My name is Gilbert.
i'm not someone happy
with just four days left, i began to feel more relieved about my enlistment, it didn't seem so scary now, it felt like just another camp at ncc.... my initial fear was due to the changes it might bring, i was very afraid i would be changed into someone i didn't like, although many people say you have a choice to be who you want to change into, it is not always this case, i can get influenced into doing foolish things by friends quite easily, network marketing was the perfect example, look at how much it changed me!
but i learnt what you fear can only be conquered only by facing it head on and you'll learn that its not always fear.
i recall a show i watched that talked about passion and perseverance, it is passion that brings life into an action, and it is perseverance that allows you to keep doing it time and time again, has the passion in me faded? is there any strength in me to persevere through this tough time? i believe, it is something that can be proven with time, if george can do it for 8 years, why can't i?
went to see omar today, he had blocked arteries, quite serious case, now he has to eat aspirin for life, hope he get well soon, we could use more laughter in the club.tomorrow meeting charles to buy the army stuff, leighton got me my watch (i hope) and i will be finishing my banner for the team, the only stuff left is to get ziploc bags, a new handphone, new specs and prolly shave most of my hair on thursday morning
a wise old man once told me : separation is a good thing, it brings on a new type of courage, it allows humans to grow at a faster rate to be more mature, the pain of separation will cause a human to want to work harder so that he or she will be a better person when they are united again, it will make them want to be stronger, although separation can be permanent, we are never really divided, because we live on, in each other's heart.
