Simon Says

This is me always HaHa

Which OS are You?

This is probably me in-camp, then again the only pretty I'm is probably pretty lame. Ha

Which File Extension are You?

This is me ? Perhaps once upon a time ?

Your Element Is Water

A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious. That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep. Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily. You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others. You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves. You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful.

What's Your Element?

What says you ?

No .... I love salmons ... X.x

Today ~ Frm the FoX's den ....

A little something inspired by Jia's recent posting ... [perhaps trauma more over inspiration]

The headlines First Up ...

One of my fav dishes ~ Salmon cooked in any manner :) [well almost any manner]

Wheres the trauma in that you ask ?

Missing You ...

Some Over Due Photos

Thats me after while recovering ...

And thats me Last Sunday =)

Home Sweet Home !

12 days on Tekong ... 7 on the fields and 5 at coyline ...
An experience you won't forget ... An experience like no other ...

I used to believe with my experience and exposure I would had survived army life in a breeze ...
But I came to realise ... the experience is different everytime for so many factors ... Injuries being my greatest enemy this time ard ...

7 days in the feilds have proven and reminded me that I'm not of 100% physical condition nor of psychological readiness to face the elements of nature and a general lack of equipment usage due to tactical reasons.

Well it was fun ... tiring ... new experience ... Tormentous is not seriously the word to use ... Tough times don't last ... Tough men do ... How true ... How true ... So now we all await tougher times to come and go my dear brothers apache HA ...

I find my thoughts always all over the place ... I apologise

Missing Mich pretty bad ...
Sweetie ... Reserve whole of nxt weekend for me!

Dying ... Knee hurts ... Back hurts ... Heart ache ... Stomach ache ... Muscle sore ... Throat sore

Senseless Rambling ?

Been a Long weekend ? Ha ... Wondering what Long really means nowadays ... when it comes to bookout time ... limited is the only word that comes to mind ...

Well ... Not much done over the weekend ? I don't know ... To me ... time with mich is nv enough ... yet they say go for quality not quantity ... I guess I'm plain greedy ... sweetie =x I wish I could only spend more time with you -hugs-

Anywayz ... Just My Luck was a pretty good show ... HaHa

Rite ... had a little chat over "dinner" with XJ ... Funny how much there is to talk abt ... per usual these topics go round abt and comes dead centre on "Life" ... sheez ... am i boring or what ... But somehow I like that topic helps one reflects on stuff ...

Being "Handicapped" for over a mth and counting I would say I'd been given a brief insight on how life is like for the injured and the handicapped ... and how ugly the society is in singapore -_-"

Hmm ... lost again ... where am i ?

Missing Michelle ...

4 days to field camp ...

12 days to Book Out ...

-hugs-kisses-

Cya WIBO sweetie ~

Relationships ...

Okie ... not complaining abt the pain and trauma and all the other emotional as well as physical discomforts relating to my injury anymore ? Not exactly ... Just thought I'd give it a break for now ... (Since its broken ... I can only do that much)

Rite ... Anywayz ... I'd like to acknowledge and show appreciation to my love for being there even when times are hard ... Surfing through websites and talking to friends ... very so often you bump into a friend whos stuck in a rut in their relationships be it with friends or loved ones ...

Looking into the situation ... I'm no expert ... I simply avoid conflicts ... taking the extra step back so that everything can remain calm ... whether thats a good thing is very subjective ... somebody thinks that makes me boring ... others think its at the expense of my pride and people's respect for me ... but I think it preserves the neccessary peace ... expenses and sacrifices are to me but the price peace ... Yet I will agree that torlerance has to have its limits ...

Well ... I don't understand how issit many people fail to appreciate their gf/bf when the ones doing the compromise is apparently not them? So much more I would like to say but I will not ...

Like I say I'm no expert, I'm learning as well ... everybody needs to be related to in a different way ... and learning to relate to each is a process that will take time and effort

I don't stuff for nothing ... So people try to understand ... compromise when neccessary and appreciate what you have ... before you lose it ...

