Oh I forgot to mention yest when ben was fixing my iPhone, I forgot to bring the USB cable. Everything except that damn cable. =.= So I had to go buy it. And Lucky I had my pocket knife handy to cut open the hard plastic packaging! It was so sharp! Having a knife everywhere you go is handy.

On to the main topic, Today I ORD! OMG. Finally, that day I've waited 1 year and 10 months for has come. I remember the night when I enlisted, I wrote my ORD date down on the paper. 100210. Sounds nice. Pity the last 2 digits were 2 years away. But time flies, as it does. Even as I'm typing this. And it has finally come.

The endless unstoppable march of time brings with it changes. Changes in the intervening 1 year 10 months. No doubt I am fitter than before. The girls have been in uni for over a year. I am finally going in this year. (CURSE YOU NS.) And everyone is attached, except of course, me. Normal. I think maybe there's a huge purple and pink striped elephant following me that everyone can see. Which is why no one has ever dared gotten close to me. Ha-ha. Oh well, there are advantages of being alone. Like um...being alone? And uh....did I mention being alone? Rofl.

Oh well, what to do? Such is life. I've suffered some major blows in the time since then. Strangely concerning the same person, (This is not a dig at you, don't worry.) but well, life moves on and so do we. "The Moving Finger writes, and having writ, Moves on; nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line." Omar Khayyam. In the end, time heals all wounds, regardless, and often only scars may remain. But then again, I need not remind you that scars are the physical reminders of what came before, and what came before was hurt.

In the time between, we've all gotten older, some have felt emo because of it, and even I also fell prey to this thought, despite my reasoning. Well, at least I don't feel it so much now. So many new faces, so many new people, all for nothing. Faces passing by in the crowd. When the crowd goes, you look around at those still left behind. And wonder.

When it comes down to it, a lot of the relationships made with the people inside were transient, much as with those in my previous years in the education system. An occasional 'hi' or wave when you bump into them on the street, on your mundane routine or their humdrum existence.

I still look forward to uni. Because it allows opportunity for social growth. There, maybe I can pick up a few more travellers to traverse this massive RPG dungeon called Life. Perhaps not all will survive, (Eaten by a Balrog?) and maybe some will join other quests, but it's the journey that makes the difference. And I guess it's going to be a really new experience for me. Let's see what it has to offer.

Ok. I really talk a lot. Maybe that's why I've never gotten attached. Ha-ha. Moving on. Went back, waited for the rest, went down to S1 office whr he was in a meeting. Damn. Waited like half an hour and then some. During that half an hour BH and I bid farewell to the other specs and pioneers in our platoon. Haha. Might kinda miss seeing them. Cocksters.

Next, after signing, we walked to CAC to get back all our necessary documentation and that was it. Omg. After 1 year and 10 months, seeing that pink piece of plastic in my hands again was. Wow. I haven't touched it for so long. After my long journey it's finally back with me. I still haven't gotten used to seeing that flash of pink every time I open my wallet.

BTW a lot of people not showing up for tonight's mambO-R-D. Screw this man. See what I mean? Transient. There is no next time, okay? It's not going to be that easy.
1. None of us are THAT keen to take time out to see each other when we've been doing so for the past 1 year 5 months.
2. No one is SO hardworking. Trust me.
3. Not everyone is the clubbing type. ORD occasion over, that's it.
4. PLEASE. ORD already still wan organise NSmen outing? Siao ah?
