new batch come in loh... 0309 ptp standard. so as per my norm, i took off during the second weekend in e middle of e confinement week. damn long inside la... the heat, the island view, the stuffiness of the bunk, the grossly malodorous garbage smell of the coastal route; all the little things that adding on to the fatigue and dreariness of the Tekong Effect.
got so caught up with the things to do during the first few days that i forgot to wish my dad happy birthday on 15th june -.- wrote an emo entry abt it in my prayer journal but didn't bring it home so can't capture it here. all in all a very humbling anagnorisis.
abt my batch... oh well i guess i like them. there's only 29 ppl and 2 sections so we have a relatively easier time, with the new specs arnd and all. they're all phds, ites, olvls or below so teaching them stuff is a slow-going process. a lot more 1-to-1 attention required. but they're innocent and simple. most of them are at least. they have so many tattoos and smoke so much but they're more like misguided children than gangsters. so taking them is actually very... delightful. their bubbly enthusiasm (they actually request for more songs O.o), their high morale (despite the much higher regimentation imposed compared to other batches), their blurness... but on the downside, their pettiness, their childishness... give and take la huh.
i guess i could have used this time to catch up with everyone i haven't seen in forever. but just so tired. lolz i went onto the ferry, fell aslp, woke up ten min later, tot the ferry had reached sft and walked out. realized i was still in tekong, walked back into the ferry again just as the door closed and the ferry started to leave for mainland. totally~ and we go again la huh.
next weekend will be a busier one... hopefully nth crops up. then the plan is: celebrate wanling's bday, meet ben, go kbox with xb and dom (and posef? <3 haven't seen him in foreverrrr), catch up with the 0109 ppl and their posting. whew busy. oh and get the bday present hm. manymanythingstodo.
oh i read lester's (newspec) book abt the 4 personality types - sanguine, choleric, melancholy, phlegmatic. so this is the model in which they said that some ppl enjoy being sad/depressed. and yes i'm obviously melancholy type. but its so... oxymoronic. when u enjoy smth, it makes u happy doesn't it? so how can u enjoy being sad? don't get it. but yet i do... i guess i would considering i declared that "sadness is beauty's tone".
