things i have done in the past few days1 watched
Army Daze, thanks to dear K. great acting, but a disappointment with regard to the show's being true to life and therefore unreliable claims of "research being done to make the show more true to today's army"
2 rushed scholarship applications which i think was an utter waste of time since i haven't gotten any calls yet.
3 tried carl's jr. a tad overrated in my opinion, maybe i need to make better choices in the future.
4 came close to buying some nice books, but didn't because i thought borders would be cheaper than kino and i went to the latter first. kino was cheaper, but i was too lazy to go back again because my shoes were giving me blisters. borders is only good if you want a place to sit down, because kino has a much wider selection at better prices.
5 went to esplanade to check out Mosaic and laughed at this psychotic act cool guy who does choreographed mtv rock concert moves, and whose forehead kisses his organ. (fuck the last part sounds damn wrong)
6 briefly acquainted (about say 10 seconds) with a retard called Vanessa, whom i think i'll never be seeing ever again in my life, thank god.
7 plucked up my courage to do something, despite knowing that the chances of success would be almost nil. not giving up though. not now, not ever.
8 went clubbing and got drunk; no details given not because i don't remember a thing, but because it's not prudent to.
9 dentist's review; good to know that my diligence and discipline with my retainers is paying off.
10 ian's birthday party thing which was also a chance for the platoon to catch up and talk shit. watched part of the infamous "tammy" video, which was a huge snoozefest. i wonder if the guy feels relieved or disappointed that no one even gives a hoot about him, since everyone's just obsessed with his really ugly ex-girlfriend (while we're at it. she has no boobs, and the part where he was working on that area looked like a gay sex video). it must be pretty sad being an unknown amateur pornstar, fading back into middleclass obscurity. at least tammy has the option of going down the same road as annabel chong. then again, an imbecile who goes "ew! i see blood" probably doesn't deserve any fame (or infamy) whatsoever. don't mind me, just musing.

my template's screwing up and that is making me a very unhappy boy indeed. how are people going to tag! or link to other blogs! or access my archives! ):
and i must say that i never knew pop culture could be so educational! seriously, you think many people knew what "vendetta" or "emancipation" meant before natalie portman shaved her head and mariah carey decided to be a screaming comeback queen? or how about "vindicated" and "prerogative". this is so unfair. this is why i do not like pop culture. what's the point of being educated when un-educated half fucks can learn things by the graces of some random, slutty pop tart.
why "vendetta" anyway? why not "viagra" or "vagina"? or even "virginfuck" or "vasectomy"? i think hollywood should just stick to selling sex instead of cheeminology. works much better.

tomorrow, it finally begins. BMT was good cos everyone was still together in one place, and it felt like a home, in an odd way. seeing all those familiar faces was comforting.
now, with most of the guys going to command school and the remnants scattered all around singapore, it's going to feel much more alien and lonely. apparently, travel time to where i'm supposed to go to will clock about 2 hours. not very good when i'm supposed to report at 8 tomorrow.
i know i'll make new friends and everything will end up fine, but it's just very intimidating at this point in time. this is where the real NS begins.
mike just took up your time at
