Orders a kuay teow soup and kopi peng...
I stayed for Lenten Vigil last night;11pm to 6am.
I looked around for something to hold on
I needed stability, and this gathered in the horizon.
Walked towards it, and last night, arrived.
Apprehension, excitement, beat in my breast,
But like no other than the pounding of faith.
I came to seek, but shall I find?
Nothing. I became desperate. Gave way to
Despair. I pleaded for a voice, none
Came but the slash of dismay.
Then He came by
With his boldness and faith,
With such freshness I nearly buckled.
He spoke the message,
The wisdom that the trappings of society
Cannot fathom. No.
It was, is, a call to arms.
No, not a battle of ego as we know
But one that finally conquers all
Like of Calvary.
Morning. The Passion gently melts
But not shall this smarting wisdom.
Like metal in mouth,
A taste so foreign,
Yet one I can never run from.
So help me.

A day in the life of.... 11:38 pm
Warmer is the satisfaction one gets from helping a complete stranger...
A staple remover...rubber bands...ink stamp...guess the profession...that's right! My current freakin' job.
There are certain things that are not exactly going my way at work. But what the heck! I seem to forget (for about half a decade, mind you) that not getting things our way is an apt opportunity to learn. Turning adversity into a decent situation is training towards building character.
Yup, character is sometimes the one thing we who aren't born into the "greater age", grey matter with silver lining. Character was what we built in my alma mater (ha. hmmm...what about the intelligence bit...)
Being taking runs in the evening after work. Its nice to run in the solace and comfort of darkness. Surprisingly not intimidating. It centres, cleanses.
Well, my princess is having her final paper tmrw. She will.
How?!?!?!?! Should I head east, or west?

Gentlemen....can you hear wat is calling...? 5:02 pm
Arghh...Monday is calling out to me. Work beckons!!! I had better get used to it.
For those interested what I currently do at work:
-Uncle Yew, the warehouse's 65 year-old relic, just went on a China tour with his missus, therefore I am taking over as a stand-in at the warehouse. I now realise how much his 33.5 years of experience means. I did Day One of cashier duties on Saturday and it nearly turn disastrous. Book keeping, dealing with impatient truck drivers, and freaking trying to tally the day's accounts. Sai kang, as Yong calls it.
-On a happier (its just the lesser of the two evils), my manager has assured me I will be part of the administrative and operations upheaval, which was the initial draw of this internship. Let's hope that goes on fine. It has been so far exciting.

Yup, the Carebears 4:50 pm
Orders a bowl of cereal and laksa...
Yup, it has finally come full circle; the Carebears finally KNOW we are the Carebears.
A little background in a broadstroke: Lucas started calling the gang (Ian, Russ, Kel, Joe and I) the Carebears with a rather mocking undertone, but all in good humour.
So Yong recently re-ignited this Carebear talk and we realised dear Ian did not know of this nomenclature. So, our dear Joe Saw (truly, he should work for Mediacorp!) researched on the cartoon series (Carebear) and have assigned us each a character that best suits our personality. I got "Do your Best" Bear. -_- haha.
