Gone
Yep, that's the title for this post, a post which has been long postponed. A day that I've waited so long, yet with a sense of forborne and fear. I really wanted to post this not because i wanted to update this blog, but rather, this day has held a special meaning to my life: another transition, another crossroad....
Here i am right now, sitting in front of the white screen, my head glistening from beads of sweat and the lack of hair (that's right, I'm botak!) and fingers typing furiously as fatigue begins to crawl into my mind. For the past few days, I've been slowly but surely packing my bag with full of necessary inventory required for the 9 week BMT. From clothes to basic necessities to more clothes, my trusty red bad just sags at the mention of these items. To think that i will recieve much more when i enter tomorrow... The place may be located just a few miles offshore at the east of singapore, but boy, it seems like I'm about to travel to some god-foresaken area far, far away from home, and exposed to the harsh reality of military training. With rigourous training and lack of luxuries within reach, what lies ahead of me may seemed like a nightmare that is waiting for me to be in. The star actor of the show.... Oh boy, how anxious am i, I really cant wait for the transformation of the outcome. 2 weeks ... it really seems endless huh? Well, all these talk and no action, but i guess i'll be facing lots of action in the coming 2 weeks...wait make it 9 weeks... or u can even say 2 years. Well, depending on how you see it, it can seem either like a blessing or a curse. Deep in my heart, i just want to breeze through it all without any troubles or worries, but hey, who says life deals you an easy hand all the time. Of course, with IPPT and the horrors of endless training, i can expect all this to be a huge load in my mind. Well... we shall see... I dunno how long I'll be out of action, but if you are seeing this, u sure won't have to wait as long as the last time! Thus i shall end my post on a note: "Sometimes you don't have to find the road, the road finds you! 5 months since the end of A levels, 2 years to the end of army! ^^ Labels: Gone |
