Induction Programme @ NACLI (26 Sep ~ 29 Sep)

It was 7.45am.. I called a cab.. Dragged myself & bag down.. Hopped onto e cab.. NACLI was my destination.. My home for e next 4 days before I 'book out' for e weekend..

8.20am.. There I was standing, along with other stoned-looking people, with their luggages by their side.. I was in shirt, pants and clackers 'coz e previous night, I received a SMS stating that we have to be in office wear for classes and visits.. Looking around me, there were people in 3/4s and jeans. DAMN! Kena cheated..

Anyhows, we moved on to e lecture room.. Started our day with some talks.. Followed by lunch and then visit to CISCO to have our staff pass made.. Cool.. Made some pretty cool friends in that short period of time.. In fact, I bumped into this girl whom I met during e interview and she happens to be my colleague! YEAH!

Our typical day starts with morning exercise (which I fell and injured myself pretty badly on e FIRST morning PT.. *embarrassing*) - breakfast - class - tea break - class - lunch - either class / visit - tea break - activities - dinner - project discussion - jokes & chats at e prata shop outside.. Hhmmm.. How then do I get my ass to the yellow box (which is OUTSIDE e camp) during e day? I don't! Or rather, I can't! So, my status have changed to Night Puffer.. Heeheehee~

Everything there is pretty decent - Cohort mates: Friendly! Energetic! VERY Nice! Fun! Food: So-so only.. Still can be eaten.. Accommodation: Pretty OK with some uninvited guests like ants and lizards.. (Oh! I took a snapshot of my room!)

Yeap! Pretty decent.. 4 to a room.. 3 chinese n 1 indian (yes, i know wat some of u are thinking / why you are even laughing).. e 'unique' individual happens to sleep BESIDE me! (yes yes, laugh louder..) 1 of my room-mate even brought along her security bear - Winnie e Pooh! *faint* Oh, not forgetting that in my room, stayed my 'personal missy' too! Heehee! I got injured, had abrasions here and there.. Cheryl was VERY kind to help me for e past few nights with e cleaning of my wounds as well as dressing it up.. Really GRATEFUL to her! Thanks a million! Hope you like the ZO Card that I plonked into your pocket! *wink* She even helped me take a picture of my injured self..

The days flew passed rather quickly.. Becoming rather used to e routine of sleeping at 12plus (after my little chat with Garfield) and waking up at 7am.. Good training for me.. Kekeke! And with that walking around e campus, I feel healthier too! Hahaha! Never have I climbed so many stairs in my entire life, especially when I injured my kneecap!

Friday came at last and all were raring to go! Hahahaha!! We were released for the weekend and scheduled to report back at NACLI on Monday @ 0830hrs for another 5 days 4 nights stay with a presentation to our big big head on Thursday together with LOADS of fun such as outdoor cooking and our farewell dinner!! Woohoo~
