So what have I done since the last time I posted? Haha so long ago.
Had a very religious conversation with Jonathan, Tang and Elston at Coffee Bean. I’m not very religious. I suppose it’s natural to have doubts about the bible and God and religious stuff unless you really have a life-changing experience that was a result of God’s actions. But church is still a nice place(:
Went for equipping. Basically just trying on the sizes for the boots, shoes, uniform and helmet and luckily they are going to send our stuff to Tekong directly so we didn’t have to drag all those things home on our own. After equipping I met Shaqillah. Will have to bring her out to somewhere more fun before I get enlisted and only have my precious weekends left haha.
Baked macarons at Elston’s house with Jonathan, Tang and Maojia! Maojia left early, and Dayna joined us for lunch. At first it was quite fun but after the first few batches, it became so tiring. Ended really late, but the macarons that we brought home made everything worth it! :D Hahaha so cool now I can tell people I’ve baked macarons before :D
Had my final tuition sessions with Mann and Shon. I miss teaching (and talking to) them already haha. Teaching is really such a joy(: I don’t think it would be in a classroom setting though.
Went out with Jerdine to Suntec and basically walked around all the malls there haha. Until our feet got really sore and we had to sit down and had tea:D Which reminds me, I’ve been spending a lot recently, going out so much. But I better treasure my time and the luxury of buying what I want to eat and use before I lose that freedom soon hahaha.
Sixeighters’05 lunch was pretty good. Some people decided not to turn up at the last minute though, so we had lots of leftover pizza, which Tang brought home. Mrs Wong came down for awhile!(: Spent most of the time thinking of a question like “What cca were you in?” and going round answering that question. And played indian poker and did balloon sculpting and played pepsicola hands version. Quite nice catching up(:
16Jan – 18Jan was job shadowing at NUH. So glad there were two other people too. Dept of Psychological Medicine. Quite interesting, seeing such patients for real, not like on tv where they always portray psycho people in such extreme light. Need to work on the written report now.
Went to BoonSiong’s house after my last day at NUH. I was late so didn’t catch Mrs Soong. Mr Cheong treated us to dinner!:D And after that we went up. Tand Elston and I were the only sane ones. We focused on fixing a puzzle, while the rest were singing karaoke hahah.
Went out with Shoun quite a few times too, mostly in between/after my various appointments/activities.
Papa came back on thursday! Mummy and I went to fetch him since sis was in school. Had lunch at the airport before we cabbed down to mindef. Phototaking for 11B. I’m probably going to hold that for don’t-know-how-long if I decide to stay. Really can’t tell whether I’ll stay for now, cos it’s too hard to say if I’ll enjoy life inside if I can’t do what I want most. Maybe I’ll still enjoy though, who knows. It’s just that I lost one motivation and I’ll have to find another one. Hahaha money is one big motivation though! The pay is good:D But also that my parents must pay a lot if I decide to quit. But somehow I feel that the penalty for breaking the provisional bond isn’t very harsh. It favours/protects the scholars more than it does the organization. SIgned the agreement and contract too. Lots of perks for a SAF employee, really. Got some updates from air force, but I’m not going to have too much hope on that anymore. At least for now.
Yesterday I went to watch Dance Dance Dragon with my family. Quite a good show if you understand chinese&dialect, like local productions and like singaporean humour. My uncle’s coming up for dinner tonight, and tmr is reunion dinner at my aunt’s house. Cny is coming!! Angpaos hahaha.
I ran this morning after not running for a week due to the NUH thing. But my timing was still good! Although it’s a really short distance la. But this is the distance I’ve been running all along. Maybe I should up the distance so I won’t die when I go in. Heard there’s a lot of running D:
Not sure if I’m excited about Tekong life now haha. More of nervous and slightly scared now. Counting down – 10 more days! Feels so surreal, actually being at this stage. Whatever happened to the me who used to dream of a job which was not physical at all, which was more suitable for someone academically stronger.
Oh and I can’t go for airshow ):
