K sat on the plastic chair staring at the rain. This was kinda therapeutic. The rain came in torrents, vicious winds driving it across the parade square in visible sheets, rippling across the flagstones. Sheltered under the grandstands, he enjoyed the cool weather and the chill breeze as well as the spectacle before him. Watching the wind chase the rain across the ground, expending its anger into..nothing.

Okay today REALLY was a ... day. Though I'm not at license to fully disclose everything, especially on FB, I suppose I can give a general outline here. Booked in at 6 plus today, vecom (veh. commander) the vehicle to Pasir Laba Camp. Was an hour journey. Got there, helped unload the stores, set up the stores, that's it.

And then...that was pretty much the end of out part. Because we're mainly playing a support role, all we did for today's practices was to sit there and watch. Just like that my Saturday is gone. Afternoon, it started pouring heavily. Not just cats and dogs but pretty much the whole Singapore Zoo came down.

The effect was hypnotic. Instant sleep atmosphere. Wish I were at home, but alas I was on a grandstand facing a parade square with nary a bed nearby. Well, nary an accessible soft bed for that matter. Tried to curl into a comfortable position to sleep and found some small success. Pass two hours this way. I guess the weather helped numb the uncomfortable position .

Fortunately the weather helped us end early too and we manged to leave with quite some time to spare. Managed to go home and change before leaving to meet Ben XW and Rainnie at Chomp Chomp. Had quite a good time. Haha. Looking forward to hopefully more of such stuff, especially after two more months. Lol. These are the little antidotes to the stuff in life. Zombieland Rule #32: Enjoy the little things. Like friends. -Ahem- Hint hint. -Wink wink- -Nudge nudge- -Poke poke- Okay, so the last part wasn't part of the quote. But still..
