being in a jungle has indeed opened my eyes once again to how blessed everyone is living back home, in comfort and how life is so awesome when you're not in the SAF.

been having a nagging at the back of my head to start writing my book but haven't really found the inspiration or time to, i wonder when i will.

anyway, i've compiled a list of stuff i would like to do back in Singapore while i was having my last exercise over there. written in marker pen over my map and sealed in a ziplock bag, it was religiously copied out onto my trusty black notebook.

past 2 days have been nothing short of awesome, JB trip with harn, 2 great massages, aliens&cowboys and overall really jaw-dropping great food.

i've grown. both physically and mentally. i've learnt to look at life with a wider perspective now, material wealth and well-being aren't as important to me now. i'd like a simple and meaningful life.

call me selfish, but i'd like to live happy. and happiness is all that matters at this point of time.

cause im leaving on a jet plane, 3 weeks and i'll be back again.

thanks for the memories.

past 4 days have been nothing short of awesome. i seem to have space-bar problems. heh.

until then, seeyou!

the greatest irony happened today.

just exactly a week ago, a cat freaked the hell out of me through a sick and dumb prank that some bravo seniors played on me when i was on duty.

today, i saved the life of a kitten.

to cut a long story short, i feel life is throwing me lessons. and you know life's imperfect.

i no longer can laugh at depression, nor can i forget the passing of a fellow student, a friend and a soldier. though we may not have been close friends, your abrupt departure has been an awful shock and i pray your soul rests in peace, junsheng.

this week has been a whirlwind of emotions. the last time i was so broken was 5 years ago, and i cannot believe just a month into my command tour at 4SIR that i'd have to undergo such intense shit that the tears just flowed without control.

it was fucked up.

i'd elaborate more. maybe in the near future. maybe soon i'll be able to write my own book.
