朽木百哉のブォグ

Rainy day.

Fortunately my internal temperature has descended back to the normal range so I can be more at ease.   1 week has gone by without a single run so I have to pick up fast.

Quite a handful of work to be done for the housing renovation which requires some detailed working to choose the right vendor.  One of the big ticket items to get over and done with before the next hurdle.  Time flies.  4 years of waiting and here we are with keys to a place of our own and we can start working on making it liveable.

There's a handful to catch up at the numbers game but I just have to carry on.  Hearing stories of 'sudden disappearance' of previous colleagues does set my mind to think about how this place can be and how far can I go.  The next thing to look forward is getting my seat 'stabilised' so I can have one less trouble to be bothered about.

I entered a building and there appears to be some firearms testing ongoing.  A couple of workers werr there to help with the testing.  One item was the 7.62mm rounds fires into empty rooms while the other was some kind of flying motar fired from a missile pod which could hold up to 6 rounds.  It certainly does look good to be able to use those weapons and fire at will.  As I was only a 'witnessing party', I could not partake in the test run.

Next scene shows me moving to another level of the building; as I was distracted by the mountainous seaview midway, I decided to exit and take a walk to the outside.  What a beautiful scene that greeted me!  Destructive waves could be heard softly lashing against the rocks with grace from such distance, coupled with the breeze.  From a couple of levels above, dearie called out to me from the window and informed she's going to the ladies' while I wait.

Next scene shows me entering a room on the 9th floor, which appears to be some air command centre.  They are doing flight test runs through mountains; only difference is that the fighter jets are equipped with one large missile above the plane.  The pilot appears to be a lady of senior age, a seasoned veteran and over the radio, she has already taken high altitude.  Upon clearance, she moved further up to 10,000ft and now we can see the mountains' peak from the live monitor via a 3rd person's perspective.  Such a beautiful scene of peace and tranquility.

Another scene shows me going to the gents' and this cubicle has sliding panels just like those shower cubicles with multi-fold doors.  Upon exiting (this place appears to be a military camp), I was stopped by a guy and 2 of his men and a body search was conducted.  This is where I found my comrades scattered nearby me.  The leader appeared quite young and asked me questions which I deem as making things difficult.  His men did a thorough frisking while he was seated; that's where I saw his rank as 3WO.  Over the questioning session, I used facial gestures to communicate to my comrades that this warrant officer guy was an idiot and was obviously out to pick trouble.

The alarm soon rang and I awoke to the drizzle of the morning rain.

The smell of phlegm engulfs my nose since I woke up.  Cough was somewhat better after taking some Wood's and lozenges.  I hope it'll be all gone by tomorrow so that I can enjoy the team building activity, and I need my regular runs to be in place.

At least the post of the recent trip are going smoothly so I can clear them out batches by batches; quite a handful of backlogs there which I need some time to clear on top the mindpacked number game in the day.  Whole new world, some might say and certainly gets more interesting as the days go by.

Quite a hot weather this morning, so we might all be expecting rain in the afternoon.

The number game has reached midweek; I'm still recuperating from URTI though there's much lesser signs of yellow phlegm.  It doesn't feel good to have this kind of lightheadedneas but since I'm still on probation, it'll only be detrimental if I am absent; so I have to hang in there.

So far things are manageable; no matter how tough the going gets, I have to hang in there.

Been almost a month since I'm back from that womderful trip and finally got a chance to do some post of the photos last nite, even at the mental fatigue state and a little unwellness within.  Anyhow, I managed to rest a little earlier in hope for a sudden full recuperation today - not there yet but at least much better than 2 days ago.

Probably it's a chain reaction due to the 'jumpstart' run on Saturday evening but I won't want to use that as an excuse - I just have to run more to fortify the immune system.

Saw myself in a villagelike place where a Japanese warlord was having negotiations with another of similar rank.  It seemed like it's a norm for warlords to also seize the woman of their rival should they win a duel.  Next part of the village had multi-tiers ans I landed up in one of the tiers which faced the street soccer court; the only difference about this 'room' apart from others is the reinforcements built on the window as it has the best and closest view of any matches that goes on.

As I moved higher, I could see a more panaromic view of the place which we all are living on - seemed like an island with little human interference (ie concrete buildings) and full of nature at full glory.

When my eyes opened, it was already 6:30am but decided to rest a little more.  How I wish to see such beautiful scenes again.

It's been a month since I had a good run as such.  Did my favourite 10km route around Sengkang which took me slightly off an hour, but I'm still intact.  Could be better after a few trails but that pair of seasoned Asics has to go.
