I went for a 3 week NCC Teacher Officer course and now I'm a 2LT (NCC). The military component was only 1.5 days, so I don't know how a lady teacher is going to know enough! We also had 3 days of drill preparation for the POC, which is an OCS-styled one. We even had dining in a week later. I've been through SAF No. 1 to No. 4 dress. I've only not tried No. 5 dress.

I also managed to go for a 2-day BCTC reservist. I've also gone swimming once, and watched Forces of Nature at the Omnimax Theatre. I managed to meet up with primary school mates too. Of course, I watched The Incredibles and Bridget Jones' Diary 2.

I need a good rest, but really, I don't know how to...

The VJC College Day book has got some more of my 00 students getting honours.

Oh, what a busy year... And it's still busy.

There's so much work... Sometimes, I think that most of the work we do does not accomplish anything. It's just paperwork to show off.

I have reservist today and tomorrow: Medical Refresher Training. I did live IV today -- quite surprised I succeeded at the first attempt, albeit with some topo-ing. I also renewed my CPR qualification.

I did V-Kool for my car on Monday. The handiwork was not very good -- some bubbles. But I guess it's expectable. It should reduce UV damage to the interior since my car is always parked in the open.

The holidays are almost over. It's time to work. But I've not done anything "holiday" yet. That's the problem. All my friends are either busy or not in Singapore. There's a limit to what you can do alone -- exercise, shop, eat, watch movie... what else?

I sent my car for Tuff Kote inspection today to touch up the Tuff Kote rust-proofing and Sound Clad sound-proofing. I also added System 6 polishing. In between, I looked around Taka, Kino and Borders. Not a very productive day, and I did not enjoy myself either.

One of the 3 thorny patches downstairs I had cut up last week managed to re-grow a bit. I shall cut it up tomorrow if I have the time. I don't think it can last long without any leaves!

I did a little shopping yesterday and today. I had lunch with my church friends at Swensens Thomson Plaza, and shopped a bit on my own in the afternoon. I met them again at dinner time at Junction 8's Sakae Sushi. A waitress there recognized me as she was ex-VJC. Later, we watched the new Jack Neo betting movie.

I must enjoy my holiday more... It doesn't seem like a holiday.

I was on course at NUS yesterday and today. It was an H3 Modern Physics bridging course for JC teachers, although there were a number of secondary school teachers too.

The content was really chim! More like university Year 1 to Year 3 work! And VJC did not send any teachers! That is really not a good idea...
