Mood: Melancholic
Song: Luther Vandross - Dance With My Father

It's been a hell of a relaxing week. I've only been to camp for one day on Monday, which has never happened before I think. Anyway, the point is, it is (or was) my birthday week this week and I've never felt so free in my life. Just doing what I wanna do without anyone impinging on my freedom whatsoever. I'd better savour the remnants of the weekend before it all goes to pass. Next week and the upcoming weeks are never gonna be like the one which I've just had.

So how does it feel to be finally 21? An official adult? Getting the keys to watch R(A) movies, and having no parent accompaniment when going for operations, (touch wood!) or appointment that require parental supervision. Sure it's exciting, but sometimes age is just another number. Frankly speaking, I think the novelty has passed for me. Rather rapid I must say when my special day was just yesterday. Of course, like I told Sean, I don't really feel the need to have presents or anything. I mean, presents are nice and everything, but somehow as we grow older, we don't feel the need to have such nice surprises anymore. Or even if we're surprised, cynicism sets in and we'll just roll our eyes or give a "whatever" expression. It's almost become a cookie cutter sorta thing.

Nevertheless I'm certainly looking forward to the year ahead, especially when I've got slightly less than 5 months in the freaking army. Recent friend of mine, Peter told me that life in the uni will be more stressful. But somehow I think (at the moment), I can embrace the stress in the university than the myopic mindsets of the people in the army. I'm tired of this life that I'm leading.
