Kind of like the Singapore version of <A HREF="http://www.elibraryhub.com/detail/itemDetail.asp?Type=LIB&ID=10681926" REL="nofollow">"Band of Brothers"</A>, <A HREF="http://www.elibraryhub.com/detail/itemDetail.asp?Type=LIB&ID=9011796" REL="nofollow">"Citizen Soldiers"</A>, and <A HREF="http://www.elibraryhub.com/detail/itemDetail.asp?Type=LIB&ID=11199515" REL="nofollow">"Black Hawk Down"</A>, minus the violence (though that's not the point of those stories). I especially enjoyed your description of the jump out of the plane. You've captured the essence of the experience. I was nowhere near what you were doing during my NS dinosaur-years ago, but I could just imagine how it was. You know, it's even possible such personal stories (in this excellent blog) could very well be compiled into a book at an appropriate time... keep on writing! <BR/><BR/>BTW, some writers use the technique of not using any punctuation when describing one long continuous scene, to convey the sense of anxiety, excitement and adrenaline rush. Maybe you could try that with your para 13 ("then soon we're good to go... i don't feel a thing and i'm out".

As an ex-YFC member I've lost count of the number of times I wished I could take off despite the blardy cross-wind and stupid drizzle, let's not mention the RSAF pilots...besides, good way to save on fuel eh? If you want to blame something go blame it on the SAF's emphasis on safe peacetime training.khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732616118807432473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7868944.post-1107514234960560272005-02-04T18:50:00.000+08:002005-02-04T18:50:00.000+08:00SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEE sorry I was in a rush and didn't...SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEE sorry I was in a rush and didn't read the contents.. cos erm, a picture speaks a thousand words and I was trying to decipher the picture itself.<br /><br />Hehehehe, so cute leh.. got different appeal.. the others are macho, this is.. hehehe cute.
