A good 7 weeks had passed since the last post i made here. Nothing really changed much, except that i've went back to camp for my in-camp training.

Saw lots of friends and had a rather fulfilling time to be honest. Only thing is i got really busy because of my new appointment and didn't really had much time to interact with my friends. I was hoping that i could just wake up every morning and go to the canteen and watch time pass. Unfortunately it wasn't the case.

That also happened to to be the period when the haze hits out country really badly. I remembered having to go through some distance of the thick haze to complete some purchase for other officers. It really feels like my throat is only fire and the feeling gets worse with each passing second.

Thankfully i got out of the training week in one piece, although i got down with a really bad cough that persisted even till now. Not sure why, but i'll have to look out for my own health since school is starting soon. Reasonably soon.

On a side note, i decided to just go for the bare minimum requirements for my course registration for the upcoming semester. I felt that last semester was really packed and as a result i felt less inclined to attend lectures and tutorials. Although i did manage to obtain a reasonably good score, i felt that i shouldn't let it get to my head and be complacent...

Somehow i probably will anyway, but with lesser modules, at least i can still recover from any bad cases during the semester.

Now, i probably should just try to enjoy the remaining weeks of vacation.

 Day 2...but i will be writing about yesterday instead. I set off early in the morning at 8am towards Tokyo station from my hotel. It was a good 20 minutes walk and with decent, cooling weather as well. I found out that opposite my building is a Konami building (although, later in the day when i return i would find that the building houses their Esports studio and school. I managed to get a Welcome Suica card at the Information Cafe of Tokyo station after a good 10 minutes of looking at the directory. The process of getting the card was simple as the staff was able to communicate in English. After i have gotten the pass, i started to look for Shinkansen ticketing machines. Because i was leaving in a short while, all of the reserved seats are already occupied and there was not much of a choice here. The plus of a non-reserved Shinkansen ticket is that you are free to board the non-reserved cabins anytime, as the ticket lasts for 4 days. I arrived at the platform to mad crowding. The...

 Holy RA it's already near the end of April of 2025. Since the last post i've made a second booking to Japan, been there and returned. The visit this time was less of a rush but at the same time, i spent more time relaxing (idling) in the hotel. Originally i've planned annual visits in October of each year but i kind of felt like going again. So i made a booking towards the end of January. Unfortunately, the timing is not really good this time as the weather was pretty dark and gloomy throughout the trip. The Sun only showed up at the last 2 days of the trip. --- This time, i've visited Shizuoka again for its sushi. Same store. Same taste. I've also went to Enoshima and had "Enoshima Don", a seafood egg rice. I've mistaken "Yurantei" for the "Uomitei" that i wanted to visit. Nonetheless, the food is good. I'll visit someday again. Also, fulfilled my dream of taking the Sunrise Express, visiting Izumo and the famed Izumo Taisha (...

 ...with how tired i was in Japan daily, it was easy to leave out writing. For example, i'm already back in Singapore. Following the previous post, i made my way to Ueno Park, Senso-ji in Asakusa, Shikansen down to Shizuoka and visited Sunpu Castle, took a river cruise around Sumidagawa with Tokyo Cruise and ended a full day trip spending money in Akihabara buying old consoles. I'll think about whether i want to go into the details. The last actual day, Friday 18 Oct, was kind of a waste as i was "kicked out" of the hotel early and spent the day in the Airport instead. The storage was full so i couldn't leave my luggage in the airport and go somewhere else. I also can only check it in only 3 hours before the actual flight. It's a good trip overall, even with all the downtime. I am already looking forward to returning next year. I am also going to go for a Business class seat again next year.
