Foreword


The countdown has begun. My flight to Zurich is at 2am on the 11 February, which is about 10 days from now. I would like to use this blog to document my last ten days in Singapore prior to leaving and hopefully my trip over there as well.

I have quite a few loose ends to tie up as of last week, like my toastmasters account, my forex account, my bike, among other things. But, I have systematically cleared them and I am down to only a few more, such as my deferment from upcoming ICT on the 25 June 2010.

Today is a Saturday, I have decided to spend it uneventfully at home to iron out some issues like teaching my sister how to skype video call me so I my family can see me when I am over there, emailing mindef, booking my IPPT (apparently I should at least attempt before going according to some protocol), getting my sub cards for emergency use.

My packing is more or less done, I m still severely under utilizing my weight limit, out of 30kg I am only using less then 20kg. It seems I need to get myself a bigger luggage.

I think I need to get a web cam for my family, because when I get over there, they can see me and I can’t see them. Would I want to see them? I really do not know, but I am the type to preempt problems so I will get one and set it up before I leave.

The Ten days coming up looks to be busy as hell with my SIM club visit to evaluate Calvin and my farewell gatherings. But oh wells, it’s just another week for me.
