Void of direction

I wonder if it's time to shed my cynical paradigm for something glittering with optimism. Survey course started last week, and we had to change camp. Basically, it was surprisingly relaxing. We almost never had to clean the bunk, most of the admin time were spent snoozing. There were afternoons where we literally had afternoon naps. PT was almost nonexistent except a few runs here and there. Mainly we had lectures, on basically navigation. The most intriguing thing was that there was actually tests after each lecture and the tests actually does involve maths and map reading. (ouch. painful nostalgia from old school geography days waves past). Navigation was pretty fun, but doing it on foot sometimes can be a pain in the groin (literally) because it somehow takes 10+++ km ideally from point to point assuming you don't get lost. Getting lost is a scary thing because everything around you looks the same. I have to be mentally prepared for more navigation exercises.

Wednesday I had my nights out virginity broken. We actually went to Jurong point for the night. Coffee bean coffee cheesecake! I can't wait for next Wednesday to go there again. I've always thought of nights out as something lame, something non-practical. But now I realize that it's so refreshing!
