It feels a little comforting to know that my so seldomly updated blog still has its visitors. Blogging from camp right now. Anyway everyday is in camp now. The same old shit with the roll call and first parade. Well well, and work committments is rather heavy. Can't really afford to come to work everyday very sleepy and blur. I mean now i've a whole section under me, though my section only consists of 5 ppl. But still, men under me it's a different matter. U ain't urself like last time. U can't do certain things, can't appear too slack, and can't dunno everything. Thankfully i'm quite lao jiao b4 this merger thingy, else i would be so noob to this office environment and kena bullied by them. Today there's a coord mtg, and after that i'd some more additional job scopes. Great. I love mtgs, cos they show how much admin lapse there is around and how much stuff people didn't realise nobody is doing. So they throw everything to my section. And being the IC i gotta do quite a big part of it. Certain things, i just can't trust my men to go do it. So i'll do the hard work and they take the simple ones like despatch and routine stuff. But honestly i guess i learnt quite alot during my 1-yr plus stay in HQ. It's kinda a consolation, that u don't have to go and chiong sua like what all guys supposed to do and u still can learn something. But still, 10pm and i'm still doing work, that doesn't reflect a very healthy situation.
Enough of crap complaints. I realise i always have a part like a paragraph or something in my posts to complain. Typical S'porean. I have to.
Updates on my life. Went for Terryfox Run For Hope @ Sentosa last Saturday. I realise i'm starting to like this kinda things, i mean, you get to keep fit, do charity and have fun @ the same time, not mentioning the thrill of running in Sentosa. Did the 9km run but it didn't seem like 9km. Quite proud of myself actually. I still remember OBS the 9km run where i slacked so much, and came in one of the last. This time round, i managed to shave about 20mins off that timing, and really felt as if i put it the effort. Really satisfied. =D I really would like to go for this kind of things more often, of course in a group, cos thats where most of the fun comes from. My fren drove us to Thomsom for prata. First time i'm eating @ teh famous prata shop, and i think it really deserved its name. Damn nice. Wonder if you guys tried it already. It totally beats those in Bkt Timah! And that cheese prata shop @ Kent Ridge. Haha...
Monday was an off day. Claimed it from AHM. The rules here are damn strict. Off is like the hardest thing you can want. I mean i've heard of people helping this officer than they're given like halfday off and stuff. But it'll never happen here! Lol... But i'm already used to it. So well have to clear my off anyway so took it. Unfortunately, the weather didn't permit me to carry out some of our plans. Guess just have to make do with what we have.
Buffets are crap. I mean you have to force yourself to stuff down more food than you can actually take. Then you gorge and gorge and suddenly the feeling hits you. You feel terrible bloated and didn't feel like doing anything in the world. Then you get this hicupping shit that totally embarrasses you cos it's so damn loud, i wonder if that's any link to the food. But still, it's quite a luxury once in awhile to indulge, and the freedom to take anything you want is quite a shiok feeling! Ahahaha...
Enough for now, ciaos guys. Lights off soon. Hahaha.. Time to snuggle into my sleeping bag.
