Home, and being damned proud to be there

That statement above kinda summarises everything i felt about today.

So i met reuben for bowling in the morning...which wasn't good, considering i haven't been to an alley for like a gazillion years...but oh well. i guess you need practice for everything. I'm not too depressed...and well for once i didn't get pissed like i used to...i guess i'm mellowing down, and that's healthy, yes?

After that we went to watch Fearless...it was like OMGWTF what a godly movie that was! In what movie do you get:

1. Some semblance of an autobiographical movie
2. Awesome fight scenes
3. A good dose of Vitamin Emo at the right time
4. Guess what...the hero does die!

Out of a scale of like 5 popcorns i think i'll give it 9.8 popcorns. Hmmm.

And it left me with what was, ironically, my secondary school motto. (Ed: for some maggerous reason i still can't type in Chinese characters.) The gist of it is, any organisation must be strong, and its spirit immortal - well...not just applicable to organisations. Why? To be explained later...(s.u.)

I met TA Battery for some ku shin bo dinner! Hahaha...let's see...the last time i went was with babycakes, neo and size...and this time was the same...good (and abundant) food, trash-talking, almost getting tempted into going for mahjong (and losing good money in the process,) and a couple of fags later, boss offered to treat everyone to drinks at dbl O this Saturday!

And being those who always look the gift horse in the mouth, we gamely accepted. HAHAHA!

But it kinda left me thinking. It was like the TA Battery of old: everyone was there, talking trash, eating together...it left me feeling like after so long, TA was actually one huge family after all. I'm sorry if your opinions differ, but TA is the battery who gums the best, who has the most fun overseas, and where be you an officer, sergeant, or enlisted rank, you are just part of a family. I'll be brutally honest (and maybe i'll get extras if someone sells me out) in saying this:

I do think the whole fatarian family concept is bollocks. It's like PGM is daddy, mommy and the spoilt brat older sister and we're all the young abused little siblings. Bah.

But TA as a family? The spirit should have its roots somewhere, i figure...or maybe it's just a post-FATEP thing. Everyone does deserve a treat for all the effort put in and all...in fact lemuel wanted to treat them, but luckily this came along. Not very nice burning a hole in his wallet the size of his wallet and then some, if you know what i mean...but i truly felt like i was home.

So this is to TA Battery. We'll always be family...see you guys in ICT! And well...

P.S. and kuek...if you read this...WE KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST NIGHT.

Happy Valentine's, maggots!
