A Friend from a Long Time Ago

Received a surprise call from David from his army camp, he's gonna finish BMT soon. Had a long chat regarding his work and newfound relationship. About how much he's being imprisoned in that hell hole, what's he doing in there and mostly how much he misses home and most importantly, missing his loved ones.

What I really admired him for is his resilience towards his relationship and also how much of trust he decides to place on his spouse. Despite meeting each other only brief periods, worst of all, just chatting on the phone for around 5mins, this 'long-distance' relationship still manages to hold itself together because of the mutual trust that they have placed in each other, trusting each other's integrity and character for certain things. From what I've heard, they are rather independent of each other, though they will still have longings for each other now and then, they still held on so that they could spend that brief quality time which was cherished by them.

Really thankful for his surprise call smack right in the middle of the night, but it felt good knowing that your friend somewhere, that you haven't spoke to in a long time, is doing well and despite the ups and downs, moved on bravely.

Days Drawing Nearer!

Finally, my job is coming to a close after a long 2 years and 3 months. Felt a sense of relief that I toiled hard, happiness in the new found friends/colleagues and also a hinge of regret. Regret that maybe I shouldn't have placed too much effort in building up the system. It wasn't anything against her, but rather the attitude and mindset in wanting the company to work, for her. And the little actions did that made me really annoyed. Yes, forgive and forget as time goes by for certain matters. But when it comes to the ultimate decision on what to do, what she says just sums it all. Much regret on my part as I have even hesitated to stay and help out for a little while. Really, you made me think twice about placing trust in what a person says - applying on a working society context.

Oh well, what's well ends well. Just gonna look forward, there's too much ahead. :)
