It's been a long long long time ago...

Man...

It has been a mighty long time since I ever touched this blog :) Have to say that I am stuck in the army w/o any internet access and my time spent at home can be counted in milliseconds. Doesn't sound good, but it's my life. Yeah.

I have given thought to this blog o' mine, I have decided on updating it weekly. Weeks for me go slow on Mondays and fly by Thursday onwards haha. So at least I can update you guys what is happening in my life in edible little weekly chunks.

Life so far? I won't say 'ok' or 'fine', too drab. I would say rather mixed up. I am still learning driving for almost 1 year (I failed a test). decided on overseas education (booted out by NUS and awaiting a reply from Monash), and finding clerking a drag (pretty inaccurate data-entry). I am also on sunday duty and so again I'm off to army tomorrow. Yee-ha :D

Doesn't sound special, but it is my life :)

Oh yeah, my mates and I have taken a new liking to Monopoly. Yep that game which involves making other people bankrupt over fake money, handheld title deeds, green houses, red hotels, the red chance and yellow comm chest cards.



It has been a very refreshing and fun game to play. For one, I didn't know many of the original rules, such as the double-roll to get out of jail, and nothing actually happens on the first round. In short: a revelation.

Also, it has been very very very fun + addictive to play. We all form alliances over very casual terms and deals. An example would be the '50% off rate for rent for fellow corprate members', also termed as 'corporate rate'. One must practise keen skills of negotiation and evaluation to complete a whole colour, and eventually win the game (probably with loads of $500 haha).

In the end, Monopoly actually shows the true character of people. Cunning, trusting, ruthless or just plain luckless are just a few things I observe in others and myself...the luckless part that is haha :D

Oh well, better not make this entry too long and pop people's eyes out. If it's too long, just give an 'oi!' in the comments and I'll shall see to it.

Thanks for reading. All the best in your life.
