finally, these sad days are ending.. the dark ages, so the speak..

once again i'll be able to bathe in hot water all the time, sleep at home every night, be able to do anything i want without always worrying about meeting some retarded timing simply because of the prospect of punishment (that is warranted only by the need to maintain a useless degree of discipline).

yes, the time is drawing near. 160 days, or rather, 159 by the end of tomorrow.

oh yes, no more guard duty, COS, and any other ridiculous "regimental" duties.. screw regimentation - the world functions based on order not dictated by people (mindless ones at that). the order, well, just happens. kinda like the invisible hand, no?

to myself: look at the bigger picture - they're not gonna keep you there for any longer than you have to be kept, which is really just 159 real days away, not even counting non working days (like the long weekend next week). it's almost over.

it ends tonight. (self reminder: play that song on that sunday night. the 4th of november 2007.)

It Ends Tonight

The All-American Rejects

Your subtleties
They strangle me
I can’t explain myself at all.
And all that wants
And all that needs
All I don’t want to need at all.

The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it’s best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.

When darkness turns to light,
It ends tonight
It ends tonight.

A falling star
Least I fall alone.
I can’t explain what you can’t explain.
Your finding things that you didn’t know
I look at you with such disdain

The walls start breathing
My minds unweaving
Maybe it’s best you leave me alone.
A weight is lifted
On this evening
I give the final blow.

[Chorus]
When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.
Just a little insight will make this right
It’s too late to fight
It ends tonight,
It ends tonight.

Now I’m on my own side
It’s better than being on your side
It’s my fault when your blind
It’s better that I see it through your eyes

All these thoughts locked inside
Now you’re the first to know

[Chorus x2]


learnt of this song from zouli haha.. and dude, honestly, i think it's quite nice.

gst offsets

alright, i'm not complaining about free money. okay, maybe it aint' free per se, but it's not something we worked for. just something we deserve. you're raising our taxes dude, and it's so clearly regressive.. esp for poor nsfs like us.. imagine everything now costs 2% more..

how does it help i can't figure out.. if the average cost of living inflates, shouldn't wages inflate as well? after all, theoretically, people will be willing to work only if offered more wages.. agreed, we dont' have a superpowerful union, but the labor market is still, well, a market..

so we're not gonna just get poorer like this, are we? we are elastic!!! i hope.. :s

american idol

berne made it to the finals :D

don't know who? wait for a time when i can get my hands on berne's photos on friendster plus jordin's photo - a little photoshopping should reveal the similarities.

bad positioning

this is bigoted, i admit. after all, the stylesheet was made for a 1280 x 840 resolution.. but it's okay, just in case you're looking at a very screwed up scatter of div tags, i'll have it fixed up when i get home.

the flu isn't going away, and to give zhikai due credit, it's "zhikai's fucking virus", not "sherwin's". sorry for that dude :)

stand down

bad news aside, though, here's a consolation.

if i'm not wrong, 46 SAR's taking over the ABTF standby and we're standing down.

HELLO OVERSEAS TRIPS ONCE MORE! :D

When darkness turns to light, it ends tonight; it ends tonight.

so does the abtf standby.

A sad move, really

So while shane's hard at work fixing up the MT blog, i've taken the liberty to duplicate (quite badly, i'd admit) that layout here.. it's hard to do, really, especially when i've got no idea at all (okay, maybe some, now that it's already done) how the corresponding tags in blogger function.

then again, it just takes time, no?

anyway, here's something that's well, just for fun :)
