So many things to do/settle by the end of holidays:
1. I shall reformat / clean swipe my computer. It is seriously cranking up lately, and I think it is due to the numerous tweaking and crap that I have been installing.
But i seriously think it is definitely not due to my modification of the Windows theme that is causing the problem, it is some rogue program that I have probably installed?
2. My IPPT problem. I recently obtained the doctor's letter stating that I can't do pull-ups (due to my injury), but somehow the entire January's slots for medical reviews are non existent. It is either somehow the entire NS force decided to go for review in January, or the Pasir Laba Medical Centre MO decide to take a month long break.
It is fine with me, problem is I have to clear my IPPT by 27th January, RT is seriously retarded for me.
3. My sports. I definitely have to train harder and train more for my sports - in order to play for the hall and also win some matches. I am the "dai sai" one, dragging the team down.
4. Improve my skills in LoL. For the time I spent in it, I am still quite suck at it. Why can't I be at least good in one thing?
5. Improve in my guitar / pick up drums! Nuff said, I like them! But it seems I am not spending enough time with them.
Felt a surge of things to rant about, but I shouldn't.

Expectations
A young man in a black jacket with earphones stands typing on his plastic covered device, looking up occasionally to find his targets. A family overlooks and the mother tries to restrain her boisterous children. Some well dressed men holding placards (some electronic) strained their necks, ever watchful of their incoming clientele - whom they probably only know by name and not by face.
You can probably guess the location I am describing - the arrival gates of the Used-To-Be-No.1-In-The-World-Airport
It's quite interesting to see the reactions and the actions happening here. The hugs and kisses, the relentless waving of hands, the anticipation and the weariness of waiting.
It is a common sight to see passengers and their families/friends clogging up the pathways, unintentionally in the midst of a catchup by friends or a full body inspection by worried parents.
But here I am, the black jacket one (quite easy to guess I was so narcissistic to describe myself first hehe), just standing here chilling, and not exactly being a giraffe or conducting an observation post like the many others here on the same mission as me.
Is it a sign of boredom? I doubt so, I very much anticipate their return. I have questions to pepper, loot to collect and a government to look over me.
More of, I know they will appear, it is simply how long they will take. So has this "rationality" clouded my "feelings" for my parents? Even I am not sure.
But another question that actually incited me to begin this post is: "Who will come to receive you?" Your family would most likely be the one fetching you, but who else? Spouse-to-be? How about friends? Who else would be so willing to travel to one of the obscure places (yet relatively accessible) of Singapore just to merely see you land safely?
You might think that I am attributing too much emphasis on such actions, but don't such actions (the act of coming to the airport to receive you) say a lot about your relationships with your friends? Of course this is not the sole indices in determining the depth of your relationship (whether platonic or romantic), but I'm sure you can agree it is one. If you were the passenger leaving the arrival hall, who else other than your family would you love to see?
I would love to see some friends, but I don't wish to trouble them too much. However, innately I still wish for your close friends to be there at the airport, it will be so heartwarming.
My two cents worth, how about yours?
(I am lucky to have and would like to thank a certain eye candy for "accompanying" me for a large portion of my waiting time)

2nd week
So this officially marks the second week of holidays, and what have I done so far? Primarily gaming.
Not that gaming is such a bad thing; well I won't say I "deserved" the gaming spree, but the holidays are meant to be really relaxing.
However, there should be limits to gaming - no matter how "cognitively relaxing" it can be. I find myself suffering slightly from the LDMR (Law of Diminishing Returns), and deriving lesser and lesser joy from my games, unless I play with friends, in fact very old friends.
For the coming 2 weeks, I will engage in something different from merely gaming. Hence I shall force myself to stay in hall, there's this weird compulsion occurring to me once I'm in hall: I feel like exercising more often and engaging in non-gaming activities. But once at home all I want to is to game (other than going out). Not really bothered to delve into the reasons why, so I shall just follow my inner instinct for the "betterment of mankind".
Need to exercise now, get back my fitness.
Random: The radio personality commented how her underage daughter had 800 friends on facebook. I just did a quick check and I have 1,000+? Wow. But... do I feel like I have that many? hehe. I think not. I bet most are probably random additions.
