Extra! Extra! (4:40 PM)
I'm on medical leave, which gives me 6 days to rest and recover, especially since I've injured my heel, ankle, shin, knees. This would deem a good time to recuperate. anyway those who have joint problems, do more stretching and take glucosamine, it helps.
Apart from the homework and all that reading I have done, being at home alone often triggers some memories I've had before I got into army. where are they now?
some things I may not have managed well, slipped away, and I'll never know if I ever get a chance to get it back in my life. I miss the life I had.
anyway, I've been pretty lost in current affairs since I've enlisted, only being able to catch a few articles from my time magazine every week. this week's bkk protest is quite disturbing to me. do they know that they're people in this world dying without sufficient blood in the blood bank? they're actually using their own blood for political threats? its really quite sad to know how issues cannot be resolved peacefully now.
i feel that I've became a robot at times in camp, following orders and meeting timings. I shall not go into the point about taking lead. and I'm sorry if I've been blunt to some people and hurting their feelings unknowingly. oh well fyi, someone appraised me as 'weak mentality', lol. you may be right in some ways I guess. Either way, I will take that as a spur, as a kind of motivation to push me because I hate weaknesses, especially in myself.
i see a big change in myself, i think this year has been quite a life-changing experience. I meet many sorts of people, highly motivated ones to really smart ones and to sickening arseholes. hahah. I have so much stories about army to tell already, only my 5th month.
life is all about choices? not in the army, friend. hahah. oh well, apart from restrictions, I can assure you people the tough times we went through were worth the memories we have now. I've made great friends over tough periods.
