I guess this would be useful for a person like me.. i admit though this comes a bit late.. not planning to change my blogskin to something fancyful or wat in the near future.. u can call me a new blogger who dunno anything, i dun care.. u can tell me that everyone is looking at ur comments and laugh and criticise at me, but i dun care either.. unless its something to do with the law..
today went to Vick's house to eat lunch.. as a matter-of-fact, i din gate crash in.. he invited us, as a big group of 2LT as a whole.. except for one LTA.. today was deepavali, and his mom's curry was really good.. have to give it to the indians.. the last time i jumped while slurping curry away was at loke's house.. he invited our course to his house for last year's deepavali.. another indian again.. they are the experts in curry making and even though i can tahan spices, this was a different ball game altogether.. i cant really describe this feeling, but at the end of the whole experience, i can only say that i really enjoyed the meal..
there are some things u cant use words to describe..
played a car racing game on Vick's X-box and everyone was like challenging each other to haf the fastest timing around the same circuit.. think john was the winner.. cant rem that well.. but then, this gathering also reminded me that perhaps there wont be another such gathering in the near future as a course, the one and only 16th mistral officers' course..
it is becoming sadder as the 8 of us are splitting up, because of the service status and our ord date.. abiel and ben liang is already clearing off/leave; vick will be off in dec, but chances r i wont even get to see him again after i fly off for india; john and zi xuan are in ord-ing mood, though those clowns are gonna disappear only at feb; caleb prob land up in aus, ben tan busy making money in spore, me will prob get to realise my golden dream.. we wont meet each other anytime soon, and perhaps 4 or 5 yrs down the road, when we will meet again, we would change.. some have gf, some getting married, some will drive mercedes, and some will prob just remain the same, clowning around..
like all separations, each separation with a bunch of friends leaves a sour taste behind.. something left hanging and we would be left wanting more and constant updates of each other.. soon, the updates gets less frequent and soon you know it, the next time you see the guy who used to sit beside you or run together with you or play together with you would be either his or your funeral..
so perhaps, just enjoy wat i have in front of me.. which i am trying my best to do it..
still, the hardest separation i encountered so far was when my grandfather passed away.. and i din even get to have one final look..
