sometimes i wonder...

what is the purpose of my life? If i were to die today, how would i leave this world? Would my short existence on this planet changed anything? Would i have done anything to have a positive impact on others' lives? Would others lead a slightly better life just because i was alive?


on the side note..

It always hurts to have something taken away from you, especially something so beautiful. And as much as you hope that it would be returned, deep down you know it will never happen, much less the way you want it to, and perhaps that's why it hurts so much more.

just came back from field camp this week, battered and bruised haha.

this week has passed amazing fast as it just felt like one long day. from the moment i went back we rushed the preparations all the way till we came back and cleared stores, so didn't get very much sleep the whole week. Don't think the programme was that tough, but the conditions was definately challenging. It rained practically every day i was there, pretty heavily as well. All of us had multiple abrasions and possibly footrot because we were wearing soaked boots most of the time. For me, i had to visit the medic every day to patch my leg up otherwise i cant walk normally, my friends were saying they see more gauze on my tighs than skin lol. I cursed everytime it rained, then it rained even more, morale was quite low. My buddy's field pack and mine was also taken away by a wild boar on the first day lol. There were reports that the wild boar cheonged the concertina wire and broke through and grabbed our bags from the tent and rummaged for the combat rations. No serious damage was done except for our rations which was all eaten, my buddy's side pocket was torn but still survivable, quite funny to think of it now, but still wanted to detonate the pig with a if it returned.

When we returned, we were given a short while to clear the stores and then shower to prepare for the school celebration dinner for Deepavali and Hari Raya Haji. Decked out in shirt and pants attire, it was a stark contrast to what we wore a few minutes before, an all muddy no.4. This experience gave me a bit more insight what was expected of us, with such extremes on both ends, to be a soldier and a gentlemen, cheong sua and attend functions lol.. quite fun, but no im not signing on lol.

Anyway, thanks to all who sent me well wishes on my birthday.. spent my birthday clearing stores, attending dinner and then cleaning my rifle till the wee hours in the morning. Thanks also to rene who had to call 6 times from aussie before being able to reach me the next day cos i was doing things in camp, pleasant surprise and many thanks.

before i end off, would like to apologise for the poor english and pathetic unincomprehensable arrangement of my words...too shag to think lol.

book out! yay!!
extremely elated to book out so much earlier this week as my wing is conducting its e-learning exercise in preparation for our upcoming field camp, which allows us to go back home and study through the computer for the lessons that we will need.

that being said, the past few weeks inside camp has got me thinking about some stuff....
dunno how or why but it dawned on me at some moment in camp that all the things that we are learning or doing are actually in preparation of actually killing people in the event of war. The thought of actually killing another human being kinda makes it something to ponder about. In war, your enemy is just another person. But to his family friends and loved ones that he is protecting, he means everything to them. All it takes is 30cents for a bullet to take him away from them. What we are fighting for here is also for our loved ones. Does it make any sense to kill each other like that?

Scientists have been always coming out with newer gadgets. But what it actually means is to kill more people and more efficiently. Somehow the cycle never seems to end. War at this era would probably kill more people than all the previous world wars combined. Does it make the world a better place eventually when everyone is dead? We watched Hamburger Hill the other day as part of the lesson and one of the scenes showed the sergeant's good friend walking around with half his brain blown off and the rest of his friends dying around him. I can't imagine how i would feel if that would happen to my friends, nor would i ever want that to happen.

War... isn't a good thing.. my sensei used to say that is much harder to avoid a fight than to participate in one, and only fight if you must.

anyway, serious stuff aside... got informed recently that my wing will be having a social night event before we leave for our pro term, and that it is compulsory for us to bring a date for the event... thought intially had 8 months to find a date for comm ball man, then now so diao must already bring girl for wing social night lol. stunned. Qunfa needs a girlfriend, so does everyone lol.
