ughh.. god dammit, there's this thing bugging me very seriously, the song empire state of mind by jay z and alicia keys remind me of another song, but i just cant think of it.. the tune in the background is very very very familiar but i just dont know wad is it! god dammit this sucks!

haha, i've just packed my stuff for my journey of awesome-ness.. god dammit, i sure have alot of things to bring! am i vain or wad? ahhhh 1 euro is only 2.0044 sgd now! means i lost more than 250 euros for the 10k i changed before i came here.. shit man.. 250 euros can see me through 1 month of dinner money in the mess!

oh man, i sure am excited about my 14 day trip.. eiffel tower, louvre museum, milan, venice, florence, rome.. just fast forward already! come on..

look at the crazy winds i have here, 55km/h gusting 95km/h? that'll hit the KPE speed limit!

wahaha, i just got back from squadron, almost 8pm, i woke up at 6, and went at 7am.. seriously, i need a car, it's not that i'm extremely busy at the squadron.. it's because i needed a lift, and the others are busy, so i had to wait.. sigh.. damn sad..

it's so quiet.. too quiet, i have the whole block to myself now.. of cuz, the internet bandwidth is all mine too, but there's no one to talk to cuz i come back so late, so it defeats the whole purpose..

in the afternoon, some guy asked me to go play soccer if there's enough pple to play, without thinking i agreed, only to be hoping that there weren't enough players cuz my ankle still hurts from yesterday.. haha! god dammit..

it's 11pm now, just showered, and went to say goodbye to the rest of the guys, they're leaving base tmr, gab and jon are going to transit at amsterdam, back to singapore, and jon, tanky and regina are going to paris to stay for a night before flying back to singapore. god damnit, i actually miss them already.. i really dont know how to spend the next 3 days in squadron without them.. haha.. 33 more hours there.. =s

once again, i've sprained my ankle while playing soccer in the morning.. phew.. it's not as bad as the previous times, but i really dont know whether it'll feel good enough in time for this weekend.. boris is gonna teach me how to ski at his place, further up north of france.. it's in the alps near a big lake.. it's about 40 euros a day at the ski station with all the equipment, and i'll be staying at his place.. only problem is if his friend cant drive us from here to there, we'll have to take the train and it's about 100+ euros.. tsktsk..

haven't planned what to do for next week, since i'm only meeting hew, samuel and weng on the 24th, which means i've got 3-4 days for myself.. i'm thinking of going to paris on tuesday and stay till thursday, then it'll be off to italy! paris-milan-venice-florence-rome-milan-paris and back to base.. haha.. we really wanted to make a trip to england as well, but there's not enough time.. the wow factor of this trip, accomodation + airfare is about 530 euros.. about 1k sgd? for 10 days! nice..

it's been a long day, phew. it's 1am now, and i woke up at 6am yesterday to go to marseille, pretty much for some sightseeing and getting my sis the bag. i guess the people from the big cities aren't as friendly, and seriously marseille is not really a place that i would like to revisit.. once is enough.. went to aix in the evening and had a really good dinner.. foie gras for appetiser, steak for main course, and some ice cream for dessert.. it's 26 euros, definitely beats the shit lunch i had at marseille, which looked really good and tasted really disappointing..

i bought a pair of oakley's sunglasses, i dont know for what, because i dont really like the tint.. it's quite nice, but i dun really like it that much to make me part with 300+sgd, for some unknown reasons, i still did, haha.. now i've got 3 pairs of sunglasses with me here and only a pair of eyes.. nice.

reported to squadron yesterday for awhile, and it's different because nobody seems to give a fuck about us, and wherever we go it seems that we're blocking the way. damn, that's squadron life, heard about that in sg too.. just gotta work ur way up and prove ur worth. bet it's gonna be tough.

i know this is an incoherent and poorly structured entry, but i'm pretty tired so it's off to bed for me..

p.s. the pics are up on fb

i do feel the pinch! money money money, all the worries.. haha.. made an additional investment of 5k yesterday, and transferred money to my mum, i give her 400 every month, and since there's bonus this month, it's only logical to give her 800? haha.. den me and my big mouth saying i wanna get my sis a present, and she asked for a speedy 25 from lv, which seems to be on the way in the next few days when we go down to marseille.. that's like 7k in a week? woohoo.. madness..

haha, when u read all that, it seems that i'm rich.. i'm actually not, i'm a very thrifty person.. it takes me 30 mins in the supermarket to find wad shower foam to buy, not because i dont understand the french words, but i'm trying to find the best deal.. and it paid off when i found refill bags of 250ml for 0.65 euros, and i drink tap water so i dont have to buy bottled water..
So, bottomline is, i'm not rich..

k, money matters aside.. not the main priority now.. main thing is the exam in another 10 hours, and it's a good thing i'm quite prepared for it, not to mention how much hard work i've put in consistently so revision before exams are a breeze.. dont u love that feeling when you're ahead of what's coming? i hate it when i fall behind, though there are times i feel that way.. but now i guess i'm on track.. squadron life from next week onwards.. no more waking up at 7am, no more coming back to bunk at 4pm.. which literally means, not much connection to people in singapore.. try not to miss me too much if u remember to alright?

ahhh.. take a step back and look at the sun from another view, maybe u'll find it to be less glaring..

now it's time to go do some exercises and shower, den revise the last bit of instrumentation before i call it a day.. ;)
