Some random musings before I book in...

Having little metallic things wrap around your teeth is totally not fun. for one, it hurts like hell, which means I can't eat, which makes me feel really really miserable. And it feels damn weird to have things poking out from your teeth, makes me feel like a vampire.

With that being said, I am still kind of looking forward to see myself with the full metallic bracket on...though I must admit I'm not quite looking forward to the even weirder sensation I will feel with everything on.

i guess that's how betty feels??

Moving on...brought 2 books into camp last week. Didn't think I could finish them since I was on leave last Monday, which means I should be in camp only for 4 days, of which 2 days were spent outfield. But surprise surprise, I did...all thanks to the Saturday guard duty.

"Derailed" is properly one of the more exciting books I've read recently, which actually isn't that hard to imagine if you look at the list of books I read recently. I was actually surprised by most of the twists, which was surprising in itself, because in retrospect, the twists are actually quite predictable. But all in all, it's a really enjoyable read.

"Dreaming of Strangers" on the other hand is just -_-. I wished I could say it sucked badly, but I can't. In actual fact, nothing much happened, the story didn't quite take off at all, I mean there wasn't even much of a story to start with. And to add on to nothingness that happened, there were all these weird ridiculous chapters to describe Chris's favourite movies and Becca's weird boyfriends. I thought these chapters would somehow matter in the grand scheme of the plot, I guessed I gave the author too much credit.

On a totally unrelated note (I realised I used this line a lot...), found out some interesting stuff about some of my platoon mates over the past couple of weeks. Shaun Yap (or Seng Onn as I prefer to call him, especially when I come back from SOC) participated in a SMS competition before! It was a totally unproductive friday afternoon, we were all waiting for book out, and I was so bored that I decided to sms Seng Onn even though he was just sitting beside me, and he actually sent me the sms that he was supposed to type in that competition.

He's quite an interesting guy because his personality and his looks totally don't match. For one. he totally doesn't look like he can drive, and no one would ever guessed that he's so so into cars.

Another interesting revealation...chi weng was from lion dance! For someone who can't formulate a proper chinese sentence, lion dance was the last CCA I would expect him to be in.

Just took a look at my Countdown timer, 524 days to ORD.

524 days to freedom.

524 days left to gossip, bitch, sleep, eat with my fabulous bunkmates and platoonmates.