Recovery ...

Okiez ... heres a first but I would like to publically thank the lord and savior for his tireless aid for even his most unworthy subjects (i.e. Me)
I'm set on the road to recovery ... fast BUT I need faster =x I know i ask for too much sometimes BUT I really need faster !!!
Well ... Hid and XJ dropped me a visit with dinner last nite ... guess that helps abit =) Had a nice long talk with him ... Its been awhile haha
Expecting my love to drop by soon ... hope everything turns out well =)
Oh well back to camp tonite ... 18 15 hrs Life sux ... I won't mind 1/2 as much If I CAN ACTUALLY TRAIN =OH well ... Pray hard ... Wed is review by the specialist and I'll find out exactly whats wrong with me ...

Dark Is the World of the Soldier Injured =(

Official Bookout day was yesterday ... Everybody was happy ... I was happy (for awhile) ... Everybody's GF ... Family was at whitesands waiting to receive their tired NS boy ... Daddy came but I was much more than simply tired from training ... retired more likely =<

Haiz ... Sunday ... I should be out with mich ... enjoying the limited timeframe of my bookout ... but all I've been doing (able to do) is to sit on my bum praying and having a roller coaster ride on the emotion highway ... Miss Mich ... Trying to be optimistic ... Feeling down right low with the injury ... Trying to be optimistic ... Pulled back down by the idea of a recourse ... Trying to be optimistic ... Missing Mich ... and the whole shit goes on =<

U know drugs would be an absolutely good idea if i were actually dumb (or depressed enough) ... WHAT AM I TALKING ABT ARGHZ .... -_-

Nv felt so low since ... I don't know ...

I never liked the idea of serving the army ... But since I'm compelled I have every intent to do my best ... to excel ... outdo ... outlast ... outstand ...

God Help Me !!! =<

army songs

Just something I picked up from the army ~ Guess it reflects the feeling of every soldier and their family even though most of the time the lyrics makes little logical sense ... the gist of it is usually there ~ ha

In the early morning Jog ~
With my towel on my back ~
And an aching in my heart ~
Coz I miss my Mother so ~

I know I know ~ You got to go ~
So hurry hurry back home ~
Coz I miss you so ~

In the early morning march ~
With my feild pack on my back ~
And an aching in my heart ~
Cos I miss my Lover so ~

I know I know ~ You got to go ~
So hurry hurry back home ~
Coz I miss you so ~


Training to be a soldier to fight for land ~
Once in your life ~ 2 years of your time ~
Have you ever wondered ~ Why must we serve ?
Becoz we love our country and we want it to be free to be free ya !
Children having ah ~ We're carrying guns ah ~

Oh well ... thats abt it for now ... shit I'm feeling really sianz ...

Day 3 of Attend C

I'm due back in camp today ... Conditions seems to have stablized and slowly recovering ... I can walk (or rather limp) without absolutely excurciating pain ... But swelling is still there and movement is limted without my clutches (not that it isn't with them -_-") Haiz ... feeling like a bloody handicap ...

Oh well on the lighter note ... lix, jeremy, kitty & Bf dropped me a surprise visit yesterday =) Really touched they guys actually spent their precious book out hours to visit me when they could had spent it on so many other things ... thanks people =) Appreciate it

And Michelle dearest sent me a picture of golden nuaing =) My My hasn't she grown bigger ...

Home ... Earlier than expected ...

Well ... I'm Home early from confinement ... Not exactly my idea of happy though ... Fell from platform training ... how dumb =x

Miss Singapore ... Miss Home ... Miss Michelle ... But this isn't exactly the answer to it ... infact this is nothing close to it ...

Haiz ... I hope I'll be fine ... don't wanna get downgraded ... I still wanna lose weight and go to command school ...

Thats Me @ CGH =<
