The Christmas guard duty was great! The Guard Commander bought a box of rochers for us! That day was also very peaceful. Maybe it&#039;s just Christmas&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>There was some unhappiness about guard rest and guard off this morning. It&#039;s another question of being fair or unfair by our boss. We decided not to argue with him. We think it&#039;s unfair, and he think it&#039;s fair, and in the end, we all will suffer. So why create a fuss over it? I did give everyone my deadly, unfriendly, cold stare, and beat others at Chinese Chess without a word. That&#039;s just me&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Today&#039;s battalion outing was not that bad after all. We went to Marina South for some fun. We flew kites (yes, the kites did fly&#8230;), and played bowling. I managed to score a few strikes and spares, but the scores were still not that good. We took many photos too! I will send the film for developing tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>This is the start of my long off. I will be off tomorrow, on Monday and Tuesday. And Wednesday will be a half day. Thursday is New Year&#039;s Day. Friday will be our HQ Battery Outing, and that Saturday will be a long weekend. A long rest. A long awaited break from work&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>4 days more to 2004. I guess I will have to think over a number of things these few days. About friends, about love, about emotions, about finance, about lots of things&#8230; Perhaps I will never find the ultimate solution, or maybe I will. Nothing is certain.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome, 2004&#8230; all by myself&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Nevermind, I shall wait. I have already waited for so long, why not just a few moments more? Or will I lose out in the end? Perhaps&#8230; Probably&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Will I be ready to let go if the need arises? I don&#039;t think I will be that strong to do that&#8230; Or maybe I can, if I believe.<\/p>\n<p>I really need to rest&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finally, this hectic week has passed, without much trouble.
