equilibrium

after so long, the team b list is finally out.

strangely, having been so anxious and worried about the selection results, i have to honestly say that i do not feel the thrill and exhilaration that i thought i would feel.

rather, my thoughts went out to the friends that have left, or were left out. these are the friends with whom we went through months of training together, endured strenuous trainings together, suffered misery at the hands of persons unknown together. and we came through it all, somewhat closer, bonding through the experiences we had.

yet as the time drew nearer for the selection, one left, soon to be followed by another. the number of friends were lessened.

and with the announcing of the selection results today, another two fell to the evil arbitrariness that is the selection process.

at the risk of coming across as being fake, i would just like to say that i really enjoyed the times i had with the four of you. though you may no longer be in the team, but i still regard all of you as friends and i hope to see you around.
