Some people should just be shot.

Been rather hectic the last 2 days with church, outings and meeting with a friend that I haven't seen for 6 months.

Went to church on Sunday, and I felt quite left out in the queue though I showed an attitude of nonchalance (naturally) and buried my face in the church magazine I was holding. Reason? Fen was with her boyfriend. I'm not saying anything negative here, but sometimes Fen accuses me of being too cold to her boyfriend and that when I speak to him, I look at her. Well, what am I supposed to do? There aren't really much topics which I can share with him, since our interests are at loggerheads, and let's face it, I find him a boring conversationalist. Needless to say, he was also at fault, since he didn't speak as much as a single word to me throughout the whole time when the 3 of us were together. So who's to blame now? At least I thought I forged an effort when I greeted him when he came to meet us. And what did I get? Silence. Either he didn't hear me (unlikely) or... I don't think I want to decipher the other reason. Whatever.

Met up with Freddie later after service ended. Didn't wanna meet up at first since I'm still on a rampage on saving my cash. But I guess temptation got the better of me, and I was definitely craving for pizza. Went to Siti's for dinner, which I definitely did not regret since it would most probably be the last time I'll be seeing her there for dinner. She's joining the police in about 2 weeks, and she's definitely quitting her job at the pizza place. Think what I could say now is just to wish her all the best. As you can see, I'm not a very pro uniformed groups person.

Yesterday. Went to Sgt Goh's house. Totally bored myself to death. Though it was a huge bungalow, it looked kinda rundown to me, although it was quite well maintained. (I guess?) It sorta gave me the authentic Chinese teahouse kinda feeling. It was not like those modern bungalows where everything is so high tech etc. There wasn't much air-conditioning and it really felt like an oven in there. But nevertheless it was most probably the last time that I would be seeing him before he flies off to the US of A at the end of the month. So no insults whatsoever.

But... all this visiting means that I have very little time left for myself. Moreover, the book-in timing for me today got reduced to as early as 7.30 pm! Can you actually believe it? And to make things worse, my parents can't send me back to camp since they'll just be off from work, and the ever present traffic jams would hinder them from reaching home on time to drive me. So I gotta leave my place even earlier than expected (if my parents could drive me) to go back to that stupid place I call a pathetic prison. There's gonna be some rifle technical handling test because of range tomorrow. It's like taking away my 4 hours without permission (original book-in time was at 11 pm.) It's really a test of redundancy. Oh well, what can you expect from such a mindless defence force like the SAF? Nothing but the ultimate worst.

I still have guard duty this Saturday, on National Day itself. What an absolute dread. Time for myself gone again. I'm really gonna hate this week.
