internet-based human network programmes are an addiction to me. in my secondary school and jc life i have been wasting most of my time away on msn, chatting with friends who i can confide in so easily via a mambojambo network of wires and 100101110100101011100. msn's perfect for work-related discussions, too. and although the email notifications from facebook irritate me to no end, i still use facebook, knowing/assuming that my friends are going to be using it for a long time, and therefore we can keep contact that way.
but for someone who relies on internet connections (and the handphone) to stay in touch with friends, i have not been adding as many to my contact lists or asked them for their email address, or msn and facebook accounts as i could have (keep in mind i see 50 new faces every three months - bmt, bslc, aslc, and now my recruits).
to keep those things in perspective, i have added all of my ex jc classmates' and a large proportion of my chorale mates' email addresses onto my msn messenger account, let's just say the total number of those whom i've added who are from these two social groups is around 80. this is 80 out of 25 + 100 = 125 people. and that's in the span of 2 years. compare that to 50 x 4 = 200++ new faces in this year. out of that i think i have less than 30 added on msn. hate to say this, but i think i can now safely delete some of my old contacts whom i know won't talk with me unless during some special occasion. so in short, i'm hanging on to my exchorale-mates who are still going out together. how sad, the fragility of relations.
oh yea, this week was especially tiring. it's the first time that i - shock! - hurled vulgarities at recruits like how you would throw a mud pie at a wall (the wall doesn't strike back but feels shitty). luckily not from my platoon man. i think i'm too lienient with my platoon. not that they're stepping all over me (actually none of them ever tried to do that to me), but lienient in terms of push ups and other forms of punishments. i don't remember pumping the platoon since before the field camp (what if my OC sees this :O )
anyway back to the fierce part. they were supposed to execute certain drills when contacted by certain others. WA LAU that one also cannot leh!!! ya, so from that you feel like king, but in the end it doesn't really matter.
ok enough of mind nonsense. jay chou's new album is out!! not too bad la, although i think he's capable of better stuff. and i'm busy the entire of tomorrow - lunch and dinner outings organised by friends.
ok, that's all i have to say for now, because i'm totally worn out and tired today... see you maybe next week? or the following week :)
oh, stalkers please tag so i know who you are heh.
