" flower in winter
soon to wither
a life in stone
to see it in bloom
whither do we bemoan?
sleep well april showers,
if ever in winter december
the snow's beauty veiled by cold.
do not mind the unmoving white
tip it over, let it fall once more "

destiny awaits me; but i'd rather the simple joys in life.
back to being a kid. that's how i would describe the transition from life during NS to life in the university. no responsibility to tasks that were entrusted to you, no responsibility to your colleagues and fellow soldiers.etc certainly, it would vary from individual to individual. from a particular point of view, it would appear that most of us live a more carefree life in the army. well, that's very true to a certain extent. Hah! But enough of that.
then again, NS was like a recess of sort. a period for introspection or renewal even before i continue my journey on destiny's ship. another life im suppose to lead as opposed to the one in the army. yet there's something about its simplicity (even with "office politics", backstabbing etc.) that appeals so much to me. though unsophisticated and naive, life was simple and uncontrived. i guess it's just my yearning for a simple life that's all. i have a feeling that even fate itself would not allow me that.
well, no whinings and long-winded stories on the forementioned subjects. in a way, it seems to me only a formality churning out this post. a new stage of life's journey obviously warrant at least a footnote right?
