Hold Your Colours

Received from Navin on the 19th of April, 2009.

I'm back to everybody's favourite camp and it's pretty bittersweet. Nice to be back among my National Service friends but at the same time I'm gonna miss hot showers and sleeping in.

The first few days I wasn't feeling myself. I felt like something was missing. I wasn't sure what but whatever it was was affecting me quite badly. I don't think it's homesickness cos it's only been a few days.

I just realised that I've never mentioned the first guy I met here. Lai Yoong Chieh a.k.a Stuart Little. I met this guy on the bus. He's the closest to my home among the guys. He's from Taman Desa. The reason for the name "Stuart Little" is cos he looks like him. He calls me "Taipei 101" for obvious reasons.

I was pretty lucky as he's in the same company as me. Just that he's in the other Alpha dorm. We hang out so much it's like we're a gay couple.....imagine that, it's Navin and Raja all over again.

Oh, I signed up for kayaking. But before you can join the team, you have to go through the vigorous training. Trust me, it's torture. I think I'm the only Indian guy who survived the training and most probably they have to make a muhibah team, so see how la.

Our camp's Open Day is coming up. Parents can come visit the sights and sounds. So there're gonna be performances and I'm planning on joining T.T.S (Tempur Tanpa Senjata). Well at least YC wants me to.

Yesterday night I realised what I was missing so much: my music. When I got back my handphone yesterday night, I put my handsfree kit on and let the drum and bass roll. It put tears in my eyes, no joke.

MUSIC IS LIFE.

By the way, I'm in love with drum and bass. One verse has been playing in my head from a song called "Hold Your Colours" by Pendulum; Must have been a nightmare, please open your eyes.
