the next chapter

this morning i woke up and carried out the mundane habit of checking my phone and computer for updates, messages and what not. i saw the date was the 29th today and turned to my calendar. the initial feeling i got was shock to realise that it is just couple of days before a new year arrives.

how come time flies even when i do not fully enjoy all the time?

well, anyway i realised the coming of the year 2014 marks the start of yet another chapter of my life. the previous chapter was nearly two years long and yes, some of you might guess it, it was NS. that chapter has ended. a new one has started.

started out this year in camp doing stand-by on 1st Jan. could remember so clearly somewhat celebrating the start of 2013 in the stand-by bunk. couple of months later we see the first batch of people whom we were close to ORD. middle of the year, another one ORD as well. then come the rotting and counting down to ORD for my batch. now, post ORD, we are enjoying life by working and playing and hanging out now and then. speaking of which, there is no input of money for me.. oops. still crossing my fingers though.

gosh, i really wonder what 2014 will bring. i'm not a reservist man, an old man haha, and so IPPT and mob manning are annual nonsense. besides that, i'll be embarking on, hopefully, the last full-time studying routine come August 2014. somewhat nervous and excited at the same time. ohh well, time will tell how they would be.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!

i hope this season of giving has been awesome for those who celebrate or do not celebrate this occasion. either way, it is an extra rest day for those who are working and what not.

personally, my family don't celebrate christmas besides making full use of the sale around the malls around Singapore to buy whatever we think we need and want. this year was no exception. besides, being together as a family, there wasn't real celebration.

anyway, just finished watching the movie "The Butler" on my laptop. finally, another heart-warming show worth watching though some might find that the 2.5hours show a little too long for such a show. well, it is based on a true life story of a black butler of the White House who had served 8 different presidents. throughout the course of 34 years of service, he witnessed, together with his family, the changes and struggles America go through from the 1950s to present. again, worth watching.
