i've repeatedly failed to wake up for soccer in the wee hours of the morning. i've gotta do so much more to live independently by myself man. inability to wake up upon the ring of the alarm clock and a severe lack of punctuality are the 2 greatest flaws that needs some sorting out.
i've never put much attention on exceptions. so, while i feel sorry for the families of 2lt lam and rec andrew, i'm glad that the armed forces decided not to take any drastic measures to lower the already much simpler training standards. i always felt the twin tragedies were cases of extremities that struck at the same time, a mere case of ill-fortune for this organisation. cases like this would normally trigger radical changes in existing systems and guidelines in the past, but i guess it's good that we stay put this time round, else, we would really be undermining the important foundations as a result of these exceptions.
and i don't think there needs to be any alarm over the health of my generation of people. cases like these were underreported in the past. if they were, they would have brought about attention, albeit less resonating as a result of lower media coverage and educational standards. we're looking at cases that happens weekly, if not daily, in other parts of the world for many years, so why the unnecessary alarm?
disturbed you at 8:39 AM
