It's been almost a year since my last post.
Not sure why I even stopped blogging. Might be due to the lack of will and also no internet in camp.
So, I am left with 2 months to ORD when July comes but I will be disrupting which means I will be left with 1 month. My last day will be on the 7th August 2013 and then start studying on the 12th.
Before that, I will be having my temp PES Review on the 1st July. I am currently on temporary PES E due to shin splint. As my specialist had told me that I have recovered from shin splint with the results of bone scan, I am worried that the medical board will put me back to my previous PES status which is B. From my personal feel, my shin still experience pain from daily walking and climbing of stairs and even idling. I do also have problems with prolonged activities such as prolonged walking, running and standing as my whole feet would get acutely painful with my whole limb getting numbness.
Anyways, I am quite eager to start my university studies actually. I would prefer some life over this daily routine and regimentation. Get to know, of course, some girls in which ever since my polytechnic life, I have never get to know much girls or get to really be friend with them. The only chance I have to interact with a girl is my occasional meet up with my clique but that only just one. My only roadblock now is that I have to take this test called the Qualifying English Test. Seriously, how long it has been since the last time I use English language to write something? It's totally rusty! Nevertheless, I feel that I may not write a good essay and embarrass myself. But never mind, the only thing I can tell myself to prevent myself from feeling that way is that no one knows each other, just finish off and go.
What I have been doing all these while during my weekend days off is just gaming and Android obsession on my HTC One X and my non-cam Huawei Honor.
The amount of adb, flashing of ROMs, editing of system apks, development, browsing of xda-developers and obsession over battery life and on screen time I've done is countless! What's even worse is that it's not just one Android but TWO! It's not that I didn't learn much with all these fiddling but what I've done is so repetitive!
Gaming wise, it seems that I look for more instant action and stories these days. I just can't stand games with too much lag, pauses and delays and also dialogues. I have also started playing Minecraft after an introduction from a new good friend in camp. I already know of such game but I didn't care much before. After his introduction and playing it, I realized I quite like it. Building blocks, who wouldn't like? Crafting, who wouldn't like? Plus after crafting something new, it feels like a mini achievement for discovering something new.
In light, I do still have some life. What I can do is to head out with my parents. That is the best I can do as a filial son.
Besides those I have mentioned, my favorite pastime is also to watch movies. Oblivion, Iron Man 3, Fast and Furious 6, Man of Steel and World War Z plus some yet to watch and upcomings like Now You See Me and Despicable Me 2.
This one is unforgettable, my virgin trip to Japan! A 4D3N of Kyoto with my in camp good friend. This is one free will trip with our own planning and choices of places to go. Also we randomly picked a hotel which was low cost and convenient. It was so convenient that just beside it is the subway station and a few steps away is the Nishiki market plus with all the food corners all over. Also there are bus stops just outside the entrance of the hotel where it is able to bring us to many of the tourism areas.
The best experience there is actually the weather. I can still remember the day where we went Kyoto central, the wind there was really cold like below 10°C and it was blazing. It's the kind of cold wind where you would want to face away instead of facing it. Really, it's just so cold that we have to enter a convenient store to keep warm. Such awesome event, it's so unlike Singapore where the temperature just gets increasingly hotter each year and have to spend so much on air conditioner.
I have always preferred a globally cold environment where you have to keep warm instead of a globally hot environment where entering air conditioned room will make one fall sick easily.
Well, that sums up my life ever since from my last post I guess.
