My last day in camp yesterday. Come Monday, i'll be reunited with my pink little emblem of freedom. This would thus mark the official end of my life as an NSF. It's strange that though i am excited and happy about finishing my NSF term, i do feel a bit overwhelmed and plaintive. Overwhelmed, because the end of my NS journey would signify the start of life in Melbourne. It's going to be a tough trying to adapt to a new environment without my loved ones and friends. Plaintive, because ill definitely miss all my friends that ive made in the army. Outfields, servicing/ washing of tanks, NDP - all of these and more would not have been bearable without all my friends. I'll miss soccer in camp; i'll miss mono-dealing in bunk/office; i'll miss all the nonsense that we get up to when we're bored. In a way, i probably won't miss the army per se, but rather, i'll miss the people whom ive met there.
Touching. Sometimes we just need that extra hug, that extra kiss to give us the strength to go through with something.
If i had a 'Rewind' switch, i would use it over and over again. Just so, i can see you over and over again before i leave. Or even better, just so i dont have to say goodbye to you.
