Here's a visual test. What do you see in this picture?



Ten fingers?

A cute girl?

Nice demonstration of shallow depth of field?

I see my number of days to ORD. Share this visual test with your soon-to-ORD-buddies today, my ORD buddies!

I can finally say this to some people: I have less hours to ORD than you have days!
15 days to ORD. The funny thing is I dreamt that I ORDed one night last week. I woke up feeling so happy before I realised it was a dream.

Not that it really mattered how long more I had. I barely go back to camp these days.
But life is really really very boring. I got so bored one day that I went to the library and borrowed a book based on a recommended reading list.

The book is titled 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'. It was written by a Spanish author in 1967. The book was a critically acclaimed title back when it was recently published. It depicted the life of the Buendía family over 7 generations. The story is mainly descriptive in nature, rather than narrative. It is interesting to read a book written in this manner, with no distinct storyline. The flow in the story was simply time, and everything that happened with regards to the family for 7 generations. To me, it was some insight to literature works of the 1960s. The entire story, locations, and characters are fictional but the way it was written, you would feel that the settings of the story truly existed. If you can cope with something like a 422-page long descriptive work, the author's name is Gabriel García Márquez.

I am moving on to another book now: 'Go Tell It on the Mountain' by Billy Baldwin.

Anyway I did an MRI scan of my back recently. Whoa. I didn't expect that I would be able to see my spine so clearly. I was able to finally see what the doctors were seeing on a translucent X-ray film of my bones. I wonder how they managed to see my condition just based on that mess of translucent shadows!
I don't know how my condition is currently classified though. Will have to wait till a March consultation before I find out. Oh well. It doesn't look that wonderful to me though. Gotta work on that physiotherapy. And I still have reservist!!! How outrageous! But its ok.. as long as I get posted back to the same unit as everyone else. I hope.
