tired

i m feeling damned tired now. mentally tired.
had a ns briefing in the afternoon, followed by a meeting at katong area in the evening and another meeting at harbourfront at night.

let me do a bit of update.

went for my 1st ever ns briefing and it turned out to be a disappointment. we were told that our original unit will be 'broken up' and used to top up other divisions' ns unit. so u can tell which r the reserve division and which r the important divisions. it's quite sad to c everyone going to different unit. i was taught that the saf respected unit integrity. some how or rather, this unit integrity gave way to higher order. the next 'sian' thing is i m going to a unit that's half way thru their ns cycle. for the next 3 yrs, it will b bn exercise, followed by atec 1 & 2. it's such a huge jump and big change in environment, esp given the different nature of trg we received during our nsf times in 6sir. personally i feel that it's a bit too much to ask for such a huge adjustment for both the men n the commanders that join the new unit. i don't know how things will turn out to be like. I am expecting the worst so that any positive experience etc is a blessing. next ict will be in july which clashed with my professional attachment.

the weather is damn irritating. thur was a super rare day where it rained only in the late evening. the sun was gd from morning til late afternoon. if not for the ns briefing, i will definitely go for a swim. i hate running/exercising in the monring. this means that i can hardly get some decent exercise since last mon n tue. this is bad and i dont think i will be able do well for my ippt. guess it's really time to start going gym. the rain is not going to stop but i need to exercise.

i have also being reading up on investment related stuff and it's pretty interesting. I am currently reading abt warren buffett investment strategy. will be trying to apply his principle soon and c how things turn out to be like.

I finally went back to nuh to volunteer again. it's again a pleasant experience. there's only 4 patients for this wed session as there's less than 10 patients in the ward which is a gd thing cos it's festive season now. no gd to stay in hospital. can tell that the patients really enjoyed the card that zc taught them to do, while i try to help out along the way. tt's our style of working cos he's better in art work so he wil do the teaching while i will help the patients.

went to APSN Centre for Adults (CFA). it's my first time there. had a meeting with the APSN consultant and the APSN executive director. it was a nice meeting and certainly v fruitful one. i have a better understanding of the operations of CFA, especially with rgds to the different projects that they have in mind to try to help find employment for the people of CFA. i can only say that we have to do our best to help these people integrate back into the society and find employment for them. it's a noble cause and im liking it. I am currently helping out in a social enterprise project by the CFA. hope it wil turn out to b successful

As i get more involved in nuh and apsn, i really felt that i prefer not to be involved in sch-related activities. i considered undergraduates as a very fortunate grp of people who can help themselves. so i don't c much value add in the sch activities.

okie,i m really mentally tired. need to go slp le. have a nuh xmas party for the volunteer at 5pm on fri. hope it will be fun =)
