It's Time In approximately 46 hrs i would have booked into taiwan. Everyone has been telling me without hesitation that taiwan is fun. maybe they had forgotten that i was there as a civil servant. nevertheless, just as everyone has said that '2 years very fast one lah', I'll just have to take everything with a pinch of salt. i'm not too bothered by the fact that i'm leaving the country for a month, nor am i put off by the fact that i'll be atop some random mountain for 2 weeks. i just hope time flies like arrows, just like how fruit flies like bananas. get it? It's the same for all block leaves. just as you're getting comfortable with that pace of life, you're called back to serve the nation. i could have had a 2 week break had it not been for my earlier flight. it has been a fruitful time off for me though. like how i've realised there isn't an mrt station between buona vista and commonwealth. the 'gang' and I have finally tried the sizzler at suntec too, and it's much more overwhelming than i thought it'd be. i also got to watch my 1st champs league game last wed. in between all of that is of course all the usual mundane stuff like watching dvds, listening to more oasis and eating alot of food. food really is one of the simplest and more convenient pleasures in life, but i may be taking it too seriously though. still, I'm happy as hell when i eat so who cares? actually i was wondering: who would think twice 1st when eating? a thin or fat person? the thin person would want to maintain his/her figure, while the fat person wouldn't want to make his/her health worse, as bad as it already is. i'm slightly grateful to be borne to a family w/o religion and special diets. I've seen how my vege friend has a hard time looking for decent food, and more than half the time he's not eating a balanced diet. but it's just me maybe. right now I've no qualms leaving the country, I've done all i could or should. I'm rather bothered by the fact that people are so serious though. if everyone could be just cool, shit wouldn't get too out of hand. we should stop playing games and cut to the chase. of course honesty is a virtue many of us have lost or simply lack, but we should still do it with a bit of finesse. it's a fine thin line between honesty and sensitivity, but it sure is a dilemma for both to go hand in hand. actually I'm being rather selfish and rude by saying this, cos I'm sort of insulting what other people take seriously. i just hope everything will still be cool when I'm back. when I'm back in a month's time. |
