I ENJOYED block leave but all good things must come to an end. And mine did prematurely yesterday, when i was called back for vehicle servicing. Nvm how gd Kbox on mond, nuaing at home on tues, imsum, simpsons and crazy elephant on wed were, it all ended with the msg on wed aft, "tmr come back by 12 noon to service veh. tell yhour drivers too." that was halfway thru dim sum and suddenly they all tasted like they had only just been thawed.

So despite all the dread, teddy and i registered for our BTT at SSDC on thurs morning. Despite many concerns on whether to go public or not, we just decided that heck, just get on with the theory first. practical can always wait...or can it? haha.

then i went back to camp for the dreaded servicing. had to break track and swop the inner sprockets with the outer ones, for BOTH sides. horror of horrors. So i did it. and towards the end, i managed to graze my broken finger against the teeth and poof, there goes 2 weeks of natural healing and everything under came gushing out like water behing a dam. and the MO at tengah said, due to the crushing laceration nature of the wound, i'd be permanently damaged. oh wells. now that OC has banned me from 2 mths of servicing, hopefully that wont happen again? perhaps thats the only gd thing from all this cos im now flu-and-feverish, no less thanks to the haze and exhaust and dirt and what not back in SGC. bummer* darn wallaby, giving us trouble that is really not our problem at all. im sure all us nsfs would have had our fair share but this is one time that i really think is not worth it cos we are damn proficient in the stuff alr and those in 41 shld come and practise their OM course modules!

Utterly cooped up at home today, thanks to oc again for excusing me from ARR. :S Been reading "ties that bind", the read! 2007 compilation. nicely showcases the intricacis of all human relationships under the sun. the kind that makes you reflect on yourself. definitely not for those who dislike long-winded discourse or cutting, poignant observations. but i need to improve my rapidly decaying chinese. am taking forever to plough through a 30-something page chinese short story in the book. argh. and i want to read the compendium of plays that mark was reading (and im holding u to my 40% discount). and mz recommends the alchemist. that should last all the way to ORD. okay there.
