So, there went my only leave of the year. It was kind of wasted though the day was quite fruitful; I could actually get an off for the training at Mandai camp, if not for the ugly people. I was there half an hour earlier, reading outside the administration door in a cool position. I …

Totally burnt out, depressed and devastated
I’m so worn out and my most inner soul is burnt. I haven’t come to this depressed state that I feel as if I’m going to break down any moment. Maybe I’ve been too happy-go-lucky these days that I put myself together when the problem arouses. It’s the greatest setback after so long. I’ve tried …

Denial of eligibility
It’s a game of wits, courage and determination. When I asked 007 if Clement had emailed him the details about the formation volleyball, which Clement told me he had, 007 denied it. Next was the same evil scheme again, using my physiotherapy appointments as an excuse to further deny my eligibility for the game. The …
Peaceful day
This morning I woke up in peace. It was a bit later than usual as I was going to MMI (Military Medical Institute) instead of camp. I was early but I had a long wait even though I was the first patient. I was supposed to go for traction for my back before a review …
A long holidays
Finally it’s kind of a long weekends for me. The best thing is that I need not step into camp for the next five days. I’m having physiotherapy session tomorrow in the morning. This time I’d definitely get more advises for my knees, finally, from the MMI physiotherapist. Actually I’ve seen Kian Wee’s legs and …
Unmovable
The pain strike so suddenly that I almost dropped on the floor completely; I was paralysed on both legs, looking worse off a beggar. The torments and tears rounded me up, and I just wished for an instant death. It was just the beginning of the training and my enthusiasm was fiery hot. CPT Phua …
When it's nearer
I never expect it to be so soon, that I’m being called up for the inter-formation training for Signals. However, it’s weird that many people are involved. There’re too many problems that I’m facing and of course the most critical one is my injuries. I can never spike when my back is aching or strengthless, …
Uneasy volleyball
Playing volleyball in the same team with old men who couldn’t dig, set, spike and didn’t even know the three-touch system was far too a terrible nightmare, until they started to nag around and underestimate your skill and professional in the game, you ought to point a gun at their heads to shut them up. …
I'm not just sleepy
I’ve been a freaky zombie in camp these few days. With the aids of nose allergic that causes tired eyes, my terribly lack of sleep makes my face more pale. But sometimes, I look too quiet to avoid being involved in any dramatic conversation with any potential actor. I fear of having friendly talks and …
Stepping out one more time
I’m stepping out of my life as the inter-signals volleyball game approaches. I don’t know if it’d do me good or bad, but it seems that I’m heading towards a no-return route. I met 2WO Soh this morning and he called 007 in front of me to seek permission for Kian Wee (Jianwei) and I …
