In a frantic rush for almost nothing.

I don't really have much time for a animated and detailed update. I guess I'll just cut to the chase and list out my thoughts at the moment, which as you will be able to tell, aren't very coherent at this point of time. Think it's more of a stream of consciousness kind of thing.

I so want an mp3 player!!! I don't know how it came about, but this tempting desire came about in the last couple of days for reasons totally unknown and illogical. I just had a thought, and then I consulted my friend, and voila... an mp3 player desire is born! It got to the point that I actually went boldly into a computer shop last night and inquired about the current players on the market. Prices are quite steep for those that have loadsa memory space. I guess I'll just have to sacrifice some luxuries this month if I really wanna get the player. My friend is also interested, and it may turn out to be that both of us will be buying the same player in the end. I'll leave it to him to check things out, since he's more technically savvy than I am.

Okay, that put aside, it's time to reveal the reason(s) why I've got such a hectic schedule these few days that I won't even have time to surf. First of all, I've got guard duty tomorrow, which means booking back into camp tonight. (Sounds rather repeated, think I told you this in my last post) After that, no leaving camp for home on Sunday. It's immediately off to Sembawang Wharf for the Ops Basinet shit which I'm kinda neutral about at the moment, since I have absolutely no idea what the whole bloody thing is about. Basically I'm just supposed to sit in the ops room doing administrative stuff. For 24 hours. Rest unsure and unheard of yet. Hopefully there are alloted shifts since there're quite a few of us being assigned to the ops room. The timetable works in such a way that it's duty 24 hours for one day, then we get the next day off. This malicious cycle repeats for about 10 days I think. I can't imagine how big the hole my transport fares will burn in my shallow pockets. And in addition to the fact that I'm actually planning an mp3 player purchase..? I'll leave it to God. He'll definitely work things out for me.

My hunger pangs are killing me.
