“Nurse loses her twins, then her limbs”

For those who had read The New Paper today will probably know how i felt. FYI, the headlines is “Nurse loses her twins, then her limbs”. It is a very saddening piece of article, and I think that I really need to take some time to pray for them.

This couple, their babies are due to be born in 3 months time. But sadly after 5 months of pregnancy, the mother was down with a freaking serious illness, and I mean freaking serious. Imagine this scenario; a person committing suicide by jumping of a building but fail to die, and instead ended up with broken limbs. Use this imagination and multiply by 10000000. That’s what this lady is going through.

She was diagnosed with an illness (i can’t remember what illness exactly), which takes the toll of her babies. Sad enough, that’s not the end. There were bacteria found in her blood which affect the amount of xxx  (I can’t remember either) in her blood and cause some of her limbs to turn dark and rot. And because of the rotting, her left hand was amputated till palm, right hand’s fingers amputated, and both legs amputated till calf.

If she had pass away from the illness, perhaps it’s not as bad. But now it’s another different kind of thing.

And I seriously think we should take some time to pray for them.

Dull dull boy

Alright, I’ve been receiving ‘sad’ news recently. It’s not really sad to the extent that it makes me cry and become emotional , but it’s enough to make me ponder a lot which I personally think, it’s not a very good thing. Because when we ponder, we think of many outcomes that might happen and of cause, these outcomes are not pleasant to us at all.

That’s the same for me, and because of these pondering,  it is making my life really dull nowadays.

So what’s the difference between dull and sad life? Of cause there is, and it’s a really fine line that separates dull and sad.

When you are sad you:

• don’t feel like doing anything at all.
• lose interest in almost everything.
• become a emo kid, go one corner draw circles.
• might eventually lead to taking drugs and smoke.
• or even abuse a crying baby and cause death to the infant.
  
• will create problems and become a public nuisance.
• affected people around you.
• become the headline in newspapers.
• if lucky might appear on television.
  

But when you are doing, you simply do things with a sian ji pua heart. Life still goes on, but everything looks grey to you.

And I’m seriously waiting for something happening to add colours back. Anything

1 year has passed

1 year ago, i ….

• was a recruit
• was in Tekong right now, perhaps just booked in.
• was filled with emotions in my heart that I just said goodbye to my civilian life.
• was botak.
• had been feeling emotional for 7 weeks.
• had a very good female friend who is willing to chat on the phone with me everyday.
• find DOTA and Red Alert 3 were my best weekend activity.
• just submitted my pink IC.
• just gotten my 11B.
• wore my thick and black specs.
• love my bunk mates.

And now, I’m finally a 1 year soldier. 1 more year to go, and I’ll be a free man. =)

Games and more games

Right, my Saturdays are filled with matches and it’s like getting in my way to do a lot of things. Chalets, friend’s birthday celebrations and some other stuffs, i seriously need proper planning.

Match tomorrow 530pm at 209 court. Hopefully my team and I can perform well to win. This Tampines GRC game is a breeze and hopefully we are able to clinch the top 2 position. It’s good to dream, but it takes extra efforts to make the dream come true.

No injuries for me please.

Prawning was fun

Fortunately I did not change my mind to go home this morning and proceed to prawn at Bishan. Indeed it paid off really well. For 3 hours with 2 rods, we caught a total of 20+ prawns + a freaking big fat one. And I didn’t know that prawn can have such a large and long pincer. Imba

After the prawning we proceed to Le Viet, the restaurant that i previously work at for dinner. The chef agreed to cook the prawns for us, and man that was the nicest dish that I’ve eaten that night. It’s better than bbqing pathetically w/o any seasoning. But it’s hard to find a chef that is willing to do the cooking for us.

Good day spent with friends. And i might consider going prawning again. =)

Nice ankle

I’m like so injury prone, keep on getting injure. 2 days away from competition and I’m suffering from a twisted ankle. But fortunately it’s not a very serious one.

I always thought that seeing the chinese sensei is effective for treating twisted ankle. But something change my perspective today. I went CGH and was given this paste to apply. I applied before I took a nap and when i woke up, the pain subside a lot. It’s really a lot better compare to the pain this morning when i wake up. Imba regeneration.

I think I can play in the competition. I think.

Spree ended

We lost to the same team twice, but not as bad as the first lose. We manage to put up a good fight as a team, but for myself I really think I did pretty bad. Oh well, top 16 is just so close and it was taken away.

Good thing is, i finally can remove all my culus on my feet which has been accumilated for super duper long. It feels so shiok and ‘airy’. Most of the parts had skin formed on it, but there is a small part which is still exposed flesh and is red in color. Totally no skin covering it.

I finally understand how those people who are skinned alive feels. RAW

Tough road ahead

That’s it, tomorrow is probably the last match for us. (Yes i know I have been saying this a lot of times) But really, we are against the team that we lost previously and the team is relatively strong. However, the difference of us now compared to then is our form and morale. After 3 matches in the loser bracket, we manage to pull ourselves together.

Hopefully, we can pull through in tomorrow’s match and go into top 16. Wish me good luck.

Victory, but comes with a price

This is probably the highest score that our team has ever gotten, and is the furthest that the team has even gone to. I have finally gotten my form and feel back, and I’m glad with my performance. But my muscle is aching like nobody’s business because I have not play that well and my body couldn’t cope with it.

Last match to go, against the team that we lost to in the first game. I heard that chances are pretty ok because it’s on a weekday, so those in army are unable to book out and some of them have already enlisted.

Once we won, we will go into second round and top 16. Jy Tampines North CSC.

tml is the day

Decisive matche tomorrow against Jalan Kayu. Both of us need the win to proceed on, and I think it will going to be a really tough match. Hopefully my team and i can perform well and get the final victory. Wish me luck.

And I’m really nervous.
