choices,
Tuesday, May 12, 2009
my sister is currently slogging it out somewhere in ubin battling hordes of sandflies and mosquitoes.
yep, that's right shes in obs. Her absence made me think back on my experience in obs, but i soon found out that my memory of that event, despite me being a pro-camp person (think: camps aid in bonding) is close to zilch.
I can't even remember who i kayaked with (i think it was melvin) or who was in my group. All i can remember was that majority of my time was somehow spent with kj and linky (who were both in another watch) but our watches stuck together as a group in expeditions.
All i can vaguely remember is ... some shovel (which i forgot its name) but soon recalled it had something to do with dota, then i remembered it's called tool of entrenchment. (no prizes for guessing its purpose) and my wonderful experience with it (first and only contact - thank god) .
Then next was the time we were stoning in the toilet while waiting for our turn to bathe with Kj and linky after 3 days of mobile and our FIRST EVER time stepping into a modernized toilet in obs campsite.
My last memory would probably be lugging some imba heavy bagpack and making it to our "somewhere hidden in the forest" campsite where we heard some wolves(?) howling and some other people howling as well (sounded like some old men were singing karaoke).
This post was about making choices, I thought long and hard about the issue during my bus ride home. Choices like choosing to do something, to turn up for something or not to do something or not to turn up for something. Strangely though, while I thought of many things, I suddenly can't recall a single thing. lol.
I called up my tuition teacher randomly today. Okay, actually it was not that random, I realized that my POA was missing and felt insecure that my harry potter collection was incomplete so I called to check if it was with her (LOL). Had not spoken to her for like 2 years. I'm not sure what was the purpose putting that here.
But my short convo with her made me realize 2 things. 1. Something really needs to be done about how I speak, I used to be able to code switch. But then somewhere along the line I decided to be lazy and thus led to a downward spiral such that I now talk to everybody like they're some ahbeng I befriended at the market. 2. make important choices wisely from now on.
