Half a year ago was the last post on 21st Nov. What happened in the last half a year? A lot..
Union Trip to Australia, Demise of My Beloved Grandmother, Rites and Rituals coupled with projects deadlines one after another till it was reading week for exams. After exams? It was back to the army for me at Maju Camp. Was there any break? Hmm.. finding one.. lol..
Maju Camp should ring a bell now since it is one of the H1N1 Cluster for the pandemic. Yes. I am working there now but since last week, I will be officially on off and leave throughout till NDP.
Oh ya.. I am involved in NDP. I am carrying the colours for my unit, 6 SIR. I will be marching in the parade, including the 3.2km City March.. Not easy. Pretty tiring but I think that it will be a good experience. I have never been involved in NDP and this time round, I am glad that I am. It is the last time that I can carry the colours for my unit as I will not be eligible once I am back for good. **ensign officers need to be the youngest but definitely not a CPT**
Training is every Thursday and Saturday from now on and we will be training to prepare for the endurance march round the City. In the middle of July, I will be attending SAF Paracounsellor Course as a volunteer and to be certified as a counsellor with the SAF. There is actually a tie-up with SIM for the counselling modules and after the course, I will have to submit an essay assignment within 2 weeks. If the assessment is good, a certificate in Basic Counselling will be awarded. For the days that I am free, I will be working on my dissertation as I have yet to start and it is due in August 31st. I think Prof Ong is going to kill me soon.. Real Soon..
Just got back from Bangkok yesterday and I shall blog about my family trip to BKK when I get the photos from Dad. The last family trip overseas was more than a decade ago to Penang when I was so so young. Shall add the photos of that trip too when I find them.
Till then..
Love,
ET
