Yup! It wasn't so bad an in-camp training, but the searing heat and the dratted feeling of outfield (albeit for only two days) makes it pretty much hell in comparison.
Nonetheless, it was an excellent performance by us signal platoon, sweeping the top place in our battalion with 100% marksmen in the new Combat Shoot and stunning our CO. Granted, the system was quite flawed in that many other shooting details had trouble with the range (you know, like the hits not registering and stuff), so we are just lucky that our details had no trouble. But hey, even with a flawless system, it isn't easy for all to get 100%! The typical marksmen rate is only about 70%.
Anyway, that's one hell completed, and surprise!... a new hell has been announced. Just yesterday, Diablo 3 has been announced. From the screenshots and videos, the game looks set to take the Diablo community by storm, though, knowing Blizzard, it'll be years before the game is released.
Not bad a welcome-back-from-hell gift!

A Week of Disappearance
This week you won't find me around. It's due to a simple thing called In-Camp Training.
No... not simple at all.

Closure of the Open House
And that was somewhat a relief, given the tremendous effort (mostly by others though) into the event itself. At least the NUS Physics Open House 2008 was pretty much a success, so kudos to the organising committee for putting up the excellent show.
Needless to say, Raffles Institution, following previous trends, trumped the other teams to emerged victorious in the final quiz, with at least twice the score of the second team. But really, I have to give it to them: the way they play the physics Pictionary, it's simply astounding. With just any simple diagram or drawing, they can dish out a list of related physics terms bound to hit the answer easily.
Hmm... but the major event of the Physics Society is finally over, and it'll be a year later before I see (and possibly be involved in) any activity of such scale again.
Now, onwards to the neglected stuff!
