Care beyond respect.

Few updates.
1. I got my computer back (YAY!)
2. I got an external hard disk
3. Im stuck on the island for 10 days starting Monday, so no post next weekend ):

So in camp i found a huge huge problem with myself.

I love my friends. They are the essence of my life, the reason for my living. There is no greater joy than to spend time with my friends. What is the point of having shit load of time, money or anything without having friends? It isn't fun playing games with yourself, shopping with yourself, eating with yourself.

Friends being so important, i care very much about them. It really sucks to see your friend hurt, physically, mentally or emotionally. As much as possible I try to make everyone around me feel as good as I can make them feel, and i look out for them as much as I can. Its just sometimes (many times rather), my care goes beyond respect.

Care beyond respect is like your mum insisting to hold your hand to cross the road so that you won't fall while crossing. Its like your dad stalking you while you're on the phone or on a date. Its like insisting to help your friend even when they strongly do not want to. I always fall into this trap.

Early this week, one of my buddy was vomitting in the washroom. He said he was okay and wanted to push on for the activities but i had a strong urge to sound off to the commanders in-charge. I constantly have trouble balancing Care and Respect for a friend.

Tell me how.

Random: 1st coy!

So much yet so little

Regarding my previous post, i found out i lack humor.

BOO! I can't believe it. I called all of my closer buddies last night to ask them out for breakfast and chillax today but all of them are unavailable! 2 of them have extra training, my cousin have range so he gotta stay in camp and another dude had to do guard duty. What is the point of having my weekend when everyone else doesn't?

BOO BOO! My comp is still not back. Not that i can't use this laptop but i really prefer using my CPU. With it i can have 2 screens, update my iTouch, download stuff etc. I've sent it for repair because of a motherboard failure and it has been away for more than a month! What is taking so long?

BOO BOO BOO! I'll have to return to my 2nd home tomorrow. Time out is sooo short! The weekend feels like an insignificant fraction as compared to the weekdays. Why can't the weekends be weekdays and vice versa?

YAY! At least i managed to go out today. I watched the movie "Away" at The Cathay Picturehouse. It was my first time catching a movie at Picturehouse. I still prefer the normal theater though. Oh, and the movie is decent.

YAY YAY! I'll probably (hopefully) get my comp back next week. Not much use since i'll not have much time out next weekend since i'll have to spend 5.5 days in the jungle the week after so i'll have to return to the island early to prepare. Still, at least i have my equipment back so I dont have to worry.

YAY YAY YAY! Next week is a short week! Friday is a public holiday so i'll get to come out earlier. Its not exactly a long weekend since i'll have to return early but still. short week is a good week. Its easier to pass. Also next week there'll be more physical activities. Finally i get to run (:

RanDOm: So much to think about nothing to do.

Mainland.

Another week just zoom past. End of week 3 (:

So I spent another 5 days on a deserted island with a couple of people. During these few days, some stuff happened. Some people are born leaders, and I always thought i could lead. I guess I can't. Leading not just require doing things effectively but the most important thing is to be able to get people together, motivate them. I lack social skills ):

I really envy other sections. Their members are all so bonded together. I think its because there is someone who can bind them together. For me, i fail at it. I really admire these people:
Section 2 - Shao Wei (YJ)
Section 3 - Toon Ee (Tony)
Section 4 - Joseph
Of course there are many many others that plays a huge role but these 3 (IMO) did the most. I hope i'll be able to be more like them.

RanDOm: State of the art technology. WTF is that?!

day in, day out.

Sunday! We all love Sunday don't we? Its sunny and beautiful, its the weekend and we all get our well deserved break. Great ain't it? *sigh*

Sunday is my book-in day ): Later on today i'll need to go back to camp for another week of i-don't-know-what. Now i understand why people gets Sunday blues. Actually life in camp isn't that bad. The activities are do-able, food eat-able. Its just you are not free-able. The one thing i miss the most when i am in there is the time i have at night. I finally comprehend that time is a scarce resource.

Time is really an annoying thing. It passes super fast when you are outside and snails away when you are in camp. It feels like there is a chronosphere surrounding camp. There is one thing that i like about time though, and that is it never stops. No matter how bad the situation gets, time still keeps going. Soon, i'll be out again (: Till then,

Random: 5 more days to book out day~

Survival: Tekong Edition.

Heyy, im back! It has been over half a month since i last posted cause i was playing survival. Well, actually i was back on Wednesday night but haven't really have the time to blog since there are so many many many things to catch up with. Sorry folks (:

Okay. So according to the organizer of Survival: Tekong Edition, im not allowed to disclose any information. Seems like i can be charged for doing it. Then again, I can be charged for doing many many things too (like listening to mp3). Guess i'll have to watch what i do.

Well, just a sneak review for all the boys who need to participate in this Survival, basically its just physical activity throughout. Just imagine school with PE lessons only. No Physics, Chemistry, Math, Econs, GP. No breaks. Oh, and imagine that school now is twice as long as it is now. That is how Survival: Tekong is like. Then again, the physical activities are all manageable so you don't have to prepare now. Prepare for your 'A' Levels.

Yay, i managed to survival 17 days straight. Finally got back to mainland and i can smell and taste the freedom in the air. This is flavour that is taken for granted for most people. Enjoy it.

I'll probably fill you guys in about some stuff later this week. Till then,

Random: Purple light!
