I think army really works wonders.
At least for people like me who have nothing better to do, no aim in life, or rather just do not need to go home to function.
I rush home, woke up at 0630 to catch the 0705 shuttle bus out, then add in all the transport timing I effectively reached home by 0930. And what do I do?
Other than the mechanical routinized work of putting my dirty clothes at the launderette, switching on the computer (somehow it became pre-programmed in me), going to the toilet and opening up the windows to my house. Once all those were done, I would just proceed to the computer unblinkingly and proceed with more routinized work; go to Mousehunt to sound the horn, check my email (more of "select all unread" -> "delete", since I am an unimportant person anyway and no one will really send me anything noteworthy other than irritating email generators and advertisements), go to my Facebook news feed and see the more interesting, more colourful lives of others in get-together camps, overseas trips, outings and so forth. And that's it! That's my routine. Now once done with the routine, I am left here as a soulless pile of meat and bones with no direction. I really don't know what to do, or rather I am lazy to do anything.

And that freaks me, I should not be as aimless as I am supposed to be. Why do so many other people have things to do? I think my social life quite inactive, other than the weekly basketball games with my primary school friends.

At least in the army (when I say "army", I am referring to Rocky Hill Camp in Pulau Tekong), when I wake up, I will probably spend some time till 0900 at the office showing face and acting important. After words my mind will attune itself to sporting activities, or hiding in one corner to read a book - which are inherently better activities than merely existing - since I cannot go out or do any other thing anyways. Furthermore the army provides me with no choice of food, and hence I do not need to face the dilemma of "what to eat" and "where to eat".
Well, this is what I learnt as I spent more time in the army. Army is really a good place for people like me who have no direction. The 2 years are here for one to really think through what they want. I am sure many of my female friends might also appreciate this "forced gap year", unless of course you are very very sure what you want in life.

Guess I shall start flipping through my storybook first. Or check out some online games. =)

Ok I just wasted 2 hours of my life playing Rebuild on Kongregate. This shows how engaging the game is, but yes, the point is I just wasted 2 hours of my life. Shucks. Oh well.
Got to go out and meet Charles for lunch.
