Sick?

It's that time of the week again. Yup, the time of the week when you just feel like staying in the comfort of your own home. In fact, I've been feeling that way for much of the later part of this afternoon. A combination of lack of sleep, junk food and strenuous activity (e.g. running around in wet clothes in the cold night air) have resulted in me catching a cold. Beside the usual cough I have every morning when I wake up that is. That's right man, I'm one sick boy. Haha.

August is the baby boom month I'm telling you. At least five people from KPC alone. Not to mention long lost school friends' brithdays as well. As everyone knows, I'm not very good at getting presents, yeah, even for close friends, and even if they're girls. And having a deficit in my bank account doesn't help very much either. So many things to pay for - SAFRA membership fees (thank goodness it'll be completed in one or two months' time), company T-shirt, mug, photograph, knees guards, canteen breaks, stuff from the gift shop, snacks... And the list goes on. As a result, I haven't saved a single cent meant for my driving lessons in the future, that is if I still decide to continue with the practical sessions.

Anyway, the past week has been okay. Lots of admin time, live firing, even a rigourous "hands-on" first aid lesson by a Kiwi Sergeant Major from the Royal New Zealand Army, and yes more live firing. Wanted to go out or catch a movie or something today, but due to time constraints and sleepiness, the outing had to be called off. Ahh well. For once I'm looking forward to the week because for once, it ends on Tuesday. Yup. National Day and the three days of offs-in-lieu. Yeah man. Lots of catching up to do and stuff. Indeed, a well-deserved break before Nutcracker. =)

Okay man, gotta plan for the Sec 3 house visits and get on with my Walls Magnum. Till Tuesday.
