OBS

man. it was a pathetic camp. but it was fun only after ur finished with it. ironic aint it? it was a really tiring camp. first we counted our items we had. store check n d rations. man i hate those. i should have stuffed myself with them man. next we had kayaking lessons. we learnt fast. d next day was a really tiring trek into d jungle. d weather sucked man. raining in increasing torments. n d bagpack was like 20kg? man i carried d damn pot n more than half d can rations man. hahah. training. of all d aching body parts d most painful was my neck. What is this man. that night was good. proper bath facilities. a good scrub was heavenly. that night was pathetic too. overall i got less than 8 hours of rest throughout d 5 days. man d rain sucks. but somehow after experiencing all this hardships. u really learn how 2 emphatise with those homeless n poor. suffering is really too uncommon in this society. either that or its really hidden too well 2 notice. its like theres no more compassion. charity shows r too common as well. i lose count n its like now they have become no big deal. this is bad. anyway we had another day of trekking n another miserable night in rain. then a whole day kayaking trip from 8 - 7. MORNING 2 EVENING lah. yupp then came d easy part of packing up d store. n d homecoming. but now filled with more compassion rather than complaints.

The Future

im sec 3 this year. good? i dunno man. during d holidays i had too much time on my hands so i spent it thinking about "the Future". would i get married. what job would i have. how 2 raise children. all this crappy questions. dont get me wrong ah. i mean its kinda weird how fast time flies. when suddenly ur forced 2 rise up. its freaky. one day ur like enjoying life. d next ur part of it. man its too fast. now im realising that i dont wanna grow up. but we all have 2. as i thought about those questions i remembered a song. it goes something like this

Many things about tomorrow
I dont seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.

Amen to that. so this chorus kinda reassures me that someone's watching over me.
