Got a new hobby: Shogi! Also known as japanese chess. So far I've learnt all the piece movements, and gotten used to the drop system, and finally I've beaten the comp once in it. Whee when I go to Japan I'll get myself a set.
Ok so updates on my previous week in camp. Range was on tuesday, and I shot a respectable 24 out of 36. Had to redo a few times to get the score though hahaa. If only I could use a SAR instead. Then it'd be a lot easier. But had lots of fun mingling with the newly graduated UIP initiates. They're all really nice people.
Everyone got a soapy bath during the weekend, cos it was the ORD peeps last duty, and we started off by filling buckets with cold water + soap and then pouring it on them. Then of course everyone got it, even the newbies going through their first duty. Of course since I was the nice guy they removed everything I was carrying from my hands (my phone and jap book) and then proceeded. Not everyone was that fortunate haha. So at the end of it all we had a very very clean toilet.
Read Suzuka during the weekend, which was a really nice manga IMO. Watched the Chelsea vs Liverpool match on justin.tv. Trained Bane Elemental. To round it off, finished my class 3 weapon collection on MH.
The bad thing about that week was that even though it was Deepavali we had quite a bit of work to do: set up the vehicles and get the virus definitions. (which was the computer IC's job = me) But having nakama beside you really helps. Too bad I didn't get to dota at least once cos I was busy.
My senpais are back from driving course, which means I'll finally get to slack a bit off my job, cos one of them is a computer IC as well. This coming week I'll ask them more about the driving course so that I don't get a culture shock. I think the only tough thing about driving is the instructor's insults and stuff like that. At least thats what I've heard. Soon I'll be a signal driver and get my own set of drivers shades! Cool huh.
See ya in a fortnight's time!
