That Fateful Night

It was that "talk" during that fateful night which left me with a heavy heart...
Mistakes after mistakes... Stacked and piled...
For the first time in Tekong, I couldn't sleep...
I sat on the ledge at our favourite corner...
The height offered a scenic view of the sea and the night lights of Singapore...

I was facing a series of conflicting emotions...
Leroy thought it was a very JC mindset of doing things but I felt otherwise...
I have to admit I'm hopelessly supportive of Platoon Sergeant...
I always felt that he had something more to teach and offer as a disciplinarian...
I tried to delve deeper, understand the meaning behind each actions...

It was that night I'd came up with my own resolve...

The simplest things are often the hardest to achieve...

It's not easy to pay attention to every single minor detail...
As much as I try to be conscientious in the things I do, I have to say I still fail to comply or adhere to what we often deemed as "simple"...
We have been constantly taking things for granted... thinking that small gestures are redundant and thus, should be omitted...

Let us ask ourselves these questions...
Who doesn't want to take the easy way out?
Who don't wish they could cut some slack and give themselves a piece of their own mind?

Perhaps this is the root of the problem...

Apart from that, a portion of my conflicting emotions came from the thought of leaving Orion, knowing yet again, I'm going to leave the friends I've just met... In 2 working days time, we will each walk our own paths... I'm seriously going to miss them...

I stayed till midnight because I wanted to wait for Jielong to come back... I wanted to see a complete section 3 before putting that fateful day to an end...
Salvaging the last few moments I have with them? Sadly, a yes...
