my story

on a particular day in december 2000, this guy named xz was walking into Ice Lemon Tea in far east. he was greeted by this salesgirl who took his breath away with her smile. he became weak and got attracted to her. out of pure coincidence or a scene out of the movies, he saw his classmate working at e same outlet as his angel to be. and he manage to get his angel's number through her. and that began a tale of fairy tale.

and as always, fairy tale has to somehow come to an end. xz and his angel broke off shortly after due to some misunderstandings some wrong decisions he made. thus, e fairy tale ended. they lost contact shortly after the breakoff.

1yr+++ later, heaven played a prank. xz saw his angel inside the train. she was the same girl that took his breath away on the night of december 2000. he went up to her n chatted awhile before realising she has retooked her O lvls n passed n is studyin in SP also. Suddenly he has hope again only to know she has a bf already. Upon hearing that, he backed off. Few weeks later, he saw her again at MS. this time with her bf named jason. after that night, xz and his angel did not see each other again. Not even in school.....

thn 20003 came. while walking towards FC3 for lunch, xz saw his angel studying outside the bench n approached her and say hi. they exchanged number and both said goodbye. although they exchanged numbers, none made any effort to contact each other. till one night. xz received a sms frm his angel to ask him to meet her at toa payoh central. she has some problems with jason n asked xz to accompany her for the night. thus, the both of them spent the whole night in toa payoh central talking bout the past and catching up with each other. it was on this very night that both realised they still have feelings for each other and e breakup was very silly. the following week or so, on a weds night, they went mambo together. while dancing halfway, she looked into his eyes n soon they were caught in an embrace right in e middle of e dancefloor. they look like a happy couple. but in actual fact, both are suffering frm
emotional wounds. that night was the last time they saw or contacted each other. xz realise that both have to move on. she is attached. sinc thn he made no efforts to contact her though there are times he scrolled to her name n wanted to call her up.

year 2005 1 week before enlistment on a saturday. xz went to MU with his khakis. and guess wat? he saw her once again. this time, he went up to her. exchanged greetings and she invited him to her 21st bdae party. and guess wat, e date is juz nice on his first book out. the day before the chalet, they met up for breakfast. they spent the whole afternoon talking out all their problems to each other and somehow again, both still have feelings for each other......

then the ultimate came. on the night of book in which is 1 day after the chalet, xz received a sms frm her saying, they shld not be like this anymore. she is attached n is looking forward to e days ahead with jason. xz got e meaning. he was heartbroken. he continued his bmt like as though nothin happened. 13 weeks passed without contacting her.

16 September 2005. he received an sms from her suddenly. jason broke off with her. immediately, i cancelled all appoinments, went to meet her at east coast, thn made our way to chinatown, her frd's ktv pub. on the cab, she told him she has been drinking for days till she got admitted into the hospital. he is angry. very angry but hid his feelings inside him. e reason why xz went to accompany her is to take care of her cos he knows, she will not listen to anyone else other than me. n he has e responsibiity to make sure she is well and sound. they drank n drank. the story dosent end here....


*somehow, somewhat, i dare not say if we will ever get back together again, but one thing i m sure is that, i have not given up on her. cos i told her that she can always come back to me whenever anything happens or she needs help. i dont mind always being the last in the world to know. but at least i know. i m very grateful that i m the last one she knows who can comfort her n always trying to make her smile. eunice. i know you will be strong. nd u have to. to break up after 4yrs surely e emotional trauma is there. and i can understand that. but u have to learn to be strong. i will be here forever if u ever need me anytime. cos u know, i care bout u the most...its been almost 5 yrs since we knew each other. is it a sign that good things are to come?

i will be a nice sergent.

thats me with my sect comd. 3sg irfan.

its all over.

finally. yes. finally. bmt is over. its e end of e beginning. e real deal is goin to start on 19th Sept.

on POP day. e weather has been kind to us. its is not as hot or wet compared to our rehearsals. e clouds were there. e wind was there. it was a cooling parade. we have passed out. we have completed our basic military training. we are e trained soldiers.

