At last..
It's the 29th of May.. 1 day before ORD. Been waiting for a looong time. I could vividly recall my days in BMT, when I was still instilled with the 'garang mentality'.. and ORD seemed so far from then. Next at Jurong camp.. probably the most miserable days of my life when I first stepped into 30SCE as a field pioneer. It was the lifestyle of a prisoner, tho only 5 weeks, it seemed like months. Thankfully I managed to get posted out due to some 'help'.. and since then, it's been a long journey full of ups and downs to where I am now.
My relatives have been saying recently, "wah, ORD so soon ar? 2 years in army, fast huh?" It was fast looking back, it was painstakingly slow serving it but more importantly, it's over. Some things I won't forget tho.. especially the bad experiences. So this is a big "FUCK YOU!" to you, 2WO Hoo Kap Yoong, like I promised a year back.. "Fist yourself to hell!"
Gonna enter another phase of life which is worrying me. Just received the admission form to Monash, and I'll most probably stick with it, despite having UWA, ANU and UNSW to consider. Yuan Hwa's one of the reason tho, as I hope with him being there, I wouldn't take too long to settle down, and more importantly, not risk mixing with the wrong company. So there Yh, you asked me over.. stay the studious person you've always been, and don't start on weed and hookers while you're there. (At least wait for me! lol)
Studying abroad's gonna take a lot away from me.. the things that I hold so close to me - my family, my friends.. all the comfort that I've had over these years. I hope it's the right choice and I won't live to regret the sacrifices made. One thing the recent loss of my grandmother made me think about (again).. would be that nothing in life is forever, no one is gonna wait. The first tears I shed wasn't due to the fact that she passed away, but because I realised that one day, I'll be in my dad's position, and either of my parents will be on that bed. Will I be able to face reality then? Similarly, the day will come too when I lose my friends. I'm gonna dread that day.. and right now I seem to be bringing it forward with my decisions. Oh well, I probably still have another 8 to 10 months in Singapore.. so I'd better enjoy it while I can.
