The words unspoken, say how you feel.
So.
Just got home a while ago, turned on my laptop, half expecting Princess to be online as usual. It took me a while to realise that i'd just sent her off from the airport a few hours ago. I hate saying goodbyes at the airport. It is, most of the time, a tearful, if not heart-wrenching, event after all. It pained me to see her walk into the departure gates acting happy, to see the Queen shed tears, and the King stoic as usual. Sigh... Saying goodbyes are never easy. Though it'll only be 12 weeks... 12 weeks... Is a very long time. I'd probably have gotten my Class 3 driving license, already have known how to communicate using Japanese, decided what to study when I've finally ORD-ed and go to uni. Heck, i'd even have watched 12 episodes of anime.
And yet... 12 weeks can be just as short. In the blink of an eye, half the year is over again. It's hard to describe really, but I think you should know what I mean. Funny how time passes so slowly when you will it to speed up, yet passes so quickly that your hair's already turned white with age, without realising it.
Learn from the Past, Treasure the Present, Look forward to the Future.
P.S. It's been quite some time since I wrote something of such depth as this entry. Haha. On a lighter note, it's my 99th post on this blog! And i've come up with my blogskin v1.3 hahaha. Notice the difference?

A New Look, A New Start.
So...
New background done on photoshop. It's new but i'm loving it already. Heh. Something simple and plain, melancholic, monochrome, whatever you call it. It's what i'm feeling currently. (:
Too bad it's only IE-friendly. Sorry, Mozilla users :(
Comments please.
[edit]
I forgot to post pics from sat... So... Here goes!

Cynicisms Of Life.
The Cynic is back, yet again.
So.
After a rather lengthy conversation with my Princess, we have come to a conclusion that
MOST humans are selfish beings. Why, you ask, is this so? Think about it. Aren't humans stupid to repeat the same mistakes they did before? Aren't their deeds, they so-called claim to be for the greater good, actually for their own benefits?
Similarly, i've met a few examples of these kind.
Sample Specimen: Meet Shrek.
This... Lazy bastard, to say the least. Always walking, talking and acting like he knows every single thing. MR KNOW IT ALL. p.s. don'y you find a similarity in the facial features between him and Shrek? =x
So anyway, he was once a person I looked up to. Initally, that is. I even remembered promising to get him a Sony PSP should I successfully pass out from my course. That was during the time when I was suffering from Bronchitis. Godly. SO... Anyway, after seeing for myself his true colours, I distanced myself away from him, and I made a silent promise to myself to undo the promise I made to him months back. BUT... During the last week of the course, when we were sitting inside the classroom.
Les. : *Minding own business.*
Shrek: *Sits behind Les., beside James.*
Shrek: *Claps hands* Yay, i'm getting a PSP soon!
Les. : *Lost for words*
Fucking thick skinned. Like his hide's made of 5inch thick titanium. After the way you treated me, you think i'd still buy you a PSP? Dream on, sucker!
And I remember very vividly, the time when we were scheduled for a trip to Brunei. Shrek's ligament tore so he couldn't go along. He asked me to buy him vodka. The way he asked, was like, well... Judge for yourself.
Shrek : "Eh Lester, when you all coming back can help me buy Vodka? Haha.."
Les. : "See how la, I might want to buy some for myself.."
Shrek : "Please la, help me buy leh... Brother or not? If you call yourself a brother help me buy la.."
Wtf. So he used the word "brother" to compel me to buy.
Okay so I didn't even volunteer to buy for him, and he asked me as if I owed it to him. Goodness. What's the world coming to mans. So okay, I got the damn vodka for him in the end. AND he expects me to lug it into camp, which is like, DUH OBVIOUSLY illegal.
Les. : "I'm not gonna do that, it's illegal."
Shrek : "Help me bring it into camp la.. Please. Just put it under your clothes, they won't check your bag one. Can la. Thanks!"
Fucked up man. So in the end I had to seek help from my best friend in camp, who similarly dislikes the way Shrek treats his 'friends'. This buddy of mine, kept the liquor at his girlfriend's house, and took the trouble of asking his girlfriend to come to camp in the weekend just to pass the liquor to Shrek. That's the reason why I put "MOST humans", not "ALL humans", because of good friends who are more than willing to help without expecting anything in return.
Conclusion :
Sever all ties with Shrek. Thank goodness. The so-called 'friendship' was driving me up the wall. I'd rather make do without it. Mind you, this is not the only incident that caused friction between me and Shrek, it's only the spark that set off the blaze.
On a lighter note, thank goodness I don't need my BTT slip to apply for a PDL! I lost it somewhere in my room, and I couldn't find it despite having ransacked my room twice yesterday. So my VERY FIRST driving lesson will be on 29/07/07 (Sunday)! CLASS 3 IN 2 MONTHS TIME~~~ ACHA ACHA FIGHTING! Okay the korean soap dramas my sis/mum watch are getting to me -_-!

