Body engine
Like any other vehicles, the most important part is perhaps the engine. A car without engine or faulty engine can't move (unless you push it or drag it). The easiest way to repair an engine is to change the engine.
Just as our human body, the most important part is our heart. Our heart pumps blood with oxygen to every part of our body. Perhaps our heart is the only few organs in our body that works non-stop from the day you are in your mum's womb. It beats and pumps faithfully, working for you without complains.
That's when the problem came in. We abuse our body, abuse our heart. Just like the Chinese believe, all sickness comes in from the mouth; the food we eat. High calories french fries, high sodium instant noodle and high cholestrol pork chop. Who really cares about healthy lifestyle and check the nutrition table of the food packaging before buying. As long as it's delicious (and cheap), buy it!
But it's not always the case. Our fragile heart can just surrenders and give up on us anytime. Yes, I'm sad that MC King dies. If you are a local Singaporean, I'm sure you have heard of this comedian MC King (not his real name of course). He just passed away yesterday at the age of 40. What's wrong? Body engine not working right?
Makes me worries about life, it's so fragile. Life can end just so unexpectedly. One moment up, one moment down. Maybe that's the ups and downs of life.
Just like my chest pain. My chest pain problem is not something I've talked about in my blog so this will be the first. According to doctor's preliminary tests, my chest problem is not related to my heart. That's something to feel "lucky" about. It has been happening for about 5 or 6 years now. Don't know, don't care.
Recently, my chest pain problem has worsen since enlisting into NS. I know, some people will think that I'm just trying to "chao keng" through the training. I'm not. You people don't bloody judge me and come to just random conclusion. If you have random chest pain that disturbs your life even when you are not exercising, then you will know how terrible is it. Every attack, even minor ones, will makes you think whether you are going to survive it or not. Something I'm afraid of most, death.
Of course, some of my better buddies will know me. Whenever I have an attack, be it minor or major, they are always there to help me. Especially my unlucky bed buddy who has to drag me for the 12km route march as I'm really not feeling well. I endured, but I think he endured more than me. Alot of buddies also came to my aid when I'm in need of help. Many thanks to them; I will surely remember you for your act.
In my course of BMT, I've seen alot of people who purposely wanted to be "unhealthy". People who purposely make themself ill and report sick just to skip lessons. You know? I despise you! You are healthy, you can go command school (SISPEC/OCS) yet you choose to be a weakling. Wait till one day when you are really unfit or ill, then you will start to treasure your life and health. Oh well, humans are lazy.
Talking about treasuring my life and health, I try to take charge of my life. I don't drink alcholic stuffs and smoke for fear my body can't take it anymore. Self-control. Healthy people wants to be unhealthy by abusing their body. As much as I can, I try to eat things that is not too unhealthy by choosing the healthier choice. Of course, I'm just a human. Sometimes, I can't resist the delicious KFC or mouth-watering ice-cream. At least it's not something I eat often.
Actually, there is no main topic in my mind when writing this entry. This entry is very general. But in my conclusion, the thing I would like to say is... CHERISH YOUR LIFE!
You never have more than enough life to squander away.
