TGIF

Thank God It's Friday.
It's really a rest to a hectic week.
Went to meet OC, Soo Hui and Jason.
The legit command team.
With me the only NSF.
Hahahaha.
Feels weird that they are always talking about army stuffs and I'm just there like hmm hmm.
But it was okay.
Like really.
Made me feel like I'm back into service again.
When they talk about Annual Combat Shoot (ACS), I realised I haven't touch a SAR21 for quite some time.
And talking about army all over again, makes me compare Army with Uni life all over again.
Uni life and Army life is SO DIFFERENT.
The kind of social life you engage in is totally different.
In army, you have superiors, you have subordinates and you have your peers.
And more importantly you have responsibility.
In addition, you have the authority and power of changing people.
But in Uni, everyone's just like leading their own life and mingling with people that you probably don't see their true colour unless you mingle with them long enough.
But in army, just one outfield and you know whether that person cares for you.
That's the difference that I'm still trying to get used to.
Because in Uni, everyone feels like they have a mask on.
And that this mask will probably be with them all the way until they graduate.
I know this is biased point of view since I'm just a freshie and school has only started for three weeks.
But my take away from this three weeks is what I've mentioned above.
Talking to OC just now on the cab sparked my thoughts of signing on again.
As I think back on my PC tour in 3 guards, it was really a very enjoyable one.
I miss my men.
Because they always gives me trouble and also makes me smile.
These are real emotions.
Smiles are real.
Everything is real.
So I think back on that time when I was smoking with Ming Kang at the HQ smoking corner.
He told me how he felt that uni friends are fun but not real.
It's so true now come to think about it.
And I remember him saying that he would feel honoured if 4 years down the road, I still remember the moment when we were talking at the smoking corner.
Things are moving in such a fast pace now as compared to when I'm back in army.
3 weeks felt like 3 months in army.
Time pass so quickly.
In a blink of an eye, the next week will be the one month I've been in NUS.
So far, I guess things are okay.
NUS Climbing Team has proven to be the only group of friends that I'll hang out with.
But in time to come, I feel like I'm going to be attached to NUS Climbing Team.
Hopefully this will maintain.
Because I feel like I need a sense of belonging somewhere if not I'm just going to be a loner.
Anyway all these words that I've just typed are under the effects of alcohol.
So ya, just filter our whatever you don't feel like reading.
Filter our whatever that you feel like it's just me typing drunk words.
But in all honesty, I'm always very glad to meet up with my 1.1, 1.2, and 1.9.
They have been a constant inspiration for me.
Partly cause all of them are so much elder than me.
Soo Hui and Jason born in 1989 while my OC is born in 1985 hahaha.
Feels good to meet up and I hope we'll meet up real soon.
LANTERN FESTIVAL!.
<3 p="">Thanks OC for paying for the cab!
And for the small talks we had in the cab.
See you all readers!
