Merry Christmas!
Seasons greetings everybody. Been receiving alot of smses from friends with x'mas wishes, but as the messages came in, I felt it was getting a little pointless as I started reading lesser and lesser of the messages as they started to be a little too repetitive. But anyway, thanks, and merry christmas to all of you too.
Was at orchard just now, and my gf and I got a first hand glimpse of why Singapore is over-populated. The streets were so jam packed, at one point we couldn't move for about a minute as the human traffic came to a standstill. Finally made our way through, but when I was at a junction, I looked across all the streets and it was a crazy sight. The crowd somehow overflowed onto the roads, and at times look very dangerous. Eventhough the police assigned personnel to every junction, they too had problems controlling the crowd. The time was only about 9pm, and I really cannot imagine what it would be like at around 11 plus. Neither do I want to be there to really know what it would be like either. We walked all the way to dhouby ghaut mrt just to make sure we don't get stuck in orchard and somerset mrt stations.
Was packing some stuff at home today, and I actually found my ocs diary. The book contained dairy like entries in my days of training, as the instructors required us to keep and maintain such a diary. I took some time to read through my entries to re-live those days, and I chanced upon my entry on 25th december, 2004. It was christmas 3 years ago, and it was just 2 weeks into my 42 weeks of ocs training. We had to book back in on christmas night, and all of us were gloomy. Some christmas night it was, as we even had stand by level inspection, and failed it badly. The night ended off with us doing about 100 pushups as punishment, before we sadly greeted each other 'merry xmas' before lights out. Tough but sweet memories.
Results in a couple of days, and I would be lying if I said I am not scared and nervous. I have experienced both bitter, and sweetness. This time, I just hoping for something nicely in between. Crossing my fingers. Hmm, and I received an internship offer to work in the public sector. Anyone any comments and suggestions?

Hey Jeremy, I think internship at a public sector is also good as the main objective of internship is to learn isn't it?
However, if you intend to work in the public sector, then I think you will have to look at the possibility of doing honours already. yep yep. (:
