With Love

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

Let Me Love You

The Forest

Alas, The Cadre forced me and Ziq to spend the night in the forest.
Since 1 of us were supposed to have done so the night before and take turns.
We thought we could escape.
The second day of trekking in TMD made me more experienced, no doubt.
But it was very very tiring as well. By the time we finished, the day was going dark already.
Me and Ziq had a quick dinner, and rushed to the forest, where daylight was getting dimmer by the second.
By the time we reached, it was already dark. I tried to find a spot to set up my hammock but alas, there were no available trees.
I decided, to f*ck it and crash in with the cadets hahaha. Luckily I met an old BMT mate, who secured me a spot. I was already dead tired at this point.. 
Was about to unpack everything, and then...

'MEDIC!' someone shouted. 
I was furious.
'REALLY NOW...'
Me and an officer rushed in the dark to the direction of the shoutings.
We reached.
One of the cadet stepped on a mega huge caterpillar.
They burned it before I could see it.
Apparently, the fur got stuck on his feet?? It was like a set of splinters.
And it was super soft and hard to pull out, even with tweezers.
You're on your own with this one man. I said. Exasperated.
I couldnt do anything man.
This was out of my league.
We handed him the tweezer and he agreed to just try to take them out on his own.
Me and the officer trekked back to our area.
I walked past Buddy, who seemed to be enjoying his time.
When I reached my sleeping area, I let out a loud sigh of frustration.
'CAN THIS DAY GO ANY WORSE?!?!' I mentally screamed.
I was going crazy man.
By then it was pitch black.

I changed clothes, and laid on my groundsheet. Beneath me were uneven roots, but I didnt care.
I was under shelter and thats all that mattered.
Small thunder and lightning was heard but it didnt rain that night.
Thank God.
Me and Ziq chatted for a while, and then he went to sleep.
Me? I couldnt even sleep.
A giant grasshopper jumped in my direction as I shined my torchlight.
Then it jumped god knows where I couldnt even find it.
I quickly switched off the light, not daring to shine anymore.
Don't know what giant creature would jump at me next.
And then, moments later.
A spider, the size of MY PALM, crawled around our area. 
The cadets panicked and asked me to kill it.
I couldnt do it.
'What do you mean you can't???' they said.
I breathed in a deep breath, took my boots, and slammed on it.
I heard it scattering.
It disappeared. Into the night.
That night, I slept in fear.
Barely could catch a break. 
The next morning, we hurried out of the forest.
I couldnt wait to get out of that HELLHOLE and back to JV.
Definitely a night to remember.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally made plans.
But I can feel it.
The distance at this point.
It's like... an obvious gap.
Am I not trying hard enough?
But then again, I don't want to.
If it happens, it'll happen.
I don't wanna expect anything anymore.
Just let me love you.

Love, Eran.

I aint tryna rush you,
But goddamn I'm a mess.

Feel No Ways

Page 554

The Shower

JV was a depressing state.
No lights.
No proper toilet.
No proper water.
We split up, and I followed a group to TMD.
TMD was fucked up omg.
It was a culture shock for me.
The entrance was muddy, and it was the type where there wasnt much support and you could slip and fall to your untimely demise anytime.
'Omgomgomg don't fall don't fall.' I kept chanting in my head.
The load on my was just as annoying.
Now I have to worry about getting myself injured too.
We placed the mission enemies and luckily, I had to stay with the first one while the rest continued.
I dropped my load, exhausted, drenched. Surrounded by the canopies of nature.
I chitchatted with the cadet who was stationed with me, until the mission started and people passed by me.
We went back the same route by 3-4pm and the trekking was just as challenging. 
I could not wait to get myself out of that hellhole.
And the thought of going through this same route another 3 more times was demoralising.

I quickly scrambled out of there, gasping for air.
By the time I returned to the admin area, I was drenched again, and dazed. Clearly this was taking its toll on me.
The cadets went to their harbouring area, while me and the medics had maggi for dinner.
The Cadre decided to bring us to the river for a quick shower. We followed.
We literally trekked down all the way to the river.
My gosh, I would have given a second thought knowing how far it was.
But by the time we reached.. it was worth it.

