Life Without Music
Mood: Happy
Music: Mu Na Yi by JJ, Dragostea din tei by Ozone, Like Toy Soldiers by Martika (also by Eminem)
25 days in Australia without a music player or radio is really life without music. Songs playing in your head but you cant really enjoy them because they are memories so some parts are screwed. Dragostea din tei, Mu Na Yi, Like Toy Soldiers, Rasputin and other clown songs playing in your head.The occassional song played on the PA system was about as good as life could get. It reminded me of how important music is to me. Music calms the savage beast and the savage beast many of us troops were myself included. The weather, the distance from home, the lack of facilities and the long lines for the phones made us quite edgy. Now sitting at home blogging, i hear my fav songs but also feel the happiness missing in my life the whole time in Australia. Its not that i was unhappy when i was there but part of my happiness can only be felt when around family, friends and on Singaporean soil.
For those who dunno, I went to Australia to train to be a better soldier and not for holiday so you can see why i am so unhappy. Being dragged away from home to train is already very sian, imagine getting stuck on the first level of hell 2 hours bus ride from some semblance of civilisation with no proper sleeping facilities and no entertainment. Boring, sickening and stupid.
Well thats all i plan to blog about.
