Average Joe In The House. sKy

I'm so glad that I saved someone's life.

OK. It's not THAT serious, but at least I saved the auntie from being injured.

Here's the scenario. I was taking a train 2 days ago to Kovan to meet Dear. Upon entering Jurong Mrt, the train naturally started to brake. This auntie, who looked like she's in her late 50s and early 60s, stood up too early, and lost her balance when the train started to brake. Imagine her bending forward, her hands were both holding her bag which was behind her, and she was moving swiftly towards me while the train was stopping.

Before I could react and grab her, she banged into me, and "headed" me in my stomach. Honestly, it's either she had a very hard skull, or that she was moving too quickly due to the braking of the train. Whatever it is, it hurt quite abit. After asking if she was fine, she then apologised to me before walking away.

What would have happened if I wasn't there?

She would have banged head first into the standing pole. If mild, she might just suffer a slight bruise on her head. If serious, her head would have cracked or bled. She wouldn't have the time to grab the standing pole, because she was facing downwards, not knowing where she is going, and that both her hands were grabbing her bag as though she has lotsa gold in it.

There you have it. My heroics for that day.

I might have to thank the auntie for hitting me in my stomach, for I had a big appetite after that, and ended up eating quite alot of food. As usual hehe.

Number of days left to overseas training: 11 days

I hate overseas training.

Especially when my dear int warrant cannot settle the admin stuff properly. On Thursday last week, he told me that I was to submit my kit bag on Monday. I requested for taking an off day on Friday, as I'm due for AOS duty on Sunday, and I need time to pack. He then assured me that I can send my kit bag on Tuesday.

But due to my procrastinating, I didn't pack my kit bag. As a result, I had to take off on Monday. This time, things got worse. I found out that those flying on the 8th of April, which includes me, will send their kit bag on this Friday, the 31st of March.

My dear int warrant bloody wasted my off! I could have just come home every night to pack my bag, and still be ready by Friday! Argh!

I'm starting to lose respect for him.

And my dear int sergeant. I shall not comment on him. He doesn't deserve a mention.

P.S. Due to the confidentiality of this exercise, I'm not allowed to reveal to you guys the country that I'm going to. It will involve alot of political issues, and we certainly do not want to get killed when we get there. Please understand.
