So on a very fateful weekday in bright and sunny Singapore, C enlisted. Yes, it was his turn to serve the country. And I was definitely excited for him. Why? Cause I loved how army was portrayed to me. All that bravery, brotherhood.. if I was allowed to, I would have joined army. But it was only then, I realised nothing about army. Noob.
I was all smiles but deep down, I really didn't want to let him go.
*clings on tightly to him*
Going to Tekong was really an eye-opener for me. I never had brothers so yeah, this was my very first trip. Okay la, I was excited but half dead at the same time cause I woke up at 5 that day. And fast forward to when we were brought to see their bunks, I honestly was ready to see clothes and underwear everywhere and that yucky BO stench that will linger in boys room. But when I saw this, I was like WAH. Everything was so neat. I couldn't believe it. The towels, the bags, the shoes, slippers, shavers and what not. You name it, it probably already been arranged neatly. And after that the only nice part was we got to eat lunch and of course see C. Heh.
After lunch, then it was time to say goodbye. It probably still haven't hit me then, like him being away for his first 3 weeks in army. We said our goodbyes, hugs and kisses were given, then off he went to join his batch of new recruits.
Then...
Yeah, he was really gone.
HAHAHA.
It was only after a day, it FINALLY hit me. C's in army now.
Cause he's been away for 12 days before, so at first to me, it felt like he went on holiday. A very very long holiday. Then I eventually understood the pain of every nsf's girlfriend. You can't talk or rant to him whenever you like ( yes via text and all, but physical presence is always the best. ), you can't go out on dates on weekdays anymore, it almost feels as if a part of you suddenly disappeared. But thankfully, there's admin time. Admin time, to me, is one of the best things invented in army. I wished there's a never ending flow of admin time, haha. During admin time, I get to finally hear his voice, what happened during the day and such. And I am blessed that C calls me every night so far. Or at least he makes time to! It's always what I look forward to at the end of the day. :)
Trust me, and in that 3 weeks, it wasn't easy at all.
I missed him terribly.
He celebrated our anniversary in army too. Guess it's gonna be a very memorable one. HAHAHA. Luckily, we celebrated beforehand already. And hopefully, the future ones we can celebrate it outside of army. Army, please let us.
After an arduous 3 long weeks, IT WAS FINALLY BOOK OUT!
His very first book out. I think Pasir Ris will soon be my new hangout. Haha. I used to be really afraid of Pasir Ris cause the number of army people there on weekends... just too damn high. Haha.
Nonetheless, I couldn't be happier to see him!
I was really happy to have him back in my arms, even it was just for two days. To have my best friend back was just plain fantastic hehe!
Okay la. Save you the agony of me going on and on about how happy I am to have C back.
Till then
