the one with the exams period

was at school yesterday looking for a tutorial room to study at 3pm. every single room was occupied and even notes wrote "room occupied" were pasted everywhere. was pretty shocked at such phenomenon. didn't expect people to be working so hard for the exams. realised i am still not putting much effort in my studies. maybe due to the fact that i have lost touch with textbooks for 3 years le. army really makes my brain work slower.

a wonder how people can be so close at some period of their time spent together. chatting everything under the sun and cracking jokes like nobody's business. but after that period and when u see those people again, you feel like total strangers to them. i felt this when i saw some of my army counterparts whom i once have spent miserable time overseas training. it's a pity such friendships are slowly disintergrating into nothing. but what can we do about it? life moves on for me and for them too. new friendships are forged along the process. it's a vicious cycle.
