Quote of the day

" When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up."

A firm believer of "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".

Whenever I say this, i always recall the gruelling tekaning session during NS. That was really the darkest period of my life. The tot of leaving behind my loved ones, stuck in a camp with the supposedly crazy commandos trainers and not forgetting the fair and chubby us fresh from the college.

I swear they really whacked the shit out of me. 80kg at enlistment to 65kg 2 months later. A trainer who was always running behind us shouting ,"Don't let me catch you.. if i catch you, you will be dead. I will make sure you get confined." Needless to say, I was sure they gave us some slack. How was it possible for a commando trainer who could run less than 9mins for 2.4km not to be able to catch up with a slighly overweight trainee who was wearing his No.4 uniform loaded with his SBO filled up with 8 sand cans? I am sure anyone would be able to catch up with me.

Anyway, it didn't kill me.... it make me stronger... literally... and physically.