The river was beautiful. Slightly murky. But running fast and cool.
I stripped to my pants and went down the unstable steps. Into the cool running water. Stepping onto the hard rocks barefooted.
'Eh, why you wear pants? Take off la. Shy ah?' LFT R playfully smirked at me as he splashed water at me. 
I mumbled, taking them off.
'SIALAH, you like never wear anything sia.' he commented on my nude-coloured undies and laughed.
Everyone did hahaha.
'DONT LOOK LA OI!' I shouted, covering myself and heading in the water.
It was DAMN NICE OMG.
I felt.. refreshed instantly. Words can't express how relaxing it was.
R passed me his soap and we bathed and laughed in the river till it started to get dark.

We then headed back.
I changed, and sat at the stairs of the ammo area.
I started having small chats with B, who was in the area.
He was.. friendly. Very well spoken.
I really wanted to get to know him more. But alas, we changed sleeping locations.
As the nightfall came... the sound of the forest did too. 
It was creeepy. But majestic in a way.
I can't describe it.
You have to be there to experience it.
It was pitch black at night.
But we slept peacefully in the admin area anyway.
What a day...

-----------------------------------------------------------------

No new intake..
Omg. 
Thats crazy.
And unfair.
It's been a month since I stepped into camp.
And it already feels slightly foreign to me..
Some people've changed.
Some just the same.
But its just so diff now.
I feel weird.
Like Im out of place.
Like this place wasnt what it used to be.
Cant feel no ways.
Cant feel a way.

Love, Eran.


I've stopped listening.

Current Song Mood: Drake - Feel No Ways

I should be downtown, whipping on the way to you
You got something that belongs to me
Your body language says it all
Despite the things you said to me
Who is it that's got you all gassed up?
Changing your opinion on me
I was only gone for the last few months
But you don't have the time to wait on me

I try with you
There's more to life than sleeping in
And getting high with you
I had to let go of us to show myself what I could do
And that just didn't sit right with you
And now you're trying to make me feel a way, on purpose
Now you're throwing it back in my face, on purpose
Now you're talking down on my name, on purpose
And you don't feel no way, you think I deserve it

Feel a way, feel a way, young nigga feel a way
I've stopped listening to things you say
Cause you don't mean it anyway, yeah
Feel a way, feel a way, young nigga feel a way
Maybe we should have just did things my way
Instead of the other way

I tried with you
There's more than life than sleeping in
And getting high with you
I had to let go of us to show myself what I could do
And that just didn't sit right with you
And now you're trying to make me feel a way, on purpose
Now you're throwing it back in my face, on purpose
Now you're talking down on my name, on purpose
And you don't feel no way, you think I deserve it

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Feel a way, feel a way, young nigga feel a way
I've stopped listening to things you say
Feel a way, feel a way, young nigga feel a way
I've stopped listening to things you say

Black & Blue

The Chopper

The bag was bigger than I was. 
And definitely as heavy as me.
I struggled to carry it, bruising my knee in the process.
'Ohmygod' I exclaimed.
As I slowlyyyy walked out of bunk to the meeting point.
The weight was unbearable.
After inspection, we proceeded to Phoenix.
It was hell. -
I could barely breathe, as the hill got steeper, and my frail body got pressed down.
By the time we reached on top, I could barely feel my body.
I was covered in sweat.
I sighed as I dropped the load.
The cadets around me noticed.
'Wow, how heavy is your bag? Definitely heavier than ours.'
They tried carrying it. Asked me a lot of questions. I felt like some celebrity at some point.
Being bombarded by paparazzi.
But most of all I felt dead tired. And it was only just the beginning.
The chopper came for each detail. 
I was in the last. Apparently with LFT R too.
He smirked at me as I carried my heavy bag as the last chopper ride came.
The wind was so strong, and I faced away from it, so that the sand wouldn't go in my eyes.
When it landed, we ran to its direction. 
I RAN. With all that load. Crazy.
I lost my gortex jacket in the process, as I shielded my eyes, and boarded the chopper.
Seat belt buckled, crammed. The chopper flew off.
It was interesting. As I felt the world around me revolved.
A little like a rollercoaster ride.
Except.. there was a possibility of crashing.
In about 15 minutes we arrived at our destination.
JV.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Another day wasted I guess.
Wasted pondering on life.
Well not completely.
I guess I was finally able to get my ass off and be productive.
It's my last day off.
I'm finally headed back to camp tomorrow.
It's been so long.
Who knows, maybe something new will be awaiting.

I've somehow lost my faith.
Battling my inner demons.
I need to renew it somehow.
I need to fight on.
Till black & blue.
Like a wounded warrior.

