Rebel Heart

Lazy to blog.. But to prevent this blog from being stagnant, here's a joke for you.. Enjoy~!~!

Letter from mum

My dear Jagjit, I am in a well here and hoping you are also in a well there. I'm writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast. We are not living where we did when you left home. Your dad reading the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles.

I am not able to send the address, as the last Sardar who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they would not have to change their address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to take our earlier address plate here, and that our address will remain same too.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the toilet. But I'm not sure it works too well. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain, and haven't seen them since.

The weather here isn't too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.

The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket.

Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery.

By the way, I took Bahu to our club's poolside. The manager is Badmash. He told her that two piece swimming suit is not allowed in his club.

We were confused as to which piece we should remove?

Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.

Your uncle, Jetinder fell in the nearby well. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.

Your best friend, Balwinder, is no more. He died trying to fulfill his father's last wishes. His father had wished to be buried in the sea after he died. And your friend died while in the process of digging grave for his father.

There isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.

Love,Mom.

P.S : Jagjit, I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter.

Had a good laugh? Well, I did.. hahaa.. Every part of this letter seems to be hilarious starting from the first sentence of the body.. But my favourite part would have to be the "P.S." part.. kekeke.. you should know why.. =PpP

Btw, if you had noticed, i had changed my background song to Rebel Heart by The Corrs.. Though it's quite an old song, I've only started to hear it a few days ago.. and it's one of the nicest instrumental song I've heard for quite some time... =)

Dreams

Hey, guess wat? I have experienced weird dreams again yesterday nite.. Just like the dreams i posted on my last post, this dream was just as bizzare..lolx.. This time, it involves two of my present classmate.. Let's name them G and A -_-.. Well, the dream started out by G quarelling with A because A did not involve G much in the case study presentations.. I was sitting quite close to them and just listen to their arguments at first.. After some time, I couldn't take it anymore.. So I joined them in the argument, siding with A.. I bombared G with every possible questions.. and even VULGARITIES came out from my bad mouth... hahaaa.. I actually felt so gd then.. dunno why.. maybe becoz i was sort of like winning the argument.. lolx.. Anyway, in reality, A and G, as well as me, were in the same grp for the presentations and A was the leader.. And yah, G was not very much involved in our discussion but not becoz we did not let him to but mainly becoz everytime he got something else to do or find it pointless to join the discussions... But yeah, in reality, we nvr did come to any arguments concerning this.. lolx.. Weird dreams again~~

Sidetracking from dreams, I find my appetite these few days have been quite large.. hahaa.. Just today, I had 3 meals for lunch!! Yes, 3!!!! lolx... i first ate in sch at abt noon.. Then after sch, ate LJS at causeway pt, and after I reach home, I ate a meal again cooked by my mum.. Quite amazed at how much I can eat..lolx.. But sadly, as much as I would eat, I dun tend to grow any fatter.. ArGgGghhh, I wanna grow fatter!!! and chubbier maybe? Just like when i was young =PpP.. So Cuteee~!~! hahaaa... bleargh...

Oh yar, when I was at causeway pt just nw, saw someone whom i had a crush on abt a year ago, promoting the HWM magazines.. Didn't approach her though.. But seeing her after quite a long time, did make me smile to myself.. haaa.. (no, i'm not crazy okay..lolx) Just that sometimes, when you sees something or someone you like, it would give you a certain sense of happiness just by watching it/him/her and maybe a bit of satisfaction, if you will, for that split moment.. During that moment, whatever that may be bothering you dissappears from your thoughts, making way for whatever happy moments or memories that are associated with the thing or person you saw.. Agree? No??? Bish~!~! Maybe it only occurs to me then.. =)

Anyway, i'll end off with a couple of satellite pictures showing my neighbourhood area as well as SP.. To any terrorists, pls dun harbour any intention of bombing these 2 locations yar.. hahaaa.. JK =PpP

My house @ Marsiling -_-

SP, my 2nd home currently.. hahaa...

P.S.: All da best to kakak for her rebonding session tmr! Looking forward to her new look on thursday!! wahahahaa...

Loneliness

Loneliness, a part of me that I never wanted. A dream I hoped would've never come true but did. A pain in my heart that seemed to be boundless.

As I stepped into the room of people. I'm ignored, forgotten, unimportant.

I made my way to the back of the room and took an empty seat. Far from them. Far from the reality so cruel. My gaze, downcast. My heart, hiding in the insignificant shadow of my own grief.

"Jared! It's your turn now!"

I stepped out of my shadow. Into the scalding open. My eyes, rivet from the light. I spoke my part. Not knowing if I was noticed or otherwise. From far, a smirk appeared. I stepped back nearer, almost to the comforting darkness. So near yet so far. My hope shattered into infinite pieces. The broken force piercing right into my very being.

When the cue was over, I hurried back into my dark homage. Back into my dream, back into seclusion. My world in which holds no soul but me. A world I've to myself. I dared to venture out...I was never belonged. On to my own dimension, a hidden mist of words which I speak now , I dwell...

Loneliness... a part of me I never wanted...never did...

~Unfoundlegacy(KT)~

The piece above is not written by me but yeah, it somehow describe how I'm feeling now.. haiz..

