glasgow morning.
"I’m grateful for anything that reminds me of what’s possible in this life. Books can do that. Films can do that. Music can do that. School can do that. It’s so easy to allow one day to simply follow into the next, but every once in a while we encounter something that shows us that anything is possible, that dramatic change is possible, that something new can be made, that laughter can be shared."
— Johnathan Safran Foer

The bottle is empty now
Today, marks the end of the bulk of my specialist course, professional term.
Two more weeks to the end of the course and I'm proud to say,
I'm a combat engineer.

Probably at 13 weeks ago, I'm know I'm thrown into darkness of not knowing what is going to happen. The rumours about how tough, physically taxing this vocation is. then, the thought of staying in this vocation for the rest of my national service puts me worry.

Then, there were the tough times, countless to point, endless to tell. It was not really what I have expected.
Yes, it is physical taxing.
Yes, it is tough sometimes.
But somehow, it's all worth it.

The thing about the tasks we do emphasize on teamwork and trust. We all know it.
I am extremely fortunate that in BMT, it was a company pride thing, to SCS, it was a section pride, then, to ProTerm, it was a platoon pride.

I love my platoonmates, how we are not in the same section but we still bonded together. Somehow there wasn't much shit to go through, but it was just naturally bonded together, like friends who just did not meet before in ETI.

I enjoyed my stay in ETI.
and now, the important question is, can I continue to enjoy my stay at ETI with a new purpose or to move over and face new challenges in days to come.
