The Insignificance and Vulnerability of Simplicity

Friday, June 29

W.O.R.K

The draining impact of cannonballs finds its way to my limbs..
Taking over me in acrid acid, rendered me inadequate..
I’m not much of a fortress, I’m more of a sand castle..
One cannoball is enough to deem me to my remnants..
Disseminate me to a wreck only to meet the hurried sea water and off and away to nothingness..
Cannonballs flew all over the place and they retracted..
For I’m wanted by people of all levels..

I dont hate my job

But sometimes the things that people do just shattered me mortified..

It was just a few days back where Boss called me into his office and I replied that I'll be willing to give that post a try..

Define irony when 2 different extreme emails fluxed in..

It’s heavy to carry an armor to work and immediately dump the shell the moment I stepped home..
Mommy always asked why I could not close the door gently..

Daddy asked why I'm so hasty and harsh while talking to him..

I'm stunned and guilty for sure..
Subconsciously, I knew I could not shed the heavy armor fast enough..
Living out different lives a day is confusing me impetuously..
JS mentioned something about split identities, where Gemini victims are especially such..

Thou deliberate lives are not causes, they are thy consequences

The consciousness in me stirred
I actually do not need to learn how to split myself,
I’m already a walking one...

*****

That was last week..

Hence Friday was a welcoming note

Not because of TGIF, but because some time off could ease out some of the dilapidated grounds..

And there were my wonderful mates..

It was time to be crappy..

Though it took me a while to shed off that armor again

and Mr Lim couldnt join us..

Suki, Yanz and her Sky shit made me laugh so hard that I gradually loosened up..

Since I did not have the feel for pictures

Took up the role as a paparazzi instead..

How did them guys know that I once wanted to be a photographer for journalism??

SOCC Commissioning Ball

Last Saturday

A huge tier of culture shock swept over me the minute I stepped out of the cab sleepily onto the grounds of Hyatt Hotel..
Suddenly I found myself in an alienated place with so many princes in blazers and coats and princesses in gowns and immaculately groomed hair..

I was a chambermaid..

Felt really out of place -,-
It was a BALL alright..
Don was right to forbid me to wear jeans, and I thought he was too exaggerating..

Quite amused by his way of introducing me to his mates..

"This is June Shun"

Don spent a total of SGD 270 on the dinner alone..
It was holy expensive nia..and horribly cold..
But the emcee was too good that no one paid attention to the food..
And everyone kept cracking up like humpty dumpty..
Don said that the money for the dinner was actually paid to the emcee, true though..

The twist of the night came when one of Don’s platoon mates proposed to his girlfriend of 3 years..
My first thoughts..
“How old is he??!”
Hmmm initially did sound a bit childplay to me..
But of course, have to give the lead some credit as he really put in a lot of effort..

The lead passed every table a slip of paper, containing the "plot":

3 other girls and the female lead were brought up on stage by the emcee as a form of sabotaged..

And then blindfolded..

While she was being distracted by the emcee with endless questions,
All the mates would hustle around, helping to arrange the light sticks on the ground reading

“Marry Me!”

Lights will go off..
And then the lead would sing her favourite song and place 2 soft toys in front of her..
The lights came back and the blindfold was off..

He got onto his knees, asking her to marry him..

Immediately the whole group of them guys knelt down with him, delcaring “Marry Him!”..

And honestly speaking, the last part was very moving..

Oh and did I mention Don won the 8th prize, a G-Shock Watch in the lucky draw??

*Bleahz*

Don couldnt help but played the grand piano outside the ballroom at the end of everything..

Define dreams..

Drudgery's taunting me mockingly..
24 hours’ really aint enough for me..
Seem to have difficulty remembering stuff..

The line of events had been incessantly consecutive one after another..
So many things to settle, but my mind cannot make up its mind which one..

Vaguely remember that I had to meet up with Lady Suki and I remembered that I had wanted msg her in the morning if we could postpone meeting her after her exams..
Then the call came and I was called to Boss’ office..
And I forgot to call her thereafter =X

With a boggling mind, the day proceeded with the same haste..
Then I rushed off to lessons..

*****

And I felt real bad after putting down the phone that night..
I’m really sorrie..

Another year has passed..

I'm OFFICIALLY in my mid-twenties..

Bleahz..

I'm an old woman..-,-

Dear surprised me with a bouquet of lovely flowers..

Aint gonna lie..

I do love white roses..^_^

We went to Lingzhi Restaurant for lunch, to which the menu really blew us away..

Food that you never thought could be in a sumptuous vegetarian form popped right in front of us..

By the way, Lingzhi Restaurant is under Tung Lok's Group which explains the exquisite culinary skills..

We went to Safti for Don's Commissioning Parade thereafter..

A event that must not be missed..

Dressed in his suaved Number One..

(Muhahaha..I said his suaved uniform, without it he'll be just my corny brother..)

My favourite video clip of the day..

So much life, so young, so vibrant..

Aunt Janet sent me a cake with music!

The cake was to be placed on top of a stand that will self rotate and sing Birthday song for me..

Ohweeeeee...

And I felt really blessed..

Dad, Mom, Dear and all my Bros..

Many friends messaged me their greetings, esp Suki who beat the 12 o'clock midnight and was the first to wish me..

Thank you to all..

Ceaseless and cumulative steam building within..

I snapped and I barked

At the incoherently incorrigible highest level of infexibility coupled with certain degree of incompetency and stupidity..

It aint cool at all..

Many bustling events recently..

My "baby" brothers have grown..

'm soo proud of them..

Geee..

Mommy and Daddy gave all the support they could by gracing the events..^-^

Don,

Serving his 2nd year of the NS, and had just graduated from his company..

And then he shall be commissioned (if I got the spelling right) on my birthday...

Hah..

Two years is definitely fast..

With a snap of the finger,

Don passed out first from BMT, passed out from OCS, then got posted to Signals, then graduated, then commissioning soon..

Ming,

This crazy fella,

Never studies,

Always facing and smiling to the computer and always so many outdoor activites and he can still get the diploma with merit plus one special award -,-

Too bad I couldnt turn up to give support and do some photo whoring with him..

(hahaha, else there will be much more pictures =D)

Actually,

I was quite amused by the robe they were given this year, and I dont remenber that there were any robes for past poly graduations..

A graduation robe minus the motar board =D

Time and tide really waits for no one..

Just yesterday, they were my baby brothers snatching and vying for my Lego..

And then they suddenly shot up in height and towered over me like nobody's business..

Now I'm waiting..

For my youngest bro's graduation..=)
