Ex ORD Brutal. That's all i can say about the upcoming Ex Switchblade which is certainly my last before i'm no longer a part of the 'swift and decisive' force. Just as how i had began my 2 years of service with a 2 week confinement on Tekong, i'm about to end it with a 2 week confinement in PLC. talk about dramatic timing. at least i'll have plenty of time left to look back on the 2 years and weigh it's positive and negative contributions to my absolutely stalemate life. sad to say, not all of us have a life as exciting as any of the 11 men on the Bolton team, where every week is a fight for survival, if not personal pride. I say Bolton are the real SAF. On one of my downer moments last week, i was thinking how grief or anguish at times can be as cheap as scoring 5 marks short of a perfect score on a test paper or having more acne than your peers to being as vivid as a failed marriage of 20 years or being discarded by your family for having contracted the fatal illness AIDS. i sort of detest the people who cheapen the value of misery for their own selfish reasons, just because sympathy is the next best thing. should feeling sad be an absolute or relative emotion? for everyone's own convenience, we each decide our own scale of sorrow,which isn't so much of a bad thing. it's like youtube; everyone on the freakin' web shares his or her own experience with every other he or she who wishes to watch. so you get a wide variety of material that may be somewhat personal. but as a result of the accessibility of the net, every cow monkey donkey who has a handphone camera or video camera gets their 3 minutes of fame online. so with the amount of quantity comes with an even wider scale of quality. the internet might have just damned us all. |
