A new life, a new beginning

Hoho, it's my second duty on a Sat AM shift,
so far so good, translated a few articles, slack around watching bleach and naruto on crunchyroll haha...
the techies were fixing the computers in the office, so it was quite messy and there were only 3 computers available but we only got Internet access, there was no intranet, so basically there was nothing we could do in the whole morning until they got the things fixed at noon.

I didn't have much sleep yesterday night because I got home late after watching Spiderman 3, but surprisingly I am not feeling tired now. Spiderman 3 was very nice and cool, Tobey Maguire was very funny at some parts of the movie. Although it ended at midnight, it was worth the time spent. I went to watch it with my platoon mates, so we chatted a while to catch up on stuff. In the end, we missed the last train and bus, so we could only wait for the nightriders or nightowls to get home. In the end I took NR1 home after waiting for around 20 minutes. The NR1 ride was quite exciting because it was my first time taking it. It passes by a lot of clubs and pubs where most of the people would still be hanging around after midnight. It was a rather interesting trip for me, at least some experience learnt. So, I reached home at 0100 hours and hence I only slept for 4 hours plus.

Now for some updates this week,
Thursday was an eventful day. Firstly, we played basketball for sports. It was quite daring, because we were not allowed to play contact sports after 3 people got injured within a month last year. Anyway it was a fun and friendly match. I haven't play basketball for almost a year already, so my shooting has gone rusty already haha. But anyway I hope that we can play more such sports in the future. Previously, Ma'am Angie informed us that she wanted to treat us dinner and she had already made reservations. So after sports, we rushed back to change into civilian clothes quickly. Luckily Mark was willing to drive us to Orchard, and from there, we took mrt to City Hall. It was a Peranakan buffet style restaurant called Plaza Market Cafe located at Raffles the Plaze. There was sushi, sashimi, popiah, satay, peranakan food, oysters, clams and salad. The food was quite delicious and the peranakan food was exceptionally spicy. I heard that it was $42++ per person. I wondered why Ma'am wanted to treat the five of us. Nevertheless, it was a good meal and I am sure we enjoyed it all thanks to Ma'am. And one more thing to add, I got the letter from NUS!!! This means I got accepted into both universities. But now, I will have to make a decision between both universities. There's still one month left for me to reply. Hopefully I can be able to get the NUS faculty scholarship. Then it might be easier for me to choose. That's all for now then, but before I go, time for another song, 大哥 by 衛蘭 Janice, it's the chinese version for "Never Let You Go" also sung by 衛蘭. Hope you enjoy...
