So much things to do, so little time

*Fark, my whole entry got deleted due to sudden termination of browser T_T*

The month of November was supposed to be a rather relaxing period. Or it should have been. Instead, there was just so much things for me to do, and I can just expect December to be twice as busy with my battalion coming back from India and the upcoming LAB grading. Haiz... so busy.

[Trouble in NS]
Remember the previous entry where I talked a little about getting into problems within my camp. Yea, and I got seven extra duties to serve now, no thanks to that. The punishment could have been worst though (e.g. DB), but it was my first offense so my superiors went easy on me. Phew. Now I will just have to complete my duties worth seven months, all in Dec. =P

[Video Games]
I love to hate how good video games tend to be released near the end of the year. There's Chrono Trigger, Luminous Arc 2, and Rune Factory 2 for the DS (plus me replaying Pokemon). PSP mainly got Yu Gi Oh Tag Force 3 for me, and my bunkmates all decided to start playing Monster Hunter 2G, which I too will be joining the fray.
Let's not forget PS2's Persona 4 and Ar Tonelico 2; both which will be coming out by Dec. Weee~ So much games to last me through the rest of the year.

[Technology Crap]
I wasted a signficant amount of time too on trying to figure out shit on the computer. First there was the problem with trying to get my comic site on the net (and I am still working on it, darn), and then the biggest blow for me was when my desktop's harddrive went crashing on me. Just yesterday. With all my important documents destroyed along with it. Oooohhhh!!!

Now I am using my good ol' laptop to surf the net. I don't have a Window XP cd left so my desktop is now going to collect dust. Oh well.

[Others]
Being stuck in a police station for a few hours. Someone I knew got into trouble with the law, so I was there left waiting till the investigation finished. Horrible waiting time, it was. And dumb policemen too.

I recently been frequenting a local manga cafe called MangaKissa. Expensive pricing ($5 per hour) but with really good ambience and services. Still, it is not the kind of place I can afford to go often, especially when one can read the same manga online for free *cough*. Most probably I won't be going down in Dec, unless I can manage to squeeze a few hours out from my tight schedule to pop by. And to see a certain cute staff there as well (half-kidding). ~_~

Sometimes I wish I was just a clerk =P

Sometimes I wish I was posted as a clerk in the army. Or if I could turn back time, I wished I entered NS with only an "O-level" cert. That way I would be a general storeman instead of some glorified "Signal" storeman. Both choices would still have their share of work cut out for them, but the responsibility one have to shoulder is arguably a lot lesser. Heh.

So just recently, I was put in charge of my Signal store, with some men working with/under me. I am no leader-material, but my superiors still think it is a good idea to appoint me the leader role.

Not surprisingly, it didn't take long for me to screw things up~

Okay, it isn't exactly my fault. But when it comes to working in an organization like the army, the one in charge is usually the first person to be blamed - and in my situation I am the poor sucker.

I can't divulge much here, since god knows who else reads this blog and ends up telling on me to the military for my misdeeds. *sweat*
All I can say I ran into quite a handful of trouble just because I was made to take charge. But I learned to be smarter in my field now too, so it wasn't too bad of a experience. Though the part of me getting sick halfway through the week sucks (and I am still in the midst of recovering).

Too much "arrows" on me already.
Yep, I wish I was just holding some simple post in the army instead. XP
