dear diary, it has been a strange weekend.
i spent some quality time (well, somewhat) over the past few days with my best friend because he had to enlist over the weekend. most of my male friends have already completed or are in the midst of completing national service so this is really the first time i've had to "prepare" for enlistment with someone. this may sound wussy because my bestie was actually quite concerned about serving the nation. he's not exactly the regular dude you'd meet on the streets unfortunately (and fortunately in some ways too). it's not that he's physically unfit or lacking muscularity, it's just that he's got issues that no one (and i really mean no one) can truly understand or help him with (me included). it can be really hard to get along with him sometimes, but he's the reason why i grew up in the first place. he showed me a side of life i won't get to experience, and it taught me many lessons. many a time, i wish i could walk away from the pain and torture but i don't, and won't. i meant what i said that day.. i too wish you didn't have to go through what you did, and as much as you and i know that things aren't gonna get better, i hope that at least that light at the end of the tunnel will keep you going.

what an interesting weekend i had! it's nice and refreshing to not be in the hot seat once in a while. i learnt a few tricks and realized a few things as well. i was too caught up in trying to live up the expectations of others. it's nice to really be appreciated now and then. and i'm sure things are going in the right direction.

gear 1, gear 2, gear 3! here i come!
