Mayhem

The word that describes it all. The NKF saga, the late nonchalant reply from the prosecutor, the sooo many choices of lights, and the busy schedule that awaits next week.....

3000 over pple withdrawing their monthly donations to the NKF. From the fact that their money could be fueling something else rather than the needs of kidney patients alone, i can hardly see why. However, the argument is that the CEO has contributed alot to the organization and has done things unimaginable. He has MADE THE DIFFERENCE. Is withdrawing donations an act of impulsiveness from the public?For me, i think twice whether i wanna withdraw my monthly donations. It is not about him i think about, it is abt the patients. Ok, u can say that this is all bull s*** and a load of crap. But then the question is, how is this saga going to change the charity scene in Singapore? Will Singaporeans become less charitable as a result? I do really hope that if Ah Kow withdraws his donations to NKF, he will put it into another charity. In that way, the net total donated will be the same. Singaporeans will still remain as charitable. Who are the real losers in this? For me, it is not the CEO nor SPH nor you donors out there who feels like you've just been cheated big time. For me, it is those who needs the money most who have lost the most.

Porno and pirated stuff were involved. There was more than 5 pieces and hence I had to seek for advice from Legal Services(the legal department in the SAF) on what to do with the serviceman.(He got caught in possession of those items by the MPs) That happened almost 2 months ago. Today, politely i sent an email to the prosecutor in charge and he nonchalantly tell me that oh....he is scheduled for court marshal next wed...... WOW. No advanced notice, no instructions on what to do, no info no nothing...It was 5.15pm. To make things worse, my chief clerk had to get to her antics again and started getting worked up and concerned over this issue of procedures we have to follow up blah blah blah.....Racing through my head was a single tot which went "sheesh...got enough time to prepare everything necessary? tomorrow got safsa open and pds meeting...next week got inter-formation, mes family day meeting, AHM training.....by Wed, need to choose defending officer, need to get the documents ready....how??" So little time.So many things to settle. Time by Hamon Well....5.25pm. The bochup side got the better of me. Packing my bag, locking the office, getting the clerks to lock up the area, i stepped out of the office, and made my way out of camp, totally not thinking abt the issue, leaving it only for tomolo...leaving the worries to tomorrow. Besides, tomorrow i should be able to think more clearly, more concisely, more efficiently.......

There was a last min change of instructions and me dad and i went down to IKEA to get some lightings with me mom. It was wierd fer me, wearing army uniform walking around, getting frequent looks from pple. But if ya noe me, i don't really give a s***. Anyway, i was bedazzled as we walked into the lighting section, and i got really confused trying to look at all the lights, trying to see which one is nice and fitting.(Literally blinded by the light.) And then my mom and dad got into one of their usual conversations......
" eh how abt this one?"
"What are you toking abt??!?#%#$&....this one too long lah....so short, i want one hanging one"
"Darling ah...wait. Darling!!....see Hamon....ur dad always like that one...always walk off never wait for us..."

Now my head is really spinning..........


Make A Difference

Won't you Lord, Take a look at our hands
Everything we have, use it for your plan
Won't you Lord, take a look at our hearts
Mold it, refine it, as you set us apart

We want to run to the altar
and catch the fire
to stand in the gap between the living and the dead
give us a heart of compassion
for a world without vision
We will make a difference bringing hope, to our land.
