Light VS Near

takeshi obata is a genius, and now that deathnote is coming to an end, i hope to expect something spectacular. it is something i can relate to, not only the ficitious storyline, but of the concept and high-level analysis behind the scenes. the ability to predict and fight it out in the titanic battle of minds totally impresses me, always urging me now to take things to a higher platform which makes the self an outstanding figure. definitely, pointers to note is the complacency kira had but all in all, i dare say this is the most mentally stimulating manga i've come across. funny how i indulge myself in such mind-boggling activities, even a simple softball game involves more wits than other sports. deathnote never fails to pump adrenaline into me and this is something i'll take along for the rest of my life.

in a matter of fact, the reason i penned down this sidetrack was because of the strenous mind which is forced to work under poor circumstances in mids wing. it's been 3 weeks there and there are many points to observe from the people there, and i'm afraid that i do not like their midset lest for those few potential SwordofHonour candidates. yes, there might be inflexibility in the government, but their rigidness is not to be largely blamed due to the performance of ill-disciplined cadets. upcoming imminently is the storming stage, and i'll remain in the backseat to make a personal mental note and continue my studies on people. i can understand people lose their tempers, and its not that i'm asking them to completely change and avoid the natural flaw, but they should realise that their ideals might not be the best and try a different angle of aspect, hence perspective. i can understand how they feel because i do put myself intheir shoes, but after analysis i found it not to be the best course of action to portray. well, i seriously hope for cooperation as i totally detest selfish-ness, a flaw which i succumb to sometimes. your own comfort may result in the prolonged sufferings of others, but i definitely can't change them. interesting how i feel more attracted to literature and philosophy now even though there is a lack of time. press on! happy birthday shing! i really hope you like our mini celebration... heh

yet another blink of an eye and a month flew past. the first 2 weeks of the tri-service term was testing, and sierra platoon 2 section 3 shared a bond forged similiarly like the different batches over the years. the confidence jump, an air time unlike others which distort the perception of time. cassevac revealed true emotions, strength and determination, and it was done after 2 whole days of section navigation. inside the chemical defence room was another experience altogether, the choking feeling has been etched in my memory. the coolest, funkiest section ever i would say, and how unwillingly the soul bellowed when i had to leave for mids wing. entering an entirely new environment, with an aching in my heart, settling down was not easy. however, adaptability came naturally as we endured late nights, with the 3 week confinement coming to an end with a turn out cum tekan initiation finale. although it was nothing compared to days in sierra, it certainly did mean a little and contributes to building our bonding in mids wing. combined with our first sea expedition, there is definitely something hanging in the air, only leaving a personal barrier to cross. times are not as physically challenging, but mental strength is constantly tested and i hope to persevere and excel. to others, the officer's creed and song might be just the mouthing of the words, but it really made sense during the cassevac. "i will make the officers creed rightfully mine" and with this, i stay true to myself as we now take another step towards officership. to ian, damien, xumao, leslie, almerick, tiongsoon, richard, daniel, benjamin, boh wee, wanling and elaine, i'll miss ya guys! and to wolf: niki, james, kenny, darren, karl, shing ee, koong jiunn, shi yang, you cai, andrew and josephine, i'll do my best and let's enjoy our life in mids wing and pass out together as one!
