And Singapore’s Goondu of the Year is… ahem…

Dave Teo’s arrest for bringing a fireman… oops I mean firearm… to ORCHARD ROAD! How happening can Singapore get man? *faint* plus he gets his buddy arrested too…

I’m sure most of you guys and gals have read the headlines… and thought how stupid can this fella be… having just 1 month till ORD, and had to book out of camp just because of some relationship problem? Ahem not to forget… sneaked out with SAF’s property which happened to be A LOADED MACHINE GUN!!!!… meant for just friggin guard duty… Just what da blardy fark was he thinking man… allo just 1 mth till ORD wanna pull stunt… A serious contender against Steven Lim for Singapore’s Goondu of the Year. Boy I hope this entry doesn’t get “tomorrowed” or “stomped”. Edited this like more than 4 times so that it doesn’t have enough spice to get featured…

But it really doesn’t matter what I think or believe… things are still gonna move on… things will change and we all make mistakes regardless of how big they are… they do happen. And I really don’t know why I seem to be defending this guy but… everyone does deserve a chance right? But that really doesn’t mean that this guy had a good reason for bring firearms out of the authorized area… well… but what if there really were terrorists hanging out at Orchard Road… we’d have a young valiant AWOL Rambotan with a SAR ready to put ‘em out in a jiffy wouldn’t we? And Dave would become zero to hero…

*flock of crows flying past…. 

But seriously… gotta feel for the family and whatever he’s going through at the moment. Definitely ought have realized how incredibly silly he was… might even go for an insanity plea? Reminds me of that undergrad who has a compulsive mental sickness for stealing and shoplifting. Anyway… this guy just really found himself in deep shit. I think this has to be one of the most expensive lessons for anyone to learn on the planet. Need I say not worth it?

Which reminds me… if you’ve watched a documentary of the lives of the citizens in North Korea, this is nothing compared to what the North Koreans go through. Yes I’m seriously digressing here but this just struck me so hard. The people there are subjected to the purest form of dictatorship… and there, you can’t even tell the difference whether citizens live out of pure fear, or pure love and respect for their country’s leader. No one is allowed freely out of the country, and whoever does without the government’s permission faces immediate death, and if they do eventually escape from North Korea, their relatives get arrested and executed! There was a young man who managed to escape to South Korea, and when being interviewed and asked about what happened to his family, he declined to comment. Can you imagine how inhumane that is… you pay the price of your family’s life for your freedom. And all the wealth of the country goes to the government… and its just unbelievable that at this era there’s still such things going on.

Thank God this isn’t North Korea. 

Quite glad that I’ve fully recovered from cold and phlegm… and thanks to W, M, B, RN, for making life less sick than it already is… and my exam results were out yesterday. Passed 2 out of 3 papers… so I’m left with 5 more papers to sit for and I’m deciding to take it slow… just take 2 papers this year and see if possible to score well than flunk all 5 at one shot.

I will be going to school alone now that most of my uni friends have already graduated or deferred their studies… so that means I’m probably gonna make new friends this semester. Rather looking forward to sorta fresh start.

Managed to get back to running today, after a 1 week break due to being sick last week. Timing was bad but perspired a ton, so felt really refreshed and ready to take on the rest of the week. Probably gotta do some financial planning as I’m planning to open a new bank account with OCBC or Citibank (still deciding)…

Also decided to take a break from church for awhile. Starting to doubt that this church is where I should be, and I thought of looking to go somewhere else. Shift of priorities in my life choices, also figured that if I wasn’t moving along with the church’s vision, I’m probably just making the pple in there continue to question why I’m not as committed as they’d hope… can’t really get along well with the cell groups either… but I’m not severing my relationship with God either… cos no matter how I try I know it can never be done… I guess I’m too stubborn with how I want to go about my relationship with God that hardly anyone can actually reach out to change me.

Anyway… after running and panting and heart racing, I was reminded that it really doesn’t matter what you think or believe… its what you do with it in real life that really matters.

Bedtime… zzzzzz….
