Its CNY

My sis came back to Singapore end of last year!
Finally had another 100% attendance CNY in a few years.
Well she's unemployed, but i don't worry for her i'm sure a good job will come up sooner or later, she honours student what. The whole recession just abit of bad weather. And with the whole financial system crashing and burning i guess bankers won't be paid as well anymore.

It was a nice CNY, tuan yuan fan, visiting, taking photos, collecting angpows. Haha i like angpows. The money in them don't really mean so much to me, its more of what they represent, well wishes and good intentions. Awwww. I usually keep them until my mom empties the money out and chucks them somewhere.

We even went to my dad's friend's house in JB. JB's pretty scary with all the tales of the robbings and snatchings and stuff. They were telling us about how to protect yourself in JB and where's safer and where's not as safe. His rottweiler was really damn cute. Its like a 6 month old playful bear-like thing. Really beautiful too. Just that when you're happily slapping its head, there's always this nagging feeling at the back of your head that tells you it can rip of your head if it forgets to be nice for even just a second.

Well i just got back from camp today. Haha milling around as a "consultant" now. Dunno when i'll get to chuck the stupid green pajamas away. I'm getting quite tired of all the responsibilities. Though i do admit i'll miss some of my platoon. The druggies, the depressed emo kids, the gangsters, the dumbassapples, the professional chefs etc. But i really can't wait to !#*%!(#%& off from that (%*@*%!@%hole of a place. I haven't been promoted yet dammit i think there's an admin lapse somewhere for that. The chief clerk on leave. How da like that. Stuupid red tape.

My mouth has huge %*(*#% holes now. Took out my wisdom teeth, 1100+ dollars courtesy of the SAF. Well my dentist had been nagging me for a really long time so i thought hey if i was going to let them drill around my mouth, i better damn well be asleep. So yeah it was quite an experience, falling asleep on the operating table (my second GA op mind you), and deliriously pulling out the stuffings from my mouth to ask the time while they kept trying to stuff them back. It hurt like *#(*%(#*% for a few hours but then i only took one pain killer and in two days i was HECK IT I EAT FOODZ. 8 Days of mc:D NO I AM NOT KENG i have only taken 1 day off in my post-comissioning NS life.

And i'm doing oil painting! I bought my own easel during my period of oral discomfort and holiness and i'm working on my second painting! I was BEST STUDENT and the teacher says the colours are DAMN ZAI. I hope i don't screw it up in the next few layers and adding details. I discovered the trick of getting nice texture is just to spam oil and not be as kiam as i was the last painting and try to smear everything using linseed oil.




















I love you ji dear. I'm not sticky these days, i'm just less busy. Too bad you have that school thing of yours.

Aand i got an offer to do A100 med at Edinburgh, now 75-25 about going there, 75 for, 25 apprehensive. Well it was my dream school after melbourne closed its undergrad prog and NUS didn't even bother to reply me. But it is 5 years and that's a really long time and Edinburgh is really far away, even from London.

But then again it seems to be a good time to go to UK to study, with the pound falling to an all time low and it looks set to fall even lower with the lowering of the interest rates and stuff. I just hope it doesn't crash and get replaced by the euro any time soon.

I'm still going there end feb for a month to HOLIDAY though. And still going to sit through through the other interviews since my dear jiji has already booked me train tickets and maybe it'll be good practice for me.

YAY HOLIDAY.

Then when i go back i'm going to work at macdonalds or something like that. I've always wanted to try working from behind a counter. I think its cool.

Playing left4dead with Nd, nic and david last friday was really fun. All the screaming and shouting and nerves. Hahaha. Good time.

I'll miss the guys who go to Aussie to do med. Had loads of good stoning and crapping sessions with them. Haha there was one countdown at nic's place where we played soul calibre with gay guys into the wee hours of the morning. Then there's david my wonderful PW group mate. HI 154 is the rocks man. And there's bernard, great leader of 05s78. Will miss you guys.
