Hello~ Mainland.

Time to rewrite my first blog post post-NS confinement period, was a little tired to write a proper post last night.

18 days have come and gone, I won't say it went past in a blink of an eye because the longest camp I've been to is only 5 days long and that made me very homesick. Amazingly NS didn't make me as homesick as I thought, but dreaming about Universal Studios Singapore at night in Tekong and waking up to the double decker bed I'm sleeping is a very huge turn off.

Whereas in normal 3 days 2 nights camp situations, counting down is very easy because the countdown is very straightforward, but for NS, my countdown had to be broken down into various parts, first was the countdown to the single digit days left, which meant counting down to the 9 days left mark, and from that became the countdown to the 7 days mark because that meant only a week left, followed by the 5 days mark and finally the 3 days mark. I probably did a lot more breakdowns in my countdown, but I'm a little lazy to write it all down.

Managed to make some friends there, but none I can really count as a "go to friend", like someone I will automatically go to when I need someone to speak to, I'm still pretty much in unfamiliar territory in that part of the army.

This is assumed, but I think I managed to put on 3 kg in the army in just 3 weeks, thats a lot for someone who only gained any weight because his legs decided to grow off into the distance.

As of right now, I'm spending my free time very wisely by using the laptop as much as I can and stuffing junk food into my mouth. First thing I bought yesterday was 2 cups of bubble tea, 5 curry puffs and 6 pieces of those chinese candy thats wrap with chopped peanuts and rice skin, half of which I gave my Mum. Bubble tea tasted delicious, for a junk food enthusiast, being devoid of any junk food for 17 days is sheer torture. I was thinking about junk food the entire time in the army, its just weird for someone who has such a thin frame.

Alas the worst is over, for now. I see the 18 days as the worst because I thought I would only be stuck there for 12 days or at most 14, not 18 bloody days. The good thing about being stuck in there for 18 days is the next few booking outs will arrive so much faster compared to the first one, that is yesterday.

Oh Emma~

It's really hard to try and forgot about my enlistment when my family members are constantly reminding me about it...

"So you ready for Army?"

"When you enlisting again? Monday?"

Well my grandfather's the one who's constantly reminding me about it which is pretty annoying when you're trying to forget about it, and he always gets the date wrong.

Tuesday! Tuesday! It's Tuesday. Not Monday.

Anyways, before being send off to the army against my will, my sister decided to treat me to a movie. As of now the only genre of movies that I think are worth watching in a cinema are horror movies because its the perfect atmosphere, huge and dark with a lot of people, if the sound effects of the movie ain't enough for you, the screams in th e cinema will probably get you going, the screams will start to get so annoying it will make you stand up and ask the person to shut up, and then it turns out she's a pregnant woman and her waterbag starts to burst out of the added fear of you shouting at her...

Insidious

Would have preferred to watch Insidious because it's really creepy and I wanted to be with an audience while watching the movie. Every time they scream I will probably start feeling like a smart ass because I already know what is gonna happen.



But alas....

X-Men First Class

We watched X-Men First Class instead. I was interested in the movie solely for the character Emma Frost.



Emma Frost appeared in the X-Men Origins movie as well, but for like a minute or so, which is bullshit and she looked like this....

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole.Diggy Diggy Hole. Digging a hole~

That's really disgusting because whenever I see patterns like that, with like thousands of small crevices between them, I have this really bad urge to dig them. I mean it looks really cool but who the hell decided that Emma Frost diamond form should look like this deserves to get shot.

Pew~ Pew~ Pew~

This is how she looks like in the comic, she didn't go to a bling bling store to have Swarovski crystals glued onto her skin for $2 a piece.

Emma Frost in Oval Cut

That's why when I saw this version, I was pleased. Although a little odd compared to the comic book but way better than the other version, she actually looks like a diamond is this movie, not a human reptile with diamond for scales.

To end of this blog post, Magneto, just to balance out the Emma Frost.

Well not Magneto per se but the actor who played Magneto.

My next post will probably happen in 2 weeks, after I get released, I will probably be bitching a lot about it, if I manage to escape the brainwashing that many of our past soldiers went through.
