Too Close For a Distance

and it feels like I am just too close to love you…

Time really flies. My last post was over a year ago and ever since then my twitter has been more of my microblog/something of an expression of 140 chars.

I was posted as a storemen right after my BMT. Truthfully, I didn't like my posting initially. I wanted to be perhaps a sergeant or even an officer. I knew I could do it, I had all the requirements but I believe that all things are for the better I guess? With my lungs at every danger of collapsing again, perhaps taking care a room with computers was my best option.

Now the plus at being in this unit was that it was near to home (Selarang) and it is stay out unit meaning that my job starts at 7 and ends at 5 each day. I was happy that I could spent my nights out until it suddenly became a little mundane and boring.

I kind of considered taking night classes such as learning mandarin etc but then while surfing for courses, I was considering starting my degree early and also weighing up the course offer from monash, I then crashed into this page

So I applied out of fun thinking that my GPA was too low etc. but what was fun turned out to be real.

I could’nt believe it but scream in delight again. After much advice from loved ones and support from my bosses in SAF, I actually started school on the 31st of March 2012, barely 7 months after enlisting into NS.

I also didnt neglect my duties as a soldier. 2 Months after, I won the best soldier award for my batallion. I achieved alot in my first year as an NSF that I started to love my job and my life as a storeman, ironically.

You see, sometimes you can plan life but life sometimes has plans for you. You can plan to be an officer, a singapore poly student, a pilot and even with a certain someone but you cant really say. Who really knows what you really get is what you get?

Before signing off,

I’ll drop a simple hint of what’s the next chapter (Tallywally?)

Haha, Take Care Folks. <3

Nothing Compares...

My last blogpost ended of right before I entered NS. Alot has been going on from aug to sep and I've just recently finished my stint of BMT in tekong.

Alhamdulillah my bmt has ended. In my 2 months there, i've learnt to push my body beyond its limits, learnt lessons of self belief and endurance. Field camp made me appreciate life as a whole and i am thankful to have sergeants whom been supportive as well as my loved ones including my gf and bestf.

I also recently celebrated my birthday and my gf was there to celebrate it with me and she bought me a 22 inch tv to mark my 22nd year into this world :) she also brought me to botanic gardens which was a first time visit and we took polaroids!

Im thankful to have lasted so long with gf. We've endured alot and she's been understanding throughout. Love her alot.

Now that bmt is over, here i am vacationing away and I cant wait to continuing the ride into unit. Wish me the best of luck and you'll definately hear from me soon :)

Goodnight all :)

My Universe Will Never Be The Same, I’m Glad You Came

This one's for you and me, living out our dreams , We're all right where we should be , Lift my arms out wide I open my eyes and now all I wanna see is...

All set and ready? I’m kind of nervous but like a proverb once said, “the first step is always the hardest”

 

I think once this hurdle is jumped, it’ll be fine…

I Know That There’s No Doubt, “I Made It”

 

 

Back to blogging after a long time :) It feels real good to be back. School’s just ended for me. It’s not ending for the semester, it’s ending for the tertiary part of my life. It feels sad to be leaving RP, I had so many memories here. Some horrible ones yet mostly beautiful ones that will be kept for lifetime. I wondered where I would’ve been right now if not RP to rescue me. I’m glad to have been given a third chance to put it right and I didn’t disappoint everyone this time round. It was here also that I learned to think, reflect and choose between what's right and wrong. Also here is where I found the most unexpected amongst of lovers.

I came into this school with almost virtually nothing. Disappointed parents, rubbish O’ level results, an Engineering course that I think might’ve flunk with my poor mathematic skills and trying to rekindle a love that was never going to happen.

‘Perseverance’ was the word that was said and emphasized many times in my life. Slowly by slowly, I began to appreciate the meaning behind it. I was scoring A’s for almost everything and despite having a blip in halfway through the first semester, I never gave up and kept pushing. That semester ended with a GPA of 3.4 and became the baseboard for me to believe I could actually achieve something great here.

After 3 years, here I am, offered a chance to further my studies with 2 reputable universities in the world in Monash and Queensland University. Halfway through my last semester. I think this was the worst kept secret, because my girlfriend had uploaded in her blog the moment she found out. How happy she was, was mirrored by my family and all those around me including my FYP teammates. Who’d knew that I’d leave this school with something?

Speaking of FYP, I couldn't believe it, but through perseverance as well, the team completed the project! Could’nt be more prouder for them

My girlfriend has also been my pillar of strength since the beginning of year 2. I knew I was kind of flirty and I really had to apologize to all the girls hearts I broken. I swore not to flirt again and I’ve stayed true to her till now. My longest relationship so far and an unexpected one that started despite me knowing her for half a sem and not really being friendly towards her.

well….this was a draft on 22nd of february. OMG!

Many months have passed since then, oh and me and seri just celebrated our 2 years being together, I got my diploma and I also got rejected by our lovely local U’s*pift*

 What happens after this now?

Well, I’ll be looking forward for a short 1 Year 10 Months stay in the singapore army fulfilling a basic military training course at resorts world tekong for a good first 9 weeks and god willing if the funds are there, I’ll proceed on to monash and do my bachelors for 4 years. Insyallah

Tricky Depths of Despair

  Work has started, quite happy with work so far, fun environment with nice people. By the time IKEA opens I’m usually gone.

The tricky part though is that my work schedule may clash with alot of school holiday and scheduling leave may not be easy especially with events happening in along the way.

Speaking of the events that is happening, I got a family day dinner on the 12th of march, wedding on the 26th and seri’s sister engagement on the 3rd of april. Hmm…must be a good boy at work hopefully to get the leave otherwise it’ll be one depth of despair.

So this weekend I’ll be working in the morning, then in the afternoon spent with friends and loved ones Just do me a favour and dont mess up ikea okey?

Okay then, time for me to snooze out. Have a great weekend ahead.

XoXo, SeanTaLL.
