#LORGF Week 01

#LORGF = Life Of a Recruit's GirlFriend Its gonna be the second weekend soon, and SJ would be back next friday from his confinement.  Day 05 - Monday I was home the entire day playing Pokemon because i was lazy and tired from last weekend's cosplay event. That said, i was also suffering from Post-event syndrome and started to look through facebook and spamming likes on the pictures, statues and comments. Obligatory pictures uploading, tagging of people, liking of tagged pictures and thank-you post to everyone who made the event an amazing one.  I was guilty for having 13 missed calls from SJ on the way home on Sunday though because my phone's ringtone is "ever-that-soft". It was a short call as well since i was with Shera and i didn't wanna to "pangseh" her in a way since she was alone.  Overall, the day was spent rolling around and playing Pokemon and getting pissed off when i lost to the gym leader and Trainer N.

Day 06 - Tuesday The same old thing. I woke up late, ate lunch, played Pokemon and started planning for my family's Taiwan trip next month. Since its my first time being to Taiwan and i have no experiences or whatsoever, i was checking up on every possible sites and forums for the places we can go. SJ started to text me more often, whenever he can, and called me whenever he can as well because he felt guilty to have such short phone calls with me, and limited texts as well. His background was always noisy because its a camp (a guy's camp), so its hard to talk some times. Also, he would have to hang up anytime possible since he might be called down to fall in or assemble by his sergeants. I was actually pretty ok with it because duh, its not a holiday resort. I just feel bad for him because he is feeling guilty for something of which he has no control over :( Day 07 - Wednesday The third day of which i was stucked at home. Raining all the time - makes me wonder how is the weather over at Tekong. Started to get used to life without Sijun and went back to being an Otaku girl - gaming, manga, anime and internet. Played with my sister and had more family time since i was home all the time. Ironically i didnt quarrel as much as i thought i would with my mum. She is probably glad that i was home all the time and by her side.  Itching to go out but everyone is either busy with schoolwork or work. I must be the only lazy bum rolling around at home. That said, i need to get my ass and create an account with a driving center. #Procrastination. Day 08 - Thursday Sijun had lectures all day long so he was able to call me during the afternoon. Chatted for a while, but as usual, the PA system was blasting off all the time so it was hard to talk to him. Nevertheless, it was still good to hear his voice. The call came as a surprise :) Pokemon again. Taa. Oh, and taiwan trip planning. Gah.
Day 09 - Friday Slightly interesting day today! Went out for dinner over at Chinatown with the cosplay people and chatted + gossiped + fangirl and its just amazing lah! Finally stepped out of the house so it was like omg <3 Didnt dress up because i wanted to be a hobo. Hating my fringe though - need to rebond asap. Sijun called at around 10pm but i was still with the friends. I realized that i always chose friends over him when i am out with the latter. In a sense i understand how he feels about being alone and wanting to talk to me more and such, like communication so that we wont drift apart. But perhaps im confident in our relationship and my feelings towards him that i dont find the need to talk at every opportunity that we have just to keep the relationship going.  I mean, if the entire relationship is built solely on how much you hang out together, thats such a facade one right? Hmm, just my thoughts. I wonder if i'm being a bad girlfriend because i really felt that no matter if we did talk or not, im still gonna love him the same way i did when i fell for him at the beginning of the relationship. Gah, i hope i dont get too confident in a relationship that i slack off :/ Day 10 & 11 - Saturday & Sunday  Officially missing him a lot. Maybe its because we used to go out during weekends, and now weekends felt so empty. I had a sudden craving for Tamoya on both days, but nobody was free to head out with me. Schoolwork, exams and well, work. Arranged to have Tamoya with Rei on Monday instead because alas, by the time i asked her, she was on her way home back from Chinatown. /unlucky/  Hopefully things would be better after this confinement of two weeks! So, my "i miss you" takes effect after like er, 10 days. Thats pretty good huh. At least i am not weeping my eyes out and crying myself to sleep every night like a needy girlfriend. 8)

#LORGF Week 0

#LORGF = Life Of a Recruit's GirlFriend

I decided to start this 9 weeks diary thing because i would probably be bored to half death since i have one person less to go out and talk to (which i would most of the time). I feel so free and even though it is still an habit to check my phone regularly, there are lesser texts and lesser phone calls. My phone is definitely rendered useless by a large margin of 20% now. LOL.

I'm literally FREE now. LOL. 

Very Free

So here goes nothing. Hopefully my thoughts doodles can give the future #LORGF some insight into how its gonna be then.

Day 01 - 7 Nov 2013

Went to send off Sijun over at Tekong with his parents today. The reporting time was 45 minutes before the actual time whereby they would need to be present over at BMTC (Basic Military Training Center). I woke up at 5.30am (first time in such a long long long long time) and traveled from Bukit Batok to Pasir Ris via mrt. Might i add that the traffic was horrible, and some of the passengers were pretty uncouth.

The shuttle bus boarding location was at the bus interchange itself, and the flow is actually pretty smooth. The new recruits aren't allowed to wear hats or sunglasses or anything after that, and yeah. The ferry to the island was a good 10 minutes or so, and upon reaching the place, the recruits would be seperated from the family members and guests (whom would tour around) and lastly, all would gather at this hall to witness the oath taking of the recruits (as well as a talk from the school's officer).

