charge of the light brigade

attended meeting on monday at ntuc. chaired by deputy sec gen heng chee how, whos also MP for jalan besar grc, which is right next to my street. aniwae during the meeting, i forgot in what context, he mentioned

we don't go running into a thunderstorm holding a lightning conductor in our hand do we

which i thought was hilarious for some reason. aniwae he seems like a genuinely nice guy, for what its worth anyway

Ours is not to reason why. Ours is but to do and die

in the context of our everyday lives. Its about duty. its about doing ur duty without question, to push all doubt out of ur mind, and do ur duty, without fear of consequence
we always take this in a military context, but in our daily lives, its all the same

Neither here nor there

I miss perth rather badly

place yes people, frens all that, but most of all, i miss the freedom. I miss being free to do whatever I want, whenever I want, be it myself or whoever I want to do it with.
Back in Singapore, for the past few times, its alrite, cos its transient, I come back, at most a few months, and then i go back to Perth again. At the time, this transient state of cos wasn't ideal as well because you're never really here nor there. Just as u settle into a routine, you have to uproot urself again, and it gets tiring after a while.
This time though, I'm back for good. And i've missed Singapore, thats for sure. But its stifling. everything seems to be coming together and I don't see whats next. Its a feeling of being trapped, of not being able to breathe, of asking myself: 'is this what there is to life?' and not liking the answer that I give to myself.
I don't know what I need or even want, but i know this isn't it, but then again, its what I have to live with, this life. We make the best of what we have don't we.

So why do I keep thinking about Perth
