Salam Ramadan

It's my official rest now and since I'm kinda bored, thought of writing a short update.

Tomorrow will be my last shift for this reservist cycle. How time flies. Soon, next week, I'll be back at work, facing the huge backlog of work that awaits me. Oh well, I'm so not looking forward to it. On the bright side, upon completion of this cycle, I would be halfway through my required 10 cycles already. 5 more years to go!! Not that I'm complaining being recalled though. Kinda enjoy having this short break, away from all the stress.

Today is also the second day of fasting. Alhamdulilah, I've lived to meet this holy month once again this year. Putting on this similar uniform on this Ramadan, I can't help but kinda miss the times I had when I was in the team, before being transferred to office work. Miss the times where we breakfast, sahur together, and the many laughters and fun that we shared. Not that I'm complaining about the new workplace. Just that, I've missed the feeling of camaraderie and togetherness that I've felt before. Team Delta, I miss you!

We live in a world where we are easily judged by those around us. More often though, we are judged a little too quickly than should be. We are judged by the words we say, by the things we post, by the actions we did. Sometimes, without checking with the person in question, whatever the perception created in the mind is perceived to be true and that's where the problem lies. I've been on the receiving end of assumptions/accusations on numerous occasions, without these people personally checking with me my true intentions or purpose. As the old adage goes, whenever you assume, you'd make an ass out of you and me. Sometimes, I wish people would check with me first before assuming and judging or labelling me, for instance, as liars etc. That would have cleared a whole lot of misunderstandings and saved friendships.

Food for thought.

On a slightly lighter note, I've been having this toothache for the past few days. And sometimes it caused me headaches. Planned to go see the dentist tmr. Hope it's nothing serious that would affect both my teeth and my pocket. *prays hard*

Went to one of the parks the other day. Sitting by the seaside, enjoying the breeze, it was kinda soothing for the soul. In the midst of the great atmosphere, however, there were many things running through my mind that I wished there was someone beside me that I could share with. But all I could see was my own shadow, formed via the setting sun. That's sad, I know. I've only got myself to blame? I suppose.

Oh well.
