July

July is a special milestone in my NS life. It is the start of a period when weekends no longer are weekends and weekday are no longer weekdays. Being on duty on the missile site has its pros and cons. Time passes faster, but at the same time, my entire calendar is messed up. From the month of July, I can start the official countdown to ORD. By September, I will no longer be spending time in camp. Instead, I will be rotating between clearing leave and being on site duty. At the same time, I start to reflect on my NS life. But I will post about it on the date of ORD. The only thing I can say now is that it has been the most memorable period of my life. Nothing beats it, and I doubt if anything ever will.

I have been putting off my registration for driving for ages. Still can't shake off my procrastination habit after all these years. Although I had this sudden urge to pick up driving a few weeks ago, my plan to register at Ubi never materialise. I can't explain this sudden urge, but perhaps it is due to my desire to finally grow up and accept certain responsibilities. Yes, I have been shirking resposibilities, things that I ought to do, but didn't want to do. Just like in the office, when my poor buddy had to cover up for me several times. Many people would blame this on being on 'ORD' mode, but not me. I know that it is just plain laziness.
And then I began to think of the kind of attitude I will eventually bring out from NS. Most probably, I would do the same to my studies and later on, my career. Well, being the self-loving me, I decided it can't happen. SO, I promised myself to change. (,") Scold me if I haven't applied for driving by next weekend.

Oh yes, the SAF Day parade was a success. The things I've gained from it? A couple of off days and a nice tan on my face(but some say it isn't nice, grr..), and the ability to stand on 2 legs for prolonged periods of time when waiting for my friends and May.

I placed some small bets at S-Pools this World Cup(really small). Then it dawned on me that actually, I have been gambling on many other things in life. I don't usually analyse the matches before making the bets. It goes the same for the decisions I make in life. I rarely do research on the issues I need to decide on. But luckily, I have Lady Luck on my side for most of my life. That's how I managed to pull through to such a good platform for my adulthood.

Anyway I am blogging from Eve's house. The others are singing but I'm tired from duty and soccer the previous day. Just waiting for the match later.
