Tuesday, November 25, 2008Time passes exceptionally fast whenever you're enjoying.The same goes for my relationship. Back then, I was actually waiting for my enlistment while she was having her holidays. So practically We saw each other almost everyday. My enlistment letter came some time in May and I was suppose to enlist on the 9th of September while her birthday was on the 19th of September. I knew there was no way I will be enlisting on that day when it's the first birthday we're gonna spend together. Immediately I phoned Mindef to ask about it. "Hi can I know why is it that I've passed my IPPT and I still need to enlist into the PTP batch" "I think your IPPT has expired." "Expired? I thought I just took it like sometime back?" "It's only valid for a year you can check your date it should be reflected on your cert" I realised it was valid only till June... No choice but to re-take at TPY sports complex. Together with Nick, both of us booked for a slot and went to re-take our IPPT. My static stations all cleared and it was the last station--- the 2.4km run which I fail. I knew I had to clear it no matter what and on my 2nd IPPT attempt I finally pass. We celebrated her first birthday at Sentosa and even before I knew it, I was taking the ferry to tekong on the 7th of Oct. Everything seem to change after I enlisted. The time we spent together seem to be far and few and because of this we often had arguements. Nonetheless every book out I knew I wanted to see her and no one else. A few days before my field camp, my phone rang it was Mandy on the line. I could hear sobbing. "Ah ru..." "Why...?" "I... "*sobbing uncontrollably* *Damn anxious" "What happened???" "I just now go see doctor with Mummy..." *Still sobbing* "Then???" "The Doctor say I got tumour in my stomach..." *My whole world came crashing down...* "Okie dear don't worry ... Everything is gonna be alright okie.." "I very scared now.." "Just relax think of the bright side.. I call you in a while k..." I hung up the phone and I seem to have lost my mind. I didn't know what to do. I went to have a chat with John and Ben, both of them suggested I talk to our PC LTA Ibkaar... "Sir, can i talk to you..." "Okie come in..." "Sir... *I held back my tears* "My gf got tumour in her stomach..." Having completed that sentence I just broke down. I told him exactly what Mandy told me earlier on. Our field camp was just 2 days away he suggested that I bring my handphone along and keep it with him so that I can text Mandy when we're out there in the jungle. Her operation was scheduled on Sat, which was the 2nd day of my field camp. I just broke down because I knew the only thing i could do was to text her. On a time like this, when she needed me most I couldn't be with her. I felt so hopeless. The outfield days were the worst period of my life it was made even worse because I was thinking about my girlfriend who was going under the knife the next day and I decided I have to do something. I took one of the silliest and bravest decision that changed my whole NS career... *To be continued...* Louis froze in time on 11:56 PM
