Thoughts and Memories

Just a man and his thoughts

Yet another post.

Well, my brother went into the Home Team Academy 2 days ago for his National Service. He'll be out in 8 more days, so my parents and I weren't too worried.

My parents and I, along with the siblings and parents of the other enlistees were granted a tour of the Home Team Academy. In my dad's words, "They want to tell us that the government isn't fucking up my son by giving him lousy food and poor lodgings." But yeah, the food was alright, won't be as nice as home cooking, but it'll do. The barracks area was nice and cool, and the beds were alright. Apparently, the enlistees do not need to do any extra cleaning of the domitories and toilets. They are only required to keep the area around their beds clean. Again, in my dad's words, "Huge fucking improvement from my time." Yeah, my family ain't exactly friendly with words.

So yeah, I'll see him next Friday. That's when they're allowed to book out for the first time. He'll be able to come home every Friday after that.

Moving on.

I made an appointment with my friends 2 days ago to talk about... stuff. One thing that I thought I left behind in Secondary School was classroom drama, but no, it's back haunting me again. This is nothing to brag about, but I do have my fair share of drama back in the days, so I believed I could mediate for the drama between 2 ladies. Long story short, Friend C and Friend H had a dispute between money, and some... personality issues. I don't want to take sides, so I won't elaborate on the matter for now. I can say this though. Both of them are at fault. Their choice of words was wrong, and that escalated matters. A good friend of mine once told me this: "Once you have said it, you can never take it back.". I believe this phrase can be applied to Friend C and H's scenario. I suggested that both of them meet up to talk. Friend C wanted to cool off before doing so. In the end, she decided that the best time for a meeting would be after school reopens, which is around Early - Mid April.

I don't really want to see the two of them fall out. Making enemies out of each other after a 8 year long relationship because of money is kinda dumb ain't it?

That's it for the short rant.


Alright, I've just finished watching, or rather, reading 'Welcome to the N.H.K'. I will admit, I shed manly tears while reading the later chapters, because I have experienced those scenarios before, and in a way, I know how the characters feel. I'm now up to Episode 4 of the anime. If I can shed tears over a bunch of still images, I can't wait to see how I'll react to moving animation.

The next year also marks a start to my "lonesome poly life". My friends are all split up, each walking different directions. Sure, I have Friend A to accompany me for the gaming track, but I'll have to mingle with some other people for the project because he'll be participating in some other Java activity. I'll have to mingle with people I don't know. The gaming track class only have around 10 people total, including myself and Friend A, so I'll either be with this group of people, or that group of people. ...I'll go with whoever I can convince to make a erotic visual novel game for our semestral project.

There's also the attachments and FYPJs. Both of them are hell. FYPJ involves sitting in a cold rectangle room with your teammate(s) and rushing the shit out of your project. Every - fucking - day from 8.30am - 6.00pm. Lets see... one... two... TEN FUCKING HOURS. Ten fucking hours in a cold room, doing nothing but facing a desktop. And most of the time, the people in there won't be doing their projects either. It's like NS, except it's more of a waste of time. Oh, and I forgot to mention that your team is required to code in a random language chosen by the teacher. Yeah. Friend W and Friend J got hit hard with a totally new programming language. Friend W was struck on the head by .NET applications, and Friend J got hit in the balls with PHP. Both unfamiliar languages. Well, good luck to them.

Attachments are more or less dependant on your luck. Friend J's girlfriend, Friend F, got posted to some company ALONE without any partners. Don't know how to do? Die, no partner, cannot help. Friend F wouldn't have much problems in that scenario. If it was me, I'd fail the attachment 10 times over.

Final random thoughts before ending this post:

'Shit, results coming out on 17th March. Die.'
'Have you ever noticed how professional orchestras NEVER EVER look at their conductor? So how come when I was in the Chinese Orchestra, we were basically asked to make eye love with our conductor?'
'Kinda quiet now around the house with my bro in NS.'
'Persona 4 jacket coming soon~'
'I want a girlfriend. But at the same time, I don't. But no, seriously. I want a girlfriend.'
'Haven't been practicising my drawing lately... Looks like a good time to do it now'

Good day.
