Military service awaits, or so I think…

by | Mar 18, 2012 | Updates

I’ve made the move out of Feng-Chia back to my parents place. I had to move quite a few things, however the room I was in looks much better than what it originally looked like before I had actually moved in. For one, it is clean and two, I fixed a few things here and there like the internet (The RJ45 wall-port). – So whoever moves in next, well, they won’t have trouble with their internet, unless they pull the actual wall-port; off the wall.

Aside from that useless crap, things have been boring as of recent, I haven’t really hanged out with my friends and my sister has gone back to London. So I’ve really spent time doing nothing. I’ve tried to focus on Mandarin however it is hard not having a dedicated person trying to explain things in an easy way to you.

As for my military service, I’m not even sure about that, if there is no conclusion to that and it is just an ongoing thing that drags on, perhaps I’ll find a job teaching English. I’d like to save up some money, perhaps start investing and see how that turns out.

Life is moderately boring at the moment, I hope I don’t waste what little of a life as living beings, we have on this dear old Earth. *Yawns*

Just to make this blog post, not totally boring, here’s a pic with my sister and friends:

Not a bad picture, right?

First run of 2020 – 5.89km

I have not run properly in a good while so I found today's run quite tough actually. It was definitely not an easy run - given that Christmas and New Year's had me eat a lot of food and frankly, I've not been eating with health in mind - let's just say. So as part of...
