so the past few weeks following ROC have come and gone pretty quickly. OETI was indeed paradise and it was an awesome experience. Never in my army life have i ever been home on weeknights with the exception of block leaves. and before i know it, its 4 weeks more to that day. going back to Delta for joint term is indeed a cause for excitement.

met up with dhil , XD and darren(for abt 1/2 hr) for a rather failed exco dinner but it was still awesome nevertheless as we caught up and talked about life and all. especially XD who i have not talked to in quite a while. had a short discussion about studying overseas and suddenly, i am struggling to find myself a reason to go overseas. ironically, it comes at a time when my UK apps are finally sent. yah thanks mr cook btw you finally got it right. i stumbled upon au yong's blog and read about how he was missing home all so much. XD also made a good point about us potentially missing out on a good local uni experience if we choose to go abroad. but then again, wont missing out on an overseas experience be as bad? 2 things i know for sure if i really make it abroad. 1)i will miss home like hell and 2)i will miss everyone from family to friends. its still early days as with the NS liability my projected year of study is 2011 but since the talk yesterday, i cant help but question myself whether i have really thought it through before applying in the first place. i guess i can always reject it if the situation calls for it.

back to army and i am graduating from SOL in a mere 3 days time. the place is wonderful and the experience will be always remembered but the leadership there can be questioned at times but oh well. the problem with humans is that we complain the most about what we see without going through it on our own. so i shouldnt complain too much, after all i cant deny that i have learned much from this course. i guess a tribute post to SOL will come soon.
