A year in green
Pretty soon, I’ll have spent a year in NS.
I won’t deny, the time’s been nothing short of a great learning experience. The skills, values, and friends I’ve attained since August 05 will go a long way in my life post NS.
Perhaps most importantly, NS allowed me to view both ends of the human spectrum. Good, bad, and ugly, I’ve had the privilege of seeing it all.
My hope now is that I’ve become a better person after this year in green. Someone more responsible, grounded, sensible, and level-headed.
Then again, that’s for you to judge.
Last Burst Liao
Back from Thailand, and the race to the Parade Square has just taken a turn into its final lap.
Just 60-odd days to go and I’ll be heading back to where I feel at home.
God, give me the strength, willpower, self-motivation to push through all that’s left in these remaining days - my guide book project, the exercises, OCCT, and what not.
Let me vindicate the trust and hope that my parents have put in me.
Why?
I’ve never understood the need for critics (food, movies, music, whatever) to use exaggerated and bombastic language in their criticisms. Its as if the less they rate a particular subject, the more purple their writing gets. What’s the purpose of it?
On the surface of things
Funny how people who seem to have it all, can fail to be happy.

I thought about it and…
Mum’s right - I wouldn’t last long if I signed on. Forget about how interesting SF or the US courses would be; the innate rigidity and “wtf” of the Army would ultimately catch up to me.
Mum said: “You’re not the kind to stay on with things for a long time. You need to move around and try new things one”
Guess I can try that.
Home
The hardest part is letting go - not taking part. After so much and so long, I find it hard to believe that I’m clinging onto what are now but scraps of our bright past.
Did I post something like this before? I think I did.
Anyway, back from Brunei and half-way through OCS. Nothing much more going on in this avenue.
i just want to write, report, play hon, eat french toast… get out of this funk. get out of this sudden surge of emotion that is quite unbecoming to be honest.
