words that few will see
it's been a while since i last blogged.
a month to be exact. it's not like anyone really misses reading what i write here anyway.
most peoples blogs have mostly died out cause of the advent of other technology such as Twitter , Facebook and godknows what else.
so i guess not many still see a reason for blogging.
afterall , it takes precious time to type out these words that few will see or even read.
in my circle of friends and family , blogging has more or less died out ...
why than am i here ?
well i guess if not for others,
i'd like to keep little reminders of my thoughts and what i've done
what not use a diary than ?
the thought has occurred to me but i'm still too lazy.
i've gotten a free diary from starbucks.
just a simple book. but these days in camp, there just isn't the right feeling to sit down and pen down one's thoughts. time is best spent unwinding and relaxing one's mind.
much has happened since my last entry.
most of it things that have made me happy.
right after my coy's exercise in dec
was nearly two continuous weeks of leave
during which i spent much time catching up with friends and family
spent the first couple of days in penang with my vschoir friends - zx, johnnie, jeremy and roy.
although it was short and rather rushing ... i still enjoyed it
it felt great to be out of singapore and out of my routine life
was a great chance to practice my rather rusty photography skills.
most of the photos are on facebook so i'll be glad if you would pop there to take a look (:
met up with most of my close friends over the christmas period ...
my first christmas in the army ... didn't really feel very christmasy
still the company was good
met up with cousins amanda , xiang and shuwei for a day of photography and chillin
went to the bukit timah rail way tracks , haji lane and ate at like 4 different places !
really enjoyed myself and got some good shots , which are also on facebook
hehe
spent the days before new year's day catching up with johnnie and ks on two seperate days ?! talked alot. really felt like we didn't have a worry in the world ... but it was just a brief respite from the world.
spent new year's eve at Dian's 21st , was the first time i actively took shots for such an event
it was fun and interesting and i'm rather glad the shots came out ok , was shooing at iso1000 and was worried about the noise ... after the party , rushed down to meet ht , nick , kel , fab , daryl and josh and marina square for the countdown to the new year
new years day was spent meeting my SI buddies to catch up
wanted to catch a movie but timing for that day were really screwed up
ended up just chillin, having dinner than went back home.
spent saturday evening meeting up with some of my serve cambo 07 teamates
kudos to Joel and Vanessa for organizing
must say it's been damn long since i met them
for some since school ended and for others even longer than that ...
great to catch up with them once again and hopefully , future gatherings will have more of us !
pictures for this event i just uploaded on fb yesterday
spent sunday morning meeting perlyn , liana and ht.
got quite a surprise when the first thing i heard when i met them was that liana was getting married !
turns out she's just getting engaged soon, but grats to her and Ez !
first working week of the new year was mostly range.
failed my atp as it was the first time i was even firing the m16 ... bleah ...
gonna have to go for a reshoot sometime ...
my ipod and laptop have both decided to start dying on me ... hopefully they last for another few months ... i have however gotten a new ipod ; an iPod touch and i love it !!
playing with it for just a short while , has already cemented thoughts of getting an iPhone when i ORD in my head ... speaking of which ... ORD seems nearer with each passing day ...
at least after the new year ... i can say that i ord NEXT year instead of next next year ... hehe ...
ahh well , going to the jungles of lim chu kang again , tmr =/
this time tmr , i'll be digging one of them shell scrapes ... bleah ...
till the next time i decide to write something again ...
i'm off ~
