The Power of One
Singapore, sunny
well...finally another post after what must have seemed like a millions years. To those completely unaware of my current pre-occupation, I have just officially embarked on my BMT military life. Talk about fast. just six weeks before i was in my physical training phase and in a blink of an eye, here i was on the edge of an impending field camp.
All truth be told, i was really quite looking forward to the camp but i had the strange feeling that that would be changed once I actually was in the camp. That is so like me. Interestingly, my best friend had also just started on a new leg of his military life too, SISPEC. He was quite sore about it really but hey, that's life man. think positive ya dude.
This best friend of mine just messaged me yesterday. Booked out like twelve hours later than me. ok..so I got lucky. But boy did i appreciate the luck. Had a heavy "Teka" session from one of the sirs. kept telling myself that i must "dong" for a few more hours. And "dong" i did. I am a survivor man. The thing is, the road is still long so..that's that.
Asked TTY to comfirm the date of my treat for her and once again it ended it what felt like a sort of cliff-hanger- the kind in which the hero is hanging on the cliff and in flashes the words, "to be continued"... a little melo-dramatic perhaps..but you get the idea.Ah well, i guess i have to like wait for the perfect time, not that i have very much of it left. Ok that sounded totally weird, almost suicidal or something. Anyway, TTY please please quickly comfirm the date ya. It is driving me nuts. hehe.
Went to visit my grandpa in hospital later in the day. Saw the pain and the his exhuastion on his face. Really felt powerless save for the simple errands like helping him get some face towel, but that is life. It is so uncertain, so unpredictable. One moment you are up and soaring high and the next, "bam", you are down. PLease get well soon man. Hang in there.
On a last, more happy note, It's good friday today.My sister went to celebrate it with a "TGYGF" bang, [Thank God it is good Friday] celebration at her friend's.
Been feeling rather lethargic the whole day. Better sleep early tonight.
