They're still trying their luck and this is the final straw. I decided to call back but after 3 rings; the line was dropped at every attempt I call back.
Hence, here's where I emailed Citibank to ask who has been calling me and this was their response:

Some weirdo called me out of the blue and then sms me this after I probed the person to ID.
He must've got the wrong person.

Walking along Balestier Road, the Super Gangsters just had a running event together and Kevin lend me his running shoes. I got a new pair in return to him and when he saw it, he told me that his pair are worth 400+; a picture of a pair of running shoes with assembly up to the calf was shown, and it baffled me that such design of running shoes are even possible.
Eyes opened; 6:52am.

I entered this old town which was of Victorian architecture; the yellowish aura and feel of civilisation of those days hung in the air.
There were several rooms in this big mansion and I met a colleague Kat, who was sharing with me some old tales like how she did during lunch. That was when I realise Sherly 'was' her daughter and had grown up so much.
Some of the happenings were unclear and in a moment's time, I opened my eyes and it was already 7am.

In less than 24 hours, I will be making the road trip again so it has to be an especially early rest tonight after final preparations.
Yesterday's run had an improved timing except for waits at traffic light junctions. Maybe it's time to plan a non-interruptive route for proper training.
The week is finally coming to an end with this 'end battle day'. Just make it a good closure.

One of those days where I am unusually poor in appetite, the doctor had diagnosed me with gastroenteritis and a couple more symptoms and so I had to rest at home.
There's nothing much I can eat now, and especially so to avoid dairy and oily foods. Apart from laying in bed most of the day to rest, there's really nothing much I can do, and to put up with this nauseous sensation that had badly affected me at work yesterday, so much so that there were occasions I had broken into cold sweat while maintaining my composition. Even people around me could notice I had turned pale so I guess that's the only tell-tale sign that I was really unwell.
Hope I will fully recover by tomorrow so that I can resume my normal schedule.

I gave my dad a lift to the hospital, accompanied by dearie. But after the consultation, he didn't want to take our life back home.
As I drove, I suspect he was just being tough verbally and decided to turn in from another entrance; true enough he was at the bus stop and didn't reject our offer. Suddenly, we had 2 office chairs to pick up and they could fit into my car. My dad was elated and took out his camera phone to photograph us all before we closed the door and moved off together.
Next scene showed me at the top beam of some range where the security squad placed all around are armed with bow and arrows. I sounded out a 'dropoff no 1' and spat a big blop of sputum down. This attracted the attention of the guards and they started looking around.
At the beam I was on, it had transformed into a viewing galleria and the working personnel came to inspect the cause of the blob of sputum. I layed on the pillow now that had appeared and the working personnel just smiled at me.
Next scene showed us having to vacate the place as the next batch of users are coming in; like a bowling alley, they have to change to special shoes to enter the archery range.
I had now moved to a town and a majestic residence that belonged to some noble; the guy who brought me here seems to know him and the noble discussed about having a meal at his place. Moving on, we have npw entered a basement where there's a glass panel securing the architecture and the great, endless body of sea just beyond the glass. Both of us are now getting ready to dive through that deep blue sea to our next destination.
I asked my companion if there are sharks in this area and the response hadn't been clear; but it seemed pretty 'shark-free' in my own presumption. Soon, we are ready to dive.
Eyes opened, it was already 7:08am and I really had to see the doctor.

I'm still not in the prime state of health even after that puking of lunch earlier - the feeling of unusual light-headedness could suggest a physical exhaustion but it didn't seem so after I felt a little better after the lunch was discharged - more like a case of indigestion.
I was so worried that this eye-closing would be my last moments as I have so many things yet to be accomplished - especially the union with dearie and our lives together ahead. Fortunately, my time wasn't up yet and I 'live again'; new lifeforce could be felt flowing into me after the lunch was evicted from my stomach.
Let's do with a quick rest and when I wake up, I should be feeling much more energised.

