Black Tuesday

Definitely not the best tuesday I have experienced in my life, in fact not even the closet tragedy comes within a thousand miles of this. A serious offence was commited and I pleaded to it telling myself that I did the right thing by not covering my mistake, mistakes which people make everyday yet not having courage or ethics to blister themselves instead of finding cover.

Negligence Discharge of a 5.56mm blank round, if it was a live round that I fired someone would be dead by now. Dead, something like someone wading into Bedok Reservoir and never come back on his own accord. As such, I was charged with Stoppage Of Leave for a good 7 days.

I do understand that there are at least a thousand others who made similar offences in the history and probably in the next hundred thousand years of history. However, the impact which sledgehammed the mind when it is fired at someone leaves a mark deep beneath. Thankfully, the particle that came out of the muzzle that was aiming at the head of someone else was not a projectile from the head of a bullet, just hot air. Easily it would turn into a scar, dropping your soul into an abyss inside your heart, producing a lifeless frame of you who only knows how to regret.

Solemn Judgement

I'll just be frank on this one. It is pretty boring and unglamorous for me to repeat everything that I have done before. Sadly, I have to because it is a requirement. On contrary to strucking a gold mine I would label this as unfortunate. Well pretty much, it has been rather true that one would beg for objectives after idling around for some time. My conclusion, just don't pray for an easy life.

As an infant we started our lives as dwellings crawling out empires on the surface of earth using our bare hands. It seems pretty relaxed and cheerful for us and the people around. As we progress and grow older, we began to ask for bargains in our lives, in any ways we can think of to ease our daily pressure. Fortunately however, we usually get our ways and according to plan, live a good life. Mind you to beware of that because life is predetermined by your actions. This is the first argument that minnows may attempt to argue.

A sad case that happened 2 months ago threw me back into the suffering I have undergone a season ago. Fortunately I understood all the requirements and skills crucial for cruising past the course again. Unfortunately however, I found it pretty boring, the sense that you are thrown into the abyss of forging ahead into unknown territories full of obstacles is gone, totally gone, not even a dust remains in this pithole. You may think that we are living a life full of pressure and challenges. Appreciate that before it is gone and you depart from this sanctuary forever into the dawn skies.
