'It is our choices...that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.'--J. K. Rowling, Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets

Hey. It's been quite awhile since i've last written. Well, its been close to 3 weeks since i've booked into camp tekong, and now 2003 is almost coming to an end.

Seems pretty fast, doesn't it? Sure doesn't seem so in camp. Time really drags on there, its like a whole new time portal or something. So far, it's been pretty ok there, training's tahan-able, made a few good friends etc. But its amazing how it screws your mind up. I mean, besides losing all track of time, you lose track of tv programmes and latest movies, and the only 'top 20' you know consists entirely of army songs. Although i do get a brief respite thanks to my job as the office cleaner, cos they turn the radio on in the office. The first time i entered, i felt as though i've returned to civilisation. They were playing jars of clay on the radio. Heh but some person turned it off after 2 minutes, leaving me with the ol' so familiar strains of army singing.

Anyway, won't go too much into life there, cos one of my resolutions for 2004 is not to become some ignorant 'pokhead' who has nothing to talk about except for army life.

2 people leaving for overseas for further studies in 2 days. I'm becoming pretty familiar with the navigation of changi airport now. When will it be my turn? For now, i just have to contend myself with looking at planes take off from a distance, at some offshore island opposite changi airport, and accept the fact that any travelling i do in the near future will be by fastcraft alone.

Had a pretty good new year's eve eve. Went out for a cocktail at esplanade, before going to k-ster at chinatown for karaoke-ing. Haha i must admit, its pretty stress busting. Walked around till around 4 in the morning, before proceeding to the airport to sleep. Changi airport at 5 in the morning is a beautiful place. Really. Especially when you're alone and soaking up the solitude. It's real nice. Couldn't get any sleep though. Mental note: Closed sushi bars don't make good sleeping places.

Anyway, gotta go enjoy what's left of this new year break. Cya around.
