Melancholic Rhetoric

Life's getting pretty mundane when every day's short and tiring..

I'm on medical quarantine from Tekong, so i cannot stay in on the island for an extended period of 8 weeks.. from 6 weeks it became 8..

sucks

it sucks coz it's an hour train ride from pioneer to pasir ris and then another approx 20-30min bus ride to SAF ferry terminal.. the transport fare's the worse.. and there's the 15minute ferry ride to the island itself.. that's 2 hours to get to tekong..
And to have 2 rides of such a magnitude back and forth every day for 5 days in a week.. it takes a heavy toll on my physical being.. it is very tiring.. especially on the way back after a day's work on the island.. and being in uniform i have to give up my seat on the train.. it is very tiring.. and the travel time cuts short the time i have to do other things..

I'm in bed by 9pm as i have to wake up at 430am and leave the house by 515am.. the past week has been the same.. i was fortunate enough to have a week of leave since the SME team has got nothing much to do..

i have one more week left of staying out.. can't wait to stay in.. i can go about making plans to maintain or even improve my fitness.. and i can sleep well.. rest well.. no more energy draining rides..

okay.. melancholy aside..

the one week leave was spent mainly in the gym.. long time since i gymed.. a wednesday of archery..

a thursday evening out with my lovelies.. lol.. just had a simple catch-up dinner with my sweetie jie ying, christine, dear chinyan and of course my sayang shwajuan.. had dinner at secret recipe plaza singapura.. though it was just a short moment.. i believe the time spent in each other's company was good enough to satiate the feeling of missing each other and also to relive the feeling of "the good old days"..
It was a nice time spent with each other.. looking forward to another occasion -- with more people the next time..

NUS indoor on the weekend.. been a long time since i went to a competition to spectate.. it's great yet weird feeling.. a sad, familiar feeling.. a constant reminder why i went through this sabbatical and i should up the ante on it..

anyways.. i was there to actually watch geraldine.. unbeknownst to most.. i have been providing personal coaching to geraldine.. so i was there to support her.. she did pretty well in the individual rankings.. she placed 7th i think.. but they got top ranked team.. so for the team event for both institutional and NUS challenge.. geraldine got 2 Gold Medals.. hope that's the start for more medals.. proud of her i should say..


but kinda sad too........




i think that's all for now..
next week..
ATP..
marksmanship badge here i come..
