I didn't know when i was going to get charged, but i knew it will come one day. And when it came, my heart sank, to a level so low i thot it was nearly impossible for it to come back up again. The first few days of my SOL were the quietest, most lonely days of my life. I didn't talk much, and it didn't matter when all my friends tried to cheer me up. you know, it was like i was in a world of my own, completely detached from the outside world.
Why did i misfire? i keep trying to figure this out. Was i too shagged? It was a tough battle course. Plus i boycotted combat rations all the way. (cos it's mee goreng, and it wasted more like pee.) But a misfire is still a misfire, and the PC didn't care abt all these or whether we both studied in HC before. I sometimes accuse him for being a traitor, cos aft it was him who charged me anyway. But i know im just foolish la.
But this SOL made me realise alot, alot of things.
You can nvr be without a family. Now, future, never. It's the closest thing to you on earth. A family ensures there's always a home, not only to go to, bt look forward to going to. Yes in future, you are going to leave ur family, bt u r going to start ur own one anyway. It provides the warmth and love tt everyone nids. I was realli, realli, realli homesick in camp, and i call my family 2-3 days over the weekends to keep in touch wif them. I suddenly regret spending more time on the comp than wif them during my bkouts. You can nvr be wifout a family, never.
Nxt, nvr cry over spilled milk again. SOL, sol loh. since u got it then u shld just take it like a man. Dina told me during my SOL to "live above army". Nvr do things for army sake realli. Army force you to run 6km, 8km, but u know u benefit frm it and nt army. Army force you to go outfield to train, bt u know by learning all these things u can better protect ur family shld tat time arise. I trained alot during my SOL, keeping going gym, doing my own statics, run like some dog. And i feel it changed me, bcos i don't feel tired or frustrated abt all these trainings anymore. This piece of knowledge allows me to live through these 2 years with more ease.
and i too made new frens during my SOL. Those who got SOL wif me of coruse. trust me im not the only one. :P There's a hell lot more.
and yep, i guess this entry is long enough. will update more when i know wad to write.
