As arranged 7 weeks ago, Kelvin and me were to return to S1 Br on Dy's ORD-day. And so we did. It was quite nostalgic. As Kelvin drove past Normanton Park, on the Portsdown Flyover and into the Camp, I couldn't help but to keep staring out of the window. It was a familiar sight that seemed so distant. I couldn't believe I took that route for 2 years. As I climbed the middle staircase, I couldnt help but tell Kelvin it was 12noon, and we would usually take that route after lunch.
S1 was quite surprised to see us; we were making lots of noises in PA section(as usual). Perhaps, on hearing our voices, he came over to check whether he was "hearing things".
My room is exactly the same. I miss the familiarity; the ageing furniture, the new aircon that is still blowing new-smelling air etc. Glad that no one actually ka-po the partition yet. Kelvin was saying that he preferred to do the kind of work he used to do in office than the kind of work he is currently doing. I miss the camaraderie of this group of people who are differently similar. 7 weeks has passed very quickly. 7 weeks in camp used to be a very long time.
7 Weeks on, everything is just history. I must have grown too attached to the environment. I dont exactly miss it, just that I tend to prefer things that appear to be familiar....
