Finally got this blog somewhat revived =) Been too busy to keep up with the things that I did when I was allowed back home everyday. This is the 1st post since my army life started. 4months in already ^^. Can't believe how fast time flies. I must thank the SAF for alot of things. The life lessons that I learned while inside. It was indeed a road of self-discovery for me. Will be going back to camp tonight and that will mark the 2nd last week of BSLC already. Ain't it fast. I must say that the adjustment period to this sacrifice that all men must do really made me so lost touch with the outside world in a sense. Miss coming back from school always. Miss taking Edwin's car to school. Miss the carefree days of track trainings with the AJ track team of 07/08. What awaits us in 2011??

2009 seemed to past so fast. It's already the month of August already. When I woke up on Monday, the 1st day of my MC, I saw a very peculiar and familiar desktop calendar lying flat on my study desk, which by now, is full of dust and perhaps cobwebs. The month stopped at March. It made me how involved my life had with been the army that I totally forgot about the front part of 2009 when I was a teacher back at schools. But I guess, it's every Singaporean men's responsibility to defend and protect the place we call home. With National day looming near, I feel a sense of pride. A sense of honour. Call me crazy or whatever, but looking back, I feel quite proud that I have done what I done in the past 4 months for this little island called Singapore.

They say that 2 years will fly past like a blink of an eye. I am still awaiting for the day that I can shake my Unit's CO hand and say that it was an enjoyable and memmorable NS life. Well, I have to keep blinking don't I. Cos it's 1 year and 6 more months.

Random thoughts: As much as we lament about the situation that we are currently in, we can't change the world to suit us. As such, winners are those that can adapt themselves to the situation =)
