aaaand,

just realised today actually has special significance. it's 2 years to the day that i was captured and stuck nose-first into this involuntary confinement that is the army. wow. time really does fly after all. but of course, i never did think or say that when i was deep in the jungles of brunei, soaked to the skin, with nothing but mud and sandflies to eat.
but now that what's over is over, it seems like it was a really short time. and oddly (very, VERY oddly), i think i might actually miss some of it. well not the second half, that part was loaded with responsibility and work and other things which make life miserable. the first half only had physical torture and lots of bonding. and that part i really do miss. erm, the bonding part, i mean.
in a coupla weeks i'll be done with whatever i need to do, without being the irresponsible prick and leaving my successor to rot without any guidance, and then i'll be free to do... nothing. it'll be weird (but i assure you, very enjoyable) having nothing to do.

also of significance, it's exactly 2 months from the big 2-1. and i have zero idea as to what to do for the actual day. being a guy and all, birthday celebrations were always.. non-existent. and i can quite imagine this one going exactly as how my previous birthdays have. but oh well, since everyone's making such a big deal about this year being a special year and all, i guess i'm obliged to actually celebrate the day. the birthday celebration with hamburglar and friends at mcdonald's still sounds cute, but ultimately unattractive. ideas, anyone?
