Work-in-Progress – Part 2

Posted on    by

It’s the Holiday Weekend! Though a good part of it was spent back at a camp on Saturday morning completing what should be – absolutely – the last of my Individual Physical Proficiency Tests for what should also be my last in-camp training stint. Believe it or not; at 39 years 12 months, I’m the oldest person in my Company in this call-up! And there’s been no end to jokes and friendly-ribbing from my unit mates this time since my name’s the first first in any nominal-roll print out and there’s no hiding the fact that I’m a very old soldier. =)

We had another one of our cheap thrill visits to see our new work-in-progress place. This time heading to the 12th story of Block 142 to see how the construction’s going on.

A very different view. And we got a good look inside our specific unit even from this vantage point. It's the leftmost block in this picture, and counting the fifth level up (or the fourth balcony).

We were actually surprised at how close some of The Minton's blocks were to the HDB areas. Our block is still alright since it's sandwiched between two blocks, but the brochures certainly didn't highlight this fact.

Hannah looking uncharacteristically sombre, but she's been singing a lot lately - all songs taught to her at her playgroup.=)
