Funny

by Jonathan in JE, NS on Wednesday October 8, 2008 at 0159hours

Its funny how I used to so happily count down to the 9th. Then fate had to give me an enlistment date that falls on the 9th.

That same fate, mind you, now threatens to put me in Cougar Coy, which, according to the grapewine, is a rather xiong coy to be in. To be honest, I’m not exactly looking forward to be in a xiong coy, but if fate should so decide to deal me that hand, so be it. Many thanks to JE for being there to support and console me. I really couldn’t ask for more. =)

If you can’t change your fate, change your attitude.

And in case i don’t get to blog again, Happy 16th! =D

SAF

by Jonathan in NS on Tuesday September 30, 2008 at 1708hours

Just went on a YouTube run of SAF / BMT videos. I’ll be honest, its the 3rd time I’ve done so since I stopped working at Accenture (and prob not the last before I enlist). Its funny but those videos give the that ‘feel good’ feeling of BMT and possibly NS in general.

BMTC School 1 : 9th October 2008. Bring it on.

Cruise Control

by Jonathan in JE, Life, NS on Saturday September 27, 2008 at 1812hours

Been crusing on Star Cruises (Superstar Aquarius) last week. One of my few indulgences in life (especially before I head into NS). I must admit it was a very relaxing and pleasurable experience. Just the 2 of us and lots of water all around.

Cost is a bit prohibitive if it weren’t for the off peak season deals, but I guess running a ‘hotel’ on the high seas equipped with a casino (from which JE won a total of $10.20 from), swimming pool, basketball court, bars, restaurants, theatre’s, excellent service, live entertainment, arcade etc.

Stopped by Penang and Phuket, did some sightseeing and shopping, and before we knew it we were birthing at Harbourfront.

And in what might be the most interesting turn of events, I didn’t touch the net once during the whole journey. (Even though the ship had Internet for an attractive SGD$8 / hour). You have my permission to be astounded.

In other news, I’ve added a countdown till NS on the sidebar. Here comes the feelings of apprehension as to what the next 2 years might bring…
