My vineyards told me…

Singapore July 22nd, 2007

That no one is going to spill on who LTA X is, and personally, I think this is a good closure. Referring to my previous post, Singapore is not really a forgiving society and even though LTA X didn’t commit murder, Singaporeans will just refer him as the officer who AWOL and got pwned by 龙的传人.

But my vineyards, who had been mumbling and not being really clear recently, told me why LTA X AWOL’d. Apparently it’s because of personal reasons that he AWOL’d. So I think perhaps, it’s time for people - like myself, to bring out some compassion to the whole case. If LTA X had wilfully AWOL’d, thinking that he can get away with it, then I’d say, by all means - he’s taken the chances and it’s fallen flat on him.

On the other hand, if it’s because of personal reasons - particularly reasons of the heart, then I think Singaporeans should just be compassionate about it, close both eyes and get on with life. Here, we have a potentially good officer whose future has more or less been ruined. If you think he deserved to be punished, well, I think he’s got it from the system and the case should be closed.

Afterall, we are all humans and humans being humans, we have feelings. Just that sometimes, it gets the better of us - and if it happens at the wrong time, we end up paying the price for it.

Fallen ill

Daily July 22nd, 2007

I’ve fallen ill. Finally. This is something that had been hinging since a few weeks ago and I guess I’d try to take a good rest today. Sigh… haven’t had the chance to read the papers yet. :(

Teeth and gums are feeling a little sore and my throat is screaming with pain. Head is bobbing like a ball in water and muscles, aching from pins poking out of the bones. My nose is dried like the dessert desert and each breath is like brushing sandpaper against the tonsils.

I am sick. :(

Keeping in touch @ Kevin’s Farewell

Blogosphere July 22nd, 2007

Just came back from Kevin’s farewell @ Oosh this morning. It was quite a crowded and it seemed more than the 15 pax that was written on the reservation list at the reservation desk. :)

I met interesting people at the gathering but I’m really bad at names. So, in order not to offend anyone unconsciously, it’d be nice if you could drop a comment (and your blog? or contact, if you don’t happen to blog often) and it’d be nice to keep in touch via email/sms/msn. :)

And oh, I think I just forgot to foot my bill. Shucks! Er… who foot the bill in the end? Can I pay you back? So sorry…
