Office just got more crowded today. But somehow
the number of things to do was better today.
Seemed to have done more. Ha...
Anyway had a shock to know that a platoon mate of mine
was in hospital and after work, went with a few others
to find him.
Felt sorry to see him in a bloated state, after a virus
attack to his kidney. But as usual, he had this aura of
calmness and acceptance about him. He had this ever since
i've known him and in a way, I feel that this is what makes him
special.

Was also happy to see my other platoon mates after so long.
Has dinner with them after the visit. Just felt nice to be with
them to catch up and all. But sadly, it had to take something to
happen to one of us, to cause us to meet up.

I wonder then, how hard it is to just gather to catch up with each
other if nothing happens. Maybe its because, we're all so busy with
our own lives...? Maybe also we're not that close after all...?
Only just coming together easily when possible because of the
familiarity that we've had and the times of trials we went through together?

Then i saw another platoon mate, with his friends. He's like so close
with them that even though they have things to do, they'll still meet
up to have meals together. And they've been like together since sec sch.
Seems to be quite a bonding. But it just makes him less acceptable of the
other friends around him i guess. Harder to meet up and all. Which is quite
sad as i've always regarded him as a close pal. Maybe we all just have our
own lives to lead.

Just hope our hol trip will come true....
