As far as class gatherings go, 6 is on the small side in terms of size. Yet it certainly doesn't preclude any of its entertainment value. Tonight was a prime example that all you really need is a Wii to make things better. Joash, Chun Wui, Mong, Jim, Patrick and I have probably had our fill of Raving Rabbids for a while. What was unfortunate was that the people whom this gathering was meant for weren't there. 

I also paid my first visit to Holland Village in a very long while, another sure sign that I'm no longer in school. For all intents and purposes, it was my second school; it was the place I frequented on an unhealthily regular basis, on some weeks 6 out of 7 days. Dinner at Crystal Jade Kitchen was a nice throwback to a time that, frankly, hasn't been that long ago but feels like it is. 

The date on which I enter NS precludes any thoughts of mastering the Highway Code, as any preliminary efforts now would need to be revisited once I'm out and have the luxury of an extended period of time to get a license. That might take a little longer that expected, if I should be so fortunate as to get to study next October. 

Hence the question that is begged - would I have been better off in the April intake rather than the January batch? Though an academic question, I know some would have strong preferences for one or the other. I'm entirely indifferent, and since I know there's no use thinking about what I could gain from April, January does appear to be optimum; the larger proportion of us are on the 6th to 9th, and if plans to study fall through, it means a quick end to 22 months.

There will be no shortage of cameras during Philippines. In all probability, we might end up having a shortage of memory space. The other thing high on our collective agenda besides photo opportunities is the availability of shows. I know I said I would start following again once I found the time; this would be the perfect chance to get all the episodes I want without the hassle of computer files.
