Silly Breathing.

Slight relief today. Managed to get one of the payments that I've been expected and I managed to get part of a debt payed off and managed to enjoy an evening without worrying about how to get a free ride for dinner. It's nice to be able to breath a little and I can actually get things done without having to worry about how the heck I am going to pay bills.

Managed to get absolutely soaked today in the rain. Went to Khatib Camp to see the MO to update him on my medical treatments. Seems that I can't get further downgraded and am supposed to head for ICT next week and talk to my BC/CO about getting a new vocation. My pes status apparently allows the unit to deploy me in the field but I have been excused from carrying heavy loads permenantly - something is not quite right here - I'm a 155 gunner - a vocation that involves carrying heavy loads ALL the Time. MO understands the sillyness of the situation but seems his hands are tied. I think this is what you get when you give the paper crunchers too much power.

Will be catching up with Meshari from SAGIA on Friday. Was supposed to catch up today but ended up getting stuck in the rain. Would be good to catch-up with him.

Need to consolidate the interviews for GECF next week. Radio and Straits Times will be interviewing the big man next week and hopefully I shall be able to get a few more interviews and news coverage for them. GE is THE World Class company - and Finance is probably one of the most intreaguing industries. If I can do well for them....it could make a difference to how things move on the months to come.

Had an event for Alcon this morning. We're now working with Dr Gerard Chuah, another Snob Press Cover Boy. He seems to like his bow-ties and has managed to get his picture taken with a few local celebrities (decorations - in Singapore the real celebrities or the ones that count are...politicians). Anyway, the main thing is that Gerard has done quite a bit of good for people who have had problems with their eye sight.

Since I've started working with Alcon, I've had the privillege of learning more about eye sight. I've talked to dedicated opthalomologist. These guys are Singapore's top class doctors, who can compete with the best the world has to offer and they're exceedingly well rewarded. Having said that, they do something quite valuable - they help people to see and I think that's quite a God Given Mission.

It's now late and so I shall retire - sleep beckons I shall enjoy it .....
