I'm going to tell an NS story of mine, I don't think I've told this story on my blog before. During my NS, after my BMT and before my Public Health Assistant course, I was posted at School Of Millitary Medicine at Ulu Pandan Camp. It was the ultimate old old british camp kind of camp. Anyway, I was named a Temporary Support Staff while waiting for the commencement of my course. There, we swept floors, drains, washed vehicles, sleep sleep sleep...
Well, of the many many spots we were made to sweep, there was this spot under a couple of huge trees that was the worst. There were hundreds of dried leaves on the road waiting to be swept up. Under those trees were the favorite of the seargants. Well, the story goes, we spend like an hour sweeping up all the leaves, slowly, leaf by leaf, the road gets cleaner and cleaner. Finally, after the combined effort of 5 men, the road is clear. We take a seat on the curb side, looking at the fruits of our labour, a nice clean leafless road. Then a breeze comes along, making the moment of victory all so much sweeter. When we open our eyes... The road is filled with leaves again! The road can NEVER be leafless for long enough for us to slack. I bet the good guys like Jun Yuen, Qinli, the PMB guys would have had the same experience.
Moral of the story? Haiz, I feel like my life is just like the sweeping leaves story. Quizes, quizes, project, tests, more more more... Sigh, non stop man. I've already lost track of what I've done man. Life is so stressful, but well, Victorians are pressure cookers. We work well under extreme pressure. Problem is, I don't have time for a social life. I'm not a girl, I shouldn't say this, but I really feel damn bad to have not met my good old mates. People like Kok, Laiping, Alvin, the JC class guys. Didn't even have enough time to meet Lindy and Jeremy when they came back to Singapore for their short breaks. So sianz...
If I'm a Sim (like in The Sims). My sleep meter is like permanantly red, my social bar is maintained by baobei and school mates... oh man... i wanna eat wantan mee...
