6th Day: Its as hard for me as it is for you

Skipped one of the afternoon lectures today which i know that Alv wouldnt be quite happy with that. But at least im home early and manage to be home before the storm started. While blogging in my room now its pouring cats and dogs outside. Hopefully the house wont trip of the electricity again.
Anyway, i just finished watching the videos on cyberpioneer about what are the few things in which Alv will actually go through when he is at Brunei. They are even accessed for killing a quail. Saw how the guys literally just dislocated the head of the quail and drained the blood. Gross. But to them its like cloud 9 because they were only given 2 ration packs which isnt enough at all.
And then came the short video of a summary for the 9 days of JCC. Where they had to climb up 2 peaks, swim across the river, and go through a 3 day 2 night in their self-built A-frames, cooking their own food, collecting their own water, building a trap and they are being accessed for all of it. Seemed really tough to go through all of it from the way i see it. From all the interviews, all of the guys seemed to have matured and realised how precious certain things are back home and they learn to cherish even the little supply they are given with.
I hope Alv passes all his test well and hopefully not get injured. Today, is the start of his 5 day navigation training or test, i cant remember. But its gonna be out in the dense forest with all the wildlife creatures and mud. Whatever it is, i believe he will return home as a stronger and tougher man. Like one of them in the video said, JCC pushes you to your limit. That even when you feel like you cant go on, the fact is you still do have some amount of energy. You just have to tell yourself to push all you can. And at the end you will make it through. I was kinda brought to tears when they started to talk about how much they miss home and for some, their girlfriends. The genuinely kind of "miss" that they have for the life back in Singapore is just true and it can be felt how much they missed the food and comfort back home. I suppose its the same for Alv i guess.
Many a times, i think that you may be too busy with your training that you wont have the time and energy to think of me. But after watching so many of the army videos, i realised that im wrong. Because you miss me as much as i do. Its just that you cant text and tell me or call because you are restricted, but i can. I guess im still in the process of learning to be someone better for you over time.
Pray that your training will go well and God be there with you.

Anyway, its time for a short nap to sleep away the headache thats bothering me :/

Love, Van
