天无绝人之路

today, a huge miracle occurred in my life;
it taught me things that i've never know in the past.

i remember clearly one week ago today,
i was racking my brains to prepare for FSD comp in just one week's time;
somemore, it's the common test week that we have only to prepare.
i remember, that very day last week,
i was so devastated, at such a lost stage.
i felt that i lost everything, i'm just heading for hell.
nevertheless, at the last moments,
FSD 2010 build up their teamwork once again,
and all my team members are prepared to fight once more with me.
despite that FSD was in a mess last week,
they never desert me, and fought along with me and my partner.
even Ms Yeo send her wishes to us.

today, we did our final preparation,
and were prepared to go there and 'die'.
two trainings worth of preparation,
with this we are expecting something unsightly today.

after our final practices,
we went to Amoy Quee Camp under the company of Mr Tan.
Mr Tan Li Chun, a nice guy.

we just sat there, waiting for our time to perform,
waiting for 'death'.
we had in us this kind of perception,
'aiya this competition prepare to lose one.'
somemore, i will have to face severe punishment after this competition.
well, in me was a kind of callous attitude for the consequences and outcomes,
that i will face after the competition.

just as we are to prepare for the competition,
getting onto the parade square.
there came a heavy downpour,
under the strong, blazing sun.
it's really a weird nature scenery;
you have blazing sun and heavy downpour at the same time.

because of that, the competition is postponed.
we have one more week to prepare.

well, call this miracle, destiny, fate or whatsoever;
all i knew is i'm given a more chance.
one more chance to sharpen things,
one more chance to make some results.
really, i felt so fortunate today.
it's a kind of feeling....
when you're at your weakest point and things seem so dull,
and then no one's there to save your ass;
suddenly some natural phenomenon happen,
and then things are changed drastically.

it's a kind of feeling of gratefulness,
as well as a feeling of happiness;
grateful and happy for this natural chance given.

i remember last friday, how devastated i was,
how much i felt so much of pulling out of the competition.
how disappointed and devastated my mates felt,
and how we are in a low morale.
nevertheless, people like wayne cheer us on,
and we agree on one last battle.

today i felt so grateful, so happy, so fortunate.
i learn to cherish. cherish things and people,
which and who doesn't comes easily.
and today i saw a miracle;
somemore it happened on me!

from the start towards the end of february,
so much things happened in my daily life.
i lost many things;
but yet i gained some things that are more precious.
i learn about teamwork,
i learn to be humble;
i learn about unity is strength,
i learn to change myself.
i learn to be thankful and grateful for everything i'm given,
and i learn to see things with a neutral perception.
to lose materialistic life for this kinda stuff;
it's worth the price.
