[A heartbeat]

COLOURS

Garish colours ebb and swirl,
A riotous melange of emotions.
Orchre, saffron and other undulating hues,
All run amok,
Disrupting thought
Wrecking mental havoc.
In this kaleidoscopic prison of sorts,
Colourful chaos reigns supreme;
Multi-hued disorder, indeed.
Yet, looking beyond the kitsch gaudiness,
One just barely begins to see whole new realms...
For within the vivid vortexes,
A cornucopia of emotive sensations and sinous sentiments--
The succulent fruit encased
Within a much resented shell.

Gone is the euphoria since we came back from our visit to OCS today, nevertheless, i totally enjoyed myself there! Haha. My arms are still aching from lifting the whatever-it-is-called rifle at the shooting trials, but i think that was the most exciting part of it all! Every bullet i shot hit the targets spot on! Yea and the officer partner attached to me said i was good, like really good. Hahaha..oh but i think he was just trying to be 'encouraging' cos i was shaking a lot just carrying those uber heavy arms, even with both hands! Haha still he shook my hands like before to intro and then again after the shooting excercise. Hmm that was polite. Haha anyway, it sure was a great experience.

They live in pretty much like a chalet there - spacious clean and huge canteen, 2 per bedroom but with a desktop in each plus INTERNET access, air-conditioned hall, yummy food rations(bro says only these ppl are fed the best food..haha), football court, tennis courts, 4m-deep pool, squash courts, gym hall etc. Wow. Minus the tough trainings, i think it's like every singaporean guy's dream place for army vocation or something. Our tour guide was really nice too. Lihao's his name. Didn't realise he too was from ACJC till he said he was from guitar ensemble too!! Haha. What a coincidence. And i asked him why didn't come back to visit us? Haha then i realised how stupid the question was, he's in NS duh?! Oh but he was nice enough about it. Haha. And i heard him sighing softly to himself how he misses his mom when it was time for us all to leave and go home. Haha. That well, just fills ur heart with sympathy for them doesn't it? That place is great, but it's still not home. And i can understand how they feel. Anyway, just to sum up, if there's anything i learn on my trip there, it's that that's the exact place where boys really do become real men, like gentlemen yet tough at the same time, over there. I mean, just look at what a few months there has turned those officer cadets only 2 yrs older than us into? Great work.

No doubt of course, there are already some gentlemen amidst us now. This guy lifted the food tray that collects our plates at the canteen volunteerily when he saw me carrying 5 empty chicken rice plates approaching the trays today. And i thought that was real sweet. We sure need more like him around. =)

Okay, two more days and counting to the end of this year..woohoo!

Dialogue between Tarzan and Kim Possible:

(Kim) Seen the baddie pass by here? The one who's green, black and blue all over?

(Tarzan) Are you the Jane the director sent? Well, I'd thought she'd be much better looking, with a skirt and stuff, yeah...But nevermind, we'll make do.

(Director) CUT!! Tarzan, scratched that armpit! For goodness sake, LOOK PRIMITIVE!!

(Ron)[points a finger at Tarzan] You sppea-k Engg-lish before Jane came? So you were pretending all the time eh...that's style dude. [wink] its me
