Bio| (: (: yarn. At the moment, I'm in between high school and university - a strange limbo extended here in Singapore by two years of compulsory military service which I am currently serving. Since these two years are an inevitability I wanted to make the best of them - there is little else to do. After eight months of training I have passed out as a infantry Specialist (a noncommissioned officer, essentially); fortunately or otherwise, I am now whiling the next year or so away in the National Cadet Corps headquarters. I get to go home everyday and instead of fighting in jungles I do office work whilst running a courier service on the side. It strikes me as ironic that as I count down to my Operationally Ready Date (120310) I will be anything but operationally ready - far less ready than I am now, fresh out of specialist school. Sometimes I miss the army. The past six years of schooling were spent at the Hwa Chong Institution. In these six years I have had both regrets and glory, and graduating is bittersweet for both reasons. There were a lot of good things about this school and there are still some good things about it, despite what some may claim. Every now and then I still wish I were in Taiwan, where I was born, for periods of time, because sometimes: I want streets, not shopping malls; roadside stalls, not food courts; clouds, not construction sites; community, not crowds; soccer on the streets, not in a court. Sometimes I write poetry, play soccer, play Magic: the Gathering and debate. I try my best. These days I am obsessed with beauty, and vaguely interested in fashion and music: I listen to anything as long as it is fun or clever, and others besides. I like girls in jackets, and dresses, and belts, and cute shoes. In my spare time, of which there is more than someone in the army should have, I hang out with my friends, look older than I am, tend to be lazy, love making bad jokes, and am an Arsenal fan. I found love at the beginning of 2007 and I am not letting go of her. |
