It has been a long day for me. Right now, it's already Sunday, but my day continues. I just returned home shortly about an hour ago. And now I'm sitting here telling my grand saga. Hehehe...
Well, if you must know where I've been up to these few weeks, and why am I not been blogging, I suggest you look at the date of the entries. National Day is around the corner. And since I'm in the army now, we've got lots of work to do!
Last few weeks, we had our ticketing session, which was just simply giving out tickets to those who have won them. Those days were over. Last week, several of us including me were all stationed at the car park to do some marshalling. It was horrible. The smell of smoke coming out of the vehicles, dust from the humid carpark, and the heat of the sun made our day very uncomfortable. At the end of the day, which took us about twelve hours, I developed a terrible sore throat and cough. Days later, an acute pain in the chest.
Hence, I asked for a change in vocation. Or should I call it a job instead. Job sucks, but vocations have purposes. That's the difference. What happened was my superior put me in charge of store with some of the few guys I knew. And as far as what I've heard from them, their job sucks pretty much as they have lots of things to do and stuffs to carry about. Comparing with the time they get to go back home, they're what I call, the "First to come in, last to get out" kinds. I hope you understand now. My mood was dampened completely after hearing such remarks. Well, there and then, I some how regreted for being such a big-mouth in that, I should kept my bloody mouth shut instead!
Yesterday morning, I woke up really early. I guess this was the earliest time I've ever waken up for such non-sensical event. The first thing on my mind when I woke up was, "Damn! I hate this day! This event really sucks. NDP sucks big time!!!". I left the house after breakfast and the same lines were hovering in my empty mind during the bus and train ride to my destination, which includes, "Army is Boy Scout. We're nothing but a Boy Scout! Fuck this nation man!". Alright, I was vulgar; I was upset; and I was such a big critic of the day! Nevertheless, I still prayed for things to get better.
When I arrived there, it started to rain heavily. So everyone of us took cover in the nearby underpass. Good gracious! I was hoping it'll rain all day and the performances cancelled. I loitered around with them for a while before heading off to buy some additional breakfast... or should I call it High Tea. I was thinking miserably to myself, "Damn it, that's it! My entire day is wasted.". Hahaha... and just as I was eating, the rain simmered down. BACK TO WORK!!!!!
Well, the day wasn't that bad as I thought. Wait a minute, since when did I ever became so positive now? Hehehe... I must say that all those while, when I was busy complaining, something inside of me, or should I perceive it as the Holy Spirit, kept prompting me that I need to have a good attitude today to get ahead well. It wasn't so bad as what I imagined it was to be. My prayer was beginning to be answered.
There wasn't so much of tasks to be done today. Except for lunch and dinner time, when we have to send out the rations to a specific location some distance away. And the rations' heaviness weren't what I thought they were to be that heavy! They were just fine for me to do some little training for my arms! Hehehe...
Well, at first, they were heavy. And while I was carrying it along with me during the long walk to our destination, I was busy asking my colleagues of where were we taking these rations to. I got no reply. Maybe their minds were shagged out too, and couldn't think properly. But I needed so much to know my destination! Without knowing where I was heading to, I would get tired with carrying those stuffs! Something striked me at that point in time. It reminded me that I needed to have a purpose in life. All of us need to have a vision. If our destination is unclear and we can't see properly of where we are heading, then all that we are doing is in vain. We'll get exhausted easily and frustrated. I thanked God for this revelation!
In between, we have hours of breaks, so we chose the underpass as our secret hiding place, where we can smoke out of those unnecessary tasks. Some of us around there would go into malls to have a walk or just sit around and take light naps. Hahaha... that's army life. We'll sleep whenever we get the chance. All the while, I was counting down on the number of hours left before we finally knock off from that place. Even five hours before knocking off, I would gladly announce this to my colleagues working with me. And seeing the happy face of mine while doing the announcement, they were freaking out. Hahaha...
During the end of the rehearsal, there were fireworks and a few of us rushed our way to the top of the underpass to view the magnificent sight of them. I took some pictures but they donn't look good. So I video shot them and place it here so all you can click to view it.
Night. Everyone has gone home. We're the last group to be going. Surprisingly, after helping out in a few stores and keeping the equipment, the five of us were told to go home. Great! What a day. I can look forward to a nice supper back home already. Praise God! What a wonderful day I had today. Trust and obey the Holy Spirit. For He will change the course of your day... and even, life.
These are fireworks from the scene I took with my handphone's video camera: -

A Word of Caution!
If your skin is so damn bloody thin like an egg membrane, I suggest you get out of this fuckin' place!
But, if you are staying, I presume that you're not one of those sissies. Alright, title says it all. This is a place I vent all my frustrations and disagreement.
Besides, it contains a bit of my taboo criticisms. Obviously, this isn't a place for any Tom, Dick or Harry with a weak heart.
Dislikes
Mouths that speak lies; Betrayers; Back-stabbers; Indecisive Personality
Things That Make Me Angry
When others aren't being serious with me when I'm serious with them; When others offended me (it takes quite a skill to really offend me); When others don't mean what they say and don't keep promises
What I Hate or Against
Abortion; Divorce; Smoking
