Hopeless Romantic

15 September 2017

It's exactly 11:45 pm Singapore time right now as I start on this blog post and many thoughts are racing through my mind. I guess it has been a rough couple of days and right now, I don't really know where I'm going with my life or where I will end up.

Just as I was thinking like this, my dad just came home after a long day at work and sat down for a home cooked dinner. In my head, I was assuming that it was just my dad who was going to eat but then I saw my mother carrying an empty plate. That's when I realised that the whole time my mum was home she was waiting for her husband to get back home safely before she herself ate. It was really such a small gesture and maybe it was an emotional period for me but it was really heartwarming to witness that small act of love.

My mum nor dad aren't ones to show their love openly even though I know for a fact that they love each other and their children with all their heart. It's in these small ways that they show their love and I guess that's still nice yeah.

My parents had an arranged marriage when they were really young - my mum, 16 and my dad, I believe, was 23 - and so there wasn't any beautiful loving relationship pre-marriage to tell their kids about. What they do show, through their actions, is that they've learnt to love each other after their marriage.

That's just one thing I want in my future I guess.

Just an update

Hi, So I found out that I still had this old blogspot account of mine from back in 2010 about a month ago and I decided I might as well use it as a diary of some sort. Fast forward about 7 years from then, and many things have changed. I've done a few questionable things, I've had happy memories, sad ones but I don't regret the position which I'm at now. Serving my National Service at Geylang Neighbourhood Police Centre probably makes me very privileged and I'm waiting to go to SMU to further my studies after I ORD, yet I feel no sense of purpose nor motivation in life. I spend my free time playing and watching shows and yeah sometimes I do enjoy it but I feel like I've lost the drive, passion, curiosity that pushed me to do new stuff, find out about things and what not y'know. Maybe it's just NS making me feel like this, useless and redundant and what not, but then again I feel it shouldn't be an excuse to be this slack. I wanna be productive

A problem I encountered and how I solved or managed it

KK Hospital Almost everyone knows my hand got fractured recently. In the previous post,I told you about how my hand got fractured.And of course,I ALMOST solved it by going to the hospital.I went to Singapore General Hospital and I went to the Emergency centre.I waited for like 30 mins before I saw a nurse.The nurse took my blood pressure(I think?) and then I had to wait again for like another 45mins before I could see a real doctor.The doctor asked me to clench my fists,move my fingers then he asked me to take an x-ray.So,I waited for 15 minutes and then I took my x-ray.After that,I had to see the doctor again but I had to wait for 1 hour for that.After that,the doctor looked at the X-ray and told me that it was a sprain.So,I went home,relieved. Radiant rays of the sun enveloped my neighbourhood. I woke up after a long day passed.I looked at my hand to check whether the swelling decreased.I was still wondering how a sprain could look so scary.That day flew very fast.I didn't

My thoughts

This isn't an one-time occurrence. Almost everyday or every other day atleast, there would be a certain event that makes me reflect on my actions and subsequently makes me think and feel that I have to improve myself to be a better person and that there are actions I can take to achieve that. The problem, however, is that I rarely act upon on these thoughts in a successful manner. Yeah, many times I have done what I felt were the right steps to enhance myself but I never sustain these measures. Consistency and determination are two attributes I desperately lack. My day to day life is always so lacklustre and I always expect my life to be better than this yet I do nothing to make it as such. Above it all, I feel like I know where my problems lie but I just don't bring myself to rectify them. I stick to my easy lifestyle way too much. I feel that in the end, it is up to myself to gather the willpower to better myself but when will that day come? Where or who should I be lo