It was a time travel journey where I got to understand the different channels in a time travel process. I was shown 2 virtual fields, which one where actual time travel takes place in a realm called 'time passage' and the other where travel is pre-planned / predicted as 'holding zone'.
Next scene showed me battling a villian in a spaceship' environment where I wielded a lightsabre; enemy was a robot and wielding a bladed weapon. It seemed that this robot had been made as the ultimate melee warrior.
After several rounds of fights, I finally thrusted the lightsabre through its torso and left the place by leaping out of the 'screen'. By this time, the glow of my lightsabre had turned red, the colour of the Dark Side. I had to dispose the lightsabre in my room instead of outside as I wanted no questioning from my mum.
Next scene showed me completing a RPG called 'Dragonslayer' which the melee fight was related to.
Before exiting my room, I saw 3 bamboo poles of laundry hung in my room - seems like they were moved in as space was needed outside, but without prior notice.
I have now moved into another chamber in the spaceship and was talking to my dad when he asked about the marathon winning criteria.

Time to hit the bed again in preparation for a battling week.
Hopefully the energy spent at the run can put me to slumber quickly so that I can have the mental rest for tomorrow's battle.
Ironing are not done yet but I guess it's better to wake up earlier to do all these and I can set off earlier.

Finally one of those times I have done a considerable run; at least half of my maximum distance so far.
Weather had been cooling and it's certainly encouraging to see many people doing runs at the nearby park.
Dearie took the bicycle to accompany me as I did my run. Tea was the wrong type of liquid intake as it causes alot of wind and makes breathing a little disruptive. At least I had made this run to jumpstart the schedule.
More runs to come.

Morning run cancelled in view of the late hour both of us had turned in at.
The afternoon was spent with dearie revising at Lee Kong Chian library; with the weather and a little lack of proper slumber, the aircon temperature proved very conducive to snooze easily.
I had fallen aslep on 3 occasions while reading - did about 4 chapters today so its a decent achievement. It was the first time I had tasted the "all $1.50" sushi at a nearby eatery which dearie had brought me to; we certainly had out fill and even ate some gelato which was on offer - 2 for $4.50 on small serving was really sufficient to end the meal.
A run has to be done tomorrow, since both of us lacked proper rest the night before.

The week has finally come to an end and the week has been well-battled.
Come evening - the Super Gangsters meet up for the next road trip - this time, a final gearing up for the trip which we will be setting well before sunrise in view it will be a double-distanced trip; so I have to I get ensure adequate rest prior the journey.
As the night had turned late, we had to do the rigging separately.

We boarded this coach as we embarked on a bus journey to somewhere. It seems like we are going for a fishing trip again except this time round, by coach.
Kevin reminded us to gear up well as he didn't want to catch octopuses this time.
Switchscene showed me cyber-messaging Debbie, an excolleague whom I had nt heard from for awhile. After catching up online for awhile, we decided to meet and it came to me to understand why she had not been able to use a phone; she's an octopus. The only way I could understand her is through her gestures but whenever she needed to get my attention, she willl dart mid-air and hit me with her head, especially when I asked if she was looking for a partner of her species.
That kept me wondering how did she disguise herself and hid all the additional limbs all these years and having the human form.
Now I saw myself in our old home in Blkk 99 on the 19th floor - the view across was that large pile of sand, even before TP was built. My sister broke wind and it made a very loud, yet bellowed sound that resembled a ship's horn; so I jokingly mimicked tugging the horn lever repeatedly whenever she broke wind.
Eyes opened. 6:48am.

Without realising, I had fallen into slumberland quickly after I lay on bed the night earlier. Made the usual journey to battlezone and reached earlier than usual.
With the amount of work, it's better that I reach battlezone earlier to clear rather than staying late. Staying late certainly isn't a healthy habit.
I have to remember that the "dress down" practice here does not apply in practical; only verbal; so might as well prepare attires for the full work week.

