Another post on something that talks about something

Tomorrow is 31st Jan of 2008. No big deal but that means 11 more months for the year to change to 2009. But on the other hand, i dont really like the idea of going nearer to my birthday because i dont want to go into the twenties. I love staying 18. 18 and life, you know?

nowadays, army just dont feel like army. I go to camp at 7am and then i go back home at 6pm. Everyday I just stay in office and settle alot of admin stuffs. I have radio, comfortable armchairs, and aircon by my side. I dont even feel like I am even defending my country. Alot of on job training during office hours which i think will benefit me after i leave the army. I dont even understand why can't I go to the civilian world and do the same stuff and benefit the economy of my country. I hate regimentation. Even though, my job is pretty alright, compared to my peers who have to stay-in, I still hate the regimentation in the army. I hate to greet people i dont even respect. i hate wearing the uniform and I hate to say yes sir yes sir all the time.

I think i lack motivation ah. No motivation, everyday life like damn meaningless. Everyday wake up, work, eat, work, eat, internet, tv, sleep. Weekends always the best because u got all ur friends around ah. I was thinking of retaking my As this year, so maybe i got some goal to achieve. I want to learn how to drive ah but i cannot afford ah.

Tml the planet will inch along the orbit around the sun. The nearest galaxy will inch towards our own galaxy. Mars will still be orbiting around the sun without any substantial signs of life form or water in it. Living things on Earth are being competitive against each other to survive, only to die when their biological time is up. Are all these routines of the universe making life and nature seems so meaningless?

A new year

If I was born 15 years earlier, I would be old enough to listen to the world's greatest bands ever. I would be saving money to buy AC/DC and KISS cassettes with those A/B sides. I could fly to USA to listen to Metallica, Skid Row, Vixen, Poison, Slaughter, Def Leppard and many others LIVE. Their music would be given abundant air time on most radios. Schools start to ban students from listening to Sex Pistols, godfather of classic punk music and girls will go crazy over Joan Jett and the Ramones. AHHH, the bloody 80s.

If I was born 25 years earlier, I will probably experience the Hendrix experience live and find a day job just to buy a Fender guitar and a Marshall Amp. I will love EAGLES to death with their Hotel California. What about the Beatles? They will probably be lullabies for me to sleep when I am still a kid. And of course, what about the Carpenters? Their Yesterday Once More and Close to You were the bubblegum pop hits of the 70s.

If I was born 35 years earlier, I could probably sway with swing jazz and dance to the beats of reggae. Nat King Cole would still be alive then and I could listen to his hits like L-O-V-E, his cover for The Girl from Ipanema, Route 66 and Mona Lisa. Frank Sinatra, Quincy Jones and Ray Charles will be playing my favourite tunes. Astrud Gilberto crooning her vocals over public radios with her One Note Samba.

Damn i tell you I was born in the wrong year.

Happy new year folks.
