9 months later..
Alright.. No one is giving birth or what. But 9 months later refers to myself being enlisted for 9 months. Well, pretty much has changed (in certain ways) and I'm here to pen them down so that I can refer back in the future.
9 months. A time that isn't very long nor short. Things are pretty much limited due to the new rule of staying in by the new Chief of Army (as many have heard from me).. Its pretty irritating actually. Now that I can't go out every night to do stuff or meet people. But I guess its also a time for me to get to know the peeps in my camp better. Which I do see an improvement on that.
Having to be in the army for 9 months, I've learnt to look at things at different views at all times. Sometimes you do things and feel that its kinda pointless. But looking at another perspective, well, it kinda makes sense to do it. Not that I'm leaning towards guys being in army, but it does train me to improve on something. Though I still think that making all guys to enlist is a very wrong move. And a waste of time I must emphasize.
Anyways, lately my unit has been busy with stuff and I'm well, pretty stretched out by it. Physically and mentally. But its also a good time for me to enlarge my capacity if I wanna take on more things in future. In a couple of weeks, I'll be going on a course for around 7 weeks. And at the end of it, I'll be ranked 3rd Sergeant. Honestly speaking, it is not something that I really would want to aim for. Due to possible politics issues going around, I'm not very keen in getting the rank as it will mean that I'll be involve in such politics indirectly. With that, I feel that my friends might drift a little away from me since I would be involve in heavier responsibilities. And these responsibilities sometimes meant that I will need "draw line" with the others. Sigh. Not something which a high I would like. :/
Even with all these thoughts going through, I believe its something that is from God and I shall not miss that opportunity given. Trusting in Him that it will be something that will destroy relationships but rather, building stronger ones.
I wanted to type out something regarding the upcoming GE.. but thinking of my current situation, I guess I better not. So I shall skip this portion.. But people (who actually reads this) who wants to hear my view, just drop me a call/sms and we can chill to talk about it! HAHA!
ok.. my brain is kinda stuck on what to write after a SMS came in. So I'll stop here for now.. My BB is dying so I gotta be more careful in using it too.. haha! SIGNING OFF!
