Did something crazy to take leave for RJCO concert last fri, and yup, i must say i'm absolutely glad that i did come out to watch them... Like i mentioned in the last post, the perc section is one of the most versatile and well-balanced I've seen and boy, they did not disappoint. Well done! While i was taxi-ing back to camp after the last piece (didn't stay for encore), i took a little trip down memory lane. Oh well, i guess this always happens when you watch your juniors perform. In your mind, you'll always relive the memories of the concerts where you gave your heart and soul just for the perfection of the few minutes on stage. That "do or die" feeling that is only possible in a sch and not anywhere else....
kk... b4 i book in again for another week of driving, shall leave u with videos of a fantastic composer, joe hisaishi.....

Went back to RJCO on labour day. Pretty much amazing how i feel much more alive everytime i come back from a CO prac. And omg, they playing crazy songs for concert this year. Pretty much like what we did for our esplanade concert 2 years ago, just that this time, the difficulty is even higher. The perc section really did impressed me... I think i've haven't seen a section as well-balanced and versatile as them since my batch. So yah, all the best to them for their concert.
Meanwhile for me, I need to pass my driving test to stay out so that I can attend the concert. So if you are a road user, pls keep the following in mind so that you'll not ruin the day of a driver from the organisation doing his test. 1. Pls do not park your vehicles on the side on the road in Ubi and Kaki Bukit areas, esp roads with single white line in the middle. 2. If u see a vehicle from the organisation with a double L plate (ie on assessment), pls do not overtake while it's turning or honk at it. Doing so will cause immediate failure. 3. Pls give way to such vehicles if they are changing lanes, dun make the poor fellow stick out his hand and his head for nothing. Aye... getting so sian listing all those stuff out... shall stop here. 1 more week to driving test!
Now that it's all said and done,
I can't believe you were the one
To build me up and tear me down,
Like an old abandoned house.
What you said when you left
Just left me cold and out of breath.
I fell too far, was in way too deep.
Guess I let you get the best of me.
Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.
You took a hammer to these walls,
Dragged the memories down the hall,
Packed your bags and walked away.
There was nothing I could say.
And when you slammed the front door shut,
A lot of others opened up,
So did my eyes so I could see
That you never were the best for me.
Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
I'm slowly getting closure.
I guess it's really over.
I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.
Well, I never saw it coming.
I should've started running
A long, long time ago.
And I never thought I'd doubt you,
I'm better off without you
More than you, more than you know.
Well, I never saw it coming.

And I never thought I'd doubt you,

I'm finally getting better.
And now I'm picking up the pieces.
I'm spending all of these years
Putting my heart back together.
Well I'm putting my heart back together,
'Cause I got over you.
Well I got over you.
I got over you.
'Cause the day I thought I'd never get through,
I got over you.

In class 4 driving now... pretty interesting experience, but gets a little stiffling after a while cos all you do is practical diving and theory lessons. Anw, tht's besides the point. My theory instructor there was a prison warden b4 and he was telling us how things were like in prison. One particular episode struck me and got me thinking. He was describing about this guy whose sole job inside is to pull the lever when they hang those who are on the death sentence. Yup... a job as simple as pulling the lever gets u like 2+k per month. However, the guy's always drunk even when doing the job. Nobody minded cos yah... no one wanted to take over his job... And then, he described the time when he had to pull the lever and how tht act caused him to be sleepless for a month... Cos nobody's a criminal on the death row, even the most hardened criminals are repentant... So it seems as though the punishment was on those living (the family, the person who pulls the lever) rather than the assumed criminal. But still.... , I am for the death sentence punishment...
Fast forward to in bunk. A fellow sergeant and I were talking bout war and its moral, ethics. Then he got to a point where he asked if an air strike is valued more than a person's life. My answer was pretty straightforward. Like duh, if you do not want to think bout the monetary value of an airstrike then at least think of its strategic value if deployed at another location instead of using it to save ONE life. But you know what, if I was there fighting, I WOULD call for an airstrike. And more laughably, if I was in HQ receiving the request for the airstrike, I WOULD approve it also.
It is a sin to be idealistic. The world has absolutely no tolerance for a perfect fantasy world. This world's pretty crazy, and i think that's how it works...
I know i should give up trying, every single thing points towards one logical and reasonable resoulution, but as usual...... my heart's in all the wrong places.....
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
Its hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you cant take anymore
Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone
When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
Youre caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you cant face the day
Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone
And there has always been heartache and pain
And when its over youll breathe again
Youll breath again
When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart
Let me be the one you call
If you jump Ill break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
Youre not alone
