Army boys love this period,
the 'clear leave, take off, go holiday' lovely mushy period

had a topsy turvy, messy month in nov,
where things just piled up in front of u,
waiting for u to clear it
for me, i find it my army life pretty boring after Nov because a large chunk of my motivation went missing
Ord-ed as they call it
So i felt bored when i didnt have the usual whole platoon to talk to, to tease, to hang around with, to tank shit together with and etc
and that was my down period in nov.

then things worsened when we had 2 major activities to settle before we can go for our break
been busy every single for the 1st activity
and i slacked a bit for the 2nd
where i realised that life's pretty hard to get by if u dun enjoy what u are doing,
better still, i dun even know what i can gain from doing the 2nd activity. 0,0

next came the UP period which was a trip to Melaka with my mum
she was on a paid trip sponsered by her company and wanted me as a companion
well i took the chance to get myself more in touch with the civilian life so i tagged along
paid quite a sum for the weekend trip but man, it was all worth it
food was well planned, eating at least a 8-course meal for every meal,
shopping was satisfying because M'sia Jusco is just so damn effing freaking big
tour visits that i wanted to do without were kept at a minimum
accomodation was impressive because they booked the VIPS rooms for the whole lot of us
(so we had access to their exclusive lounge which serves unlimited amt. of wine, snack treats, italian food from noon to evening!)
OWNAGE.
and lastly the entire trip was enjoyable because of my mum's friendly colleagues, good traffic and order in Melaka and good treatment we felt.
Literally a short and sweet trip. :D

that roughly sums up my Nov.
and i hope my next month will be as fruitful too.
