My Sabbathical

Well... Well... Well...

Finally Took my break from work.
Took a whopping 4 days of leave but yeah, not really uninterrupted though.

It was pretty productive if you asked me. Alrite, i could have been more social but really i need to do some real soul searching. While dealing with all the issue that have caught up to me at him.

First, my personal to do list was piling and i fortunately was able to clear some, well not all obviously. But the notable ones that i've accomplished this weeks is

1. Finish building my Macross Frontier Model: Took me for ever and ever and well i screwed the wing. So now it's a battle damaged model. Yeah mind you. This is the first model that i've airbrush. I've was watching some videos to level up my modelling technique and really i was pretty amazed from what i've saw over youtube. Just go search a little and you'll be surprised the sheer amount of effort put into each model. You really need to have a lot of passion and dedication.

2. Next i managed to some housekeeping of my documents in my computer, laptop, hard disks. Really proud of myself. Took me a freaking half a day to do it.

3. Thirdly, i washed my dad's car after so long. took me damn a lot of effort.

4. Lastly, I finally figured out how to do network printing. Cursed Norton Security Firewall for being so powerful. I tot something was so darn wrong that i actually tried configuring a VPN when i din know how which resulted in me resetting my entire wireless network and configuring it again. Mind you, it took me nearly 6 weekends to figure out how to do this. So at the end of it, i'm supposed to be so relieved and proud of myself but surprisingly i felt so frustrated that i took so long to figure this out.

So Yeah, it doesn't seem like much but, factor in one or two movies, 30 laps swims at safra and window shopping. yeah window shopping. Really, i tink it's just me, i'm probably the only fella who walks into a store and is a total cheapo refusing to buy any thing or really just figure that i din need it not so much i din want it.

Quite a long list of things to do, hopefully i'll finish by year end. If you're thinking why i'm no longer social anymore, i can just say that it's not that i'm jaded. it's more that i feel that i'm still very much incomplete as an individual. And i've come to the point where i've realised that the solution doesn't come in a form of someone from the fairer sex with long hair, fair skin, slim body. Ok it'll help if she's really smart but that's not really the point. Right now, i'm alright simply focusing on improving myself.

Something crazy i did today, i decided to run from tiong bahru to town: cineleisure to Orchard point to Sunshine plaza to Bugis. And surprisingly, i was faster than the buses stuck in traffic. rofl. Ok ending here. If you happen to find the blog still working and you owe me my anime/ any other DVDs return it to me thanks.

Renewal

It's been too long since i've last blog. So long ago that probably no one ever visits this place anymore. Well, it's fine by me. Actually, it's better. This way, i don't have to so conscious of what i would like to express and what i would actually need to censor.

But yeah, due to the fact that i'm still in NS and am obliged to follows the many rules and regulations, directives and General Order of Mindef. There is just so much i can say about the joys and woes of going through BMT, OCS, and now unit life. There's really alot i could gripe about but let's just skip all the unpleasant things. Guys who went NS dun need me to add on. Girls will never understand. Guys who have yet to enter, well you'll find out in due time. All i can say is that change is taking place, but it can never be as fast as you want it to be.

I have many thoughts actually about my current predicament. My ignorance, my lack of self-motivation, my lack of self-confidence, my nonchalence and my wavering desire for the betterment of tmr. So many pet projects i have for myself. But none of them are close to complete. Few are taking shape but who can be blamed except me. Hopefully, in due time, in the not so distant future, i can all the time set aside to accomplish all the task i've jotted down for myself.

OUt.
