Time

July is about to be over, all in the blink of an eye. And that’s one more month down in NS. The closer we get to the much anticipated date of liberation, the more I think and ponder over the reason people just want time to past so quickly in these two years, yet so aimlessly and unfulfillingly.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like NS too. But along with it comes some exposure to working life, some free-of-charge benefits and facilities, and most materialistically, pay for doing virtually nothing on some days. That’s what I’ll treasure in the four months to come.

I always have a kind of love-hate feeling when the month gets into the 20-something period. It signifies the end of a certain prescribed period of reverse calculation towards a speculated end-point, yet keeps myself regretting over stupid mistakes done, and in awe of how far I have come and how much I have grown.

From time to time, I also get surprised at the extent simple acts could affect people, be it to me or from me. There have been too many instances and it’s practically impossible to archive them for records. Luckily, the endless servers of the cyberspace did us a good favour. And on our part, what’s integral is that we treasure and cherish such moments.

I tend to get carried away and write a little too much. But I just needed to get these off my chest before I get too thoughtful and start penning down random nonsense in camp late at night again.
