Afternoon was napping time. Izmal packed up and left while all of us were napping. Nvr got a chance to say goodbye.
Took some pics of the platoon together. Our last moments together. The route basically repeats, and pass into ntu. So it was quite monotonous...damn boring march. Got abrasions as usual, but graduate with the cpl rank on my arms. Came back in the early morn.
Packing up the bunk, packing up the feelings too.Posting out, the moment everyone yearning for. Everyone going different places, but mainly arti and medic and signals.Sian to max when i heard ASLC...suck thumb lar....................Another 11 weeks of sufferings.......ill nvr get to experience unit life.

People move on, nothing stops.
Suddenly i realise, the distant is becoming more and more distant.
