"you never know what you had until it's gone..."


i ORD-ed yesterday. today being the true official day. tis 2 years ago this day that my parents saw me off to P. Tekong for BMT. looking back on the journey... brings back fond irreplacable memories of each place i've been posted to.

i really miss my workplace. to me, it became a home away from home. it was a place that made me who i am. it forced me to go beyond myself and pushed me to limits i never knew i had. training was a bitch, but the sweet rewards after were more that justified. there exists a culture, a mutual understand, something so symbolic yet unspoken that everyone knows. most of all, working there gave me a sense of purpose... of belonging. leaving now... knowing that things will never be the same again... saddens me greatly. it's like being torn apart from your family. but that's how life is. you live. you learn. you leave.
