I've finally bought an an ipod nano! After months of scrimping and saving :D
The new version has a wider screen and a flater body, smaller than the size of a cash card, 1.5x the thickness of a Singapore $1 coin.
I think it was worth it, the satisfaction it brings....eargasms..
The new earpieces from Apple looks cool, although my current Razer earpieces work better in blocking out surrounding noises and prevents other people around me from listening to my playlist.
the charger still has to be plugged into a usb port... hmmph!
My UIP has ended and this comes with several privileges:
no need to sing while marching
no need to greet sir, although it is still courteous to say Hi
access to the vending machines
able to use entertainment devices!
able to bring your phone around
book in by 2230 instead!
you can paste posters on the walls in your bunk
oh, joy. In little simple ways these bring much happiness to the monotonous army life.
I do miss the outside world while in camp, because I think of the things I could do:
Like attending university, having an actual life hanging out with friends.
On the other hand, I don't miss studying, my vocation requires me to do much reading up and memorising.
When I hangout with my friends, girls will talk about their uni life while guys will talk about army.
This is mainly what we talk about:
Boy: Have you heard?! Person A has gone to X unit! Tough life urh!
Girl: Hmm, what do they do there?
Boy: They have to dig trenches and go for field camps etc...
Girl: Sigh, I have an upcoming test next week! Its about proving this mathematical induction...
Boy: Oh, you seem to have a lot of tests..
Girl: Not really, just that its a busy week next week.
Boy: Well, we barely have enough time to sleep in my camp, after guard duty..
Girl: Have you seen Person B? She's so pretty now, I heard her boyfriend is from NUS.
Boy: I haven't seen her in a while..how is she?
Girl: She's in Biomed! I heard that its a tough course.
Boy: Wow, she's so smart, but she looks so nerdy..
Boy: There's this guy in camp who looks just like Chicken Little! He's studying servers.
Girl: Her boyfriend looks hot, wait, let me show you his profile pic (whips out blackberry)
Girl & Boy: (looks at blackberry screen)
Boy: I've finally attained my class 2b license! Wanna see?
Girl: I've gotten my driving license too!
And the conversation goes on and on about these 2 topics because it has become so important in our lives.
Then we'll get tired of the uni/army conversation.
and this is where my ipod nano comes into the conversation...
sigining off.
