Tuesday, January 31, 2006 - yawn. : i have to go CMPB tomorrow at 0800 hrs.

(T_T)

and tomorrow is my book-in day. i want to stay AT HOME and SLACK before i go back to the Island and be locked in there for the next 16 days.

yes you read it right.

16 days.

16 days of unadulterated hell.

why 16 days? shouldn't us poor recruits be able to book out on weekends? oh ho ho ho... its because BMTC School 2 decided to take the weekends of the next 2 weeks and place it together with CNY!

so therefore, we get a holiday block of 6 days! what a deal!

but of course, no such deal actually exists. (T_T)

the first thing that's going to to happen when i get back, is this thing called field camp. its this period of 7 days where you don't get to bathe and your face is perpetually green and black. with face paint that is.

after which, i have SIT test which ALSO involves me spending 3 days and 2 nights out in the field. and when i say field, its not in some nice, grassy plain where i can prance around like a donkey.

ITS A FREAKING JUNGLE.

actually, Pulau Tekong doesn't even qualify as a forest, not to mention a jungle.

heck. Tekong is just a place with.....trees. -__-

you see, there are 4 degrees of vegetation. first, you have the JUNGLE. then the FOREST. then....TREES. then....GRASS.

and there are grasshoppers and crickets EVERYWHERE. i just hope one doesn't happily decide to jump in my mouth when im sleeping and go "CRREEEEEEEECK CRREEEEEECCCCK CREEEEEECCCKKKKKKKK....". :X

i seriously have nooo idea how im going to survive 16 days in camp, of which 10 days are out in the field. x_X

anyways, moving on to less depressing matters, CNY this year, (as with every year) is getting progressively uneventful.... i visited a grand total of 3 houses. not including my own.

and thus the angpow collection was proportional to the number of visitations.

and just to digress a bit,

can you believe there are still people out there who put TWO DOLLARS in an angpow!?!?!??!?

I myself would DIE of embarrassment before i even put the 2 miserable dollars in the red packet, much less GIVE it to somebody.

i tell you, they should make it a law punishable by *insert action* if anyone actually tried to pull off such a stunt.

in fact, i think its almost insulting lah! hai. typical typical singaporeans...
