我就住在灰色的屋檐
剩孤單依偎獨自說嘴
我彈奏著傷悲喚醒了魔鬼
在每個黑夜凌虐我的世界

什麼會被消滅 什麼才會復原

this has gotta be one of the most special years in my life yet.

THE HIGHEST CALLING! national service! i remember vividly how we all kinda know our enlistment date on just another mugging day in reading room back in hwach. and how A levels and post-Alevels flew by.

NS taught me quite a fair bit of lessons that i'm pretty sure would aid me in post-ORD life:

#1. camaraderie and the value of friends. they always say the best of friends are those who went through shit together. that says alot about my bmt, service term and proterm mates aint it? like i've mentioned many times this year, there are many people i've met this yr that i really want to be in touch with for the rest of my life.

#2. suck it up! some things just won't go your way, and there really isn't much that you can do about it. LLST!!

#3. you are more capable than you think you are. and there just isn't a definite limit for your mental capacity. stretch them again and again to break that limit. like what my pc and apc told me during social night, once you feel that you have broken that limit, you have already succeeded.

#4. be true to yourself and everyone around you. because if you are not, it will show. nobody likes those who are fake, superficial and patronizing no? too bad there are so many of them amongst us.

#5. KINSHIP! it was only during the time in bmt when i was so homesick that i really pondered about what kinship meant to me. and it dawned upon me that i dont have to see my family everyday just to be close to them. it's about how they all seem to be able to pick up with my life every bookout as though i've been with them just the day before. 

#6. leadership. thanks to OCS, i think it provided me yet another opportunity to manage people, something that i am not unfamiliar with. as i look forward to my appt as a PC, i reflected on what kind of a leader i was back in school and the many aspects that i could have done better. i wont say im 100% ready, but neither would i back out in fear -- because likened to what LTC Loong told us, we are damn bloody ready.

as we commission and move on with our own officership tour, i think this is one year that i will always remember -- the year where i laid my basics, built my network and capabilities upon and the year where i waited and waited and waited and waited and waited.
