anw, i'm appreciative of the holiday.. though a bit tired of badminton, after two consecutive days of playing it. and now i wonder.. am i in NDP.
Do u like being kept in the dark, SAF? cos i don't.. hmph..
And no. I don't like surprises. unless they're welcome ones..
which makes me think... if i want to be happy, i shld always think completely negatively abt any uncertainty.. so any 'surprises' wld be welcome ones.. hmm food for thought.. on the other hand, i can't make plans more than 3 days in advance which SO cramps my style.. nvm.. onli 540 days left of my sentence, excluding my clearing of leave..
Anw, mondays off is quite a good deal lah.. except it jus turns out that i'm in no mood for gg out, as was the case on sundays.. but maybe its jus bcos today is the end of a long weekend, so growing accustomed to civi life has made me realise how sad military life is. but well.. i'll soon forget the wonders of civi life. maybe it wld help if there was a RISK tm game to help me out.. hehe.. or chess. that helps too..
And i've got to teach some chess.. wld be fun. except perhaps chess is best picked up by an adaptive mind watching and playing and learning. i still rmb my first chinese chess games, when i was thrashed by haynes.. jus because i was fascinated by the iron cannon.. (which is NOT the most powerful piece..)
smthg like sacrificing my castle to kill a bishop in int'l chess..
wonder.. if all the names of pieces in chess were modernized, what wld their names be? i mean, whoever sends bishops or queens to fight in a war? (btw, do u, like me, get this picture of Queen Elizabeth with sword in hand cheonging into the battlefield?)
guess chinese chess, ironically, is more modern. at least they hv cars (meant to be chariots, i think) and cannons. and at LEAST the army is ruled by a General rather than a King..
mb a modern chess game shld be rank-based..
Or mb unit-based..
Either way, it's at least more modern than queen elizabeth marching into battle with the bishop.. backed up by knights like sir alex ferguson and sir bobby robson..
Okay. u can see that i'm uber bored. why else?
out. cya next week.
