Food for the soul

It's been a while since I've last updated. Sorry for neglecting you, dear diary. Almost every other day, I would tell myself that I would type something at night. But more often than not, I would drift away to sleep instead of typing the alphabets to make words over here. I guess I've been too drained out.

Life at work has been pretty much the same. So much so that I don't feel like talking about it.

Earlier in the day, we had this Family Day thingy though. And including today, that makes it 7 days in a row I had to wake up very early in the morning at exact same time of 5.45am. Argh. The event was pretty okay I suppose. It was my first ever Family Day that I've attended in any sort of capacity. But the moment that my cab that was supposed to take me to the zoo had a punctured tire, I had a feeling that the day won't be as smooth sailing as I've hoped. And how right I was.

Had to wait at the entrance more than 1.5hrs to wait for latecomers just to pass their tickets. Didn't have a chance to roam around the Zoo as I was caught up with some stuff. And most importantly, just as the main event was over and we were supposed to be on free-and-easy, the rain started pouring cats and dogs. And there goes my plan to catch the two pandas at River Safari. What a waste. And funnily, after reaching the exit and queuing for a cab for so long and reaching the front of the queue, the sun decided to show up again. It's like the weather was playing tricks on me! Never mind, I guess I wasn't fated to visit the two furry creatures today.

In about two weeks, I will be having my reservist again. Can't wait for that actually. It's like a mini-break for me from all the work-related stress! And back to my comfortable and familiar uniform in blue!


In the past few months, I have, or have been trying to, move on. In more ways than one. Things have changed. In life, I suppose nothing will stay permanent. Only change will. You could be enjoying yourself, feeling happy and excited today, but you'll never know what the future holds for you tomorrow. It could be another happy day for you. Or it could also happen that the things or people you held dear to are suddenly no longer by your side, for one reason or another. And then, everything changed. All the words and promises have become nothing but just empty gestures that sought to make you feel good at that particular moment when they were being told. I'm not sure whether it's due to modernization but these days, it's kinda hard to trust someone. Even if you think you know him or her well enough. I'm for one a proponent on the saying that if you don't think you can uphold the words or promises that you make, then jolly well better don't make them. I don't understand how anyone can promise or say something and just discard them later like a piece of rubbish.

Oh well.

Afternote: Somehow chanced upon some chat logs. And in between the emo feeling, I was able to still smile to myself as I read the exchanges of texts between myself and the other party. I suppose for what it's worth, I'm glad and grateful that there were times in my life that these few people chose to spend their time and going through their journey in life with me. Even if they don't last. Thank you for that.
