Won't Go Home Without You

So another 3 months have flew by. Next week, if all goes well I am going to receive my senior bar atop Elephant Hill and move on to whichever vocation in professional term.

Army, more specifically, Bravo Wing, has been a changing experience so far. Changed many bad habits, eradicated most of my sloth, rearranged my attitudes and realigned my mindsets. Got to know who is really important to me, who I should dedicate my time to, and who I shouldn't.

I won't say its been a super tough 3 months, but it has been tough enough, especially at the start, when I wasn't in the best state both mentally and physically. Luckily, things changed somehow, after Exercise Centipede and I became a better cadet, person and hopefully a better friend to the people around me. 

Time seems to fly by so fast, albeit only in retrospect. Social night is tomorrow, something I'm quite excited about, even though I won't perform anymore due to my illness, and next Wednesday 79/10 OCC's service term will draw to a close. I've watched people come and go, be it for their medicine studies, or leave due to injuries, and more recently my buddy since CLM depart for his studies after having a successful appeal.

On the other hand, we've had so many Exercises where we tested our skills, and we ourselves were put to the test, so much so that service term seems like a power packed compilation of events that we would do well to chronicle instead of strike off and forget. Exercise Scorpion King and Exercise Rhino still serves as the best memories of service term, one in terms of our combined effort, the other in terms of our capabilities put to the test in actual live firepower, one where we excelled.

Now we are going to part.

It reminds me that life is full of hellos and goodbyes. The most pertinent thought about such happening is that the imprint we leave behind is the same story that gets written down as well.

I've got a couple of favourite songs these days. The title is one of them, and its really quite a very nice song in its blend of sadness and hope.

Till then:)
