*Breather*
Caught my breather after being thrown straight into action after touching down in Singapore a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, come to think of it, I have only been back for 14 days, although it seems like a mightly long time ago.

First up, National Day Parade: Yesterday was the first public show, a National Education show for the primary school kids. Couldn't say that it was a flop, although things could have been better.
On work,
That guy devouring the burger is my boss, and I can't say that he has been ill-treating me. In fact, he's one of the better bosses that I've gotten since then Chuan Peng. All in all, my attachment so far has been quite fun, heavily (but justly) burdened, and since it does not interfere much with evening trips to B.V., quite alright =) Not to mention I found a new kopi / morning tea break / afternoon tea break khaki to make life better:
Daniel saluting the crowd at NE show 1.Yeah, but perhaps one incident, which spawned from a collection of many previouses which quite unnerved me was the mass ORD-ing of many Specialists whom I respected and enjoyed working with in the past. All these because of (an) incompetent officer
s who ruined what could possibly be a great career. At this point of time, I could only wish them the best in whatever jobs they will be doing from hence on.

I mentioned before in one of my previous entry regarding entering the next stage in life. I realised that in these couple of weeks, I had been subconsciously thinking, planning and calculating finances, housing, etc for my future as well. CPF, SAVERS statements were printed and pondered upon, research as done on housing and car financing, thoughts were put into investments, insurances, etc.. in short, these are things which I have not forseen myself doing a year ago, but I am doing them now.
Perhaps the fact that I have only one year left of my studies is beginning to force my to drop my
Forever young mindset. I am growing up.

Lastly, London being bombed was a piece of real shocking news. Not that we have not been expecting an attack on the state governed by the notorious Mr Blair, just that London is like a second homeland of mine and I am able to associate myself more closely with this act of terrorism, especially since 3 of those blasts went off along my cycling route to Euston.
All I can take relief in now is that all my friends are safe. And all I can do now is to pray for the relief of those affected by the blast.

Oh and I've forgotten to mention, I'll be training in Jurong Island for the next 3 days.. Will be back on Wednesday. Ciao pple~
