I sent my bro off to NS yesterday. Since it was the compulsory 2 weeks BMT thingy, so we went to Pulau Tekong. Their training facilities are like O_O super new and updated. When I saw their obstacles course, I seriously wanted to try it out, looks so challenging and fun. And then they have swimming pools and the gym their equipments are seriously maintained really well. The conditions are actually much better than I expected. They also had one of the army guy to show us all the equipments that the recruits have in their auditorium. The guy was actually really funny, his talk was really engaging. If only other speakers could be like that too. He has a great sense of humor, so it was pretty fun.
At that time, I often wondered why was I enjoying myself that much, but I supposed it hadn't dawned on me at then that my bro would be away for 2 whole weeks. When he finally left with the rest of the company, I suppose it was about that time that it finally hit me. I mean, it hadn't quite affected me before when he went on camps. It might be because this time it's 2 whole weeks of intensive training for him and I only get to see him on and off on weekends for the next 2 years. It might take some getting used to. It is kinda like feeling I have been so dependant on him all these years and then suddenly having him go for NS for 2 years, it makes me feel kind of lost without someone to depend and guide me along. It'll feel kinda lonely at times and he wouldn't be there to help me on my homework and projects. Until now, it still feels kinda surreal, that I wouldn't be seeing my bro for such a long period of time. So maybe it is about time that I learn to be independent and handle things myself. Maybe I'll fall at times, but it doesn't mean I'll break. We'll just have to see what happens in these 2 years.
p.s. He better not see this or I'll never hear the end of it XD
