Quick refresh

I'm home! after 6 days in OCS. haha. it's supposed to be a 3 week confinement, but i got to book out yesterday because i was sent to hospital for a dislocated shoulder.

In the morning there was a 5k run, and i was chionging with my plt friend kiap yong who also from hcjc. There was a left turn that was narrow and in the forest, and naturally we tended to keep close to curve. BUt, the curve was like subtly sloping to the left, which made it really to balance, and kiapyong lost balance and jumped off down to the bushes on the left. I was wondering how he could fall off when i started to lose balance myself. I tripped on the path and fell forwards, and used both my arms to breakfall. My right shoulder was already weak and so the huge impact threw it out of place. Ouch. This is the first time my shoulder came off completely, it totally sucks.

Kiap yong brought an instructor to me, who lead me to walk the remaining path all the way back to wingline, where the safety rover was supposed to be but was not because another wing coped our rover. Rover finally came and drove me to SAFTI med center, but it was not open and after some deliberation they finally decided mine was quite bad and sent me to Pasir Lebar camp med center in an ambulance. All the bumps and humps all around the camps really killed my arm. At PLC med center, the waiting continued... thanks to all the procedures and processing that they had to do. After a long wait the doc was ready and asked me in. I was a quarter dead so he injected some pain killers and Trieed to put back my arm, pulling and all. That took away another half of my life. The pain you wont understand, haha, as a guy i was screaming and crying like mad. And so, they sent a 3/4 dead me in ambulance to NUH, and of course through all the road humps again.

After my arm had been hanging on my muscles and ligaments for about 2 hours, we finally alighted at NUH. Was wheeled into emergency, where did some procedures and waiting. There was a form that required me to rate how much pain i was upon 10, i rated 9.3. Finally put on bed, and the doc, seeing that i was 1/5 life left, put me to sleep. That was about 1030, 2hours plus past the fall haha. They put oxygen tubes in my nose, a plug on my arm and some funky plugs around my body. I woke up around 230 and walaa all was fine my arm was put on a sling and my shoulder was back in place. A happy ending =)

Terribly painful but it was quite an experience, haha. and i went home with the funky round plug things on my body as souvenirs.

Arm still hurts now got to go back someday for checkup. Hope things turn out fine, Jesus watches over me anyway :)





OCS feels really different from bmt. For one at least we have some pride with us, and that provides us with some motivation. The campus is really nice too! nice bunks, and i like the shower place. Cosy place, makes you not feel like getting off the bed every morning. Maybe that's a form of mental torture hahaha, kidding. Training is fine so far, but we do running everyday, sometimes twice a day. I love running, and it feels like i just joined a cross country team or something. Oh circuit trainings rock too haha. Another good thing is that we do our exercises on concrete ground or tracks, unlike bmt where we do on barren fields which turn to mud everytime we perspire. Oh yeah the food is good, and the weather is much better than tekong, which is so much hotter than mainland .Got many ppl i know too! Kevin Seah and Kenneth foo from acsi =). and there are quite alot of tchs people, weilun hongkai kiapyong. PS hongkai thinks pamela is very cute.





Ahh. civilian life, i really miss it. Somehow in camp i seem to be missing every single thing, NS makes me treasure everything outside of it even more. I miss my art buddies, the fun times staying up in school till midnight finishing up our art projects, us doing retarded stuff and childish games in school. our 8250s. Insulting each other's artwork.

Miss my classmates, our sec 3 trip to chiang mai, our 2005 class chalet, our rubberband/cardboard wars in class, pushing each other off the amphi ledge. haha. Oh yeah our fun water spurting lab sessions, and we sure had fun poisoning yijun's distilled water thing hahaha. Still remember throwing paper aeroplanes out of the window to the cca block too. Sec school was probably the most carefree and enjoyable time of my life.

The prefects, our patrols, all our tekan camps, the cheering sessions, our crap, our dances, our rehearsals at fish's house, lessons at Les's place. our dumb gay videos at suntec. The nice boardroom, the cockroaches, the big long cuddly snake, the classroom raids. Great times.

My hc friends, my great study mates, the warm yet foreign kinda atmosphere. The studying together, the bio notes, the plant repro notes. The double bass, the ensemble, playing in VCH, the band, the yumin thing haha. The great random hi-bye friends. Caring and concerned schoolmates, the classmates who have so supported me through the 2 years. All the eye candies who brightened up my days. Project work, our outstanding HI154, Our kickass video. The class band, the chinese songs. No Man's Land band and our band auditions. The abel darren john wx band during the pre-enlistee days.

The sailors, my seniors, my brother, our post-training warcraft sessions, our beach soccer at the old europa sea sports club. Pulling boats, the storms, the team, Timothy lim, uncle tony. The jasmine thing was kinda exciting too. haha. Hmm, the skipping stones..




But i wont be a sad boy anymore, departures are just frequent passings in life. So that's it. im gonna laze around till i book in at night.




To you and all: Thanks for visiting, nothing goes unappreciated. Takecare and have a nice day everyday! :)
