couple of thoughts

let me see... what's been interesting in my life the last few days? to those in the know, it's 6 people now.

got thomas pynchon's V just so that i could use up my 10-buck borders voucher (inelastic demand). interesting book, quite off my usual reading diet but i'm strangely drawn into the heady mix of evocative prose. if anyone of you has read it tell me if it's worth going on past the first few chapters.

oh yah. this morning was quite amazing. got to the army shops at beach road... this auntie just got daniel ong and me to sit down and gave us a priceless 1 hour lecture on stuff like "you'll need this for --" and "bmt will be like --" and "field camp is like --". thoroughly recommended to anyone who hasn't got their stuff yet. lol. she's prob been doing it for generations, got everything - seriously everything - covered. zulaika store at golden mile food centre or complex or whatever - go right to the top floor and walk around a bit. i think its prob worth the experience heh. we were pretty nubified after that.

-----

am thinking of doing up a couple of notes/word docs on my comp to people, just in case of anything in ns - accident, heart failure, this humble nubcaek cleaning a loaded rifle... and possibly more sinister/regrettable stuff. gulp. i do have a lot to say that can't be said, unfortunately. at least not now.

and i really, really must thank those people out there who've been a great support, way beyond my wildest hopes and expectations. when it comes to expressing the extent of my gratitude, i don't know what to say - words fail me.

well then i'll be gone from the 10th, and should be back on the 25th or 26th morning, barring a serious fuckup. will still be contactable on the usual number but don't expect me to answer calls. in case i don't have time to do a last-day post, take care all.

ahh when you guys say things like that it sounds so scary *_* PLS TO TAKE CARE okay O: goodlucks.

also yes elderly aunties can be very exciting people. i have encountered several recently. they are a lot nicer than many younger women though :/

oh also i finished Atonement and it's good. i think you will not like the wordy prose though. but it is um quite romantic actually heh (:
