Where We Gonna Go From Here?

A great song by Matt Kearney. Keeps ringing in my head lately though.

Guess its by no coincidence then, that it reflects my thoughts and feelings for the past few days ever since i was officially discharged off my NSF status in the army and got reunited with my beloved pink partner. Supposed rush of jubilations and estacies upon leaving Bedok Camp for good were quickly bowled over by the sudden relisation of loneliness and a sense of loss. Have i really ORDed? No, actually the question should be, have I or will I make a smooth (pray) transition as a civilian in a more realistic and unforgiving world outside the walls of our military barracks?

No, I'm not trying to be emotional or emo if u'd like to call it that...

It's just, with the recent happenings of close friends and my own family included, I realise that 2 years of giving your life/soul/heart/time/bullcr*p (whichever group you think you belong to) to the nation doesnt equate to being ready to face the world outside. Heck, it doesnt really even mean being operationally ready anytime but i digress...

A close friend's mother, whom i'm close to, being diagnosed with breast cancer, my parents'health and the current financial crisis that my family is mired in make me wonder sometimes, where are we gonna go from here?

A friend lamented that we seemingly grew up too fast. How very true that is. In a twnkling of an eye, boys became men, small issues became big problems and of course i became bald(ing) haha. On a serious note though, i must say i learned that in time of adversity, it is true friends that stick to you through thick and thin. Cliche but true. ORD may/is overrated but the rollercoasters in life are defintely not.
