:: ATM ::
A new word I created... it doesn't mean that thing people use for drawing money but rather something I use for drawing strength to carry on despite all the shit...
ATM... Appreciating The Moment...
This week was bad... especially the last few days where my rifle got stun... Den kanna guard duty for my sat... I tried my best to guard my rifle during field camp and sitest so I dun kanna guard duty for weekend, I even volunteered to do earlier on so the lots wun even kanna me... but becos of my carelessness...
My time spent during guard duty has taught me this new skill called ATM...
Weekend duties are 24hrs... 3 details, this time i took detail 1, n my slots are 0600-0800, 1200-1400, 1800-2000, 0000-0200... so as u can see, I walked thru the blazing afternoon, the romantic dusk, the cold midnight and the dreamy dawn, what's more is that my duty place is TFT (Tekong Ferry Terminal) so basically I walked thru the hot sun, walked past both the sunset and sunrise, and under the moonlight. During my walk, I realise how beautiful the world really is... I started to realise how beautiful everything was...
When I booked out that sunday morning, despite knowing I'll be booking in the afternoon on the same day, I booked out feeling full of hope, love, joy and peace... The bus trip from sft to pasir ris den to my home never felt so relaxing before... just staring out the window while the bus moves never felt so peaceful b4...
At home, a shower never felt so refreshing, my boaster never felt so soft, my clothes never felt so comfortable b4...
In church, a simple 'hello' from a simple someone never felt soothing to hear b4, the smiles never felt so heart warming b4, the casual chattering sound never felt so tranquilizing b4...
Later during lunch at Eastpoint, a meal of unagi never tasted so sweet b4, even the simple conversation between brothers never felt so strong b4...
After I booked in, though my time spent as a civillian was short and I only manage to do just a few things but it was 1 of the most memorable day as the same things done were being seen from a different perspective... This is what I call... living.
Had a Vision
