A Surge of Optimism
A buddy of mine thought that I was a cheerful person. Well, perhaps appearance does not equal to character. However, I do aim to become one after hearing his comment.
I must note to myself that "Every cloud has a silver lining" and that "tough times do not last, tough men do". Hope that through every suffering and hardship that I encounter, I could become a better man with a tougher character. More importantly, I believe that I should try my very best to be optimistic and see the good of the suffering and accept the bitterness of the suffering. Also, I must find a sense of purpose in whatever I do in life, and try to exert a positive externality to the people around me. Wish me luck :)

Unknown Destination
This monday I would be going to a completely new training camp. The fear and anxiety start to struck me the moment I knew I was going to be a bridge engineer. I started to think about all the possible negative events that could possibly happen to me during the course of training. But I cant... I cant continue like that... I must brace myself and regain my composure.

Child's innocence
On saturday, I saw a small boy playing with his sister. He fell while running. He quickly stood up and still continued to laugh jovially. I thought to myself: "What if I could have that boy's mindset when proning on the jungle floor and getting up." Life in army would be much more cheerful. I do not know how long I will maintain this positive thought, but I believe sometimes thinking like a child may help to improve our attitude towards hardship.

Post confinement week Feelings
It has been about 19 days since I stepped into home.
The feeling when the ferry reached the pier of mainland was overwhelming. Simply magnificent, relieving and exuberating.
It has been 19 days spent at there. The place looks relatively better than what I have expected and there are sufficient assisted pull-up machines and pull up bars for training, and the 2.4km running route was scenic. But I was not used to running on roads for 2.4 instead of the usual track. Nevertheless, it was a new experience and many more 2.4 practices ahead.
As for my life there as a whole, I would say it was quite depressing. I spent most of the time there sick and sitting at the sidelines. As the saying goes, I can still train another day. However, as I made new friends and found old friends there, the place became more liveable :P
I hope that I can pass my ippt soon. As we knowing hope itself is insufficient, I must really do my best in training. Wish me luck... Also, I hope to meet up with my friends and catch up with my relatives during this short break.
I wish not to be sick again in there...
I LOVE MY MONKEY :D