e moment finally came after 13 weeks. e day we all have been looking forward to. e parade started on e dot. we were all ready n prepared by 2. waited at e fup from 3pm. e whole parade started with Pegasus n Mohawk displaying their drill stuffs in front of e guests. n soon after that, e cue was given n we all marched out with pride n gusto to e beats from e band. everyone marched like we have never marched before. e sense of pride
can be seen on all our faces. of course, e happiness. though it might be a simple parade, but to most of us, it is a significant one. this marks e beginning. i do not know how to describe e feeling e moment i stepped onto e parade square.

everything seems to flash. it only seems yesterday that i came to tekong to be a recruit. but now, i m marching out to b passed out. times seems to fly. i m sure to miss e fun i have in Orion. though i have been repeating this in my previous posts, but i have to say it again. this memory i have of e past 13weeks will never be gone. it will always stay here with me throughout my life. call me sentimental call me cheesy or call me emo. but i dun care. cos i know, i have truly enjoyed myself this 13weeks. all e sweet n bitter moments.

people always say, time n tide waits for no man. behold n b appreciative of what u have. now i have truly understood the meaning of this line. now that bmt has officially ended, n most of us will be separated. i do hope that we can still get connected in a way or another. cos this 13 weeks have brought a new meaning to e term friends. what are friends? are friends those whom u wana go out thn u call thm? or are friends ppl who will stay by yr side n share yr joy n sorry with you? or are friends ppl call u up only when u r in need n chuck u aside when they do not need u? to me. i have found the answers to e term friends. they are e ppl who will stay by yr side through thick n thin. they r those will not shun u or outcast u when u do something wrong. i have found those in bmt. eddie, hock, yz, edward, , farhan bryan, yao ming to name a few. these are the ppl who stood by me when e odds r down. these are the ppl who chiong with me. they are e ones who cheered n pushed me on like what i have done to thm. inter-motivation is e key to a good friendship.

bmt has been a memorable n enriching experience. as i embark onto my next phase of NS life, i will carry with me all e values i learnt in bmt with me to my next phase of training which most likely will be sispec. if there is a chance, i would like to go through bmt with those same bunch of ppl again. for without thm, bmt will be very dull.

to end this off. i find this quote very meaningful.

no matter how hard a day will be, the day will always come to an end

wat it means is simple. n matter how shitty yr day will be or how joyful it will be, it will always come to an end. e key is, to treasure the moments be it good or bad. cos it will come to end before u even know it. thats all i have to say. photos will be up shortly.

outwit. outclass. outshine. ORION! Platoon 1: Dare to Be Different

e final stretch...

finally, everything is goin to be over soon. ippt, soc n e gruelling 24km route march is over...did my 24km march yesterday evening. e whole thing is suppose to start at 3.30 but due to e rain, it got delayed n eventually, CO BMTC gave e green light to go ahead despite e CAT 1 weather...so, e whole of school 2 formed at e BMTC parade square for warm up in e rain, and off we go at 4.30 sharp.

e whole march went well although all of our morale was kind of low in e beginning.but in e end, all of us did it with nobody fell out. our morale got higher with every step. though, rainer almost fell out due to e injury he had, but under e encouragement of eddie, he went all e way. we are proud of you rainer. this 24km is not an easy walk. walking in e rain is no monkey business. before this, none of us believed we could go all the way. but with e encouragement of one another, we made it. we persevered on. we pushed ourselves on despite e odds. e moment we hit sispec, all of our spirits lifed. cos we know, once we conqured e slope, its all e way back to bmtc.and true enough, once over e slope, we sang non stop. we quickened our pace. cos in our hearts, we know e end is coming. few more steps to home. no words can describe e feeling e moment we hit e parade square. e smile on our faces. e sense of satisfaction. e feeling of everything is over. e joy of completing e 24km. we did it!

each n everyone of us deserve a clap n a pat on e back. of course, we ended e whole thing by tossing our commanders in e air n gave them some twiggies treatment... :) now that we r left with graduation parade, n 2 more days to POP, we memories we made here will be remembered for life. right here right now, i wolud wan to say thank you guys for e wonderful memories. e shit we went through together at field camp, sit test, soc, ippt. in fact everything. now that we have only a few days left together, but rest assured, this friendship will be carried on forever till e hit grey. e times spent together will not be forgotten.

let us all look forward to tuesday. before i end it off, i woul;d like to share a quote. though its juz a simple 3 words, it means alot. its this line that pushed me on in bmt.

NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
