I've walked and walked... and finally reached the 16km mark. The feeling is beyond expression.. especially when you see the whole company welcoming us back with open arms. Walking back into coy line never felt so good? I think good is an understatement. Well i cant scratch out the vocabs from my head now sadly becoz its filled up with mostly valgurities i've picked up in the army and it's messed up with the little things that happened last week.

Lately i havent been "on the ball". Probably becoz im still kinda disappointed from last week poor performance. But if this is going to keep bothering me, i know that i'll be dragging myself down all the way till POP. Speaking of which, POP is around the corner ! Time flies. Crossing new paths and making new friends. It'll be a good thing having so many familiar faces wearing green after leaving the island this time round.

After being in L Coy, it kinda soiled into my heart that whatever you believe in, shapes the quality of your life. Believing in yourself and knowing what you want is as important as giving your best in everything you do. And one thing for certain, no matter how foggy the road lies ahead, at least i know that i've given my best when i turn to look back at the path i've chosen. No one can turn back time to make things right.(unless you're Hiro Nakamura. Watthaaaa!). But if i could, i'll choose not to. For the feeling of failure makes everything worthwhile after overcoming the obstacle. Especially when you do it with your heart and soul. Its all about doing things with "feelings" like what my Platoon Commander always say.

My entries are getting pretty wordy and i know it'll be even wordy-ier if i sit down all day jotting down the things i want/wish to blog about. I guess i'll end here for now and click a few frames before i book in.

//Up in the sky, planes fly high.
When the parachute blows, like flowers in the sky.//
Proud to be a Leopard Trooper.
