It's Ramadan 20,
First, let's recap yesterday.I sent myself to the base,Unwilingly,I cried the whole day,pitifully, sadly.I felt so different.The comrades are the opposite of me.I was not used to be welcomed warmly,by so many positivity.
The first Day at the Base.
I was in the elevator to the cafeteria for Sahur at 4.30AM, with swollen eyes from the crying a day before. The elevator stopped at one of the floor and one comrade walked in. After few seconds in awkward silence, I heard "不哭..." coming from the comrade.
I nodded as a thank.
At the cafetaria, another young comrade passed me a cold compress without saying anything as he took his seat next to me to eat. Well, the cold compress does make my swollen eyes felt much better.
In few seconds the cafeteria was filled up with people. I guess it is the base rules. Everyone came to eat at the same table, together. It is very lively though everybody is focusing on eating.
Another comrade came with a cup of water, "您喝多一点水" and I said my thanks, thankfully.
A comrade who approached me after Dusk was the squad leader for Team 1. He briefed me on their schedule and allowed me to join them in some of the activity of the day. As for the other time, I am free to do what I want. If I want to leave the base, I would have to report and get the permission from the Higher Officer.
He left me with a walkie talkie and said, "有事...可以找我"
The base is not the answer. But I should be able to make something out of the time I would be spending here.
End of Report
Precious.
