1:19 AM - Wednesday, November 19, 2008

Today was the last day of slacking in a week before I go back to camp for duty tomorrow. Managed to call the private driving instructor to start lessons on December 2nd. Anyway, I decided to heed Joan's advice and blocked of my IC number and address from the identifications in the previous post, lest someone uses them and I get extorted for... I dunno, my autographed Claire's poster?

Anyway, decided to hit the gym for a 2nd time this week and today I absolutely made the wrong choice by going to tampines gym, especially at 7pm. No.1, the gym is so super packed at that time and if I had went 1 hour earlier it would have been much better. No. 2, it was so packed I didn't get to warm up by running on the treadmill so I started without much warm-up and I'm getting a bit of muscle ache. Hopefully that means I'm improving. No.3, they had like 4 machines that were under repair and those were all aimed at training the lats. Anyway, my aim at hitting the gym was to pass my IPPT and chin-ups happen to be my weakest station. maybe not weakest, but the station I have least confidence in. So, my trip to the gym today was pretty much a flop.

Next, I decided to find my mum at white sands to get the 20% off voucher to purchase some stuff from popular since I needed to get mt FTT books. After i got the books and a few pens and stuff, the cashier told me that the books were not entitled to the discount. If the books didn't have the discount, I wouldn't even go to popular in the first place and get the stationaries as I thought it was on the way. So not only the books were not cheaper, I wasted money by making a trip to Pasir Ris when I could've just gone home.

Lastly, the most ridiculous thing. I took the train to simei to grab dinner on my way home. I was in shock when I saw that the whole row of shophouses parallel to the railway was closed for paving of the corridor. I had to end up paying more to get dinner from long john's.

As if the day wasn't bad enough. I had to receive information which were definitely not music to my ears. It's really scary sometimes when someone knows so much about you it feels like they have spies around you or cameras hidden in your house. It's even worse when their spies don't tell the whole story or their cameras have blind spots and they make their own inferences, which are unfortunately incomplete or untrue. I have been trying pretty hard not to walk the same road I've walked before which led me to a dead end. But it seems like it's unavoidable when you're being pushed and forced by someone into that path. Maybe I should thank these stalkers for their actions, and they've allowed me to realise that this path I thought was different is pretty much the same as before. And instead of trying to find a side road to turn, why not just make an about turn, and walk in the opposite direction. It's time to face the music, or these stalkers, in this case.
