Never forgotten.

My secondary school classmate took his
own life the day before. His parents found
him in the garage with his motorcycle running.
He suffered from carbon monoxide poisoning.

Although I was never close to him, we had our
share of times together. Without him secondary
school life would never be the same.

occasionally, we'd bump into each other during
our polytechnic days. Never did I expect such a
thing would happen. He left no last words to anyone.

The only conclusion was that many factors led to
this tragedy. Loneliness for one. He never did
communicate much with his parents or had many friends
that we knew of.
He also expressed his pressing concerns about the army.
I used to hear how much he hated going to the army but
shrugged it off.

We're only 21 of age, so much to live for, so much to see!
Nothing really sank in till I stood in front of the coffin,
with his weeping parents by my side.
Times like this forces one to reflect about the
simple things we take for granted.

There were few that were close to him.
Some exploited him, used him.
In times of need, you're my buddy.
Otherwise, stay away.

In FJ's words "he chose his way."
I don't know if that's a correct sentence
to say, but he is gone now.
All that are left are memories.

Goodbye, my friend.

Thinking straight.


I came across this thread discussing the idea
of sending local troops to suppress the violence
outbreak in East timor.

The threadstarter was going on about how the trip
would be beneficial to his character development
and that the army could use this opportunity to
get some actual wartime experience.

Seriously, this person is either stupid or insane.
He claims that if the army beckons, without doubt,
he will go. Fuck tell that to me again when some
triggerhappy dude points a loaded AK-47 in your face
while bullets tear between your dripping wet uniform.

Hey im gonna be enlisting soon, but NS to me at this
point in time is, doing 6 pull ups and completing my
2.4km run in 11minutes?

But the fact is, IF(a really really big if I hope)
there comes a day that I am in the army and war
breaks out, I actually have to kill someone or a whole
lot. Or, get killed.

So, Im not really too excited with regards to his preaching
about personal values by sending troops over to flex
our military muscles. Getting killed in foreign land for
no rhyme or reason isnt particularly enticing.
Plus, I heard to consolation from the gahment is probably
a military burial and a few thousand bucks for your
distraught family.

Will you go?

And finally the old makes way for the new.
I'd say the Honda civic is a whole new league from
the older 1.6litre versions.

Sleek curves extend from the exterior to the inside.
White headlights(that I always complain about) coupled
with the oh so useless forklights, provide ample if not,
irritatingly excessive headlights to blind the vehicle in
front.
The digital tachometer and engine info displays are a delight,
beautiful really. First look in the interior throws you into a
spaceship's cockpit. Spacious and comfortable.
First push on the acceleration takes the car into a standing broad
jump - from a fullstop to a Whoa-slow-down! kinda speed. After
getting the hang of it, its really a breeze down the road.
Quiet, smooth & responsive.

An absolute joy!
