Time really flies.It is no longer an often used cliche because it feels like i enlisted just yesterday.I got mixed feelings about this.Sad,because many of those am close to are returning back to their normal life.Joyful and relieved,because all are going back to our normal life and resuming where our dreams and goals have left off 2 yrs ago.Many says that going through NS makes you into a better man.I do agree with that,even if i don't really like all that tekaning and shouting and all.
For example,I have learnt to cherish my family alot more than i was before i enlisted.Never have i thought that i would go out for a breakfast with my dad only or sometimes with my mum only.Or even open up my life to my dad and talk about stock market,life and money.As a result,I am starting to become more and more uncle.Craps!!!
I would never manage the time i have in my hands effectively if not for NS.All those short weekends,leaves,offs and deployment time gave me the space to think through about issue close to my heart.From what to do after ORD to reflecting God's goodness in my life as well as BGR issues(that's something i won't elaborate here).Those short free time also gave me the time to be with people who are close to my heart,my CG,sec sch frens,section and platoon mates.It also gave me the time to enrich,empower and sharpen my mind through reading and discussing it with people.
I would never have learnt about the power of focus and resilience,and realising my weakness if i had not been through all the tough times and the failures in these 2 yrs.
Responsibility would have been a chore to me(maybe it still is,albeit to a lesser extent)if i had not been through all the tough situation in these 2 yrs.
The lessons listed are inexhaustible or that I am just plain lazy to write more of it,But i'll carry them through my life.In any case,I can't wait to execute what i had planned and make it happen.
ORD LOH!!!
