1st day at work, 1st in dragonboat race and the death of a friend

And thus, it came to be that these 3 events all took place on the same weekend - quite an eventful one it was.

Friday was my first day of attachment at my sponsoring company. Didn't do much on the 1st day, except for chit chatting with collegues and supervisors to aquaint myself with the company. After my safety briefing, I even got a pair of goggles, ear plugs, boots and a matching helmet to go with them^^ WELL, the serious stuff starts tomorrow I am told.. no more slacking around =/

News of the Taiwanese fighter jet crash which killed two SAF soldiers got to my attention that day, but I contented myself with the fact that none of my ex-classmates were serving in Taiwan in this period in time. ( even Babykun came back about a month ago)

Sunday morning was when I got a rude shock when Babykun told me that Isz was one of the unfortunate soldiers who lost their lives. I couldn't bring myself to believe it until Ah Rong showed me his copy of Newpaper which had an article decidated to his demise. Oh boy.

Went for a dragonboat race in the evening under the banner of Teck Ghee CSC. Came in first for our category.

Way tired now, and I have to work till 5.33pm tmr. Time to turn in. Rest in peace Isz. You were marvelous and I'm glad to have known you when you were alive.
