Sunday, April 04, 2004 Yes, JQ, I'm still writing. A bit lazy these few days, that's all. Not that I've nothing to write, just that I can't find the effort to log on and type it out. I'm lazy by nature. =P Just built a new computer from scratch today. A little proud of my work, since it's the first computer I assembled myself. With some help from my dad and brother, of course. Also the first computer that I bought with my own money, bar some small components. My spending balance reads -$440 now.. I'm going to try to be thrifty for the next few months. Hard task, considering I still owe a few people treats, a few people presents, a few people a meeting, and there's a platoon dinner coming up as well. The more money I get, the more I spend. Well I could spend a few paragraphs arguing how it's better to spend what money I have than let it earn a measly 0.125% interest in the stupid bank. I'm looking for some investment plans somewhat half-heartedly. After laying aside some money for university's extra expenses, I can only spare about $3000, which ain't much seed money. That's a topic for another time, however. A very eventful week, so eventful that I don't know where to start. Slept a lot more this week than I had for the past few months. My platoon 2IC had planned for an ultra-long Good Friday weekend, taking advantage of it to apply for 2.5 days' leave, to make it 5 days total away from work. Had to cancel it, sadly, since my platoon's conducting a live firing during that week. P226 live firing, and it's rumoured that, in a break from custom, the NSFs will get to fire it as well. It's something I look forward to eagerly, because it's something very few NSFs will get to experience. Even my senior NSFs didn't get this chance. The next week promises to be hectic, with major sweeps incoming, plus preparations for this live firing to make. Cycled to Seletar Camp yesterday, courtesy of a sergeant who lives near me. He graciously lent me a spare bicycle, and we cycled there together to conduct IPPT for the engineer regulars. The seat was awful, and I ended up with bruised buttocks. However the feeling of breezing down the deserted roads in the wee hours was good. So was riding a bicycle again, after such a long time. Didn't want to get on the bicycle for the return trip, but I had to bring it back. The bruises made the trip quite torturous. Still a good experience, though next time I'll bring a cushion along. A long entry, to make up slightly for the 1 week plus of silence. I'll try to write more frequently, I promise. For now, good night.
