It's Just So Happening!!!

Hey guys... Guess what?! I'm back after missing in action for so many months... Haha... No time to update due to time commitment to the Army and the only free time I had is left with the weedends... I'm getting along fine and well but still rather sick of the routine and regimental lifestyle in the Army... Confinements and extra duties are easily awarded if you made silly mistakes but luckily for me... I haven't got one yet.... Hahaha... But come to think about it... I was actually gonna be punished by my sergeant but I think he gave me a chance... Phewz...

The story goes like this:
Our company went outfield which was somewhere located near Lim Chu Kang for section battle drill... Our section comprises of 7 men including the sergeant and we went for our missions... It was then when we were halfway through the movement and all of us were reloading our ammos when i accidentally misfired! Wtf am i doing?! A loud bang juz went off and my sergeant was pretty furious but i explained to him that the round juz went off without me squeezing the trigger. He believed me and many thanks to him.. He only punished me to write a 500 words essay...... A close escape it was manz!!!



Me wearing a gas mask for chemical defence.... Cool yea??

Anyway I had completed the basic section leader course in SISPEC and I'm posted to Nee Soon Camp to learn to become a combat engineer specialist. But it was against my wish that I had to be put out of course due to my knee injury substained when I was running the SOC few weeks back in SISPEC... Had to consult the specialist at HUH and he analysed that I had a anterior cruciate ligament tear and lateral meniscus tear on my left knee and that I need to go for arthroscopic meniscoplasty... Which means I had to go for an operation... Gosh.. I was very nervous while waiting in the operation room and a doctor came to tell me what they will be operating on and I was put on with an oxygen mask soon after tat... Without realising anything... I was already put to sleep and the next moment i woke up... The operation was already over but my knee was wrapped in a thick bandage and I was feeling nausea, drowsy and there was complete numbness on my leg... I juz felt f**king bad that.. Totally lost my appetite and even vomitted...


Getting hospitalized ain't a very good thing at all...

Well... I was discharged from NUH on Friday night and I will be resting at home for a period of time... Guess I'm gonna rot at home... Movement ain't gonna be easy for me moving with a pair of crotches and a knee support brace attached to my knee.... I WANT TO RECOVER COMPLETELY!! Having to stay at home all day and facing the computer almost the entire day is making me tired and damn bored...... Arghz!!!!
