Resurrection

Encountering a movie that depicted mirages of your memory is worth spending the efforts. Our human brain works at only a tiny portion, the rest is just to make sure our mind does not lose control over ourselves. Only when there is a magical window channelled deep into your memory does it occur to you how precious it was, how ignorant you were and how you've crossed your fingers for an enchanted second chance.

If you aren't someone who respects those who are ill, nonchalant towards those who have an affection then I suggest you turn to the next sadistic blog you might run across. Cancer is an infestation, it roams deep, unaware by its possession of your body. One day it might erupt and cause discord. The past week has been my first visit back to Shanghai since this imbecile has been diagnosed to be running around inside my grandfather. Treatments have helped him recovered his past expression, seemingly unperturbed by the incident.

Every day chances are available; some useful, some sensible. Choosing to realize and cherish them is another. Never complain about luck, it doesn't exist though you might feel better if you worship it.

Clowns and Dictators

The relationship about the two is simple. Jester the man on the throne and you'll be regarded as a valuable asset to the mass. We look up to the clowns, expecting perfection and it usually isn't the case. But then we discovered the horrible truth, they weren't exactly doing their job well to please, and now, it has drawn the wrath of the spectators.

Since 2011, the transport sector of Singapore has been rather traumatised by one particular company, SMRT. Before I start tormenting and lambasting the events that unfolded and the actions being taken, let me ask. What was the dictator of the largest transport firm in Singapore doing when the clowns cocked up the system?

SMRT has a reputation for having the most expensive taxis locally. Why spend the money on Chevrolet Epicas when you could have Volkswagens. Why spend money on Chryslers when you could have BMWs. Someone wasn't thinking at moment along with the lady on the throne. I could only assume that she was in a hotel with an SBS spy. We have already complained for their service which lacked quality and what have they done? They requested for price increase, fine. And they made everythign worse.

Does the Board of Directors have any other uses besides collecting more people's cash into their pockets after they invested their money which I presume they had won from lottery? Could anyone explain. I would have thought they done their job in firms like Microsoft, Toyota but in SMRT, this just doesn't make sense.

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.

Pride and Prejudice

No, I am not writing a famous novel. It is just the smuggness I am getting whenever i was called for duty. I am the Company Orderly Sergeant and today is a public holiday. It could be because of my experience in doing such duties and the amount of time I spent here that I didn't really feel depressed and devastated when i found out my duty. No, I would never get into such state.

Always taking pride in the stuffs that I do in my life, serving a country which I have no blood connection but decided to since it has given me education and a life. Mind you there is a difference between happiness and living a good life. I would prefer whichever that gives me peace and the goals that I want to achieve in my life.

As much as I would like to, I hope to get back whatever that I sacrificed for serving duties given by the army and my destiny. Sadly, I am matured to give myself a knock in my head, telling my heart that I have to endure such unfortunate times in my life which I have and will always be experiencing like all other people. Life is formless, it is the chance that gives people the advantage and disadvantage. Like I have said earlier, there is no such thing as luck. Your future is crafted by your own hands. It is reasonable and foolish to complain about life since it will do nothing but ruin plans and time further.

Have a nice view of life.
