woke up thinking that my flu was gone .. no such luck though ... halfway on my way to camp, my nose started running and my throat became very dry. by the time i reach camp, i felt feverish and half dead. darn.

didn't do much in camp today though ... spend most of my morning resting in my bunk and taking in second hand smoke from 2 of my inconsiderate bunkmates who were smoking and playing FIFA 2003 on the PS2. i really hate smokers who don't have the decency to smoke at stipulated smoking points and just throw their cigarette butts everywhere. i really felt like beating the hell outta them then and there ... assholes (pardon my language ... getting very angry just thinking about it). not only do they put my in the potential risk of getting cancer, they stink up the bunk and my clothes reek of smoke at the end of the day as well. and cause my bunk IC is a smoker as well, there's nothing i can do about it.

alot of reshuffling has been going on in my unit recently and my direct superior was one of the first to be posted out. even though its very selfish of me to think this way, i really hoped that he hadn't left despite his promotion cause he was really the best superior that anyone can ask for and he really cares for his men. now that he's gone .. no more kao4 shan1 already =( after having my lunch, i went back to my office and chatted with one of my enciks who's posting out as well ... next monday to be precise. he's another person whom i've come to respect and look up to but sad to say, he'll be leaving as well .... looks like the future's gonna be a little hazy now ... hopefully their replacements are gonna be as capable as they are, though i seriously doubt so. anyway, my encik affixed this note on his noticeboard for us to read and i thought it was very meaningful

SIMPLE RULES TO BE HAPPY

No one can go back and make a brand new start
Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending
God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow
Sun without rain but He did promise strength for the day
Comfort for the tears and light for the way

Disappointments are like road humps, they slow you down a bit
But you enjoy the smooth ride afterwards
Don't stay on the humps too long, move on!

When you feel down because you didn't get what you want
Just sit tight and be happy
Because God has thought of something better to give you

When something happens to you, good or bad
Consider what it means. There's a purpose to life events
To teach you how to laugh more or not to cry too hard

You can't make someone love you
All you can do is be someone who can be loved
The rest is up to the person to realize you worth

It' better to lose your pride to the one you love
Than to lose the one you love because of pride
We spend too much time looking for the right person to love
Or finding fault with those who we already love
When instead we should be perfecting the love we give

Never abandon an old friend
You will never find another who can take his place
Friendship is like wine
It gets better as it grows older

Our's is beyond friendship, we have a relationship
