7 days of fieldcamp finally came to an end. Finally. The first few days were horrible. Intervals of rain and shine for the whole day, top it up with a heavy rain just b4 u go to sleep is one sure way of making one feel down. The most demoralising thing that can happen to u is to wearing back your wet uniform from the day b4.
Insect bites, blisters, heat rash(its torturous), cuts, mud, zero hygine is all part n parcel of it. But I came out from it more enlightened and stronger. I learnt alot of things, saw thru' people, found out who is ur friend n who is not. It was more of a test of how i can cope with mental pressure rather than my physical aspect.
"It's all in the mind" That's what my PS said just the day b4 he left for his course. Wonder if he got confinments.haha. Anyway, I wish him all the best. I don't quite know what to feel. Im sad tt he left, yet im also equally glad tt he wasn't there for our fieldcamp.hmMz..
You'll never appreciate the things u take for granted until u go for a fieldcamp. Things like warm home cooked food, your shower, clean set of clothes, school life, your bed of course, the hot n scorcing sun(really!) and most of all, your loved ones. I guess that's why they say the army is the place where boys become man.
The 2 things i liked about fieldcamp were my friends because without them, i dont know what wld hv happened to me and the stars out there in tekong are beautiful. Especially when the night sky is so clear, and the moon was ever so bright. I would soak myself in the beauty of the night and i longed for her presence. That is when i start to feel sad again..
aH.. Im so long winded. Forgive me. haha. Situational Test is coming up very soon. It's going to be much worse than fieldcamp. Pray for me will ya? 3 days 2 nights. I'll take it all in my stride
I love you my dear

Features an abstract- floral digital artwork drawn by me in photoshop. This layout is appropriate for all genders. The grandiose design is laid freely on a simple canvas and they complement each other pretty well. The sudden gradient change is applied to create one contrasting element. I created a 3D effect on the vines and they seem to jut out of the yellow canvas.
Why the name? The design, as you can see, is abstract and it gives a double-vision feel, therefore, Esophoria, a tendency to squint your eyes inward to create a double vision.
