Nothing to blog?

Nearly 2 months of MC has ended. Being at home for this period has obviously not translated into more blog entries. I would think the dull-ness of my life has prevented me from blogging. Everyday is between Internet, games, tv shows and the occassional trip to Hougang Mall. Having lived the past 2 yrs of my life to the fullest, it might be a much needed break before I head into the next phase of my life.

Last week of NS left. Time flies by, looking back. I've been wise enough to tell people who told me throughout my service "Wa, so fast hor, left (how many) months to go.", "Time will pass very soon one, now 2 yrs only.", that "When you are serving, time grinds on slowly and painfully, but when you reach the end of it, I'd be thinking it was very short." (screw up grammar)

Anyway, I think I've been proven right. Now that I can look back. It wasn't so long ago tht I stepped ashore Tekong and not being to get out for 14 days. 2 years in anyone's life isn't too long when it's passed, but it will always seem a distance away if you're looking ahead.

I'll plan to write the next few entries reflecting on NS. Hopefully I do it. =) Back to camp next week to prepare for my big day. Hehe..

Options woes

Ok, studying woes. In a big dilemma over what to choose over what.

The unis I applied all accepted my offers. The thing is to choose where to go. It's a choice between the prestige of the unis or the structure of the course. Both are important. But none of them satisfy this criteria fully. Hmm.. How.....................................

The dilemma

Ok, update on my condition. Basically, up and walking normally again. But the ankle is far from 100%. Can't walk for too long, or it'll start to sore, and the ankle is still abit stiff. So doing some rotating exercises to try improve on that, though I got a bit of fear when rotating. Not sure why, but my heart starts pounding a bit faster when I do the rotating. Shrug..

Anyway, follow up with the doc last week. He updated me what he did to my ankle during the procedure. It's called ankle impingement syndrome, result of repeated sprains. And he removed so-called "scar tissues" using a shaver. The joint looks cleaner now from the pictures. Haha.

He concluded that I was not fit to go back to camp and thus extended my mc by another month, till 24 Apr. Which means by then, I'll be back for only a week before I ord. Hahaha. Quite shiok. But I had my platoon and 2 fellow sect comds, who have been working their asses off in my absence to think of. My parents advised that I should let go. I've done my part and now it's time to give some long overdue care to my ankle. Agreed, but still not convinced.

Went back to camp yesterday, and talked to my PC. Basically he understood the situation. I asked him bluntly if they needed help. His reply was that although help would be preferred, they could still cope. Moreover if I go back, I would pretty much be just physically there and not much of help either. Agreed.

But now left one obstacle, in my OC, who's higher ranking than PC. He wants me to go back, to have my presence felt. Basically, to zo bo. That's what he prefers. Oh well.. Leave it to them and see how it goes. For now, I'm at peace with sitting through my last weeks of NS at home.
