Dinner made by dearie; a wonderfully tasting plate of noodles, completed with mushrooms and cabbages.

Nothing beats home-cooked food especially when it comes from the angel of my heart; it makes the evening more cosy and warm in the heart as we all dine under shelter in her parent's cosy abode.

I had not got sufficient space in my backpack hence the revision could not be "revved up".  Most of the time had been spent on my Macbook, continuing the research for the next trip.  

A short trip over Christmas definitely sounds good.
This was one of the latest time I had to stay after settling in.

I had been given positive news of getting my cut after an affirmation that I had been considered as their "1st class citizen".  After 3 years in the same line, 6 years in all since I left the armed forces, my foot had finally been firmly placed in a place where I can be providing my contribution.  The initial 2 months had been a little of a concern as I had many things going on; ICT, and above that, settling in really well and getting in to be doing it.

It was certainly a good note and thank God that I was here at this time.  My dinner had to be settled alone as dearie had a company dinner to attend.  Hence, the best reward for myself was to settle down for a foot-long sandwich at Subway.

Finally, one of those nights where I could sleep a little more peaceful.
It was an unusual encounter as I had been startled to my awakening from a scene in Mainstream where the Mdm had been talking about work.

What a fright.  I had since stayed up during the early hours in the morning.  Since I'm already planning something, this will be a good for me to do some homework online for my next backpacking journey.
This number just called again.  I hope this is a service call with response to my feedback.  Let's see if they call again.
They have called me once again.  What are they up to this time?
Hot day, an unusual in the midst of a rainy season.

Had my lunch and now hidden back to the cooler area - in a shopping mall.

I had fallen asleep so early the night before - little did I realise that I had been tired, and still unwell to a certain extent. Slumber had commenced at around 10pm and I had awoken at 4am. Had not been able to sleep since then.

The weather's picking up on the 'heat' today. But that could also spell a swing of climate later in the afternoon. Let's see if the aircon turns colder all of sudden as a sign of that weather swing.

I should be up and ready for the next season of run after these few days of rest since those coughs, phlegms and runny nose syndromes have been clogging up my respiratory systems since that contact with rain during lunch hour last week. This time, it had seemed pretty bad and I'm glad it's recovering well.

Let's hope tonight will not be a rush hour, considering that there's a fair bit to do in a 'compression of time' season.

Hope dearie has also rested and recovered well by today. Mine had been quite a tormenting season when I can run, hit that new mileage / timing and sweat it all out. Weights training is still on the hiatus till I've hit that momentum.

I sure look forward to having a clear respiratory system soon. Just a few final clearouts today.

I appeared at a place which looked a little like PLAD - green buildings with staircases elevated above ground level, and masses of people who are milling around the various complexes.

Another scene showed me fleeing from war-torn zone which later turned out to be a prank rather than a real military-operation. The place where people started fleeing were just along a dust-track with an informative shelter set up in the middle of the road.

At the building where these people were gathered, I saw a few familiar faces, like Alex Lee, Wan and then some scenes of the 'advanced prototype' of the Playbook. Wan was showing me this tablet that had various facets; one flick and you could access a secondary panel that was about 2/3 of the 'master panel's size.

That reminded me; these people were attending the devcon for Blackberry that had been shifted from Thailand to locally in view of the bad weather. The complex that I had visited then later morphed into something like that of Singapore Polytechnic; with porches, carparks and the typical type of building stucture like that of a 'standard polytechnic'.

Seems like this time, I had travelled to extensive places.

By the time I had awoken, it was near 7am and a sore throat accompanied me.
