National Day

The 9th of August. Haha. its national day. Feels good to be home for the holiday. back to camp tommorrow though. Sian. But will be out again on Friday. That's good. Real good. Slack week this week so i'm not really complaining. This time next week, i'll almost be a sergeant. Time has passed real fast. Soon i'll be a section commander leadin gmy own group of men, who hopefully will fight and die for me, that being what i'll be willing to do for them. I'll give my all wherever i go, whether i like the posting or not. Its a case of lan lan suck thumb. The worse things get, the harder i have to suck but who cares? $660 a month, the freeedom to do whatever i want to do, to an extent, and to lead the life of a specialist. 30-plus weeks of hard work comes down to this 1 last week. Training is going to continue being tough, but i'm willing to eat the shit. Just 1 week plus left. Better take care of myself and not get injured or do anything stupid. I heard a rumor on the grapevine that i'm a contender for the best trainee. I don't subscribe to it, but i'll continue to give my best whether i get it or not.
The last parade in the national stadium. The place brings back fond memories. National day parades, SYF, National trck and field meet, especially the one when i was in J1, standing in the rain with her for the whole afternoon, cheering the team from CJ on. Especially that memory. Sigh. Now the place is going to be torn down, and where will all my memories go?
Have been having these weird dreams about a certain someone recently. Is it a sign?
