The Human Instrumentality Project

Before I know it, it's been a week since I last posted. I'm on standby this week, and time passes very fast as a result. Actually managed to get more sleep this week, since we can't do anything during standby except man the ops room and wait for something to happen. The odd day off (like today) helps as well.

I believe everyone (in Singapore, at least) has heard about the Bungling Robbers, who robbed a bank in Malaysia, scooted onto a sampan, and landed, of all places, in Pulau Tekong. As I write, they're still weaving through the jungle in Tekong, running into the usual spiders, thorns and marshes. They must feel like hell, I know 'cause I did, during my SISPEC days. Serves them right, heh.

I've been reading misty's blog for the past couple of weeks. Misty was my junior in junior college, but I wasn't very close to my juniors. I was lost in my own world of misery, one that I had, in a moment of extreme short-sightedness, painstaking made for myself, one that I'm still trying to get out of completely. Reading misty's blog is an enlightening look into the life and thoughts of a person with whom I've shared a class bench for a year. Now I'm only a name to them, perhaps even less to some.

Life in the office is now pretty normal, after the air has been cleared. I'm quite indebted to my platoon 2IC for that. My opinion of him was going slowly downhill before that, but now he's earned my respect again. I'm putting in more effort as well, no longer uncaring about what others think of me. Another life's lesson learnt.

More later tonight, I think. It's dinner time now.
