foreign familiarity

ahh, for a chance to use this pompous line:
Nothing has changed. Yet everything has changed.

回 army lor!!

hmm, there's this guy at S1 branch who's almost as tall as me but weighs only 40kg. now, i understand how it feels like to be at the other side of the coin because i had to restrain myself from asking, "why are you so thin? never eat enough, is it?" even though i personally know how irritating and tired this question can get

struggled with 10km. i miss how i used to eat up the miles, like all these formidable distances are, yawn, beneath me

worked til 11+ pm, digging a trench around the drain becos supposedly grass cannot touch the sides of the drain. so anal! i kept wondering how lifang would have freaked out when she saw us plucking out the grass. then, area-cleaned bunk til 1+ am. i have never pined for the bed more. as i was doing all this sai kang, i was thinking about how i would remember my second day in HQ vividly decades from now. and it was kinda nice to see how the people in S1 branch work together and to observe the dymanics.

it's real cool to see people talk rapidly to-and-fro with reckless abandon. as in, most people in my social circle tend to be cautious about the way they speak and the content they deliver. nothing wrong with that except that sometimes talk seems less spontaneous