There was a lunch provided (told to be the best lunch during the entire 9 weeks there LOL), and then it was time to bid goodbye. Everything ended at around 12.30pm, so its a good 4 hours since you would start everything at 8.30am - depending on your time allocation again that is.

It still feels pretty surreal knowing that Sijun has started his BMT training and would be confined for two weeks. He went into Scorpion and i'm not sure if its slack or chiong, but either or, i hope the bunk mates are good. I feel that regardless of how "hiong" your company or platoon is, if you have really lousy bunk mates, it kinda wouldn't matter much?

He called at around 9pm (the official first call time would be at 9.30pm to your parents) before he assembled, so we talked for a while and he had to go again. He called again at 10pm, and it was a good 15 minutes chat before he had to go off again. Its short, but i was really excited when i received his text message for the first time. Its just this feeling that he is fine and everything is alright and he is still there somewhere, even though on another island (& you receive a welcome to malaysia! message when you reach the place LOL)

I'm a little dazed from the lack of sleep i had, and i had to finish up my costume and props for this weekend's cosplay event so i was preoccupied and didn't had much time to miss him or think much. However, i must confess that i was constantly looking at my phone and waiting for his message. I don't know if it's habit or not, but my phone hasn't left my side today.

                              

P.S. I ate our favorite instant noodle because i was feeling a little hungry during late night.

You can get this from any 7-11 store for just $1.90! Its super tasty and the portion is not a lot so its perfect for a late night supper if you are lazy to travel or cook :)  We like to cook it as dry noodle, so we would cook the noodles first, empty the hot water and pour in all the ingredients and spices.

I realllyyyy like it. Try it!


Day 02 - 8 Nov 2013

Woke up this morning feeling pretty empty because there was no good morning messages to greet me. Went about doing my stuffs and all, but my phone was quiet for the entire day. Facebook, twitter, instagram and whastapp-ed a few friends about tomorrow's cosplay event and all. It kinda made me realized if i started hanging out lesser with my friends after i got into a relationship :(

Time to place more importance in my friendships and stop being a good girlfriend yet an asshole friend.

Day 03 & Day 04 - 9 & 10 Nov 2013

I am just gonna combine these two days together because i actually felt pretty much the same - BUSY. It was AFA'13, and i was busy with so many stuffs! Catching up with friends, preparing to cosplay, checking to make sure that everything is in place, camwhoring and basically just enjoying the entire two days as a cosplayer and event-goer. I took so many pictures, talked to so many people (whom i always wanted to talk to) and had really, so much fun.

I had 13 miss calls from SJ tonight, and we didn't managed to chat today because i was traveling home with a friend and i think it's pretty rude to just talk on the phone whilst she stands there stoning/alone/dunno what to do. We texted though, and i hope that my letter managed to redeem my decision ;A; Plus my sms was pretty slow and short too ... OTLZ.

HAHA, i know i am a bad girlfriend when it comes to such things, but yeah, its cosplay events wwwwww, is like that one wwwwww. BUT, this also made me realized that if i were to keep myself busy, time would pass by quicker and i wont be missing him so much.

Ahh, time to play all those Pokemon games and make plans with friends to head out for those dinner and shopping sessions. So, that's Tip #1 at helping girls who are missing their boyfriends during the army period terribly HAHAHA.

I'll post about next week's thoughts log on Sunday! :3

Mini gathering @ The Sushi Bar

Mini dinner gathering before Sijun and Kwanter starts their life as army boys! Dinner was suggested by Deborah over at The Sushi Bar. 

Their food is really good! The queue is long so we waited for around half an hour before we got a seat. The bill came up to be around $86 for all these and 3 bottles of beer @ $20. No service charge or GST! :)

Personally i prefer the Salmon here over the standing sushi bar ones. Its chunky and juicy, and most importantly, it tastes fresh and not raw. I felt that the salmon over at the standing sushi bar was so fresh it tasted pretty raw. Didnt really like it that much.

Gonna miss this boy a lot. I wanna type some mushy stuffs here like "insert a paragraph of how i would miss you and how we would last and how i would wait for you", but i figure it would be too much for the readers to take. So im gonna keep it simple and say 

You can do it! 

I believe in you.

& last but not least, im loving my new shirt from & shorts i bought recently online. 

Its so pretty /swoons. Absolutely in love with the kissy lips all over me. HAHA

I have been thinking of starting a #Lifeofarecruitsgf (life of a recruit's girlfriend) blogging challenge for the next 9 weeks when Sijun is in army. I have no idea if i can keep up and continue to blog for everyday and publish it as a weekly thing, but i guess its simple since im not gonna write essays on how i feel. 

Sooo, if you are a girlfriend of a guy who is gonna go into army soon like maybe next year or so, i do hope my posts helps a little in allievating and preparing you guys for the new phase in the relationship! I cant promise all good and fantastic tips, but at least you would know what are the things you would expect to meet and bump into as the days goes on. 

So then! This challenge starts from tomorrow night (which would be the day i starts to not see him at all) 

The first post would be up on the first Sunday, which would be on the 10th November :) 

Till then! :) xoxo.