A Small Add-On.
I'll be taking driving lessons soon! Booked my very first driving lesson next sunday, which means I have to go to the driving centre sometime during my off days next week to get my PDL. I can't wait to start driving!
Well, at least it'll save me the trouble of having to wake up at 4.45am in the morning during my duty days. (:
And I can officially say goodbye to public transport when I own a driving license!
Therefore, I have decided to... Pump money into my driving student account. Like maybe a whole month's NS allowance. I aim to get my driving license within 2 months' time!
Wahahaha. Driving lessons, here I come! Look out for my "L" Plate Sign!

Yep... It's One of Those Random Times Again.
So... I've been at this page for a few days already, staring at the blinking cursor for hours on end, then closing the window altogether. I feel that I want to blog, just that I don't know what to blog about. Oh well.
Went back to school to collect my A Level cert today. I miss that place. The place I used to hate, loathe, abhor, whatever. But thinking back, I do miss being a student. Beats NS life, anyways. Met Jia Hui (the Heartless Cad #1), Sin Yi (the Heartless Cad #2), Mei Zhuang (Porky Pig) and Tern Wen (Quacko). It's been such a long time since i've hung out with them... Miss my social life back then. All i'm stuck with now are *****s =x shh. I think most of you should know.
So I met Sharmagne incidentally at Boon Lay bus interchange while I was rushing off to school to pick up my cert. Her friend's pretty darn hot! =x They were going for the NTU Freshies' Camp. How lucky! And while I was en-route to the toilet in Jurong Point, I saw Tabby as well o_o it's a small world after all.
Almost everyone I know is going overseas for further studies. :( Oh well. I hope I don't lose contact with them!
On the working side, Jurong Island Fire Station's been pretty much boring. The only real things I do in the station are morning drills and sentry. -_- Sentry's been so boring that I have to resort to finding a 'victim' to call up at unearthly hours. I'm thankful for having good friends to disturb at these unearthly hours. :)
On the general, my OFFICIAL TO-DO LIST is still.... AS LONG AS WHEN I LEFT IT PREVIOUSLY BEFORE. GOODNESS. I guess.. It's
Clobberin' Time! -_- Time to get my stuff done. During my off days (Again, thankfully, i only work 1/3 the month) I want to get my driving lessons, learn the Japanese Language (how to read write kanji, hiragana etc.) the list just goes on.
Can you believe it? Someone thought I was 24! Goodness. I don't look THAT old, do I? :(
CANT WAIT FOR THURSDAY. WHEE~~~~~ =D but then again, I wish time would come to a standstill. =/
Sat afternoon at The Nordster's Place. =D But I don't know why I can't seem to upload them photos. Darn. Some other time, maybe

Oh Blimey.
Time Flies.
Happy Birthday to my beloved princess!
first day of work today @ jurong island fire station... well not exactly. I was at Alexandra FS for like almost the whole day waiting for the store personnel to issue our personal equipments. How inefficient. actual time spent at JIFS was less than half an hour =x i hope my PPE dont ilang tomorrow. there werent enough lockers in the locker room and they had to make space for me, so meantime all my stuff lie in a corner of the locker room. FYI ilang = missing in malay. I labelled everything with a permanent marker, but i'm still worried my stuff will go missing. As they say, there're many thieves in the station. o_o
I GOT MY SOG MULTI-TOOL. WAHAHAHA. It's something i've been after for 6 months. =DD =DD
I just love station life. i get 2 days off for every 24 hour shift that i do.effectively means that i only work 1/3 the month. BUT i get paid better than most sarges. =DDDDD
It's only words,
And words are all I have, To take your heart away . :)
