depardieu

this is an unsually long, pictureless, post. but that's because i feel like gushing right now.

yes, XBW is so super tiring and taxing, especially at a time where recruits are everywhere now, shouting left right left right, and commanders are constantly asking for nominal rolls and PARTICULARS and i'm asking for blood groups and handphone numbers and the office printer not working...

i suppose amongst all the hot sun, sand table exercises, rehearsals, BOSes, servicing and maintenance, i've learnt/seen a lot. now i know how they pump nitrogen, and i finally got my hands down to pumping the track tension. (still don't like grease.) today i helped in the pulling through of the cannon, though most of the time i was sitting on the barrel (which is a form of helping). i love the convoying most of all; i can drive at whatever speed i want, turn at my own decision, go up and down the hills, and drive on the side of the road that i choose.

this to-and-fro between camp and gedong is linking me to more people from my (near) past. there's joosiong, chienwei, yanho, jj, boonhui, benedict, lenny, ziyi... imagine all the muah chee, all the melon milk! and today sam took me on the motorbike ride: so scary, but so fun!

here is the song i keep listening to:

搜神記
容祖兒

當初膚淺 得你恩寵似升仙 天有眼
當真糊塗 未曾發覺我該俯瞰南極快沒有冰山
當初專心 等你燭光晚餐 從沒有認識蠟燭怎樣消散
當你的光環 暗過世間火柴 何用困在五指山

而神蹟失靈才知天大地大轉得快
夢幻的生涯無非拖手逛街 怪得誰
要敬拜你便沒視力漸觀世態

忘掉誰是你 記住我亦有自己見地
無論你幾高 身價亦低過青花瓷器
評核我自己 只顧投資於愛情
困在你小宇宙損失對大世界的好奇

回味誰是你 往日有甚麼品味
只要敢遠飛 亦能自創我的搜神記
磨練我自己 做人目光高過聚散分離
就憑你 相愛大不了提升演技當做戲

從前只懂情人的感動力量 最珍貴
未洞悉小巷大街偏地華麗 昂起頭
看見世界我也會有我的氣勢

忘掉誰是你 記住我亦有自己見地
無論你幾高 身價亦低過青花瓷器
評核我自己 只顧投資於愛情
困在你小宇宙損失對大世界的好奇

回味誰是你 往日有甚麼品味
只要敢遠飛 亦能自創我的搜神記
磨練我自己 做人目光高過聚散分離
就憑你 相愛大不了提升演技當做戲

拋開你先識去審美 往後我便有自
己見地無論愛幾高 身價亦低過青花瓷器
評核我自己 只顧投資於愛情
困在你小宇宙損失看大世界的福氣

回味誰是你 往日有甚麼品味
只要敢遠飛 亦能自創我的煙花記
仇視我自己 若然目光高過聚散分離
奉承你 因往日雙眼無珠不停放大你

想快樂不靠神蹟 才懂創世紀

omg the 夏日嬷嬷茶 trip is going to happen; i may actually finally be able to take a break from a time where recruits are everywhere now, shouting left right left right, and commanders are constantly asking for nominal rolls and PARTICULARS and i'm asking for blood groups and handphone numbers and the office printer not working...

sometimes things are just so coincidental, and yet so untimely. and whatever happened to dreams of the future, promises of korean strawberries and a strawberry-mascarpone tart?
