This morning I skipped breakfast. Came back to the bunk to rest & prepare for the parade. But we need not have worried. It wasn't much of a parade. Coming to attention for the arrival of the Leftenent-colonel, standing at ease for the speech, coming to attention for his departure and than marching off for lessons. The lessons, as usual were boring & slow. Decided to skip lunch to slack in the bunk. Wasted much of the afternoon in the lab setting up the network for the new training hub. We were being taken advantage of as cheap labour.

Had an interview with ma'am yesterday and she described my overall performance as average. She said that my grades were no issue because I easily made top 10. And I had done well in achieving gold standard for my IPPT. But she added that I wasn't standing out. Not taking initiative other than coming out to joke once in a while. Someone who's not a back-bencher but instead one who has potential.

So anyway, I took the platoon for a progressive run before dinner and I think she was keeping an eye on me. The run didn't go off very well. Firstly, the platoon was in quite a playful mood so we did lots of push-ups along the run. Then, Calvin got his foot stuck in between the drain covers on the road. Almost had the whole platoon tumble over him. Near the end of the run, Vincent decided to take a dive into the asphalt while we were all sprinting the last stretch. He was racing with Suresh and tripped himself, doing a 2m body slide which took off chunks from his hand and knee. It didn't look too pretty when he got up. He had to be evacuated to Tengah Airbase Medical Center for treatment. Capped off an otherwise uneventful day.
