moving soon

i'll be moving blog site soon, i've already got the blog up and finally decided on my url. i'm amazed at the sheer number of inactive blogs out there, hogging all the nice urls. haha.

i thought maybe a new blog will bring about a new writing style and focus. it's a maybe.

anyway, ohmyfoo has been with me for 5 years now, it's been through numerous template changes, from scrolling to boxed versions, from plain-themed to angsty dark, it is about time i move on to something more mature.

blogging has improved my thought process? i'd like to think so. especially so for the moments when i'm penning down a post, i get so contemplative. stringing thoughts together used to be darn difficult. if you read my first entry here, you'd discover a hopeless writer haha, still figuring out how to better convert emotions and experiences into words. damn hilarious.

its nostalgic yup, and i don't regret starting a blog. most of my male friends have never tried. some did, then stopped along the way. i probably won't stop, especially when i'm leaving for my studies soon. it'll be a way for my family and friends here to keep track of me. also, it can be really satisfying years down the road when i decide to read back my posts and recall my time studying in australia, coupled with photos and new friendships. thats another reason for the change.

about studying overseas, i'm definitely excited already, yet bittersweet is probably the only way to describe my thoughts, as cliche as it sounds. i'm leaving behind so much. the physical detachment from homeland is definitely going to draw me further from existing friends. the gap of physical proximity with close friends and family is surely going to leave me homesick for the first weeks. i can see it coming. i also have to take care of my own domestic issues, no one will be there to wash and iron my clothes, push me to eat healthy and study hard. going astray will be bloody easy.

4 years is not short. i've been through so much shit in the army and its only almost a year.. hopefully, i pick up momentum quick and get used to the lifestyle there, maybe time will fly then.

if you don't already know, i'm studying at UNSW@ADFA, which basically is a military school on top of being a university. click the link for more details.

i'm off to brunei next monday. afterwhich, i don't ever have to touch my army gear anymore. how BOOMZ is that man.

hide and seek

i just watched chelsea beat man utd and it was a pretty upbeat match for a neutral. high tension games are always fun to watch. arsenal's match this week was a thrashing but they didn't quite play their usual entertaining football, so i was kinda disappointed. but, at least they moved up to 2nd place :)

i spent an entire 5 days in ocs the past week, which was weird for me since i haven't done that in a long time. like i said before, once i had that taste of outside life, i haven't quite looked back. it's the whole nature of it anyway. it's like i'm in ocs yet i'm not. i don't mind being on course and staying in actually, like with delta and air wing previously, but those were good times because i had friends to share the joys and toils with. the stories just stay in your head as perfect memories.

now, it's just me doing pointless physical training, with no one doing it with me. there are companions actually, but they happen to all be officers. it isn't a problem with me, but you know i happen to be a cadet, in ocs. so the treatment i get is definitely different. if you're an officer in ocs, you're basically god, if you're a cadet like me, you end up at the other end of the social stratum. really deep down in the pits. especially when i haven't marched in a long time, the idea of marching from place to place just stinks :(

anyway, i've kind of gotten used to it already since its 5 weeks in. 2 more weeks and i'll be out of the hellhole forever! well i hope at least.

this week saw a huge misunderstanding finally resolved. if you're reading this chel, i'm really sorry for being lousy and stuff, i don't know whats gotten into me. thanks for taking the initiative cos at that moment, i wouldn't have done anything like that myself. i'm just lousyy. i should really try to be less of a lousy person.

note to myself: tomorrow i shall delete garena and dota from this laptop and rid myself of a persistent plague. i'm literally destroying my life.
