insensitive me.

i just committed something very insensitive, though it wasnt on purpose. today's bookout day on usual and i was on my way back home to bishan. an army friend that lives in bishan too was feeling hungry like me. so we went to macdonalds and had our meal as per normal.

then i popped a question (in chinese), "how come you eat out, no one's cooking at home" he replied " who's there to cook for me". i said "your mum? she's working ah?" he told me "she's already in heaven, how to cook" then i sort of changed the topic. in the midst of eating, i sneaked a peek at him and saw his eyes were red and watery. i realised i just released the floodgates to his memories. sometimes insensitivity can really hurt, and i realised im guilty of that this time.

when i went home expecting home cooked dinner by mum, i realised she's working. fridays are normal off days but because of her annual golf sales, she's not taking any off days as a sales supervisor. no off days for the whole of a month and she's practically working 5 1/2 days. i feel it's so absurd to do so but she's plain stubborn. it's like she's reaching her threshold but she just doesnt relent.

i read a movie review on the movie "click" a few days ago. the lesson they reviewer said viewers ought to take home should be not to take things around you for granted.

how true is that... for negligence can only result in pain.

i just watched tokyo drift with quek and ys at tpy and it bears resemblance to initial d lah. but nevertheless, it's those kinda movies you get a kick from the action and that adrenaline rush from the dolby surround sound systems hahaha. after that, we went to eat mango ice and chit chat. and yet after that, we went to lorong 8 to have supper. apparently, i know two of ys's church friends. one was my jc classmate and another is my army senior, it's freaky how intertwined our lives can be... but gladly in a positive way!

this week passed seemingly peacefully or rather, i'd say it's yet another week in the army. except that i picked lots and unforunately became a toolbox i/c. what luck hor. also, the ICTs came in for their reservice and my friend and i were like teaching/refreshing them on our daily checks. and my flight oc was talking to me and my friends over lunch. he's quite a nice and warm superior considering his background - a scholar who got his bachelors at edinburgh and masters at yales in econs. in fact, he was asking if we were interested in going on an overseas exercise in thailand for the whole of january next year. a remuneration of 750 bucks but at the same time, the whole of cny will be burnt lah. moreover, i reckon i'm not the outfield kinda guy.

had our usual flight run which was around 3-4km but i thought i could have lasted further at the pace. am feeling so motivated to run and pump! let's hope this motivation that's brewing isnt a fleeting one! :)
