Wat an ironic day today is... 21th aug...

我们是两条平行线 再没有任何交叉点


I remember when i was in army. there was a period of time where a series of unfortunate events happened to me. First i injured my ankle during basketball training. then i was removed from the 169th Basic Airborne Course which most of my company went for just because i had medical appt for my ankle on the day of the confirmation of namelist. the ironic part is that my name was in the namelist all along till the last min. For those who dunno, U must have pass the airborne course and get the airborne wing before u can get your red beret.

The thing about army is that if u dint go according to the training program which was airborne course, u have to cover the guard duty and other saikang for those who are attending the course. Of cos i endured the painful moments of seeing my platoon mates getting their red beret when i was still wearing the jockey cap. Let just say that all commandos hold their red beret with pride and this makes me very down during that period of time.

Before long it was the atec period. WE fought and train hard as we want to win the best combat unit honour and march in NDP as guard of honour. all of us gave our best and managed to clinch a recon 1 status for one of our mission with the other 2 at recon 2A. i remember falling into a trench with my mg when i was in a middle of a mission and injuring my knee. then after while waiting for the results to come as to who won the best combat unit, i injured my knee again. Those who injure their knee b4 will know tat it's not a pleasant experience at all.. imagine the joint of your knee coming out of place. It's one of the most painful experience i encountered.

SO the specialist diagnosed that my ACL ligament and my lateral menicus was totally torn. I have to go operation in order to recover and it will be only a 90% recovery. With heavy heart i went for the operation.

dont u realised that sometimes bad news dun just occur once? for my case they rain down on me mercilessly. First i received news that the results for atec was out but wasnt wat u expected. we got the best company and best platoon but we lost the ultimate honour of the best combat unit due to no fault of ours. We lost because apparantly some logistic pple complain to saf hotline about some stuff. about some logistic problem. So in the end we were DISQUALIFIED even though WE WERE MUCH BETTER and had an average of Recon 2A and above.
Shortly after that i receive news that i was being downgraded and being posted out by my S3. It was then that i was really depressed because my OC had previously promised to try to keep me in the unit and upgrade me when i recover.

IT FELT LIKE THE END OF THE WORLD THEN.

this is exactly the feeling i am feeling right now.
first this then tat. I hold only a few things with importance and within a few days i have lost some of it. I dunno how to express this feeling. it makes you understand that we are just weak mortals. it's through all this hardship that makes a man. i understand that.. but it's just so hard...