Love, Eran.

Fight on.

Current Song Mood: Sia - Black And Blue

Break down, tears fall to the ground

Tell myself: Do it, nothing can be found
When you’re a fighter
You’re a fighter
You’re a fighter, fight on baby

Somedays I’m sure I’ve lost the faith

Somedays I cannot find my faith
But I just fight on
I just fight on
I just fight on baby, baby

And I am Wounded Warrior

And now that the enemy is close and in
I am a Wounded Warrior
Looking for someone to let me in

Black and blue, I’m begging you

Take me in, I’m surrendering
Black and blue, but if I’m with you
If I’m with you, I’ll live to fight althrough

I’ll let go, walking into the unknown

If I surrender, if I lay my arms down
Am I a fighter?
Am I a fighter?
Cause I’ve been fighting so long baby
And I Am Wounded Warrior

And now that the enemy is close and in

I am Wounded Warrior
Looking for someone to let me in

Black and blue, I’m begging you

Take me in, I’m surrendering
Black and blue, but if I’m with you
If I’m with you, I’ll live to fight althrough

I am Wounded Warrior

Now that the enemy is close and in
I am Wounded Warrior
Looking for someone to let me in

I am Wounded Warrior

Now that the enemy is close and in
Close and in
Looking for someone to let me in, oh

Black and blue, I’m begging you

Take me in, I’m surrendering
Black and blue, but if I’m with you
If I’m with you, I’ll live to fight althrough

River Of Tears

Page 552

The River

Our first cover.
I was nervous and excited at the same time.
It wasnt my first time sailing through an actual river..
Vision of river rafting from last year came to mind.
We pushed the boats to the river, did boat drills, put on our life jackets and boarded.
It was so relaxing.
The wind blowing in my face as we sped through the nature. 

We got off at 4A, where I stayed on land and watched them do Croc Drills.
Apparently there were people who kept Crocs as pets.
I shuddered at the thought.
Made me wonder.
How safe is this place???
Anything could happen.

The cover started.
I watched them cross the river.
Them, wet. Me, dry.
Ok not completely haha.
The sun was inconsistent.
And I found myself drenched.

The boatmen were nice. There was the coxen, and the shooter. They said I looked like one of their past Encik. Even my smile. They kept commenting on it the whole day haha. Even told one of my Cadre, LFT R. Even he agreed immediately. 
I had no idea who they were talking about. But I guess I took it lightly and as a compliment.

After they were all done, we sailed back to 4B.

We pushed the boats back, and boarded the bus back to camp.
Finally, what an interesting experience it was.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tell me, am I being a fool again?
Why does it feel like I always am.
I always get into this situation.
It's always me on one side.
Where are you on the other?
I feel the change.
I'm tired.
Just watch me drown.
In this river of tears.

Love, Eran.

I'll set sail and drift away.

Current Song Mood: Alessia Cara - River Of Tears

Still got the flowers that you sent
And the note you wrote that said we're meant to be forever
I keep them all as evidence
In a drawer under the mirror, filled with empty promises
I don't know why
I keep letting you lie to me
Hard as I try
It seems I can't break away
I thought that you would be the hero
Come and save the day
But you're a villain
Your sins unforgiven

I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
Go 'head and wish me well
I'll cry a wishing well
I'll fly before I fail
I'll set sail and drift away
So I won't need you here
Love sinks and hope floats
In a river of tears
In a river of tears

I catch your scent in every wind
And I recall the love we had
I can't pretend that I don't miss you
Every now and then
But the hurt is for the better
Moving on, it's now or never
Lost in the tide, I can't keep my pillows dry
Like there's a sea in my eyes
I realize that sometimes love brings you flowers
Then it builds you coffins
And far too often
We end up falling to our demise

I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
Go 'head and wish me well
I'll cry a wishing well
I'll fly before I fail
I'll set sail and drift away
So I won't need you here
Love sinks and hope floats
In a river of tears
In a river of tears

Cry me a river, build myself a bridge
I'm over this, can't let memories become the death of me
I'm glad to see everything that you are
And I believe that you are everything I needed
But I don't need no more

I'm going down, and you have watched me drown
In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream
Under the waves, I've found the strength to say
The river of tears has washed me clean
Go 'head and wish me well
I'll cry a wishing well
I'll fly before I fail
I'll set sail and drift away
So I won't need you here
Love sinks and hope floats
In a river of tears
In a river of tears

Faded

Page 551

The Arrival

We left Changi Airport.
The plane ride was unexpectedly comfortable.
Meals and a small pillow was provided.
Wow...
The thought of flying again was surreal.
Especially.. to Indonesia.
The last time I was here, was a year ago, for a completely different reason.
I started feeling emotional.
My mind wandered as I stared out the small plane window. 
We flew off, and 2 hours later, we reached.
It was around 12am.
We took a bus to JA Camp and spent the night there.

