1 month has passed

1 month passed in a flash since my last entry. Reflecting back, the month of Nov hasn't been a good month for me. Spent a couple of days in Tekong, did guard duty, spend a day in Sentosa for Coy cohesion; well, these isn't really the things that I dread - at least not for Sentosa.

What I dread was I fall ill towards the end of the month. Spend 2 days sick at home - one of the days was supposed to be my off-in-liu that I got for the weekend in Tekong. Thereafter, I skipped the Stand-Chart, the first time after taking part for the last 4 years, because of persistent cough.

Then I fall into a depressed mood that I spent my entire block leave at home rotting instead of doing something positive... Sometimes I wonder why I allow myself spiral into such a depressing situation - perhaps it's because I was sick pior hand so I didn't really draft the list of things to do. Or perhaps, sub-consciously, I just wanted to rot for a while so that I could know what good things that I could spend my precious time achieving. Whatever the case may be, on hind-sight, I could have spend the time more productively.

Perhaps what I should do from now on is to draft a list of items that I could do when I'm in top condition and some of the less straineous stuff I could accomplish when I'm not feeling that well.

Well, then I think I should act on this now.

List of things to do for the next 3 months; when I'm feeling well
- review and edit my resume
- CCDA revision and scheduling for exam preparation - target exam date is end of Feb
- Fitness regime

Things that I could achieve when I'm less well
- search for a suitable SN taker / also concurrently search for suitable positions
- Complete 2 books that I recently got from Popular Book Store
- Pros and Cons comparison of going on Exchange and working

Well, I think I will stick to this for the next 2 weeks. No point looking too much into the future. Meanwhile, I will just enjoy the activities that remains in the last 3 weeks of december which includes NLDS, Weekend guard duty on 22nd (not really looking forward to that but bo bian) Christmas as well as New Year which will mark the last 2 months of my National service.

Sure felt much better after venting all my frustrations through writing. Okay. Time for rest.
