just the 4 of us

out of the blue, my buddies from the army camp called me for a mini gathering at night. nothing in particular, just a meet up session between the 4 of us, my upperstudy; who's a year younger than me, and 2 other MTOs. just a late night talk cock session, which stretched from 10pm to 4am in the morning at a nearby coffeeshop. the 4 of us used to share the same bunk in camp, and back then, we used to have this talk cock session almost every night, usually started off by me and one of the MTO; Freddy, talking while lighting up our last stick before we turn in for the night. i'm not usually a talkative person, i'm more of a listener. but whenever the 4 of us are together, hijinks and hilarity ensues. usually, my upperstudy is always the butt of our jokes, and nothing is spared in our endless torment of him.

up until now, i didnt realised how much i've missed about the times we all had back then when we're in the army. its buddies like this that makes all the bad things tolerable, and all the effort worthwhile. even though we knew each other for only more than a year, we hit it off like old long lost longtime buddies. i cant say the same for most of my other long time friends. i'm not sure why, but a year of staying together sure brings the bond between us closer.