The next morning, we had breakfast.
I mentally said to myself; alright, blend in. Be cool. Don't make yourself stand out.
We were queueing for food. There were cadets in front of us.
One of the officers, urged them to go first.
Me being me (half-awake), I thought he meant us (the support staff) as well.
I followed them (LOL).
He turned to me and said out loud;
'YOU CADET MEH?'
The ones around him laughed.
I got caught off guard and went back.
'What a way to start the day'.. I muttered to myself.
After breakfast, we took a long ferry ride (3 hours) off from the mainland.
They played Civil War and Deadpool (both I've watched) and I was pretty impressed with the ride. Had a good nap, then we reached our stop.
The sun was blazing HOT, a big contrast from the chilly cold ferry ride.

We took another short bus ride to LK Camp, where we unpacked and changed to green and black.
I wore my purple socks cause.. I packed all my white ones in my kit bag and it hadn't arrive yet.
As we were going through the camp for our orientation, one of the Cadre pointed me out.
'Hey you, wheres your socks? Not wearing ah?'
I pulled them up.
'Eh, why your socks so special?'
'They're in my kit bag, it hasn't arrived...'
'Oh, ok. I'll let you off this time. Next time you'll kena.'
I quietly nodded.
'JEEEE Syah, what a way to not make yourself stand out.'  I was mentally cursing myself.
Those around me giggled and smirked.

We finished the tour, had lunch (the food was amazinggggg) and chilled in the bunk.
The next few days were pretty relaxed.

I laid in bed, staring into the blank spaces of the ceiling,
As the hustling around me kept on going.
I was relaxed, quiet, alone.
3 days had passed.
James Bay's 'Let It Go' was playing.
How true.
I felt like I was letting everything go back in SG.
Where were you?
What were you doing?
Will your feelings change in these 3 weeks?
Will.. mine?
I wouldn't know.
Felt like I was floating around in emptiness.
We haven't been texting.
Do you still care?
Or have you found someone new already?
Or am I overthinking, just like I always do?
Maybe, maybe.
The possibilities are endless.
And all this thinking were giving me a headache.
Too tired to think about it.
Too tired.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know why I feel so uneasy.
Ever since I came back.
Is it Christina?
Is it the change of feelings I've had recently?
Is it.. just me?

Where are you now?
You're so.. faded.


Love, Eran. 

Was it all in my fantasy?
Were you only imaginary?


Current Song Mood: Conor Maynard  - Faded (Alan Walker Cover)

You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us?
Another star
You fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alive

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Was it all in my fantasy?
Where are you now?
Were you only imaginary?

Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now?
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded

These shallow waters never met what I needed
I'm letting go a deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea. I'm breathing alive

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Under the bright but faded lights
You've set my heart on fire
Where are you now?
Where are you now?

Where are you now?
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now?
Another dream
The monster's running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost, I'm faded

Safe & Sound

Page 550

I'm back.
It's been a long 3 weeks, but I've made it through. We all did.
Met so many people, helped out in a lot of ways, and experienced things that I never expected to.
It's been so tough at times.
But hey, tough times don't last, tough men do.
I'm just happy to be back safe & sound.

:)

Will be blogging about it more in time to come.

In other words, came back to shocking news by Andrew..
My heart sank when I read the news.
About this beautiful young girl whose life got stolen too soon.
Absolutely gutted.
So talented. So passionate.
So lovable. So tragic.
RIP Christina Grimmie.
May you rest in peace.


You're safe & sound now.

Love, Eran.

Just close your eyes.
You'll be alright.
No one can hurt you now.

Current Song Mood: Christina Grimmie - Safe & Sound (Taylor Swift Cover)

I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, "I'll never let you go"
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window darling
Everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby
Even when the music's gone
Gone

Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)
La La (La La)
Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh
La La (La La)

Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light,
You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh
