    Goodbye 2006!!! Goodbye 2007?!!
    Bitched on: Sunday, December 31, 2006

    2006 is/was (depending on when you read this) really an eventful year for me.

    I ORD-ed from the Army. And then into university I went.
    How drastic the change was. From restricted freedom to unlimited freedom. From wearing green (and not forgeting uncomfortable boots) all day, sticking to almost-impossible-schedules, waking up in ungodly reveille hours, getting into trouble (with fat Warrant Officers) and being outfield in camo, dirty and 'unshowered' for days... to finally being normal, a civilian.

    And I can't believe I'm going to say this but I really miss Army.

    I really do. I miss my friends. I miss my men. I miss my recruits. I miss the camaraderie. And I miss having the 'power'. Ha ha...

    And coming back to school, to university, was like a culture shock. Took us (guys) a while to re-adjust and 're-use' our rusty brains. Plus, the introduction of girls into the picture reverted us back from our barbaric ways to our pre-army ways.

    How my life has changed. 2006...

    A bittersweet year.

    Never would I have imagined at the beginning of 2006, I would lose my only living grandparent. My Grandma was perfectly fine till the last quarter of the year. And she passed away not soon after.

    :-(

    Sigh...

    That aside, we have an addition to the family. My sister got engaged. All the best to her and her fiance (the best brother-in-law I can ever ask for, FYI) who are getting married early this/next year (again depending on when you read this).

    I re-read my blog entry last year, the one with all my new year resolutions for 2006.

    I forgot I had writen one till a good friend of mine reminded me (to her; 2006 has been a really tough time for you, I wish you a problem-free 2007. Start afresh, babe. Gambatte.)

    Oh well, back to my 2006 resolutions, I failed miserably.

    Firstly, I have yet to get a licence (to kill... no lah... to drive... which reminds me I haven't watch James Bond yet...). I am freaking stupid. Period. My PDL expired like eons ago. Yet, 0 lessons so far.

    And secondly, still no girlfriend. Grrr...
    Nuff said... Grrr...

    Lost interest in getting a marine aquarium tank. No more Nemo for me. But I am thinking of adopting baby penguins now... especially feet-tapping ones.

    Sports? What sports? Whatever happened to that idea to pick up a physical sport?

    But there were other resolutions that I made it through.
    Like choosing a university and a course (obviously). Getting a new wardrobe. Saving money. And still continue with my gyming and running (yes, I run now!).

    That said, I still have to come up with resolutions for 2007.
    So here goes:
    • Get a cap score of at least 4.5 next semester to make up for my average first semester.
    • Dance in NUS's 'Dance Blast' (finally, after shelving that idea last semester).
    • Do well as a member of TAS (The Architectural Society) and probably organise the next FOC (Freshmen Orientation Camp) as the 'Head'.
    • Get a girlfriend (****priority****).
    • Get a job during the June holidays.
    • Save money $$$$$$$$$$.
    • Go to Dubai in June. Maybe Australia too. And Thailand in December.

    And like tradition (What tradition? I have been blogging for only a year), here are my hopes for 2007.

    I have none.

    2007.

    Hopeless.

    Kidding.

    But seriously, the world is coming to an end. Sooner than we expect it to be. And if we don't do something about it, we are all going to die by 2020 maybe. Just look at the weather patterns now. Everything changed. Everything, every disaster, is much more drastic. More unimaginable earthquakes. Hurricanes and tropical storms are stronger and bigger than usual. Unusual rain storms strike everywhere.

    The recent regional rain is so bad, there are floods in Singapore (despite the effective drainage system here), Malaysia (said to be its worst national disaster, with hundreds of thousands evacuated) and Indonesia (plus, Aceh was struck with another earthquake)!

    The weather patterns are so screwed up globally that it recently snowed in some parts of Australia (when it is supposed to be summer down under). Plus there was also snow in the middle east!!! In Jerusalem!! So weird.

    In addition to that, winters in Europe and North America are relatively warmer too. Even New York City was not spared; it had its first snow-less winter in 150 years. And Scandinavian countries have comparatively more snow-less mountain peaks now, thanks to the global warming.

    People. Wake up!

    We need to do something!!!

    Sigh...

    I sound a bit insane, I know. I just hope that there will be a 2008 for me to write my resolutions again. Lol.
