Three Unrelated Events

These events happened over the span of one week. They are neither consecutive nor linked:


Class gathering:


Glad to see some of my classmates again. Rested in the comfort of Val Lau's house for a stayover. Unfortunately, I could not stay over due to my persistent cough that will flare up during the night; I have to rush back to take my antibiotics. Not very nice spreading the cough around to my classmates. Hope they had fun there playing mahjong and PS2. The word "hospitality" seemed to have eluded my mind that night; I was racking my brain to find that word (that's what army does to your English) , hence was never able to thank the host for her hospitality. Hiaz.


Deserted RJ:


Went back to a deserted RJ with Raymond. The staff office was locked, so we had to pass all our documents to the general office. Met Roderick along the way; he was posted to MP (military police). Lucky chap. At RI, Amogh and John were resting after their game of tennis; both are posted to OCS. On our way home, both of us were silently thinking of our temporal postings in the army...


Mini T.T.C gathering:


Walked around City Hall area many many times (exaggeration here just to prove our impatience and tiredness) before settling on another dining experience at Cafe Cartel. Out of the original Treetop members, only Zhengxian, Ginway, Eddie and I came. Surprisingly, we did not eat as many pieces of bread as before, but nonetheless, I treasure the outing. It adds some colour to my otherwise drab existence of home confinement.
