I'm extremely thankful to have such wonderfully supportive parents! Perhaps my time in army has shaken me from my adolescent slumber when I was a busy and angsty teenager who didn't have time for anything except sports, friends and studies. Now that I'm in the army, I really cherish the time I spend with my parents on weekends, and it is evident that they feel the same way. My dad claims that he can afford to order a wider variety of dishes when I'm around to 'clean up' the unfinished food! :)

The last five months in army has been a trying period for me, one filled with uncertainty, difficulty and time constraints. My parents have accommodated to my needs as best as they could by picking me up from the pasir ris bus interchange (during my time in tekong) and fetching me to the camp at chongpang currently! I'm truly appreciative of their support because private transport saves a lot of time and energy which can be invested into doing other meaningful things, and, not to mention, it means there's one less thing to worry about every weekend!

I went shopping with my mum today and bought a new light blue bossini teeshirt! if only I had a nice camera phone or something then I could take a picture and upload it. Sadly, camera phones are banned in every military organization so I'm currently using a basic nokia phone without a camera function. When I get out of army, no one can stop me from getting a high end camera phone so that I can take some pictures and post it!

I hope a definitive answer will come by next week. I haven't been accepted or rejected out right, but this feeling of uncertainty is making me fairly uncomfortable. I'm certain something concrete will be done by the administration soon, so wish me luck and lots of love!

GOGOGO you RED DEVILS! :)
