Trackspin: Jamiroquai - Twenty Zero One.
It's been a horribly boring week in camp. Been slacking quite a fair bit but I hit the gym with Lai and the others twice that day and now, I'm stuck with a right leg that's slightly draggy because I think I pulled a muscle or something. My hamstring just doesn't feel right for now. Hopefully it goes away in time for Saturday.
The worst part about this week in camp so far is that my ipod died. Or rather, the main menu button died. And for a touch, it's just disgustingly irritating to not have the main menu button because I have to manually unlock my ipod every time I want to change a track or stop or play it. Got to go get it fixed/replaced later and it'll take at least 3 working days I think. This utterly sucks.
It's really strange how life is, that sometimes, you can help others when they're stuck in a situation that is just like yours, but you can't help yourself at all. Is it just life's weird way to tell you that you need your friends around for support or is it just that I haven't found the solution to my problems? It's really been bugging me for quite a fair bit the past week. And with everything that happened, it's definitely been quite a terrible week in my books. I'm sick, tired, aching, irritated, unhappy, all rolled into one.
Received the new uniforms and for crying out loud, I could swear the army wants it's soldiers to look as though Popeye the Sailor coated them with a load of his spinach-laden puke. Boomer anybody? And they're so fricken cheap that they refused to put on the marksmanship badges for us, meaning now I've to get another set of badges for the new sets of uniforms, darn it. Absolutely worst thing is, just having received the new uniforms, the battalion has to have a bloody parade, JUST BECAUSE WE GOT THE NEW UNIFORMS. A complete waste of time and effort. I guess the higher ups want to see what it looks like looking at greenery in the parade square.
I absolutely feel that I should not have went for practice last night somehow. It just didn't seem right.
I'm so looking forward to Saturday morning, next Wed, Thur, Fri, Sat. Currently eagerly awaiting for payday to arrive but it seems to be taking forever. No choice since I spent a bomb on my specs and my camera this month I suppose. Time to start saving up for my trip instead. No more DSLR for the trip, the powershot will just have to do. Bass POD XT Live coming in soon as well, 2nd hand. Perhaps the most wasteful thing I'll be spending on next will be my Livewires. Quite confirmed on it already, plus I'll probably go get a pair of Null Audio cables for it. That should be the end of things for a while. Also contemplating getting a DS from DX, because he doesn't seem to be playing it at all already. I've been playing it whenever we're both in camp and there's nothing for us to do but rot in bunk. Oh well, finances finances.
Started worrying last night about life after NS. What the hell am I going to work as and where at? Home again? I don't know if I can put up with it again, I seem to be on a shorter fuse nowadays. But the thing is, I used to be so happy working there and I truly felt that it was the company of the other floor servers that mattered the most. The management was good to us too, just with the exception of one person that seemed to PMS near-daily. But what's done is done, let bygones be bygones. Maybe I'll resume work there, maybe I'll look for something more stable and more "normal" for a short-term.
Someone please tell me why I feel so frustrated, irritated and upset? Because even I can't tell why either. It's such a stark contrast to the previous weekend. I'm honestly lost upon why I feel this way. It's keeping me awake at night too. Ah, to hell with it, I'm just about done with this entry for now. Sorry for the ranting you just endured reading, readers. Hopefully the next post will be a better one.
