in retrospect.
Firstly, as a matter of formality, i would like to wish all bloggers and readers a Happy New Year. May 2008 be a fruitful year as the years before and have optimism for the things to come.I have to admit numerous times, i've harboured thoughts of chucking this blog aside or (gasp!), put its head on the chopping block. But amid the uncertaincy and throwing those thoughts out the window, the land of adiboo steps into 2008, in 1 piece, still intact into its 4th year of existence. That alone justifies the reason to keep this blog running, churning and chugging. Honestly and quite frankly, inspirations to blog are hard and far in between which explains the drought of posts.
Just an update of recent events, nothing in particular to highlight except a short hospitalisation stint. I was in the CDC from 17th to 21st of last month, warded for a flare-up of the rashes. The reason: still unknown.
Looking back, 2007 was one tumultuous year,a transition from school to the outside world. Like every new year, i've gone through new things and experienced unbridled freedom as far as the arm can reach. Here are a few highs and lows of my 2007:
- Its been nearly a year since i've been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis-a year of itch. But recent event gives me a brighter outlook of things to come, hopefully the condition can be suppressed and controlled. Seriously, i think i'm allergic to my office.
- With my not-too-fantastic A level results, i venture into the outside world of unlimited possibilities and now i know what it means. The choices are more than i can grapple with and simply mind boggling. The road ahead is uncertain, i really don't know which route to take to further my studies, or whether i should start working. Its a big world out there.
- Probably the best period of my life, the time after As to the time i got enlisted. The 'wasted and care-free days' as i like to refer it as. It was a time of living without a care, with no worries. It was just working(our part time jobs), spending like there's no tomorrow, town rendezvous and soccer days. It was 5 months of doing nothing, and time well spent.
- My time came to serve the nation and i was posted to the SCDF. I had my qualms at first, but the 7 week BRT course at BRTC changed my perception of the firefighters and paramedics. I made great buddies, not to mention enemies as well. 7 weeks may be short compared to the 6 months ERS or 9 months BOC course, but nevertheless i learnt many valuable lessons in experiences that may be pleasant and not. And POP sahboh-ing, was sweet revenge.
- However the subsequent posting to 4th CD Division as a clerk had me in mixed feelings. I totally don't enjoy what i do, though its kids stuff compared to what my office-mates go through. My officers are ok, period. My office-mates, i can't ask for better mates, a great bunch. The newer batch seem more, in CD terms, legung i must say.
- I did not gain admission into the 3 universities i applied, namely NUS, NTU and SMU. Oh well.
- As aforementioned, i was warded, for the first time in my life. Not bad with trainee nurses slathering moisturizers on me in the buff.
- 2007 is remarkable in a sense that, i did not hit on any girls this year. With the exception of the coffee bean girl, its been girl barren.
And hint hint, 5 more days to the big day.
