New Desktop

Finally managed to secure a gaming desktop, in exchange for my current laptop. Since the laptop was originally not meant for gaming purposes, my father can use it to his heart's content for his work.


Much to my chagrin, after 3 hours of carefully plugging every cable myself, the LCD display monitor gave up on me! Not completely though, just that the lighting was virtually non-existent. I had to use my army torchlight to shine at the screen, squinting my eyes to see the disappearing mouse cursor.


Ginway happily told me that he has 3 more weeks of NSF days ahead of him, while I am lamenting the fact that I have another guard duty on AHM (army half marathon) day.


Meanwhile, you know that your NSF liability is shorter as you see more newbies coming in (understudy). They have to go through the sad same destiny of going to Kakit Bukit Driving Camp next week, which I happily bid them good luck.


Ran 14km in 80 min, which is quite slow according to my standard, but apparently everyone else prefer to enjoy the forestwalk. Stopped in 7km intervals after running like mad to the water point. My stamina for 2.4km should have improved. I might consider taking IPPT before my ORD.
