Finally, I'm back at SG after an intense stretch of overseas exercises ...It's great to be back home...just breathing the beautiful Singaporean air is intoxicating enough for my tired lungs...haha...

I guess it's time to kick back my boots and spend some time with the people that matter most in my life...spending so much time away from home really makes you treasure your loved ones more...I really missed some people whom I have previously taken for granted...Anyway, this period of time away from home really showed me the truth behind the words "absence makes the heart grow fonder"...

I'm glad that I can look back and say that it was a job well done...I guess the exercise was a wonderful learning experience...and that I've walked away with many great memories...For instance, this was the first time my vehicle accumalator caught fire...It was a potentially life-threatening situation because there was a diesel generator in front of it...had the fire not been put out in time, even the people in Malaysia would have been able to see the resultant explosion! Thankfully, everyone in the vehicle pitched in to save their own lives...S3 and the Medical Officer were furiously(but to not much effect) smothering the flame with their field packs...the driver panicked and swerved...and the warrant officer nearly succeeded in emptying a can of green paint on the flames..haha

On an even lighter note, I met her last night...went to Indochine for Martinis...it seems like so long since I last saw her...but it has only been a week...kinda missed her more than I thought I would...ya, and we had a great time, despite the glum waiters and lousy lighting...haha