And i've got weird dreams yesterday nite.. There were my lecturers, my poly classmates, my sec sch friends... so many pple but at different scenes.. But there's one scene which i remembered quite vividly.. I was with my sec sch classmates playing LAN games and surprisingly, there's this girl classmate(poly) in that scence too.. I shall not disclose on who it is in case i got beaten up by a certain sum1 =X.. haaa... but it's weird... weird becoz of that scene... and weird becoz this is the first time a few dreams came to me at one shot at a single night.. But nevertheless, I shall take them as just dreams that fills our mind when we are in deep slp.. shall not dwell on them too much, i guess..

Happy Birthday Singapore!!

It has been some time since I last posted an update.. Partly becoz I've busy with sch wrk lately and also nthg interesting to blog about.. And it's also a coincidence that for the past 3 posts and this, there is a 10 days space in between(see the posted dates and you'll see).. haha.. Anyway, its 9th August today, hence I would like to wish a Happy Birthday Singapore!! YEAH!!! Happy 40th National Day!!! WeEeEeEe~!~!

Yeap, saw the National Day Parade on tv just now.. Quite interesting since not every year it's held at the padang.. and everytime its held there, there would always be extra things such as the passing of the mobile columns.. Oh ya, first time saw Cai Chun Jia just now performing.. For a moment, I thought she looked like Stephanie Sun =X.. haha.. Anyway, the part that never fails to catch my attention for every national day parade would have to be the actual parade segment itself.. And for the last two years or so, it always reminds me of my time in NPCC back in sec sch.. Haiz, talking about it now really makes me miss the old times..

Warning: Whatever that is after this is a reminiscent of my CCA life. Reading it may cause boredom -_-

It's quite funny actually at how I initially did not chose NPCC as my CCA when I was in sec 1.. I was actually selected for the sch's soccer team.. But after being 'psychoed' by a fren and hearing negative comments about how my studies would suffer if i stayed in Soccer for my CCA, I 'jumped ship' to NPCC.. but that also means my chance of representing my sch in soccer was gone.. haiz, sad... hahaa..

First few months of NPCC life didn't go well with me.. But wat do you expect? A slacker like me suddenly being exposed to 'torturous' activities.. or rather 'life-changing' activites.. hahaa.. Drills, physical trainings, lectures and even games/sing-a-long sessions doesn't seems to amuse me.. And not to mention, every friday night will be spent on me ironing uniform, polishing boots and the constant seasoning of my beret.. Why? Because of trainings, trainings and more trainings!!! lolx.. But of course, as time went by, I became used to them and my attraction towards this CCA began to grow..

Then in sec 2, something happened.. A rather bad thing actually.. =X Me and my friends was charged with insubordination in NPCC.. Reason? Coz one of my frens suggested that we skipped this particular training.. And he came up with a letter and quite a few of us went on to sign it.. In other words, we had done a petition.. So, if i remember correctly, the petition was submitted and yeah, we did not turn up on that particular day.. Then the officer-in-charge got to know abt this and tink the next sch day, we were all called up.. Then as you would have expect, we gt lectured by him.. And soon, the vice-principal and principal got to know abt it too.. And they even told the whole school.. so 'malu' sia.. hahaa.. As for the punishment, I forgot oready how we were punished but I think we were just let off with a stern warning.. *naughty, naughty me*... =PpP Oh yeah, sec 2 life in NPCC was also memorable becoz of the NCOs? hahaa... yeap, tink that batch of NCOs that took care of us(the last ones before we became one ourselves) were the best!! Maybe becoz of the smaller age gap as compared to the previous ones..

Though sec 2 life was memorable, sec 3 and 4 life would have to be the best!! Why? Because it was during that time that we were the non-commisioned officers(NCO).. haaaa.. And yeah, as an NCO, I was the logistics head.. quite fun to go through whatever 'rubbish' was there in the NPCC room and store.. -_- Oh, and it was also during these times that we learnt rifle drills, the most interesting type of drills I feel.. Life as an NCO also brought about heavier responsibilities.. For every trainings, there would be a de-brief session.. Sigh, I miss them manzz.. lolx.. And i missed the two times when I became 'PO'.. Wearing full-uniform with the 'PO' thingy on the arm the whole day and commanding the parade at the start and end of trainings.. Cool!! hahaa...

Oh yar, what constantly reminds me of NPCC for every NDP is, as i had said earlier, the parade segment.. Since my life in Kranji, I've participated in my sch NDP.. Once as a marching contingent and twice as the leading contingent (Guard of Honour equivalent).. Being in the leading contingent was great, though carrying the heavy rifle isn't..haaa.. But for both times, I was the right marker for the contingent.. It also means you are one of the first three to lead your contingent into the parade.. That's quite an honour.. haaa.. What's regretful for both NDP as leading contingent was that we didn't get to wear the No. 1 uniform coz of the absence of any VIP present such as the members of parliament.. If only one was present.. haiz... -_-

Hmm, if I were to go through every detail of my NPCC life, until tmr oso cannot finish.. lolx.. But basically, I'm really missing my times there.. The weekly trainings, the rise from a cadet to a sergeant rank, participation in the sch NDP and of course the pple there, NCOs, CIs etc.. haiz... I miss everything and everyone.. Oh, and I have to specially say this.. I'm also constantly missing a certain someone from there! We have been constantly in contact but it's been about 3 years since we last met.. sigh, I've been longing to see her but evrytime didn't get a chance to.. haiz, nvm.. but i still do hope we'll meet soon to catch up.. =)

Okies, that's it for this update.. been slacking @ home the whole time today.. shall start on preparing for my case study quiz tmr.. haa.. Wish me luck! Ciaoz!!
