How Deep Does The Rabbit Hole Go?

EDIT: I've done some housekeeping and added in three new labels - Photography, Travel and Adventure, and Scale Modeling. Four years old... I can't bear to let the old treasures rot away.

As I am writing this, Justin is trudging his way through rocky paths and cool hard tarmac as he completes his 28km march - the final exercise before SISPEC is officially over. At the same time lay Joey and Junior in their bunks, status tags close by their heart. They don't have to march at all. I bet they're smiling.

It's been a wacky month and many things have happened:
  1. My first blood donation. I decided to do it one boring afternoon in the guardhouse. I was freaked out, I don't know why, and a Lieutenant went over to me and calmed me down by initiating a conversation. I didn't get the chance to thank him... he was gone when I was done. Interestingly enough, I can start donating again on the 28th of January 2009... my birthday.
  2. The previous point coincides with Obama's victory in the US Presidential Elections. A big issue for me - I've been involved in his campaign since February. I danced right there at the camp gates.
  3. Memories of random vignettes that happen in Stagmont whether or not I'm on or off duty. I've chased dogs, broke through drainage systems, watched as a mate killed a lizard with a bayonet and watched the body turn into skin and bones for the next three days, and surfed the net while in camp. The food here's the best I've had. We had laksa for dinner yesterday.
  4. Went over to ACS (Junior) with Justin and took lots of pictures of his old primary school. I fell in love with the ACS culture - it resembled closely to my primary school, Lodge Preparatory School. I spent an entire day with him, and then some the next day. It was a much needed meet-up, and I'm glad we got to talk things in detail.
  5. Joey, Justin, Nick and I finally got together again even if it was five minutes of standing in front of Heeren.
  6. Nick received three extras for very silly reasons.
  7. Justin received his posting and will be going over to the 48th as an Armored Recce.
  8. I have a rifle to call my own, and I love it so much.
  9. My room is clearing up, and I'm starting to plan the redecoration.
  10. My bank account is swelling with a new budget I planned for myself.
  11. Finally, my freaking 500gb hard drive partition crashed and disappeared from Windows, though physically sound. I'm surprisingly calm even though all my pictures, torrent downloads, Photoshop, porn, and sound collections that were collected over the years were in that drive. I'm still trying to recover with Google by my side. But I'm afraid I'll have to turn it over to Seagate pretty soon. Fuck... what if they click on my folder titled, 'Porn' ? I'm in there!

Until the last point can be rectified, I'm afraid I can't do much but write. Even my Flickr account has been maxed out of it's monthly limit.

Christmas is coming soon, and I'll get this all sorted out by then. Who the hell doesn't want to have a peace of mind then?!
