A confirmed placing in those frontline posting? Insyaallah. I'm left with Law Final Examination, its gonna on the 31st of March 2009. Once its done, its P.O.P OH! time. Somehow, I can't wait to get out of Home Team Academy. No doubt it turn boys to men, but the Coy Commander is a really irritating matrep, with mohawk hair in a Police uniform. Oh ya, my Field Instructor? Lagi worse! Irritating fucker, early in the morning wanna disturb people already. So if I really wanna get out from there, must pass Law Exams, ok?

Anyway, its time to make a difference. Enough of the same old Haiqel. National Service life is just so fucked up. But hey, there's no reason for me to complain. I know its helping me change for the better. Sitting and lazing around at home or even working in a stupid part-time job all the way just won't help.

I was flipping through the pages of my life, and I stopped to a page where I particularly broke down and cried. I was a boy who was enjoying life to fullest. Those years were the happiest years of my life. I've never felt so complete before. Yes, there were really hard obstacles to go through, and I can't deny that it was very, very hard for me. But it could only determine my patience. However, I wasn't a perfect person myself. Who the hell, is? I had my fair share of stupidity and foolishness. I didn't set my priorities right and I was playing a fool most of the time. I have realised. Some things are just missing. I'm not proving myself to be man enough. But everything's different now. National Service was there to help me. I know I have to carry on no matter how heavy the extra weight is being put on me. So all I have to do is, not to prove to anyone else, other than myself.

I attended a course and the speaker, Ronnie Eng, said this particular phrase. "Patience is a virtue. Be patient and you will be rewarded. What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger. Life is too short for you to be unhappy." True? All I could say was, I've been patient. Really. But come to think of it again, is it the right thing to say? Definitely not. We have to be patient for as long as it takes. Only time will tell.
