It's 2013! The year I finally ORD. The year I will enter university. The year I will make my first five digit materialize (I dare bet on that). Otherwise, it's just another ordinary year, nothing extraordinary really, just like how uneventful January was.
2012 was for me, truly an ambitious and memorable year. The intimidating challenges and onerous obligations entrusted, pitted against the backdrop of seemingly exaggerated personal calamities, were testing and arduous. Against the frontiers of adversity, the wavering determination stood strong. A firm and steadfast belief coupled with a tough stance and unyielding mental resolution affirmed my innate abilities once shrouded under dust and dirt - to surpass the insurmountable, and accept obligations, however burdensome. I've grown as a person in 2012, and if any, surpassing those achievements, would make for the best resolutions for the coming year.
January - the penultimate month prior to my ORD was, for a large part, too predictably mundane and boring. Passable at best. Handed over my duties, cleared loose ends, and in so, I ended up stoning in office, trying to act busy. Time crawled, and January is passé.
February - the final month before I bid farewell, just started. Fortunately, a series of events; 2 rounds of wisdom tooth extraction, Chinese new year holiday, 3 days annual leave and 4 days of 'good performance off', ensured that my time left as a NSF is cut short to just 5 working days, real happiness~
Had my first round of wisdom tooth extraction yesterday at NUH. The doctor was skillful and reassuring. Physically, I hardly felt any pain, though the mental apprehension was, initially, anything but, though I remembered dozing off halfway through the surgical procedure. Bleeding stopped this morning, roughly 20 hours later. One side of my face is blown out of proportions. That is normal though. Hopeful that it will subside before Monday.
Botting my Spearman now. Damn, I am still into maple. Ok, I have 13 more days before my hack expire, till then we will see.
On a side note, bumped into an ex classmate in JC. University is, according to him, much more stressful than JC. Army, on hindsight, was much better. Well, I better brace myself for the worst in half a years time.
Looking forward to starting a new life in March.
Just 27 Days (5 Working Days) to
ORD..
