Think this week will be the last time everyone gather together to play basketball during weekdays. Quite sad because there will be few pple to accompany me to play and go back to school and just chill. The life of an 18 year old male is very predictable. Army makes one lose their freedom, their hair, their IQ, their social life ( friends are disappearing from my life), their dignity (being enslaved in the bases and being bossed ard by superiors with minimal or perhaps zero chance of rejecting the task) and lastly for some, their girlfriends.

It isn't exactly unfair to say that serving the army is unfruitful. I have obtained many attributes from it in a mere 4 months plus. Realised the hardship behind the harsh working society and the regimental heriachial system. A leader has to earn people's respect and not force them to respect u. Ranks doesn't tell u anything about a person's character. It is the way u treat pple of lower rank than u that tells us what kind of person he/she is. Really envy pple who are still schooling in NJ. It's just like many pple would say, we rather retain 2 years in JC than to serve 2 years in army. But well, it's an honour to serve the country with our youth. Hopefully it will really make a difference for me.

Being the youngest in my base, i will ORD almost the latest as well. 14th December 2010 will be the day I'm looking forward too. Time flies now. Soon 2009 will come to a closure and we will set new dreams, relish new hopes, meet new faces and establish new relationships.The questions that lingers in me now is that is there more to life than being stucked into this endless endeavours? However, I think that I wanna make a difference in other pple's life. I do not want to be remembered as a nobody or even being forgotten by pple. I wanna be remembered as a person who has impacted their life.

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
