our lives are short but tonight is long!

I am finally enlisting into the Army. A week ago, my phone rang and i got this person on the other side telling me i would be enlisting on April 11th. Came to me as a great shock. In anycase, today is my official last day of freedom.

I got so many things to do, so many things to say. But i guess i would bore myself out if i had written down everything here. Need to go do last meeting shopping for NS, hang out with people and finally a farewell dinner with my family at some fancy restaurant. I'm looking forward to spending time with them. My family are all so sweet to arrange something such as this.

Anyway, i was shopping for toiletries with kesman yesterday. Was looking through the shampoo section....herbal essence...volume, shine...energy....WHEN SUDDENLY, it dawned upon me that I WOULD HAVE NO HAIR TO WASH in the first place. So i conveniently scrapped my Get Shampoo For NS itinery. Save money!

Starting from tomorrow i would be washing my own clothes, ironing stuff, marching around and possibly kicking enemy butt( chances are low though. When i was younger, i remember praying and wishing that if we were ever to go to war, it would be during my NS time. As of yet, i am still unlikely to drop this dream with the full awareness that i would end up with dashed dreams and a broken heart at the end of my 2 years.

days of my life

Shopping has never been so easy for a guy like me these days. Recently, i went to Watson's Your Personal Store to buy some products that i required for my daily living. I browsed through the section of facial foams and all of a sudden, the MALE section caught my eye.

With the known fact that i would be enlisting into the army soon, my choice was simple. Get the Men facial wash. At this time of my life, i'm extremely unwilling to compromise on anything that might put my manliness into jeophardy. So there we go. Easy choice. Snapped it up, and went home feeling like King. I think we should have more of such male sections around places like BreadTalk, NTUC, Macdonalds etc. Makes life so much easier with the increasing complexity in ranges of products available to the public.

Have been teaaching in school in recent times. Currently teaaching my sec one class Science. I'm enjoying work now because i love interacting with this bunch of kids. I even gave extra consultation with no extra costs! Experience in school is really fulfilling. All these while i've just been sitting in class and giving problems to the teacher. Now, the tables are turned! It isn't easy being a teacher and i pray for wisdom and strength before every class. Thank God that he has been with me all these while!
