Holiday from Real

Hellllloooo!!! So right now i'm on my 4 days break from NS (i wish it was longer ahhaha) which is gonna be filled with sleep, sleep and lots of sleep. Seriously though how do they expect us to have enough rest when we sleep at 12 wake up at 5 and the rest of the day is filled with outdoor activities. Tired wei. So far the whole thing has been very surreal. It still hasn't sink in that I'm actually there you know. The whole thing is like a dream.

Oh and did you know we eat like 6 times a day! Trust me you'll never get hungry. I remember before I went for NS some of my friends advised me to bring lots of food cos the food there sux but surprisingly the food at my camp is not bad. But of course you don't have any choice la. It's not like a buffet or anything ahhaha.

Anyways I found out a couple of days ago that I was shortlisted for the Petronas scholarship and will have to go for the interview tomorrow. Scarrrry. I'm scared and nervous like shiat.

But I know that this is my chance and I'm gonna make the best of it cos recent events has taught me that we should always be grateful with what we have as some people are not as lucky as us. There's this friend that i met at camp whose experienced has really affected me. He had to go through a lot of cabaran and dugaan at such a young age (seriously his life is like one of those malay novel tema you know). Before this I never knew people like him so when he opened up to me it really made me appreciate the people in my life. And just recently while I was having lunch he called me bearing bad news. My heart really goes out to him and hopefully he'll be able to go through it and not give up and remember that he is not alone.

Maybe we all need a little bit of rescuing,
from whatever it is that we fear, that we hate, that we run from.
There are the knights-in-shining armor who will come into our lives,
deliver us from evil, and save us from ourselves.
But then there are those, the quiet heroes,
who can find what is worth saving within us,
but also reach out, and ask to be saved…
So maybe we all need a little bit of rescuing,
But maybe, in the end, what we really need is to be rescuing each other.
