Very good phrase for me to describe the upcoming 22 months, really.
I mean I guess it is what every Singaporean men has to go through, so I'll just take it like everyone else.
Uncertainty? Not really, I do know what's up and coming. It's like Scouts all over again, except you do it on every single weekday. Which isn't clearly the most enticing of things.
What am I looking forward to, then? Well, the end is what I'm looking forward to. I've a break from December 2016 to July 2017! It's insane. Imagine what I'd do with the time!
But hey, the next 22 months will not be easy, and for sure I've not set myself any targets at all. My parents would tell me to aim for OCS, but I say "I'll try my best". Cos... I can't be arsed.
Does it mean I'll just get through army sheepishly and not put in effort? No. I'm not one to sit back and just not give a damn. I've had enough of that in JC, and I kinda despised that. It made me feel useless, and I don't want to feel that way again.
But what I'll do instead is just... go with the flow. Follow instructions and execute them to the best of my abilities. I'll just do whatever others say, and perhaps have a poke or two at leadership opportunities when they arrive. But aiming for OCS? I'm not one against OCS, I think it would be a proud moment to be in it, but I won't really aim for it per se. Let's just see how "following and executing instructions" take me.
But anyway, I'm not really that excited to start my BMT, but neither am I scared. I just can't be arsed, I'll do my best and I'll just see where that brings me to. Hopefully the next 22 months will be enriching for me.
Signing out and I'll post again during CNY when I book out. Confinement, here we come~
