It says that I’m Elmo since I got 28 points: You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing to give advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic and you always see the bright side of things. Some good advice: try not to be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause many conflicts in your life.
Look what people do when they’re really bored at work. Probably caught in a security camera.

You think you have a bad day? Here is something to cheer you up:
Murphy’s Law in action. “Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong”. Quite aptly shown here. See! Your afternoon isn’t so bad after all.

I entered math class half an hour late but I’m so glad I did that, the math is rather simple and it’s a total bore in there. I sat beside a Malay girl whom I believe is a mute. Sitting a little further down were a bunch of guys excitedly talking about some game they played. I tried listening in and finally concluded that they are playing MapleStory.
When a bunch of people talk here and there, the volume just goes higher and higher, soon the lecture theatre resembles the ambience of Carrefour hypermart at Plaza Singapura and that is when the lecturer step in to shut us up.
(So bored I tried writing numbers upside down.)
I didn’t have a book to read. I left my house at noon and brought out The Kite Runner (by Khaled Hosseini) to read but finished it before I got into the lecture theatre. The Kite Runner is a wonderful book by the way, very moving story too. Anyway, I sat there practicing writing my numbers upside down. I used to be able to do it quite well.
The lesson finished after 3 hours - okay 2.5 hours since I am late half hour - and I left for the bus stop. It’s the longest wait I had and I never seen so many people outside SIM before. They’re all waiting to board the bus.
The whole math class is getting more and more boring. Sometimes I wonder if I would get slack and stop attending the classes. I don’t feel that I am learning something particularly useful too, it’s secondary school Additional Mathematics and it is quite simple with no assignments. When my class starts on September, I hope I’ll be more hardworking than that for sure.
This week, I’m stuck in camp till coming Wednesday. I couldn’t leave the camp, just stay in and watch the officers patroling with food from the mess. The week is unexciting but life goes on there.
Things are stablizing, thanks to better human resource planning and people management skills. What is rather unfortunate is my lack of offs and leaves which meant I had to stay in camp for quite a bit of time while my friends who enlist on the same day as me are clearing their offs now.
There are several why-have-I-not-thought-about-it moments. The guys brought in badminton and it’s really fun, with great time wasting ability and a tiny opportunity to work my lazy body. I realized it’s great to use the internet late at night - it’s peaceful and I can type all I want. And finally, I also learn Japanese a little through the internet with my friends, it’s good fun and we go around saying ’shigoto ga tsumaranai’ nowadays. (That means ‘work is boring’ we think.)
Unfortunately, I left my phone charger at home and I can only communicate through email most of the time. So if you tried to text me and I failed to reply, try sending to my email. You can also use the contact me page hidden in the labyrinths of the About section. I’m sure it’s just somewhere.
Just a simple update of how I’m doing. Things are certainly going better. My days in national service is coming to an end.
I kinda lack inspiration these days. I have lower attention span also, haven’t been replying the emails which is kinda piling up as I type probably. I don’t IM as much too. Honestly, I have no idea what consumed my time.
I probably spend too much time at digg.com or my feedreader. There are some work I wish I would complete but I just didn’t really have the mood to work on them.
The mood comes after I rest for two or more days and now I don’t really have the chance to just rest at home. I keep going out, be it to camp or just to town. In the past, changing of a wallpaper seemed to be helpful, today I can change the layout of my table and it wouldn’t help too.
It’s a boring month for me. I feel like doing going for a holiday or something. I think I kinda want something to break my routines. Week after week, I just go into camp, work on some stuff, arrange my folders, watch some anime and listen to some music.
Any suggestions on what to do for a change?
I secretly wish my grandma would do such things.
