so im in infantry - the queen of the battle field. was rather apprehensive about it initially but after spending one week in pro term, looks like it actually is quite fulfilling. well, for one i know i'll definitely commission with pride as an infantry officer. but the road ahead seems so bleak, mysterious. i dont think fear is the right word to describe how i feel about what's ahead right now. cant find the right word because i just want to avoid thinking about it, especially over a long awaited book out.

just got the ib reunion invitation and wow, its actually been almost 7 months into this whole new year. well i guess its not so new anymore. but really doesnt seem that long though. cliche - time flies! its been 5 months since enlisting into the military. i cant believe i've survived that long goodness.

guitar orchestra just had their festival of arts yesterday. extremely disappointed that i couldnt make it but im glad they performed well, at least i heard they did. its been a year since my exco stepped down and handed the orchestra over to the juniors. looks like they did the same thing just yesterday. and looking back, im sure they've come a long long way and im definitely very proud of them. its really nostalgic seeing your juniors graduate and move on. really feels as though they're your kids. and you watch them grow and develop, then they reach the stage where they understand exactly how you felt when you were in their position. heart warming.

its hard to believe how much i detested guitar orchestra during my secondary school days. i dreaded practices and got reprimanded time and time again for being a serial ponner. guess it really grew on me.. and it became something that i feel so attached to. really never expected myself to be saying this 6 years down the road since i joined guitar.

on a separate note, most of my peers are moving on to uni life. emphasis on the word moving on. they're opening a new chapter of their lives, with new things to learn and different social standards! for one, everyone seems to be getting hitched. or at least look like they're about to. then you realise the happy innocence of childish goals and endeavors are no more. its not so much about i wanna slack, oh crap there's homework due tomorrow, sian let's go play frisbee, eh pon lecture la. its a whole new dimension, something us army guys cannot fantom. not yet. i wouldnt say we're left behind because that's too strong a statement. but i do know that when we meet up with the girls, we're gonna have to try our best to understand their lives, as they do for our boring army stories. but that's life, that's part of growing up.

so there, pensive post, lots to think about. i think as you get older, you tend to look back and reflect about things a lot more. looking forward to reunion though, im missing my classmates! and whoever else i used to see everyday along the classroom corridors!
