Wednesday was a potentially boring day, until we recieved a call from our Ops Room summoning Alvin. Apparently, a 5-tonner had 'slightly overturned' after hitting a tree. Two servicemen, including the Vehicle Commander, were heli-casevaced to SGH while 8 others recieved outpatient treatment at CGH. The remaining 3 were discharged at Tekong Medical Cantre.

Went down to Jurong Point for dinner on Wednesday together with Terence and Weizhang. I underestimated the western food at 'Kopitiam' and almost exploded after filling myself with the Fish and Chips there.

Chief was expected to come down on Thursday, but postponed his FFI to Friday, resulting in several of us missing the opportunity to welcome him. (He hardly toured the grounds anyway, according to sources)

Went home on Thursday night for a buffet dinner near Tanglin Mall to celebrate mum's birthday. The spread was rather limited, I'd say,but there was enough to go around. Laksa, Salmon Sashimi, pudding and cold prawns were the highlights of the meal. At 21 bucks after heavy discount, it was actually not a bad deal on second thoughts...

Visited Vincent on Firday. He met up with a minor accident on his way to camp the previous night. His condition was worse than expected, with stitches required for his upper lip and chin.

Plans for the KL trip has been finalized, with base cost at SGD 158 per person for 3D/2N.

Trip to Cairns is almost confirmed. Leave applied, Tours booked... all that remains is for me to apply for my exit permit.
