life and death, sweat and blood, rain or shine

It's Michelle's and Jason's wedding yesterday!!!

The dinner was fantestic... I would have enjoyed it more if not for some troubles hanging in my mind...

Anyway, a message to Michelle and Jason. Wish you have eternal martial bliss, and "good good make human" (convert that to chinese). Hope that you all will "live happily ever after."

Next topic....

Read a long E mail from EC. Regarding some issues in a organisation. I was touched by a paragraph from his E mail:

"What make (a organisation) special to us is the satisfaction of serving. In fact, our friendship within (a unit) are built on what I call, going through Life and death, Sweat and Blood, Rain or shine together during numbness duties and casualties. This is the kind of friend we have."

How true it is!!! Life and death. Sweat and blood. Rain or Shine. Numbness duties and casualties... We have been through it all. Been there, done that.

And i do agree that after going through all those issues, the friendship bonds of us, the Duty Siaos are even stronger than a covalent and ionic bond of molecules.

Reading that paragraph has provoked my memories. Sweet and bitter memories. Remembered the first time i went duty with them. When we are free, basically, we can go wild by just talking cock. When casualties are reported, the way we chiong can make a Infantry Commanding Officer glow with pride.

We had been so acustomed to each other that we actually can work as one. Without shouting of orders, instructions. We simply know what the others are doing, and and we should do, be it at the head or the torso or the feet of the casualty.

Remembered the time, NUS Splashdown 2006. There's a drowning incident. When the casualty was pulled up by the life guards, he had no breathing and no pulse. We swung into action. 3 of the duty siaos was there. We worked as one. That casualty revived.

Come on, duty siaos... We are one, life and death, sweat and blood, rain or shine... We work together, chiong together, have fun together and now, WE FIGHT TOGETHER!!! Let's unite and show those sorry bastards what we are made up of...
