3 more weeks before i pass out with the rank of a Private. It's not much, but its still better than being a recruit. Ya. I tink. Anyways, what's with time flying past. Everytime we're doing something, we find ourselves running out of time. Every single day,we find ourselves rushing to wait, waiting to rush. And im not just talking about life in the army. It goes to life everywhere. A few years back, when i graduated from Unity Sec, i was in a daze as sec 1 seemed like only the day before. In just one blink of an eye, i was graduating from an instituition of 4 years. One of the best years of my life. Those of you who are still in school, treasure it. And im not refering to the eduacation part. Im refering to the time you all spend in school whether it's studying or playing or just plain hanging out. Why? COz you dont have to worry about anything at all! Plus, if you did your homework just fine, there really isnt anything to worry about at all! Yeap. The carefree days.
By the end of sec 4, i felt as if i wasted 4 good years of my life by not spending enough time with my schoolmates. Heck, i didnt even had time to reflect on it until i started jc 4 months later. During the time period in between, i worked. I experienced the adult working life. That's when i found out how you're really being treated like a person. I was actually taken seriously by adults and people around me! Ya. That also meant that i had to be serious about my work. But that's besides my point. My point is i decided that im going to fully utilize my time to spend it with my schoolmates. Yeap. I really utilized it alright. ALmost everyday, i reach home after 9. On some training days, i reach home after 10 and on club trg days, midnite! Talking about really enjoying my moment.
Enjoying a moment in life. That's what we soldiers always do. If someone was to give you a 20mins break, you would complain that its too short and all those sort of crap right? Well, we live for the moment. 20mins of rest is heavenly enough for us. Heck, we can do a lot of things withing a period of 20mins. Within 20mins, we would have enough time to shower, change, pack our stuff, chores, read, talk and then move out for our next whatever. Yeap. That's how we spend our 20mins. It only gets better when we book out. If 20mins is heaven, then book out is the heavenly king. How? Well, we have all day to do whatever we want, whenever we want! Ya. But that only lasts for 24 hours. After that, regimentation. So.......we really really really utilize whatever time we have. Living for the moment. We do not care whats going to happen to tomorow. We dont really care about the consequences of our actions. We just do what we like while we still can. YEap. That's y soldiers can be rowdy at times.
Rowdy? huhur. Maybe except for the SAF. I dunnoe y, but they seem to be coming up with all the weird stuff lately. Instead of turning us into lean mean fighting machine, they make us sing all the stupid stuff, henceforth pussifying the army. Well, at least we have our own "haka" which is really following the tune of "we will rock you". lol. Maybe that acts as a counterbalance. But its bullshit nonetheless. Who the heck came out with all these ideas anyway? Stupid bugger.
Yay! Next saturday is college day! YEAH! Going back to get an award. Ya. But that isnt the main point ;) yeap.
