Where should I start. Finally the pain in the foot is gone, at least it is not bothering me that much. The ECP run on Sat was a good start for all of us? Hope to keep this up with the rest of the guys. Haha. Looking forward(for now still) to the next one this Sat.

Dinner and cake @ Big O last night. Almost missed the train because we were playing card games after. So reminded me of how we almost missed our flight back from KL because of the same reason. :P

Had sudden strong gusts of wind just now and it started pouring, so glad I made it home before that. Hate to be drenched after the run, terrible feeling it would have been. With the rain now, I think it will be a good sleep tonight. All now I need now is a good dream. Enough bad ones for the past few days.

In this age where we seemingly become more connected, either through the internet or cellphone, we are actually getting more disconnected. I meant on a more personal level and I am guilty of it. Lol.

Maybe it is just me.

5, 4, 3, ...

We woke up to the early role calls; perspired buckets after dynamic stretching warmups; grimaced in pain during the static PTs; stretched muscles long forgotten; whined about people, anything and everything.

Though we all got lost for very different reasons, TF1 and 2, and no longer used to the load, we didn't give up. Though the sweat and blood we shed, we helped each other in suffering while blocking out unnecessary extra loud noises(read: irritating people who talk a lot) during the mission, completed what we need to and made it to the end.

CO said we got off to a slow start, but we ended the frame with what we do best, a big bang. Because we don't fluff unnecessarily, we only do things when it mattered and we do it to our best with that extra 5% more. Had to agree with what Wilfred said, CO was wrong about us, because he don't understand us. :)

It was great meeting everyone again, reminiscing about the glorious past (HAHA!). YK mentioned that only though suffering men truly bond, can't agree more with that. (though the la-sai gang would not agree with it 100%, you guys reading this shld know who, you know I know.. Haha.)

It has been an awesome 2 weeks. A good break for everyone, looking forward to the next one already. Next year.

It has been a tiring week, physically. Physical training never felt that tough and sleep never felt that good ever before. Haha. Well, at least I didn't die alone, we suffered together every morning @ 0730h. Understood the meaning of dynamic stretching and warming up, LOL. Most of the time we were half spent after warming up. But it was fun.

Woke up to the hills of Bukit Chandu on Saturday morning. Did power run circuit on the slopes and my gluts are aching like a bitch now. Not by choice, it was an ICT NE event, it certainly felt great nonetheless.

Attended two different wedding events on Saturday. A church ceremony in the afternoon and a dinner in the evening. Both of them are army friends and so we had to split up and attend both functions at the different timings. Lol. Talk about planning. Heh.

Well, another week to go. Always fun to be back with the guys. Time to hit the sack and rest those aching muscles.

All packed. Off for the 2 week annual retreat far in the eastern part of the island.

A is for

Apple.

Well, the picture speaks for itself. Hehe. Not entirely mine though. Lol.
