another wish list

Haha I just read Jun’s Blog, and he finally caved in to the idea that National Service really sucks big time. Many factors I would say adds up to NS being a total waste of time.
But most prominent factor I would say, is the culture, something I believe was only developed due to the fact the bulk of the staff are conscripts, how well do you expect a guy to work if he is paid a minimal allowance and forced to spend 2 years of his life doing things he doesn’t even like for people he dun care for?
Ah well, I guess its good for Jun in a way the he only started hating NS just before he finish serving his time.
For me I try not to think about it, but of course it does intrude into my thought more often then not about how I hate my life at this juncture, but its safe to safe I have grown quite numb to it.
I miss my friends, I miss my 6 good friends and my poly friends, and frankly I liked myself a lot better then. Its not saying I dun have nice friends over here, I like these guys although sometimes they dun know when to stop being asses, and I would honestly say that a few of them are really good to me and I am thankful for that.
Now….munmun is thinking of furthering her studies in design, and I fully support that idea, only I cant really help her, in terms of the monetary side of things, many a times I wished I had the money for her, which is the only thing stopping her from getting there.
But on saying that, I have a good level of hope that she would find another way around this obstacle, and come out tops as always.
I wish her will that would not desert her when she needs to push on, I wish her a rainbow when things dun seem so bright and I wish her heart that lets her know she isn’t alone in whatever she needs to do.
I wish my best friends Jun focus, for him to know what he needs to do, I wish him love, for him to remain happy as he was in primary school, I wish him friends, which I feel he already has quite a few, but the goods ones…that stick around.
And I wish the rest of my 6 good friends the will to do great things, kailin, max, yuling, jiaxiong and zhenlie.
Last but not least, my family, I wish my dad discipline to quit smoking and eat healthly, I wish my mom a worry-less retirement time, I wish my sister the fulfillment of her dreams and I wish my dog a healthy life.
This is my wish list.

last day b4 flying

Hmmm dun have much to write about…..going Australia tomorrow, for about a week. Going to visit my sister, a little wine tasting, and a chance to get out of Singapore. Hoping to get some magnificent shots in the process that’s y I am bringing the D70s camera along, wanted to bring the large format along….but I dun think I am going to be able to handle it well enough. I dun have the box to bring it around as well, ah well….maybe next time.
Going to miss munmun, and my doggy…..that’s the one thing I dun like about going overseas….it’s leaving people behind.
Ok bye guys! See you next week.

duty day

first time using a computer on my duty day …..waiting for the time to pass…..and guess what; I actually have internet access to help pass my time… life is looking a little up for me currently, cant complain about my predicament knowing that I have been through the worst that I could in SCME some time ago. Life is getting a lot better ever since the new clerks came.
My short term worry now would be the fact that the weather outside look dangerously to the point of a long and big downpour which only means that the ceiling above me would be leaking rain water….bumper….
Went out with my friends from Poly in the weekend, had a pleasantly nice time, feeling rather nostalgic at certain moments, but at the same time feeling a slight sense of lost that I had it good then, and I did not even take the time to appreciate. I know I will not be able to experience the lifestyle of a student in the future again and it saddens me, given the chance, I would do it better, much better.
My friends seem to have their own personal struggles too, as we all. And I can take heart too that we somehow are in this, together, trying to carve something out for ourselves and somehow through all that little complains, and frustration do something that we can be proud of.
Munmun has a own struggles that she will have to overcome, and I too have my own sets of problems. But like those overly-optimistic/ irritatingly happy people would say…..”Wouldn’t life be just boring if there weren’t and ups and downs?”
I leave you all, my friends especially those who feels down and out, a note of encouragement, better times will come, we just need to stick to our virtues and retain our will.
