I used to write to the Straits Times Forum. However, I stopped writing upon my enlistment. Well, I wrote in last Saturday because I was bored....

Ok, enjoy reading!

I read with interest on one of the forum letter in The Straits TImes ( Monday edition ):
COLLAPSED AFTER MARATHON by Alan Shadrake
After I completed the Army Half Marathon on Sep 11, I fainted and collapsed on my way to collect my finisher's medal. My companion put my sports bag under my head as I lay there feeling very dizzy.
Then I heard some concerned voices asking my companion what had happened and if I was Ok. I looked up to see two young Singaporean women with worried looks on their faces. While one ran for the army medics, the other poured her gatorade into a cup for me to drink.
The medics arrived and soon I was on a stretcher resting in a tent while my vitals were checked. Within 30 mins, I was allowed to go home.
I would like to thank the young women who showed such concern, and the army medics, who were extremely professional in getting me back on my feet again.
