Kobe@14mths-35, originally uploaded by Lobinhoot.
Why is it amazing? Well… It’s definitely so, watching this boy of mine grow each day. =) Ok, maybe I am not watching him grow every day. But I am sure he is growing up as each day passes. There’s so many amazing things Kobe does. He has learned to wave “bye bye”, giving “Hi Fives” and shaking his head vigourously. Although the last “trick” I suspect he learned from Casper (my shih tzu). Haha~
In a week’s time, I will be away from home for close to 3 weeks. This will be the first time I am away from Kobe for a period more than 5 days. The last “seperation” was due to “Eh Eh Oh”… =P I’m feeling alittle… ermm… *choking on my throat*… hmm… Oh well… I think I’ll be fine. =) He’s in good hands with my Mom-in-law and wifey. The 2 person on this earth I trust the most.
I was watching “Hurt Locker” on DVD just tonite and I have to agree that it was indeed an Academy Award Winning movie. Never has a war-movie been so real, since “Black Hawk Down”. I’m a soldier. And it set me thinking after watching the movie.
“Will you be able to squeeze the trigger when you are called upon to do so?”
“Will you be able to take aim faster than your adversories and take him down before he takes you down?”
We’ve always been training and training. And when called upon, we must be able to put into practise what we were trained for. There’s a chinese saying that goes “养兵千日用兵一时”. Which translates to “Training an Army for a thousand days, but using them only at a vital time”. We cannot neglect the training we do each day, for we may never know when we will be called upon to put them into use. Work harder, Tommy. Work harder…
