i am back from Taiwan! was in Taiwan for nearly a month since May, for military training if you would like to put it. It was tough, both mentally and physically. our ALICE packs were nearly 30++kg, and we had to walk at least 20km a day, mind you, not only on flat ground, but up the hills and mountains around our training ground. The best thing of all, i got stung by wasps, passed out after 30 mins, and had to spend 3 days in the hospital. the doctor said i was lucky, cos a few more stings, i would not be sitting here in my home typing and updating my blog; rather, i would be in a coffin by now. kinda scary aye? i can still remember the bright light when i first woke up, i thought i was dead... i really thought this was it... and i was asking God, is this it? this is all? this is how i die? far far away from home?

Thank God, i am not dead, close to, but not dead... scared the shit out of my parents...

Am undergoing Airborne course now, really exciting period for me now, especially after the gruelling training in Taiwan, i am a step closer to becoming a Commando. then again, its not all fun, after all, jumping off 1000ft is not a "play-play" kinda thing, you can break your leg, become paralyze and all that crap.

i try not to think about all these crap, try to remain positive, and pray that the Lord will protect me everytime i jump.



This is what you do before you jump, just pray that i will not be jumping like them, into a battlefield.

life is difficult in Commando, The Daily Bread helps to encourage me, at the same time, my friends, family are constantly there to help and encourage me. sometimes, i would think about you, just briefly... its funny how 6 years have passed, and you sometimes just appear in my thoughts...

sometimes i wonder, do i ever cross your mind?

The Airborne Creed

I am an Airborne trooper! A paratrooper!
I jump by parachute from any place in flight.
I volunteered to do it knowing well the hazards of my choice.
I am an elite trooper, a sky trooper, a shock trooper, an elite trooper.
I blaze the way to far-flung goals-behind, before, above the foe's front line.
I never find a fellow trooper I cherish as a sacred trust the lives of the men with whom I serve. Leaders have my fullest loyalty, and those I lead never find me lacking.
I have pride in the Airborne.
I never let it down.
In peace I do not shirk the dullest duty nor protest the toughest training. In battle I fear no foe's ability nor under-estimate his prowess, power and guile.
I fight him with all my might and skill-ever alert to evade capture or escape a trap.
I never surrender though I may be the last. I belong to a proud and glorious team......
the Airborne, the Army, my country.
I am a trooper of the sky!
I am my Nation's best. In peace and war I never fail.
Anywhere, anytime, in anything......
I am Airborne!
