OP-PP Games, 2010

It's Sunday today, 12/12/2010. On any ordinary Sunday, the routine would begin waaaaaaay after 8am consisting of breakfast then tv. Yeah, slob and slow day. If I was in the mood for something interesting, I'd just pick up and go. Watch a movie, car dealership-hopping or just a simple lunch outings.

On this Sunday, it's not any ordinary Sunday, it's the revised schedule for RMC's OP-PP weekend. For as long as I remember, I have attended the OP-PP without miss, despite being still a student member and missing all other OP events but OP-PP is a must.

The Annual Games are usually held somewhere in June as that period is usually the leanest part of the year. Too far away from SPM/PMR and annual camps, passing out parades, etc. I remember planning my annual leave to happen during an OP-PP weekend a few years ago while I was attached in Dubai. This year was different. This year, a Putera lost his life as a result of an internal incident a few days prior to the OP-PP and as such, the event was cancelled. Originally. Then came a new Commandant, Colonel Zakaria and being an OP, he realised how important it was to have the OP-PP running, despite being waaaay off schedule.

This year was also the first year that I went shooting at the shooting range post RMC. We were rather early and was included in the first detail of 8 shooters. Afnan..

Guess What?

I'm still awake! hahaha..

And Yay ME! I completed one proposal already! Well, complete in this sense means that I've done all that I can and all that I need to do and moved the proposal along the chain to the next responsible entity. So from one view, I've actually completed the proposal, my part of it at least.

I'm taking a short breather before focus on the next one begins.

In case you're wondering (which would make me wonder why you are, if you are :P), I downed two mugs of warm coffee tonight which is now taking its due course of keeping me awake and driven. I've had problems sleeping for a few weeks now. It's either one of those you-get-older-therefore-you-need-less-sleep, or you've-not-grown-up-and-still-sleep-like-babies syndrome. I'd prefer the latter, feels youthful still, though I know it's just what I tell myself :) Last night, tossed and tossed on the bed, woke up, went to the loo, washed face, went back to bed, tossed summore, sat up, turned, tried to go back to sleep, tossed and turned summore then took my pillow and slept on the floor. Still tossed and turned until I was given a blankie which actually helped. Decided that the blankie's better utilised as a blankie instead of a mat.

And slept until morning.

Yawned the whole morning until 10:30am and even slept part-way through a presentation (at the front-row, in front of the presenter summore!) and attributed that to the restless night I had. Oh yes, apart from the two reasons above, I think I need a second pillow. Or a bolster. Or both. Actually, I think both is kinda neat as well. Boleh guling-guling with the bolster and use the second pillow to elevate my head and watch tv while lying down. Ah, yes, the very improper posture and eye-level to watch tv.

Or then again, I can get me one of those Serta beds with attached tv dock and motorised recliner-whatnots as depicted below:



Dang. Blogspot still has the same issues it had before. So anyway, yeah, The bed you're seeing up there comes with a motorised pedestal that brings the tv up with a push of a button. That'd surely makes me want to be lazy all day!

Sufficient break already. Later then!

I'm supposed to complete a proposal..

but instead, I blog.

I've not been blogging for at least a year. First it was "I'm-looking-for-a-fresher-look" excuse. Then, work kicked in. From the last post that I wrote in the previous blog to today, many things changed.

I shifted work - got a new job, a new office, a new boss, new office mates, new environment. And I got me a wife :)

I guess the last bit isn't supposed to be written the way it was but I just can't help squeezing that sentence there. I'm still me, I assure you, no less and no more than before. Well, maybe more. Those 6 kilos I lost over a period of 6 weeks were blissfully added post-raya through countless days of open houses. Me boss commented on that too, hehe..

I'd like this posting to be cheerful as it marks the beginning of a new blogsite for me.

Back to work people!

OK.. not people but person.

"I'm on it!"
