The 3rd Endeavour Begins...

I simply loath the Blogskins website. First off, it has a strikingly poor layout. Secondly, it's exasperating to find what I wanted, if I even knew what I wanted. And if you're expecting a Point Number Three, I'm sorry, the grey matter residing in the numb skull of mind seems to be malfunctioning.

{Had to book in today to Hotel Gedung, to have some briefing by the AGTS guys. Tomorrow's going to be a day off, so most of us were in high spirits. Although we had a minor problem: We didnt know where to go. I guess you could place this as a somewhat happy problem.}

I deleted my 2 other blogs. I'd cite the reasons a being unmaintained and lacking a (usable) tagboard, but I just don't want to remember any (happy/unhappy) memories. All messages are gone, though hard to accomplish at first.

[Went to Orchard to hunt for O'reilly's Learning Perl a.k.a. The Llama Book. I think I just might infringe copyright again. Sidenote: There's such thing as a "CopyLEFT". Thank god it wasnt a wasted trip. I had my "Learning Vi" Book already ... :)

In case for those unenlightened:-

Perl stands for practical extraction and reporting language. Sounds cheem, but I think its quite cool.

VI is a editor .. grand daddy of editors. Extremly powerful. Highly arcane. (to me, that is)

If you're wondering whether I'm out of my mind (yes) or left with nothing better to do (no), I'd leave you to your own judgement. (What's your biz anyway?)

{[ I don't mean to whine, but SOC 2 was the most siong ever. Till know my shoulders still ache. Should have upped the weights to 14.5 kg earlier. Bleah.}]

I love being in Armour. Sgt Neo rocks... haha. I'm like some newbie Sec 1 gushing over ... I can't imagine. Still don't know why Huat couldnt' lift the damn AGL (=Automatic Grenade Launcher). (Weighs 33.0 kg) Miss our bunk training. We don't get that already. Forget it, will still train myself. No one, Nothing will stop me.

Previous weeks were quite hectic. Did a major screwup pertaining to the signal stores. Just typed this to Ling (she's on MSN) >> NS ... ... only reaffirmed my cynism towards some of my fellow peers ... ... that a good majority of them are selfish fuckers who don't give a damn about others by themselves.<<

I finished 2 books in a week. Borrowed a "Essential Clive Barker" ... thrilled... cant wait to start. Acutally, I already did. Haaa... ...

Yesterday was Pa's birthday, and we had a wonderful meal at Jacks place at AMK. Worried about his leg. Was skimming through the medical report, and as I was engulfed by technical medical jargon, I was engulfed by emotion: Fear, Anger, Concern, Contrite all lumped into a great big ball stuck in the narrow confines on my throat. I wonder how he can stand the pain all day, 24/7. Wonder whether the operation (if any) would lessen the pain. I hope it does, if the medical report is to be believed.

I'm getting sick of this restless feeling inside me of late. Very irritating. And I don't know whats the cause of it. Loss? Lost?
