Senior Prom 2002

Ah... good ol' times in high school. Its already been 4 yrs (and 28kgs lighter).
I feel so old!
Most of my friends I graduated with in high school have moved on to work/post grad degrees while I'm still in my freshman year. Do I regret having to go thru the army?
No.
I think if anything, the army has made me what I am right now. Not just the (obvious) physical part of it, but also the mental strength that was inculcated in all their programs. It is not to say that my tenure in the army was smooth sailing and picture perfect. If that was the case, I would have learned nothing about myself, my limits, my shortcomings, my failures and my weaknesses.
Only when one recognizes he is fallible, can he gain strength, and persevere on.

To tell u the truth. I really do miss my army days.
The screaming, yelling, quiet moments in the middle of the Brunei;
The pressure, the anxiety, the failures, the fuck ups, and the sheer joy of satisfaction in our accomplishments;
The bastard sergeants, the saboh king, the chau kengs, and all the other brothers in arms standing up for you just because;

I really do wanna go back to those days.
But the days are over, and there's only ahead to look forward to.
