It has been a nice week for me, considering how I spent my previous weeks. Things are just working out well at the moment. I won't be surprised if I get posted out soon. And it's going to be another re-adjustment period for me. It is good becasue of the fact that I learn how to adapt to my surroundings quickly and also to make friends faster. Actually, every difficult moment I go through is a blessing in disguise.

My lips are dry and peeling. I did not have sufficient fluid going down my throat for the past few weeks I suppose. Anyway, I have no idea why I always wake up at 9am no matter what time I sleep. It's getting irritating. I can't sleep once it is 9am, even if I force my eyes shut. My brain would have already started work. I don't even need an alarm clock for my weekends. And I'm suppose to sleep tp my fill these 2 days. Oh boy, but I don't feel really tired and that is a plus point. Maybe my days of pigging are well over. I have more time to do my things too. It is like adding a couple of hours to my day schedule.

I realised I have been spending my money like nobody's business. Partly because I eat breakfast in the canteen everyday now. I also crave expensive food like sushi during the weekends as well as entertainment like going to the movies. My army salary is definitely insufficient to keep up to my living standards in the long-term. Not that I am a spendthrift, just that everyting is getting expensive. Things like movie tickets. It seems like they are out to suck me dry. But hey no! I will stay away from the cinemas now. I'm not paying for one person, but 2 mind you. Well, unless some great movie like 'Pearl Harbour' shows up again. Oh ya, not to mention my transport fees. It is another blood sucker. I should do some calculation one day and find out if having a car is more economical. But I guess not, the government would never make it happen.

Speaking of cars, I don't intend to get my license so soon. Did I mention this before? Anyway, I don't want the responsibility of having to drive my family around once I have the qualifications. And what's a license without a car of my own. I am still a poor guy. No money of any kind to speak of. No doubt, I realise how inconvenient it would be without a car, considering the place I live in.

this week would be quite an interesting week. I am meeting a lot of people and I will be attached out for one day on Tuesday. Something to do with packing rations I think. Come to think of it, I have done many different jobs since I was out of course. Training to be a versatile soldier. Haha.
