First public holiday in my NSF life!

Since I first enlisted in end-Jan, there was only 1 public holiday, which was Good Friday. But that day did not feel very special, since it was somewhere in my long 7-week Att C period.

Now that I'm back in action serving my 2 years, Labour Day is actually the first public holiday that I get to enjoy, since it's time away from SAF. And Vesak day is actually just round the corner, so this period of time does feel like a lull period, where there is little motivation in just 'chionging' all the work.

However, after Vesak Day, the next public holiday is National Day, almost 3 whole months away! That's nearly 3 months of no breaks from work (apart from weekends of course), which is such a contrast to school, whereby the longest period of schooling is about 10 weeks! While I may have 13 days of leave available for me to use, I do intend to use them only in Nov-Dec, where I have some activities planned for that period, like volunteering in StanChart Marathon Singapore 2012 and participating in Swissotel Vertical Marathon 2012.

Of course that is only possible if my BMT recourse does not fall within that period! Right now, there seems to be a few possibilities for my BMT recourse dates:

• BMT batch that POP on Oct 12
• BMT batch that POP on Jan 13
• BMT batch that POP on Apr 13
• BMT batch that POP on Jul 13
• BMT batch that POP on Oct 13

I'm hoping that my BMT recourse would be the batch that POP on Apr 13 or later, so that I can take part in the activities listed above ...
