It's 18:54.
I am at the cyber lounge of my camp jotting down the diary of my day today.
Just yesterday, I booked in to the camp. It was great. I was welcomed by my mates and sharing what I've got was wonderful. Also, being able to refreshen myself to my bunk mates were some of the greatest positive things about my first leave.
As the morning bell rang at 7:00, I couldn't get used to it that I woke up pretty late. We got ourselves equipped and got down to the assembly. Lucky me, that we did not have any runnings today.
It was the normal sluggish Saturday morning. Had our early breakfast and lied down finishing watching the movie that I watched on my own. It was 'How to get dumped in 10days'.
Two of my bunk mates were out for their visits from their girlfriends and I was the only one awake in the bunk.
I kept doze off during the movie but I managed to finish it. We had our lunch after that and I prepared myself for my duty at 14:00. The guy I partnered with for my duty today was Corporal who stayed in USA, Australia and Britain for 11 years. How amazing is that! He stayed in all countries that speak English with all different accents. He had this British accent that I used to hear from Harry Potter movies and 'The Inbetweeners'! It was amazing to hear that sexy British accent. Hoped I could get one of them someday.
After an hour and a half of our duty, we ran out of topics to talk about and I was already worried for my duty tomorrow. My morning duty tomorrow was also with him. Duty can get pretty boring if you do not have a topic to talk about.
That slow 30minutes passed and we got back to our camp. When I got back my bunk mates were watching Interstellar. These relaxing weekends is what I like the most about the army.
Those two who went out for visits came back. And you know. As usual, my inner thoughts of him rose up again. I do not have to do that and like for indeed I am not hurt or what but my inner feelings just tend to care. Care. I hope prayers would work. And you know, 2017 is coming in just about five hours. 2016 have passed just like this. Spent 8months in Singapore doing my semester 2 and 3. Meeting people, playing lots of football going through many difficulties... Enlisted in army which I did not have serious thoughts about it. Took some time to get used to the culture and now looking at myself, I would never wanna go back to the times that I did not enlist. Every single day is a long time in army. It's not to say that army is driving me crazy but is for sure that we all are not being comfortable in here than anywhere else. Of course, making myself to be comfortable in such environment are also skills that I should adopt.
2017 will come in about five hours or so. What I would be thankful for 2016 would be that I was able to take my next step right after the army. Just twelve days after my final exams in College, I was enlisted in Korea. Which also meant that I will be able to get my ORD sooner. Also, I am so thankful for those people I met in my Nasum Football club who helped me not just for football but for my life in Singapore. Things can get pretty tough for a young foreign man at times and they helped me up to an extent that I could rise up again. If it wasn't for them I do not see where I will be at. Also, thankful for the three friends that I became the closest with in College. Although I had this reluctant mind to make any other relationship with others due to having them, it was never a bad thing. Having them was so wonderful. Carrying on my relationship with my high school friends were what made me carry on too. Meeting them is more special than any other meet-ups. I just do have that special feelings for my JC friends. I got my job and lost them at the same time but those were experiences that I would not forget. They were worthy. Also, girl problems rose up as one girl was a big fan of me and hmm I am not sure I am proud of the way I dealt with her but yeah I can say I do not regret for doing so. I mean I still see no other way I could have brought that relationship with her. Months passed and enlisted and although I am still learning in here I learned a lot of stuff. That's what I look forward to in 2017. It's not just about a year being closer to my ORD date. It's more about what I can learn in here. To love all. That's just what I want in here.
Was a great 2016, and will do all to make that learning 2017. Thank Lord for all.
May 2017 be a year that I learn and make people happy. Please bless my family too.
Became more like a prayer so will end with an
Amen.
