…I hope this kind of environment wldn’t stay for long….i really do hope things will change for the better soon….

the past few days have been pretty long tiring...the whole of mon was spent at the old keat hong camp site, clearing up the area so that it can handed over to the authority for the construction of ITE west....i was looking forward to visiting the site since my upperstudy always mention abt stories that happened within the old camp site....the past few days were spent on the BTOC (bridage tactical operation centre) drill...this is the first time most of us were doing it, so we were quite new to the concept....most of us were shagged out by the end of the drill cause we had to repeat the construction of the whole site-up for practice and it became tiresome....but there was a sense of achievement at the end of the day looking at the final prodt, since we started everything from scratch....fyi, i'm be going to wallaby from 16 oct to 4 nov for an exercise...places were limited, so i treasured the opportunity to be able to go....i know this will be tough since it is the first time after a long period i'll be going outfield since bmt...but i think sometimes i do lk such training esp if your fellow mates are equally enthusiastic and easy to work with...jason and mf will be going for this trip to, so companionship wise, i need not worry...i really do hope that this will be a memorable exercise, something which i'll always rmb....will be looking forward towards it even if the training is going to be tough (although i dun think so...)....although its more than a month more to go, i think i'll started getting mentally prepared for this trip and make sure that i settle my stuff before i leave...i know i'm only going for less than 3 weeks only but i dun lk the feeling of having unaccomplished stuff and later having to worry abt them when i come back...although i really do enjoy this oppotunity, it'll be the first time i'll be overseas, away from my family and most of my friends for such a long period of time...i wonder how i'm going to survive through this period w/o feeling homesick....i really do hope that this wld not be a worry for me so that i can leave with a peaceful mind....tmr will be a gd day....
