Ein Weihnachten ganz ohne Geld und Geist | Ace!

Hallo ihr alle da draussen...Zuerst...Frohe Weihnachten! Und auch einen gute Rutsch ins neue Jahr dazu... Finally, Christmas is here! But for me, it's a Christmas without any money and without much spirit too. Sad man...But i'll tell you more later...Anyhow...i hope that all of you out there get tons and tons of presents and be really happy this Christmas...2004 is already drawing to a close...hope all of you don't have regrets! For me...a year with many regrets and pains, but also a year when i finally grew out of that old shell. OCS has done wonders. I think...hopefully it's for the real good...

Anyway, i shall not digress further on this. If not i'll end up ranting and raving about OCS, FAOCC and our inner stars/demons again. This has got to be the poorest Christmas ever. Goodness. Why? Because pre-BATTLE KING i already spent 500 bucks on the Ace...then i come back and spend another 200 bucks on a sword display case...this thing which i will put my sword in and show it off to the world la...and rightly so may i add. This is the culmination of 42 weeks of blood, sweat, shit and tears. Anyone who has been through this should deserve this sword - especially if you've survived. Although i do feel that there are some cocksters who certainly do not deserve this particular honour.

Also this is a Christmas without much Christmas cheer and spirit...Must be the thing about being in camp. There's almost zero cheer and spirit in Khatib Camp, especially the bloody School of Artillery...was für ein grausames Ort! Got to wake up at 0530...got to do area cleaning...got to do our chin-ups...The only thing related to Christmas probably was area cleaning. Because we were all frantically station-hopping to find a station which plays Christmas songs! From WKRZ to Class 95 to Gold to Power 98 to Perfect 10...you name it, we tried it. Too bad. Whenever you want desperately to hear a Christmas song, they never play it. Always have dumb advertisment breaks or DJ chatter.

Evil pricks, aren't they? Haha.

But today we did have the School of Arty Christmas celebration...at the pool...All the cadets had to play something...played the kayak polo as goalkeeper...Everyone said i played well. Hmm. Okay lah. It's not easy...but nor is it impossibly difficult...however, it must be said that capsizing as a keeper is something you should never let happen...and got to be active also...unlike other keepers who were essentially passive defence. Waiting for something nice to hit them.

Then we had the stupid area inspection again...booked out at 1300! Sian man. Half a day burned away.

Ace! There's cosmic bowling at the CHEVRONS as i speak...went down there for a quick hour of games too...And for some surprises. Guess what? I didn't need a glowing houseball anymore...The Ace glows...not just the engraving...the entire ball glows. So the Royal/Lime/Cherry became iridiscient hues of fluorescent reds, greens and blues...and it played well too...hit my first closed game! Score? 236. Woohoo! That's awesome, dude! Haha...one good thing which came from Christmas...never knew it would be this good...Shows improvement! I still have much to learn under John though. Hopefully one day i'll play well enough and score high enough...(yes you may call it pride.)

No money for Christmas! Sigh.
