I'm sick. Sick of waking up every morning at 0600 hrs (OMG why am I using this format?). Sick of taking the bloody train full of bloody people. Sick of squeezing my ass off the Boon Lay station platform. Sick of the bloody long route to my office.
It's about 5 more months. Or is it 6? I really do not know, not that I do not care. I do care, but I can't be bothered to count. It's too painful. Painful to know the exact number of days to freedom, yet you can't do anything to speed things up. Perhaps to not think about it is the best way to soften pain.
I'm trying my best to do a whole lot of things. Revising. Teaching. Learning. Exercising (or lack thereof). Damn it. Time just fails to allow me the luxury to do all at once. But I believe once freedom impends it will equate to a lot more accomplished. Let's take a look at things:
Monday: Wake up at 1000 hrs, head to the gym and lunch by 1300, prepare materials for tuition till 1600, use the computer till 1800, dinner and then tuition. Finally bed.
Tuesday: Wake up at 1000 hrs, slack around at home with computer, prepare materials for tuition the whole afternoon, tuition and dinner. Finally bed.
Wednesday: Wake up at 1200 hrs. Do nothing the whole day. Sleep.
Thursday: Wake up at 1000 hrs, tuition in the afternoon. Head to the gym after that. Dinner. Computer. Sleep.
Friday: Wake up at 1100 hrs. Prepare tuition materials the morning. Go do some cardio (swimming/running). Tuition at night. Go dinner and party till 0100 or 0200. Shiok.
Saturday: Tuition, tuition and more tuition. Thereafter party.
Sunday: Same as above.
Rinse and repeat the above till July 09. NOW ISN'T THAT COOL? AS COMPARED TO THE BELOW:
Monday: Wake up at 0600 hrs. Go to camp. Do nothing/pointless crap. Go home at 1900. Prepare for tuition materials. Sleep.
Tuesday: Same as above.
Wednesday: Same as above.
Thursday: Same as above.
Friday: Same as above.
Saturday: Tuition. Hang out with friends. Play computer, and the occasional duty (F it)
Sunday: Tuition. Hang out for lunch. Play computer, and the occasional duty (F THAT)
I am sure a change to my above routine for 2 bloody years will definitely be healthier for my body. I'm still young, many more years ahead. I do not want to be unhealthy and die a young age.
SOMEBODY SAVE ME!!!!

National Service?
I can't believe I'm blogging again. Somehow, on my way to my tutee's house, I had this really really really really (I can't emphasise just HOW MUCH) strong and immense and powerful and strong and immense and.... feeling. It's just overwhelming.
I'm rewinding back to 2 years ago. What the hell was I doing? I was in JC, making my best efforts studying (hopefully, but that wasn't really the case as I was still pretty hard on gaming). Somehow it translated to me thinking about those colleagues who ORDed last year - they were actually enlisting and were slogging it out in NS. It's just so weird thinking about that in the same timeframe, people are actually carrying out different things in their life. And I quickly look back to now - I'm actually in my old colleagues shoes, serving the country while there's probably some dude out there studying and full of bliss that life is perfect. BUT NOT QUITE DUDE!
It's a strange and weird feeling which I do not know of any means to convey it out in text. It's in my head and body now, probably chilling out after I left it alone. But now I'm activating it again in order to blog it.
Just a bare year ago, I was just posted to my current unit, thinking that 2 years is going to be really hard to pass and shits like that. Well it was, in that time, for me. Time was moving on so slowly that it is tolling on me. I've always wondered how happy, excited, free, crazy, insane that I'll feel when I ORD. But I couldn't really feel it, I was just guessing my feelings. But now, a year has passed, and it's only 6 months or so before that day really come. And this fateful morning the feelings came to me. I can actually feel the pre-ORD feelings that will come pretty soon in November/December/January. The feeling I will be having in camp as I prepare to go ORD. I can actually feel it. It is so strong. And today I can almost feel it when it's 23rd January. The happiness is so strong. The joy. The extreme passion that makes me want to shout it out loud.
I don't think anybody can understand how I feel. Even those who ORDed will feel differently. To those who always say how happy they will be upon ORD (when theirs is like so long away), I'll like to say this - you know nothing. Even I can only vaguely feel it and I'm 6 months away.
I guess I finally found out what good NS does to a Singaporean male -
ORD can possibly be the happiest day in your life.

Blog update - Once in a while
Okay, I must admit I'm as hell as lazy.... Lazy to update stuff here. These days, either I'm too tired out in camp or I'm busy facebooking. Really, I have not much energy and time to maintain a blog.. So I'll basically not be updating very frequently. I might not update anymore. But that's just me! Lazy!

Tiring, tiring, week
What a week.. So exhausted.. And there's still 4 more weeks to go before the end of such exhausion. I'm getting sick already, with the lack of sleep and healthy home-cooked food. Sigh..
Anyway, SARS is doing a pretty good job with releasing all the dramas I'm watching so quickly! HanaKimi is completed, First Kiss will be completed next week (or maybe earlier) and Nodame Cantabile completed next week (earlier?). So surprising that nodame is release twice in a week for 2 weeks now! So happy about this.. First Kiss was also released earlier than HanaKimi. Ha! But I haven't have time to watch either 3 shows. I'm busy with War of Money, a Kdrama! Surprise surprise!
By the way, FaceBook is hell lots of fun! So many funny applications to add on, lots of interaction etc.. Fun!

How to save money?!
Seriously.. My dream (or rather, goal) of saving up a mini-fortune for myself looks bleak.. And precious time is slipping by.. Everyday of procastination leads to loss cash.. I just can't seem to start reading up about those unit trusts etc, to boost my % returns. And I'm spending a lot more, with the acupunture treatment on my arm becoming another new expenditure.
And my tuition assignments are going really too slowly! Not that I'm the one delibrately missing lessons, my students are the ones who always have last-minute cock ups. And now, come next week, I'm not going to be available one weekdays. This will go on all the way till end October.

Nodame Cantabile
This is such a good show! I can't believe I forgot talking about it.
This show's about a very talented pianist/violinist, Chiaki, who aspires to be a conductor since young. However he has a phobia of both travelling by plane and by boat(ship). Thus, he's stucked in Japan with no room to perform. Then, there's this girl, Megumi Noda (aka Nodame), who's a lazy, dirty, sloppy pianist and happens to be Chiaki's junior, and so happens to stay next door to Chiaki. Well it's about both of the characters developing with each other's support.
I'm currently only to episode 6, but it's good! It's funny with those ridiculous acts (like smacking someone hard in the face and that dude just flies), and yet, the emotions in the show just appeal so strongly to me. I really like this show. Even U-weekly reviewed this show!

Today
I miss my tuition 'cause the student suddenly couldn't make it. Damn. Now, it's not that I don't want to teach, it's them not being able to make it, last minute. Sigh. I really am motivated to go teach. I want to make money!
Now, I'm thinking of creating a website where I will source for articles to help students in their school life, as well as writing some of my own based on personal experiences. I can also engage my friends to write! Though I highly doubt such possibilities... They can hardly take time out to go out, let alone writing an article of length averaging 1k words.. Haha.
I am determined to finish Adam Khoo's books. As soon as possible. I want money!
And I am also looking to forming a DotA team. I want to join some competition and have fun! I want to play together in a team. I'm intending to rope Beng, gowad, doomie etc. If I can get some others like toi, wargods, it would be great. We would be a team with all solo game players! It's cool isn't it!
