splitter: a multidimensional unidirectional roadtrip

with reference to the previous entry, i realised (to my utter horror and annoyance) that i only managed to accomplish no.2, 3, 4 and 5. ironically, no.1 and 6 were no-gos, no.7 was an abrupt affair of milk tea, chicken cutlet in a dilapidated vacated concrete dwelling. extremely frustrating.

well, at least im back safe and sound, considering the scare and everything that had to do with the tragic accident.

now a little picture in between words. shitload of words.



its been two friggin long weeks and everyday was either a disaster or a flurry of 'interesting' events and i can't exactly say i was happy for longer than 2 hours during the whole trip. but still i had my moments of laughters and fun. not to forget despondence, depression and exhaustion.

im not suppose to reveal too much about my trip (all the saf secrecy watnot), but i can say i covered approximately 100 km of undulating terrain, navigated a riverbed in the wee hours of the morning, climbed a friggin breath-taking mountain, ran with about 20 plus kilos on me, mastered voice procedure etc. aiya. too much to crap about and seriously no one's gonna understand no matter how much i talk here so... i'll stop here.

moreover, glacius is history. the iceberg's grown static and initially i was extremely affected but the 10days of outfield made life a little easier, in the strangest sense of that thought. glacius. haiz.

and the weirdest feeling in the world is probably to receive 2 sms-es right smack in the middle of a close-in recce mission telling me that i've got accepted into SMU and NUS. dbl degree. ummm. i'm glad that everything went through. im just glad.

on a separate note, there's also all the RnR that made all of us appreciate one another, considering that most will eventually be posted out to different units. but no doubt, it was fun while it lasted.















cliquesters.


three!

its a strange thing-y. but its feeling just like bmt all over again, just like how field camp and sit test bonded section 2 together. we all grew so close then. i hate to be cynical, but people always leave. both intentionally and unintentionally. its an emotional conflict, as we all battle within ourselves for time to stop so that we all could have fun all our lives, but yet concurrently, we all know that we need to fast forward everything to get ourselves out of this shithole.

its incredible to say this, but this trip gave me insight, perspective and a whole lot of time to be ponderous. in addition mental fortitude, physical capabilities and the short amount of time i had with the snowflake.

im grateful. but im not doing it again.
