I remember back when i was Secondary Three when I was arguing with my mum in the middle of the night on why I could not chill out with my friends, why I am always bounded with curfews, why do I always have to stay home and not go out and comparing with some of my friends that could enjoy so much freedom at that point of time. All in all, I could only remember one thing that she said "You will thank me for bringing you up when you grow older" and I really didn't believe I would say that.
6 years now, I haven't tell her this, nor I plan to. I don't know how to say this now, as I'm typing this, I'm trying to find the words to say what I feel. To make it really simple...
Thank you, mum.

I have always wanted to start blogging again but I just could not find the right time. Right time you may ask? For me, it's all about the the feeling, the urge and the anxiety that needs to be shared. These past four months had been a blast.
From my very own 21st birthday, from Commissioned as a Officer, posted to Maju Camp and reposted to Pasir Laba Camp, meeting many new people of all ages, celebrating friends' birthdays that I watched them grow since they were teenagers and getting thrown into situations that you have no knowledge or background in, just to name a few. And it all boils down to one value that I have learned from these four months.
The ability to adapt.
I don't know about the readers who are reading this but I feel that the Army has changed me. Really, if you feel so, tell me. People in this world are very selfish in terms of positive criticism or praises, don't let them be you. These are the things that make one grow or feel a sense of achievement but still, we are all selfish. I admit, I'm selfish but I'm learning to give praises and comments on the go, of course, trying to put it in a good manner.

And I'm tired. I need a getaway for a few days. 9 days of leave and I'm thinking to go on a holiday with that or stay home and sleep. Heh.
What about now?
