What A Wonderful World

first time i'm listening to this song by louie armstrong in a long while. the last time was kylash singing it on the return leg of the 24km BMT route march when we were pass SISPEC. marching at the back of the platoon with kylash, daniel, mutiah, ashvin, jaya, jason was our usual routine during route marches. singing songs that're totally un-army like.

now a few months down the road, we're walking down very different paths in our NS life. mutiah's slacking somewhere, jason's out of course SISPEC like me, ashvin in sispec, jaya probably cross ocs, kylash and daniel in OCS.i wonder if it could haf been any other way - but i guess not.we'll just keep walking our seperate roads.

sometimes i feel like an utter disappointment. i haf no idea what to say when friends start talking about their army lives - i just smile and listen. don's right and i am picking up the pieces slowly, looking forward to the challenges of SAFSA and the league. the two lessons i learnt out of all this: the nemesis lives within ; and alternatives weaken the resolve, dissipate the focus, bringing about defeat.

those BMT times will just remain a figment of my memory, part of a wonderful world i used to know. time to move on.
