So I was at SNSD’s concert last Friday. It was simply put, awesome! It would have been sweeter if I were the batch to have ORDed earlier this month, but either way, it was quite a splendid way to end the year! And I was glad I splurged a little to go for the concert. I’ll admit I was skeptical, but it was worth every last cent. The atmosphere, the cheers, the fan chants, the performances, the lightings, the songs, and the girls! It made my December that bit more magical…
I caught New Year’s Eve earlier Monday evening. And I was pleasantly surprised. It’s one of those movies with multiple storylines running concurrently with the movie, so I really wasn’t expecting much. But it was funny, cute, a bit predictable but enjoyable nonetheless. And what struck me the most in the movie was this story of a woman who came up with a list of resolutions and set out to accomplish every one of them before the turn of the new year.
I never believed in drafting a list of new year resolutions. For one, I probably wouldn’t commit, and another, I don’t fancy the feeling of being tied down. I guess I like doing things in the spur of the moment! Spontaneity.
But watching the movie, it made me think. Maybe it wouldn’t be all that bad coming up with a list of aspirations and goals. And the key is to keep them vague so that it’s flexible and open to interpretation.
I finally received the letter informing me of my ORD, and it seems what I have been looking forward to for the past 1 year and 8 months is finally within grasp.
And the eclipse last weekend made me realize that I’ll miss the army a little more than I’d expected. The quiet, cloudless and cool nights spent outfield on the water gazing at the moon. And the hours spent admiring the symmetry of the moon’s reflection on the water. The shimmering waves reflecting the moon rays. The evening’s draft against my face, how refreshing it feels.
And need I mention the friends I’ve made over the past year and a half. Spending close to 5 days a week with them, living, playing and working together…
How time flies.
