Last week was one of the most tiring weeks I'd ever experienced in the army. We had a summary exercise(that is, an exercise that was made up of all the earlier exercises we had earlier in the course) codenamed Ex. HAWK. Let me run you through the list of things that we did. The night FIBUA(Fighting in Built Up Areas) was especially memorable. With our night vision gear and well rehearsed movements, it looked as if we were filming a counter-terrorist movie. But training is still training, and I do not realy have the confidence to say that in a real war, what we had trained for would be effective. On to the happy stuff. Caught up with the ol' Fairfield Prefects gang last evening. We met at Fish and Co. at the Glass House. Dinner was especially eventful. Over at another table, there was a birthday bash going on. Then the birthday girl came over to our table(like she did to every table) to tell us that it was her birthday(I suppose it was some dare). Interestingly everyone was a real sport, giving her their well wishes. We too, made quite a din when she came over. For a moment, the restaurant felt more like a club then an eatery. Well dinner was satisfying, but then some of them had to go home right after we had finished(its always the case isn't it?). The rest of us went over to Ada's house for an early morning session of mahjong that lasted till 6am today. Haha, we didn't really play till six, rather we stopped at 3 and everyone just slept in her living room. Oh yes Joanna, if you are reading this, I will never forget all the nonsense that you were blabbermouthing to Kenn this morning. Its hilarious. Hahah poor Kenn. The early morning breeze must have made you a little wheezy... I can't remember that last time I had so much fun within a day... Heck, it was worth it! Savant at 9/26/2004 01:50:00 pm ;
