here it is. enlistment day. in about seven and a half hours i'd be drafted into national service. i still remember lydia's two words when aaron went in. "fuck conscription" she says. hahaha. she's funny you see.

it's gonna be 1 year 8 months for me. here ends my reign as a free man. for now. no more doing whatever i want, whenever i want. gonna be relying on all the nice happy memories to pull me through this period. of all the transitions i've to go through, this has gotta be the worst. putting down the phone just now wasn't easy either. if there's one thing that i can wish for it'd be for phone chargers to be permitted into camps. seriously, i don't see the problem with it. anyhow, three phones and an additional battery should last me. haha...sounds damn kiasu but trust me, it's barely enough. gonna miss the comfort and privacy of my own room.

enjoyed myself thoroughly the past 3 days. shall always remember it. candlelit dinner just now was great too. happy 6 months! take good care and don't do silly stuff while i'm gone. stay in one nice piece aight? see you soon.

can't help but wonder how my bunk mates will be like. how my company will be like. how everything will be like. for now there's so much uncertainty. but three things remain as clear as ever.
my family loves me.
sweetie loves me.
Jesus loves me.
hey, that's good enough for me.

current status: be right back
