The past week was a rather busy time, so considering the fact that I’m now at home, online, I consider this moment to be sacred.

Well, let’s see… On Monday, we had a once-in-a-blue-moon coy run, which can only mean one thing – It’s rather tiring.

After freshening up, I heaved a sigh of relief as I collapsed onto my throne, only to be alerted that I’d be attached for outfield training with a certain company. In double-quick time (Ahem… Superman, as someone would say…), I got my field pack done up from scratch. It took a whole hour, by the time I was done, the company was already preparing to move off.

It ended up being a rehearsal for the coy prof test, and took two precious days off my already hectic schedule. On my return to camp on Tuesday night, I found out that the rest of my platoon had already set off for cover, which left me at a loss as to what I should be doing. I cleared the backlog at the medical center, and prepared to move out and reinforce the BCS team later in the day.

As dusk approached, I prepared my equipment and headed off to the jungle once again. By sheer luck, the toughest bit of the training had already gone by the previous day hence my appearance was cosmetic.

Upon our return to base camp on Thursday afternoon, the sky started to show signs of an impending doom. It began to pour an hour later. Phew!

On Friday, we went to SAFTI MI to attend a safety seminar and exhibition, which was a good time to meet up with some of my old classmates: Beng Leong, Ivan and Chee Keong.

Yesterday, I tried to contact Jin Yu regarding the barbecue, but there was no response from her. Will have to check up on the group soon.

Attended the Big Walk today. We went there at six and began the walk earlier than the rest of the snoozing crowd. Thanks to the Nicoll Highway Incident, our route was modified and shortened. Kudos to the organizing committee for its efficiency and adaptation in response to the incident. In the first place, however, they should have selected another stadium to organize the Walk out of, such as Choa Chu Kang, since they were aware of the inconvenience the construction of the Circle Line can cause to both walkers and motorists alike.

Another week of outfield will be up ahead, so I’d better prepare to book in tonight, post-haste.
