[ 748. Eventful ]
"..."
On our way there today in randy's car, i was thinking, weather is so bad, it's already raining intermittently, why bother turning up? To my surprise and our amusement, brian and phua had the same idea. And we even had our own contingency plan... MacDonalds! Haha...
YC had it the worst. By the time he reached, we were on our way out.
And he went "..."
And i didn't even get to see him yet. Haha. Maybe he threw a smoke on us. Led us on. And you know. Haha. Mobile phones can do tricks to your ears at times.
And yes, i haven't finish my work. Last minute mob changes made me cranky. And the lack of information for next month's duty personnel also gave me a big headache. I could churn out those forms required for duty only if i had adequate information. S3 told me that he has sent them to us already. But i don't have it! So how?! Simple. Means i have to go back today. Great changes to the mob submission has also caused me some headaches. So as you can see, a little headache here and a little headache there gives me a big headache altogether.
Well, enough of my own woes for the time being.
I've read all about tsunamis when i was back in secondary school, in geography. About how it's actually caused by underwater earthquakes when the earth crusts move towards or away from one another. It was all theory, all so unreal, so far. But this time round, it happened to near to home. And so near, yet all we singaporeans feel is just news and news and news. Perhaps its the frequency of such emergencies that has been happening over the years. 2001 was the 911 incident. 2002 was bali bomb blast. 2003 was sars. And just as we are about the end this year peacfully, asian tsunami.
About 123,000 has died thus far. And it can still rise. Just a couple of days ago, i was asking S2 if it'll ever reach 100,000. He said firmly, no. And i'm telling you that it could jolly well reach 200,000. 5 million homeless, 123 thousands dead and thousands unaccounted for. As singaporeans we are really blessed, i guess. Naturally shielded from such natural calamities, and too small a target for some to even consider us a threat physically. Maybe economically.
Reading blogs always intrigued me into further thoughts. Ever since i've entered NS i've been guilty of being lazy in thoughts. The lazy-to-think mentality has been bestowed upon us for the fear of being labelled as questioning authority. Ironically, SAF wants us to be the thinking soldiers of today. Possible? Maybe, maybe not.
Introspective. That's how i described somebody today. That was how i was like last time. Really. Remembered i said that i was usually labelled sensitive yet blunt? That's because of my frank and introspective nature. But now, i kind of lose that introspective nature in me. Really getting lazy to pen my thoughts, my fears and my concerns in words. I know how does it feel when someone you trust a lot betrayed your innermost thoughts, and told someone else.
Betrayal: you can't betray someone else without first betraying yourself.
Haven't really talked about my dad ever before i guess. He was admit to SGH last week for a heart attack on monday. A few things zipped through my mind. Phone bills, bro's pocket money and his taxi. Oh sharks mom's gonna nag about money matters again. Yes, i was worried. I was never close to my dad, and i only visited him for once in hospital. Mom chided me for that. For not even calling home to ask how he was. I knew i wasn't being very filial. But somehow... i just feel this sense of detachment from the family. Maybe i'm not making enough effort, and so well, i really don't know if i should even try. Perhaps they don't even like me in the first place. Perhaps.
You have to first love before you can be loved...
