Next chapter in life.

At a glance over the title, some thoughts that might spring into your mind would be
1) Is he moving away?
2) Yay, he's outta mah life
3) WTF he's on about

Or, i'm sure most, with their twisted minds, will definitely have their mind set on the last option:
4) wow, he's finally going pro in tool shed.

But that's not whats in my mind right now, no I ain thinking about "certain" jewellery. It’s all the recent events that is happening around me, and settling into my mind slowly like sand slipping from the palm of your hand back to the beach.

With graduation just around the corner, the usual sinking feeling is settling in. Questions that I never though of springs to mind all of a sudden, is my gown going to be the right size, will my frisby'ing the hat cause any damage and leave me with a hefty bill, am I going to get parking on the day, will there be traffic, how about photos, am I going to miss any photos... and of course, the more mind tingling questions like.. Will I face the wrong way while doing the stage photo? and most importantly, am I going to trip in front of a few hundred people and peers?

But of course, those questions fade away when my sporting commitment drains me physically and mentally. (Not that I become retarded during work =p).

But doesn't the future looks so uncertain, where am I headed, what is going to become of me, what are my real interests (apart from certain sheds)....

So much questioning, so much uncertainty, yet so exciting and surprising. I figured, life is pretty contradictory, some things just happens when you least expect it.

Oh so much D&M stuff, its turning me into a woman!

So anyway, I feel its about time I wrote something about boot camp, the happy joy joy camp which everyone definitely should do (=p). To those who just made that face “=p” or “?_?”, yes, I was referring to you when I said “everyone” =p.

Well, I had someone asking me.. “wow, they can camp a the Botanic gardens? I though they were illegal, the view must be great”. Well.. I guess the view IS great, and no, what we’re doing isn’t illegal, hehe. All that’s involved is just a “little’ bit of running, a bit of upper and lower body work out, and that’s about it. :)

A lot of things can be experienced during boot camp. For instance, I’ve never knew the literal feeling of “cold sweat running down your forhead” when pressed to the limits, or what a nature shower really feels like. I also didn’t know beating the birds to wake up is so fun, I mean, if you have pet chickens, you can catch them easily while they’re asleep!

One thing about boot camp is that it promotes team bonding. How they do it is, if people don’t show up, the whole group gets to do more pushups as warm up, I guess this is apart of their team bonding strategy that they’ve refined over the years. Sometimes you even say “thank you [insert person’s name here who made you did the pushup]" for every pushup you got “awarded”.

Now I won’t mention any names, but out of the few of us who actually enlisted our tough souls to boot camp, I’m the only lone soldier who turned up to every session so far. And yes, I got “rewarded” for the disappeared mates. Yep, team bonding....

Anyway, woo, I better cut it off here before it gets too long.I’ll write some more when I have the time or when I actually recall something interesting.
