hey what's up. this week has been pretty slack. tuesday there was the formation anniversary parade, so we couldn't do much throughout the day. watched the parade; it was pretty cool. especially when they showcased all the different engineer equipment. heh. the parade went quite smoothly so everyone, especially those at the top, were quite happy. had this buffet dinner at the mess, and there were engineers from different units here and there. so i got to meet up with quite a few old friends, and my ETI buddy chervyn! he's still full of crap as usual hehe.

wednesday was even more slack, we had unit safety day, as well as talks here and there about safety, blah blah and stuff. thursday was CO parade, but it wasn''t that bad because our uniforms are all new so there isn't much to catch. did area cleaning after that, and got to have the rush of being on the rooftop (WOW -.-) it feels nice to be high up (well 6th floor is PRETTY HIGH for army camps k) and unrestricted by walls. feels free. you walk over to the parapet, and you feel like you just wanna spread your arms out, unfold your wings and fly away. fly away to places where no one can find you.

anyway! after that we had a talk by the MO (that's medical officer. for those who haven't enlisted yet, he'll be your best buddy in army!) concerning the latest outbreak of swine flu. it hasn't reached singapore yet, but right now it's spreading in many many areas. in my opinion, it's just a matter of time before it comes to singapore. but well at least there isn't much need for concern right now, because as long as we stay hygienic, and well, erm, cook our pigs properly then we shouldn't get it! hahaha well i hope this swine flu thing blows over quickly, because it is sad to see news reports of people dying everywhere.

basketball match tomorrow! against a team called O2 at toa payoh NS clubhouse 12.30pm. our first game of the league, and after that we'll have games every weekend. gonna be really busy and now i have a reason to actually take care of my own health/fitness. i'm still stick right now, have got the flu and feeling quite dizzy. it's probably the lack of rest, so i shall sleep early tonight. oh well anyway hope i can play well tomorrow if i do get to play!
