Well, I guess that's it......I can't run and I can't hide....You can't stop the continual spinning of the clock and the perpetual progress of time....I'll be officially enlisted tomorrow. So this shall be my last post until either 19th or 23rd of January when I can officially book out of camp.

Well....as the saying goes 'Tomorrow's a mystery'....I should supposedly be filled with either anticipation or apprehension, but somehow I'm feeling neither right now...Wonder how I could be feeling so indifferent about it...I don't know, it does feels like going back to school...waking up when the moon is still up, go report before certain time, have lunch at certain time etc. The differences is that the hours are longer and that the only subject that I'll be having is PE, both practical and theory and there shall only be conditioning and no games. Plus I'll be staying at the 'institution' itself too.....wahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Just because of tomorrow, my mom has been so uptight about it lately...bringing me to 2 temples to pray and wishing me safety for the rest of 2 years.....and giving me constant reminders of 'Don't turn around when someone calls your name in the middle of the night, just keep walking forward.'

And I was like 'Crazy, if my officer call me how??? Also keep walking straight is it?? Walk straight till the detention area right??' Well, that's my mom, she just never thinks sometime.......sigh.....

But I guess the prayers did work, at least Funan is going tomorrow too.....Do hope that I'll be in the same platoon with someone I know too, some form of accompaniment.....Then I wouldn't be in a dorm filled with strangers tomorrow.

I was told that my cousin was quite terrified about being enlisted....maybe I should feel that way too??? Maybe I should cry till I'm able to fill up all the reservoirs in Singapore like the way I always did when I was still attending nursery?? No No No, what am I thinking.....I've never cried about leaving my parents' side ever since 4, so why should I tomorrow? I must be strong!!!! I must look on the bright side!!! 2 years shall past in a flash, I'll still be able to come home during weekends! And more importantly, I'm being PAID!!! And what does that mean??? MORE CDS!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, that's it for now.......Be back in approximately 2 weeks time!!!
