i lie my head in between the sky and bed

Gosh. It’s been the like 5th or 6th time this week that I am down with the flu. Luckily there was nothing much to do today. Otherwise, it would have been total GG for combat clerk leong.

Things have been slowly grinding back into their old usual routine. Really, I find it dreadful to drag myself all the way to camp every morning, despite being conferred the privilege of staying out. Though sleeping on your bed at home sounds really good, it’s only a brief respite from your grinding daily work.

Guess that my designation now is more of a project kinda guy, handling all the miscellanous stuff that gets sent our way. Doing filming right now ( which is something I really wanted to learn back in my ‘creative’ and ‘hobby-ful’ days ), which is quite interesting in a sense since I’m considered one of the “experts” ( a very dubious but oft-used term here in the Army ) where I am.

I shouldn’t  focus too much on the really mundane, thus I shall teach upon my latest hobby, of which I take immense pride in. I present to you……. READING ! I love reading nowadays. I’ve been diving into Asimov’s Anthology nearly every night now, and I try to creep in a short story or two when I’m travelling to and fro my camp. It’s very entertaining, often narrated in that dark, cyber-punk thing that really attracts me in fiction. Some stories are really good, such as Robot Dreams and The Happy Man by Jonathan Lethem ( which was published in Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine back in its heyday of the 60s to 70s ). Really enjoyable reads and I strongly urge fellow bookworms to grab a copy of Asimov’s collected works from your nearest fine repository of books ( aka the hallowed LIBRARY ).

Alas, it’s time to consume my dinner and eat my horrible medicine. Damn the horrible medicine. At least, it’s the last week already.
