復原

When life reverts to normal, is it really normal?


Life may be boring in the office, but it definitely beats living in the outdoors... Air-conditioning, no mosquitoes, comfortable chair, internet, etc... How can the wild beat these?

I had hoped that the wild would reset my artistic abilities, but the camp as a whole had only made me more vulgar... Now I’ll have to make some effort to reset my language...

Well, there are some good stuff about the In-Camp Training though, (no, its not losing weight... I’ve gained weight in fact... -_-") and that is saving money... Not only is the food free, I even have someone to ferry me to and from camp everyday... I’ve basically spent very little money these 2 weeks, and that helped me saved a considerable amount of money...

Went shopping yesterday and spent $55 for a black vest; didn’t really feel the pinch cause of all the money saved... The only thing I’m unhappy about is that there aren’t any better designs... The one that I found and like wasn’t quite fitting, thus I decided to settle on the one that fits nicely... Why would I buy something that I like second best then? Because if I don’t buy it now, I probably can’t even find something I vaguely like in the future... Do you know how difficult it is to find guys’ stuff? Much less vests which aren’t very popular in Singapore... The vests available are more like the waiter kind of style, but I don’t feel like serving anyone...

The skin for my phone is finally ready!!! It sure took long enough... Will be getting it done this weekend and I seriously hope I don’t get to witness those horror stories you read about in the internet first-hand...

Right... Will try to show off the phone and the vest in the next post...

熊の物語

Bear with me for this story...


One day a bear was chasing a rabbit through the forest when they tripped over a genie's lamp. The genie comes out and says, "Hold it, hold it, hold it. If you two would just quit chasing each other for three minutes I'll give you both three wishes." So they say okay that sounds fair.

The genie says, "Okay who'll go first?" The bear pushes the rabbit out of the way and says, "I'll go first", so the genie says okay.

The bear goes, "I wish all the bears in the forest except for me were girls." The genie snaps his fingers and says, "Done."

The rabbit says "I wish I had a crash helmet." The bear goes, "Well that's a dumb wish." But the rabbit says, "That's my wish." The genie snaps his fingers and says, "Done."

The bear says, "I wish every bear in the world except me were girls." The genie goes, "That's a big wish, it'll count as two wishes." The bear goes, "O-okay, I'll do it."

The rabbit has two wishes left so the rabbit says, "I wish for a motor scooter." Then he gets on the scooter puts on his crash helmet and as he's driving away he yells, "I wish the bear was gay!"


Everyone I've asked likes the bear more (not the gay one of course), so why didn't it win?!? Those judges were probably too old to understand the beauty of cute stuff... That bear is the first and only thing I've drawn with my tablet alone... I would usually draw everything on paper and scan it in, but this piece uses no paper at all (except the one that it was printed on)... And I was so proud of myself for my environmental-friendly design...

OK, fine... If I really pick on it, I'll say the background sucks... What's with the disgusting combination of colors? Blue and brown? Well, they are complimentary colors, but couldn't it be in a nicer shade? With the bear being brown, the background shouldn't have any hints of brown at all... Haha... Getting a bit high from flaming myself here...

Great, so what's been happening lately? Went KTV on Sunday and it was great!! Didn't go for band practice in the morning and just stayed at home to laze around and do some vocal warm ups... Was in very good condition that day; finally got to sing 《背叛》 in the KTV... Though I went flat a couple of times, the good part is I sang at original key!! Not that I wanted to though, I just forgot to minus key and only realised it a few songs later...

Next week would be my In-Camp Training; its supposed to be a holiday from my mundane work life... It is, except the part where I’m supposed to go Tekong... Sianzz... Oh well, guess it’s good to be close to nature every once in a while... Gives time to think about stuff and change perspectives on certain things... It also helps reset my brain's and eyes’ artistic ability... Let’s hope there isn’t any more of those designing disasters after this...

故鄉景依舊，環視人不識

Where you return to may not be what you return to...

You Are 76% Peaceful

You are a very peaceful person. All is good in your world, no matter what's going on. Occasionally you let your problems get to you, but you generally remain upbeat. Your inner strength is inspirational - much more so than you may realize.

How Peaceful Are You?

I'm back, and it seems like I've lost more than I have gained... I may have gained new friends, but is it worth at the cost of old ones? Things feel very different now and I don't even know why... I've missed 21 hours worth of lectures and that would be difficult to catch up on... Some strong motivation would be needed to overcome the inertia...

If given the choice, I would choose not to have gone for this reservist even though it is a "high key"... This is my first in-camp and I have already been chosen to take over the company when the current CSM leaves... I tried to keep a low profile by talking to only one person but still I'm singled out... Don't really like to make decisions these days; don't understand what everyone sees in me that makes them trust their lives in my hands... Seems like I'll have to learn how to keep a lower profile... There was a supernatural sighting during one of the nights but I'll talk about it some other day... Let me drown in my own sorrows for now...