Fortunately today's a public holiday so all of us got to rest. A good day to catch up revision on that "dreaded textbook" just as how I co-relate it with "Wretched Mother" in Diablo III.
It was a drag to read that book but I guess it's the most constructive thing to do for this public holiday.

Weekend's over in a whiff and the battle week starts in less 8 hours.
I should be soundly asleep by now but the mind races on; and had picked up tt book to revise again. It'll be the 6th attempt at this paper I've yet to clear. Till then, I just have to bite the bullet for the first hurdle to clear, after which, 2 more mandatory papers are required before the capping is lifted.
Let me try to enter dreamland quickly so that I can be up early to start the day later.

The first run from workplace after 2 weeks into this seemingly quiet, but considerably busy place.
Weather had been cooling as a heavy rain had just passed. Seeing people from all walks of lives busily engaged in their smart devices makes me think back how much technology has advanced; even inside my backpack, the stopwatch is running to see how much time I take as I navigate this path home.
Terrain's quite a challenge yet good training and I made it within a reasonable but not satisfactory timing. A resident greeted me joking of taking a shower as I was wrapped in towel, soaked, after the run.
Now, the Angel retrieval.

The mind felt like a being dragged over vast distances when I left battlestation today.
Even after laying on bed since 9+, I am still having trouble entering slumberland. Is it a mental fatigue or just an unrest troubled mind?
Hope I can turn in soon as I have plans to do a good run tomorrow morning.

Work schedule's been packing the major part of my mind till I haven't got much time to write; so here's a resuming footstep to my blogging.
A colleague had left yesterday after about 2 years odd with the organisation. Soon, another will follow after today. I have yet to find out what are the underlying factors which Ganesh had given some hints when he shared about coming back because he had a good manager back then - this manager had also been with the organisation for a long time.
A full week will be done very soon. With the NS shoved aside, I can now concentrate on this new battlefield I have found. There's still a need to get accustomed to the flow of things around here.
In a couple of weeks, I will be on the road trip with my Super Gangsters again as we venture further into Mersing at another kelong. The earlier experience was great despite searing weather in the day and chilly windy weather at night.
Battle begins soon.

It's the final day of our fishing trip and we took the last boat at noon back to mainland. Lunch was done at the nearby KFC and we decided to take a journey up to this wholesale shop, but halfway through the route, we made a u-turn back home as the location wasn't affirmative and we had to take into consideration the buffer of traffic jams on a Sunday back to Singapore.
True enough, there was considerable jam and we all reached Singapore at dinner time. I took most of the catches as Kevin and Rickson didn't want anything, and Yide already has a month's supply of fish at home to eat.

I had been up the whole night and greeted Rickson while they all woke up to fish in the early hours, shortly after sunrise. Managed to get my sunrise shot and one small fish catch before I rested for the morning.
Woke up for lunch just in time; and then continued the rest of the fishing activities. I got 1 todak with "entanglement shot" and it was the biggest catch of the day I had. Kevin got one later too.
Right into the night - Night Fishing. Fried bee hoon were served as supper and I managed to catch another todak at night - the excitement woke up a fellow fisher who was napping on the hammock as I carried my catch to our spot.
Just another day more to go; and this fishing trip is certainly getting exciting!

Finally we got to set out for this trip as a complete group - with Rickson, Yide and Kevin - the Super Gangsters!
First pickup point, 5:30am at Yide's place, followed by Rickson, then finally Kevin before we move up to Malaysia. Kevin slept only at 3am thus he was stuggling to wake up.
We quickly got our breakfast from the first stopover point in Johor Bahru, a Macdonalds. I had to step up on the accelerator that my breakfast was soaked in coffee; so all I managed to eat was the hash brown while the rest had to be dunked into the nature as it was beyond "humane" consumption.
The road up was about 1:30; car was parked at the jetty's parking facilities and a boat ride there was about 30mins. Lunch, dinner and supper were provided.
I stayed up to fish after a short nap, while the rest of the guys slept during the night.
