9 months for 1 day

after a long 9 months, everything boils down to today's parade. hundreds of people are going to have their eyes fixated at the 12 contingents on the parade square. parents would try to spot their sons and daughters, friends try to look out for their friends, and i must also say that we within the contingents do try to look around for people at the grandstand. emotions would definitely run sky high as it would encircle our hearts and minds, electrifying the crowd as we march and execute drill movements. there is just about 9 hours left to the parade's climax.

as i count down the 9 hours, there's this feeling of not wanting to leave just yet that still lingers in our hearts. i can't bear to leave my friends behind, but i always tell myself one thing, and that is we may pass out and leave this place, but the memories would still be deply etched in our minds, and in our hearts.

to my friends out there, stay in touch. i'm here.
