Om Black Day

When i was in the army, I heard of this Armour Black Day. It was said that for many years on this very same day, many cases of very bad accidents have happened. There was this soldier whose head was chopped off by a swinging turret. There was also another soldier whos body got chopped off into half at the waist when the tank overturned at a slope. Hence, all trainings and exercises were cut during this particular day - i think its some time during this period.

Writing this, i suddenly recalled how my OC was killed during the training. And i just realised his death anniv is today (and i have forgotten about it!). Every yr, I would make arrangement with all my fellow specialists and tie down with my OC's family member to pay our respect at his grave. Sigh.. this yr i actually forgot abt it. I 'll see if i can make a trip down tmr to offer my respect.

And today (or rather yday) seemed to be a black day for me. Early in the morning, I excitedly went to a car accessory shop to have my car alarm installed. I got this v cheap lobang (abt half the price from other shops) and was told to 'come back and collect' after 1hr. Unfortunately, my wait stretched till 3hrs ++ and finally the technician gave up on my ride. He said tat Peugeot is too 'complex' and difficult to install. I drove off feeling v disappointed. What a waste of my time!

And i went home, I found out my $50 note which i kept in my pocket was gone. OUCH! I have been trying to save here and there so much.. switching off aircon when driving, waking up early to siam erp, asking for discount on this and that, and now a $50 note is jus gone like that! V heart pain manz... :(

Fortunately the day ended better after i went for my skating at ECP. Although I still cannot do funny stunts and also cant brake effectively, I found myself gaining more stability as i skate. Its shiok to blade at nite listening to the Metta Chant and Heart Sutra. Try it!
