One Hundred and Fifty-Seven Days

That's how long i'll be away for, according to the mindef online overseas trip notification service - hmm it certainly seems much longer in days rather than in months - ah well...

How apt to get a reminder in the mail to do this notification just in time before i leave - or i wouldn't have done so at all (i am positive that the last time i tried to do so - which was for the MEET trip, the website clearly said that i didn't need to as long as it was less than six months - so i didn't - oh well, i was only following orders), and risk some unpleasant surprise upon my return...

Another possible unpleasant surprise that may await upon my return is rt in the event that the higher-ups really care that i don't clear ippt, if indeed i don't clear it on thursday - it's just too bad i have no physically fit identical twin brother at hand to help me out here...

In a follow-up from yesterday's post - i did sleep at ten, and finally got up only at eight thirty am - boy was that a much needed rest - i think that i can honestly say that this is the longest i have slept continuously at least for this year (recalling bmt days - PC: "Has everyone had seven hours of uninterrupted sleep?" moi: "Yes Sir!!!") - just too bad that such a schedule cannot be kept up for the next week...
