oh, it's tomorrow. how utterly unfascinating. i suppose i should count my blessings that i have spend the last two months at home away from camp, and the previous few months in camp slacking around progressively forgetting everything. my sincere condolences to those who have had to work their last weeks. but well, work first, play later, end happy. active units somehow end up with tons of off and leave. perhaps i had such a relaxed life that i had no need to whine and grind about ns. after so much grumbling about their lousy system, after all that incomprehension as to why the SAF can poach top scholars and tolerate a pathetic lower commanders, after all that, i have begun to appreciate that the pathetic system is to allow intelligent people to lead a more relaxed ns life while maintaining the illusion that ns is for everyone. the rich help the rich. ok, that's probably a joke and totally untrue. wonder if it'll be censored out of Speaker's Corner. i suppose the greatest bane of ns is that it is a waste of our time, because we can do so much more useful things, more efficiently, more purposefully. since we're not street bums who spend their days strolling along geylang and getting themselves drunk and wasting money on ethanol and dried leaves (it's still a wonder why people put dried leaves and paper in their mouth and light it). and why people are so full of vulgarities.

ah well. my 2 year holiday from life is ending. so sad. no more free money and lodging and food and entertainment and sports facilities (i'm addicted to the empty camp pool and free squash courts that no one else uses). time to get back to life. and hopefully away from maplestory soon as well.

cheers matthew, stop being silly.
