Momentary
Was on a leave today. I jolly-well might have all the excuses and reasons for taking medical certificates for getting overburned from last night's project mad-rush, go on holidays or just a day for family matters, study for exams. But for today, ask and my answer would be I have completely no idea why I applied the break for. Nope, not for a prolonged long weekend. The question and filling of leave application form was just as sudden as I least expected.
My day started at 8am. Watched this american drama series. Thought of heading for a tan today. Turns out ah ma said today was the last day of hell-gate's opening. Not "pan-tan" ("supersitious" in Malay), well, better to be safe than sorry. The wet weather didn't permit me as well, after all the considerable amount of incense-fernancing since yesterday night. Give the environmentalist a break. Tradition overrules i supposed.
Was expecting my crystal kris bears to arrive. Apparently it din't deliver until nine plus in the evening. Anxiousness transformed to relieve before turning into disappointment when I open the nicely-wrapped purchase to observe its arm positioned lower and detached from its sleeve. Not saying the arm is broken. It's just positioned away from its sleeve and the gap in between just makes the look weird. First was Johnny kris bear with the wire rope detached and uneffected waranty because the seller didn't stamp on the certificate. Man.. it's kinda mood-drowning. Perhaps I pinned too much hopes for.. satisfaction at higher-than-expected levels. I emailed the vendor and requested replacement to be processed.
Night time came when I just have to get this thorn in my mind - RT booking. It's dreadful. The schedules for selection is unconvenient for me given I have classes on Tue, Wed and Fri. Plus examination's due on 28th October and 5th November. Each RT session last three hours. Goodness, think i'll just take it as a gym session, getting reimbursed me for my attendence too..so that they could pay me more after I pass. How's that sound (?)
Well, this still doesn't bribe nor silence the frustrated inner soul, who's integri-ously having his hands on my head and shaking me awake, asking why we gotta be put through such tortitious obligations when the rest of the world ain't doing it. I mean you want the country to flourish economically, then why place so much emphasis on those who have served their commitments and you're getting fresh batches every year. It ain't physical fitness but discipline (de core) that forms the fundemental principle of the martians. But what can be done, everybody's too wimped to repel anything. The best solutions people are gonna fling at us "lgive up your citizenship and leave". It's just the same analogy as whistle-blowing.
Not suggesting havok.. just listen to what could be worked out and.. hey, we're not emphasising human rights.. just let us be what we can, be practical, and put our resources to better use, considering our options.
Indeed a rusty screw is unslightly, it holds the hinge for door
which serves as protection nonetheless.

Main lesson learnt for the blog? because life or things in life are imperfect, the more we have to discover how to notice the perfectness within the imperfectness.
