Tragedy

I live in a really boring small town where nothing ever happens. but today a couple of fire engines, about 3 other smaller c.d vehicles an ambulance and a crowd of people gathered around the market area of my small little-known estate. I bet you're dying to know whats going on now.

So what's going on? As I walked towards the market area, I noticed the civil defense was setting up an air bag below a block. By then it was pretty obvious what was going on. I looked to the top of the block, there was a Malay boy probably about the age of 15 ( I think) sitting on the ledge on the rooftop. about a 100 people had gathered around the area now. I proceeded past the crowd, snapping a few pictures along the way then went to get that ice-cream I was craving for since I got home.


So I got my ice-cream and came back to watch the drama unfold.
It isn't clear but you can see a figure up there, he was sitting on the ledge. I wondered what kind of thoughts the guy could be thinking. maybe he was just enjoying the wind and the view from up there and felt irritated that so many people were watching him? I stuck around for awhile to listen to what the people there were saying. Most of the people there were banglas, old people and ah bengz


I also wondered that if the guy jumped, would he land on the airbag? If he wanted to kill himself, he could just go to the other side of the block and jump. but he waited long enough for the c.d to set up airbags to cover one side of the block and (I assume) have people corner him to one side of the block up there. Then I wondered, if the guy had decided not to kill himself anymore, but would jump anyway, just to see what a 12-story fall onto an airbag would feel like. one of the aunties watching made a comment about how if he wanted to jump, he would have done so, long before the police and civil defense team arrived.

I didn't stick around long enough to see the final outcome, but my guess is that he didn't jump.

Its over

I'm done with work, so done. I was looking to leave the office early today, unfortunately there were some last minute work I felt obligated to complete. Well the last day's still a working day and even if I was just a lousy temp or not, a job's a job and I wouldn't want to be deemed socially irresponsible.

So now, I either can waste my life away while waiting to serve ns. Or I can make use of my time and do something useful. I'm hoping to strike a balance between the two. So besides, wasting my life away slacking and watching too much tv. I needa make a list of things to do, most of it which I should have been doing but.. but.. I blame work. so here goes, 10 things:

1. Learn to swim really well (I think I'm gonna need some help on this one)
2. Train up my stamina
3. Read more novels
4. Jam more with the band
5. Write more and better songs
6. Record and produce the songs with decent quality
7. Play our own songs at a gig (who's willing to accomodate us?)
8. Stop neglecting my guitar, piano and drumsticks
9. Play more soccer with the team
10. Get a macbook!
11. Fall in love... before I finally grow up and can never have ignorant sweet teen romance again

opps, there're 11.. I just had to put no. 11 down though it won't happen. Why, well for already obvious reasons and that I have what?.. 5 months left before I am thrown and trapped in a place devoid of girls for the next 2 years of my life. Having someone to have to wait for you for 2 years isn't a very good idea as well. See how thoughful I really am? In any case, the more you rush it, the faster it blows up.. and I'm in no hurry to blow up. really.

Time, we never have enough

With months to burn before serving ns I though.. I have so much time on my hands, I should get a job or smth.. So I slept for one week, then went straight to work the next.

Now, 2 months later.. I've got 3 more days till I quit.. If the world is round, then we already know where I'll be serving my ns. unless the unlikely happen and I failed my psychiatric evaluation, I'll have at least 5 months of freedom left..

5 months can seem an awful long time if there's nothing to do, and I won't be working.. So for the remainding time left, I wish to complete a list of things.. things I'd like to do while I'm still er, not adult.. cause once I go into ns, I won't come out till I'm 22, jaded, boring and boring..

So this page will serve as a reminder for myself, of myself.. for a year thereafter, I probaly won't be, never be the same again..
