i havent posted in ages, so here's some updates on life as it is...

i finally bought a ps3, after months of searching and contemplating. got a pretty good deal i think, $579 for ps3+1 controller+1 free game. have thoroughly enjoyed it thus far. fifa09 on ps3 is infinitely better than its ps2 counterpart. after payday im thinking of buying at least one more game, but not sure which... Killzone 2? Fallout 3? Bionic Commando? Prototype? Street Fighter? so many choices, so little money...

finally passed out from the CBRD course on tuesday. didnt really have the same impact as the POP in BMTC of course, consideirng i'll still be in seletar doing the same old thing come next week. it does, however, signify the coming of our long awaited priveleges. booking in later, booking in and out in civies, bringing food and mp3 players in, all this kinda shit will be available to us from now on. hoorah.

there was 'platoon cohesion' on thursday, which essentially was a 2hr LAN session over at paradiz. it was fun for most parts, except that my PS turned out to be an asshole not just in camp, but outside as well. but it was good to lan considering i hadnt done so in a while. plus i got to try the versus mode for L4D, which i hadnt tried befoer either. playing as infected is mad fun, much more fun than playing survivor imho. lanned some more after the official cohesion bit was over. fun times.

btw in case anyone was wondering why i was online for the past few days instead of slogging it out in ns, we got 3 days block leave after out POP. not much, but any freedom is good at this point...
