I went to Yuki-Yaki on Friday for a flight outing. It wasn't that great. Even the novel idea of making ice-cream yourself is not that fantastic after all. For one, it tasted weird. Go there another time? Well, I have to consider. I met my old SISPEC friend there too. He was i the same bunk as me. Looks like he is not enjoying his job in the infantry now. Compared to many people, I am lucky, really. Nowadays, the thought of booking in is not as dreadful as those times when I was a trainee. Booking in is like going into hibernation, until the next time when I book out. Life in camp can't be any simpler. I have a strong feeling that this is the simplest kind of life I will ever get.

Talking about life, I read an article about a person who has tongue cancer today, as well as a very successful man who had cancer(brain i think). 2 of them are high-flyers brought down to Earth in a very cruel and harsh way. And then I wondered, will they go peacefully, satisfied with their accomplishments or will they regret the many small things they had not done yet. It is strange that although all of us know that death can come at, "snap!", any moment, we still refuse to live life as according to what we want to do. And when it is time to go, regrets start to overwhelm us, but it is too late. So why not start now? Start learning the saxophone, making people laugh, reading a favourite book, confessing your feelings to someone, spending more time with your family. I have started my little journey to do what I want to do and be. Bit by bit, it adds up. And when it is time to go, the heart is at peace. Don't get me wrong, I am not going yet, the articles just struck a chord in me.

I received a letter from NUS recently, telling me to attend an interview and written test for the Business-Law Double Degree Programme. My initial excitement turned into frustration as it appears that I have to go for the law interview and written test all over again. I am not sure if they know I have already qualified for it. It would be a total waste of time and effort should I have to go do it all over again.

Happy Birthday May!! Love you!
