Jaded
Had a pleasant and short time with Tarun and Bin Hong at Beach Rd today to sew on our very troublesome ranks. Talked about many things that seemed so much funnier than when we were experiencing them. Like the first day of enlistment, the dreadful posting to the God-forsaken place called Sungei Gedong Camp, the first time we saw our PS, and so on and so forth. Makes me feel old, really, to have so much to reminisce on within a short time of 1 year. What more the memories that I had in secondary school and in JC. I feel so... behind. Seriously I cannot catch up with what my friends outside of army is experiencing. The things they talk about and do, the people they hang out with, makes me feel as if I'm not living in the same civilisation as them. Maybe it's the jadedness of being locked up five days a week. And I guess it'll only stay the same or get worse. Seems like everybody has moved on, and I'm marching on the spot. It does get tiring.
Oh well. What to do, life sucks.
