i was snacking again.. tis tym, digestive biscuits.. hmm.. sounds familar? haha.. i dun buy such biscuits de.. it's from OBS.. haha..

as i was eating n staring at e desktop pic on my laptop, i recalled e memories of OBS.. the feelings of e land n sea expedition came back to me.. n really... it's much better to b walking on land for land ex than sea ex.. even if it means tt we hv to walk more.. cos at least, when there's rain or wat, we can seek shelter, at least, we r in control of certain things, like e direction we r heading, where our feet is taking us, etc.. but during e sea ex, when we r stuck in e mud, we hv no control over our feet.. we wan it to come up, but it jus stay stuck there.. during e storm, we cnt control where e waves were leading us.. it's a scary feeling nt to b able to b in control.. n nt knowing wat to expect next.. i m really thankful tt i hv tis grp of wonderful friends w me.. e 8 hrs of sea ex is an unforgettable part in our lives.. n it's a 'milestone' tt we hv to cross.. n i hv friends who go thru it w me.. n i m v thankful tt our friendships cont pass obs.. how many friends can b there 4 u when u need it, c u thru a time of need, a low pt in life, laugh w u n b by ur side after u achieved smth, b there to encourage u n give u a pat on e shoulder for a job well done.. though to some who didnt go thru wat we went thru, may think tt, sea ex. nth lah.. wat's so significant.. though e 8 hrs may seem short.. but we went thru alot during tt tym.. n we couldnt hv survived it alone..

i really miss them.. it has been close to 2 wks since i met some of them n more than a month perhaps for a few of them.. i miss e tym tgt n hope tt we can ALL get tgt soon.. do take care, ppl.. <3, barker
