The Fallen Soldier

It was the last day of JV.

We were gonna trek out of the area at last.

I couldnt wait!

I ended up in the first party, where it was only me, the Cadre (whom I didnt like ugh) and a signaller.

We trekked together, going through a different route, but by now I was an expert and careful with my steps. We managed to go all the way past the details. 

At some point, we split up and I stayed behind at the last enemy man.

A cadet came with cuts on his hands and I treated him. Then I moved off again, walking past a lot of guys.

'Wah fit sia this guy.' an officer said to me as I walked past him.

I gave him a small smile (But inside I was dying)

I waited at a spot for a while, and once they were all done with their mission, I trekked back to the end.

It was a loooong way to the end. But I made it. 

An officer was waiting at the end. He directed me to a diff path than the rest, down the slope.

That's where I met the rest of my medics/drivers. I was sooo happy to see their faces!!

I sat down on the slope, in the shady area, exhausted. We were all chatting, laughing, in high spirits.

When suddenly. A cry for help was heard. Ziq, who had his bag with him, quickly rushed up the tall hill. I reluctantly followed behind, carrying my small stores with me. As I slowly trekked up the steep hill, I overheard the officers.

'Who is it?'

'It's N...'

As soon as I heard his name, my legs automatically shot up the hill. Panting, my eyes searched the crowd for him. It was Buddy.

As dramatic as it was I immediately rushed to him, grabbing his hand, and he squeezed mine so tightly. He was shivering, numb, half-conscious, gasping for air.

We did all the procedures, calmed him down, and I stayed by his side all the way till he was well again. Everyone there got to witness that moment. So shaky, but I managed to maintain my composure. I was so scared. He was recovering and that's all that mattered. He started tearing up and grabbing my face. And I almost did as well.

After everything was over, I just sat beside him, feeling super drained, but so so glad it was over. Soon, we were smiling and laughing again.

It was a moment where I was glad I was around. Because if I wasnt, I probably would never forgive myself.

Sorry I couldnt come to your party Buddy!

Love you okay <3 <3

Busy day with family at Geylang today.

Finally got our raya clothes!

For once they learned their lesson to buy earlier, unlike last year hahaha.

Also, Ma paid for it so why not LOL.

The last time I bought raya clothes, it was to impress somebody...

But now, heck, I don't even care what I'm gonna wear this year haha.

Also today, I wanna commemorate Christina Grimmie who got buried today.

I watched her memorial video.. and it touched me deeply. How she touched her friends and families.

It was full of emotions. Tears. Laughter. I really enjoyed witnessing that event.

It was a really spiritual and positive one.

I'm gonna be listening to her songs all week. Studying her soul.

At least she left her legacy through her voice and music.

And I hope one day, I can have the same impact.

With Love, Eran.

Current Song Mood: Christina Grimmie - With Love

You called me out and taught me tough
With love, with love.
You fought my flaws, my teeth, my claws
With love, with love.
Cause every time I'm slipping away from myself,
You're the one that moves me like nobody else.

Cause when I'm down and I'm done,
And I'm coming unplugged
When I'm ready to fall
You're the one always holding me up
With love

Oh no no

Your tongue won't tie, you'll always find
The truth yeah you do
But still you smile despite the lines
I drew for you

Cause every time I'm slipping away from myself,
You're the one that moves me like nobody else. Oh no.

Cause when I'm down and I'm done,
And I'm coming unplugged
When I'm ready to fall
You're the one always holding me up
With love

Love, Love, Love, Love

When I'm down, when I'm coming unplugged. no. (Ohh)
You're always there with love (Love)
When I'm done, love
When I'm out, when I fall
You're always always always always there

When I'm down and I'm done,
And I'm coming unplugged
When I'm ready to fall
You're the one always holding me up

When I'm down and I'm done,
And I'm coming unplugged
When I'm ready to fall
You're the one always holding me up
With love
