it's one week of BMT over!! and happy doggie new year! WOOF.

i booked out on saturday morning and sarah was there to greet me with macdonald's breakfast. nothing can describe my joy of being free again!! it lasts till thursday night. but for now i'm enjoying all i can!

my basic military training has been quite fun and relaxed so far. all i do everyday is eat, shit, sleep, area cleaning and rifle stuff. i alr can assemble and strip the rifle hehe. friday and thursday nights i had 2.5 hours of personal admin. so a bunch of us hit the gym hehe. the food there isn't bad too. my section mates, platoon and commanders are colouful characters. i've bonded with my section mates quite easily over a week. quite amazing.

the past 2 days of cny have been quite well-spent. absolute pigging out! first day went to my tanah merah aunt's house. played with the 7 dogs. and got my cousin's email address, she's into alternative music like me! haha. was quite glad cos i've never been close to my cousins. and i saw photos of my cousin Winston's 3 kids. only saw 2 of em in real life before cos he works n lives in London as a diplomat. i'll put some pics here if i can. and i ate lotsa goodies. had a KFC feast for dinner. junk food paradise.

and today sarah baked brownies for me :-) i'm glad our relationship is still going strong depsite NS. cheers to all for the year of the dog!
