i got quite bored of watching scrubs that i decided to add a small javascript to my blog posts to count how many days have passed since that post.. and it didn't turn out to be that small because i'm naturally picky at such stuff, and blogger only gives me one timestamp option.. so i had to chop it up, join it together, and then chop it up again to get what i wanted.. all these just so that i can count how many days have passed since that blog post..

which is kinda stupid actually cos it makes my blog posts look old.. but ohwell, it's just nice to know that this blog is 591 days old simply by referring to my oldest post.. and well, maybe then i can update it more often.. MAYBE..

updating on my life, i've finally clocked 7,000km in jurong island.. which means i will get my civilian license when i ORD.. but i still have to stay in there because it's a hassle to get replacement drivers because of all the orientation and familiarisation involved.. plus it's only 4 working days left in there..

time really passed fast while i was in there.. to think that i was already attached out of my own unit for 7 weeks already.. and after this week, it'll be 2 months!! i'll be returning back to my camp probably on the 10th, but i don't negate out the possiblity of my bosses wanting me to go back on the 8th itself.. when i return, zhengjie would have deferred from NS to get his medicine degree, and that also means that i have no more assistant to help me do stuff.. and i'm sure i have a lot of stuff to do back in camp..

and i'll say hello to DOING guard duty instead of fetching people around for them to do guard duty.. jingda told me that i'll be doing it on august 31st already.. i sure hope i ain't doing it with lta yusri.. anyway i really can't be bothered.. by then it'll be 3 months to ORD.. utmost i'll be looking at 15 guard duties left??

NS aside, today i went to church (again).. the attachment over the past 2 months have set me back on the closeness between me and my church friends.. because of the 2 day work and 2 day off working scheme.. extrapolate that, and it'll result in me having an off on a sunday about once a month.. ok, if it's 2 days work and 2 days off it'll be twice a month.. but because i book out at 3pm and book in at 3pm, it means my first day of off can't be used to go to church and i can't on the third day because i have to book in by 3pm.. which leaves me with the only full day on the middle day.. and that results in one sunday every month..

i saw cherline's mum and her grandmother while i was buying soya milk at dhoby x-change.. actually they saw me cos i was bending down and tying my shoelaces when her mum poked my back.. we talked a bit about the past when we were neighbours.. close neighbours.. at that moment, i hoped we were still neighbours.. nah, i always hoped that way.. because we were really the bestest of friends back then.. and i wouldn't have gotten to where i was today if not for her because it was cherline who brought me to this church that i am currently going to, and because of me, my mum followed.. and if not for this church, who knows where i'll end up.. ok, that was a lot of memories..

it's esther's birthday in a weeks' time.. and i vividly recall going out with her to see the fireworks at marina square for her last birthday.. i wonder whether we'll even meet up this year..

qinghui's flying off to australia on the 12th, and on the 8th we're supposed to meet up.. it's still undecided whether it's her house or novena.. she wants to go to novena cos of the steamboat (which i have zilch idea about), and she decided on the novena steamboat without asking me!! but i made a lot of noise this afternoon, so for that matter we're reconsidering.. but i wanna go her house.. and i didn't actually intend to barbeque her dog for that matter.. i hope we go to her house on the 8th.. i'm so gonna miss her.. miss is an understatement.. gosh, we grew up together manz..
