Old habit die hard..
To tell you the truth sometimes I still dreamt of reporting back to camp and doing the training I used to do.Even on holidays in Thailand and Philipiines I would still go to the Police or Military firing ranges to squeeze a few rounds. -

Just put up laundry to dry.
And changed out a new nametag for my old uniform.
Sigh.....times really have changed.
And sometimes......I really wish those admin fellas will stop being so 'creative' on certain aspect of our life, and for heavens sake really improve our lives!

In America you see a lot of this catch phrase 'Jesus Saves' In old Singapore it was, 'Save Water' but at time the water level of Singapore went gravely low......Garmen warned, 'Save water or else..' -

Shhhhhheeeeeshhhh.....
tooth really hurting. Need to either put in a new filling.....or extract it out altogether.
And the irony is, I am living near the National Dental Centre now.
And I either need a referal letter from polyclinics to have major dental work done at the National Dental Centre....or go to private dentists.
And the polyclinics dont give referrals unless I am really in pain.
Which I am now. And the appointments is bound to be for a few days later. Which means sleeping in pain for the next week.
