i viewed myself through a mirror,
and saw a light shimmering.
not good, not bad,
maybe neutral,
run by pure fury,
hiding deep beneath my eyes,
that isn't known to anyone at all.
in this place nothing matters,
only this light that has survived,
when everything else was cold.
no shock bothers it,
no darkness distinguishes it,
no glare stops it,
it's alive...
it's me,
this extraordinary side of me,
the question is what am I?
went back 2 jjc 2dy. haha. after like 3mths. lots has changed. no more container rooms sia. wat telah happen?
took my a lvl cert. man, it looked good. but i guess it cld haf been nicer. A B C D. haiz. ohh well.
played soccer wif e police guys of jj and e arts guys. woo, i scored a goal. a solo effort. haha. exactly wat i needed. dribbling 3/4 of e 'd' n placing e ball in e net. haha.
den we went 2 my kampung 2 eat, another ting i hadnt done in a long time. man e food there is simply superb. decided 2 go watch e soccer match at kallang btw singapore n malaysia.
dunno wat got into me but i invited my mortal enemy- my brother along. aack! wat was i doing. ohh well, wat goes arnd muz come around... i hope.
e atmosphere was kinda lacking. 18000 ppl. less den a hundred malaysians including my cousin, who had 2 endure much of our slurrs. there was this malay aunty who throughout e match was pretty much animated as she kept hurling curses as tho she was some avid soccer punter. haha. even her child didnt prevent her from 'enjoyin' e match. heck, i learned quite a few new words.
e match was kinda exciting but i was more distracted by e 'attack of the moths' tt was playin out simultaneously at e stadium. no, it wasnt a new movie. or a documentry. id say it was e moth mating season. a million? i dunno... seems a fair estimate had gathered arnd e 4 towering floodlights. some creeps even decided 2 divebomb at e spectators. literally falling down frm e sky as if in a trance after mating or getting electrocuted. damn. almost made us leave e stadium at 90mins. luckily, sadiq n me bro talked us out of it. or we wldnt haf seen e 2nd goal.
singapore has improved as a soccering nation. 2010 looks less of a dream. hmm, were gonna be 24 by then... who noes...
on e way back 2 kallang, saw an accident involving 2 taxis n 2 mercedes, a pile up. haha. stopped 2 take pics... haha. den saw muhammad who actually saw it happen.
got home by taxi. wierd, i was pretty generous today. gasp. ive been brain washed!
reached home den took a little nap b4 i was woken up by my bro to go midnight shopping. haha. fun. saw a ferari n lamborghini. lots of chicks too.
Sunday
to treasure somethin, u 1st haf 2 loose it. yea... most of e time, u realise this wen its 2 late. learn it e hard way, i guess. juz recently, heck, today even, a squad mate of mine passed away. abang rib-to-the-bone Zul met wif an accident at arnd 1 pm as he was on his way 2 a wedding at teban gardens. apparently, he was released 4rm duties earlier in e mornin ( he was supposed 2 remain on duty 4 some charity shit till 4 in e evenin) and oc told him 2 go back 2 relax. so he took e opportunity 2 go 2 e weddin. sigh. this dude is a real hell rider. a pro biker. but i guess, like my uncle, overcofidence killed him. he was tryin 2 catch up wif e gang wen he hit a truck. he got pinned underneath n died instantly.
i received a call at 1.30 frm sa'eed tellin me wat happened. kinda surreal actually. didnt belief a word... then again, tts how it is wen u hear news u dun wanna hear.
reality struck a chord wen i booked in at night. e once happy-go-lucky squad11 was damn sober and quiet. no one was in a mood for any crap or fun 4 tt matter.
at roll call, we were e 1st there. i didnt want 2 fall in. id rather sit down against a pole looking dejected. herrizad 4rm sq 10 helped me up n comforted me. damnit. zul was our best member. e senang hati guy who always scans e mess for e regulars. e guy who made famous e 'love eh' phrase.
at night, we had a little prayer n rememberance tingy. e alpha squads even gave some condolence money.
so i guess i gotta give a thanks shout out 2 all e ppl who sent their condolences in any means and all e friends who gave comfort 2 me n my squadmates during this tryin time.
e hardest pt of it all was us constantly reminded tt life has to go on. tt we haf 2 forget it happened, heads up.
Monday
e day started as how yesterday ended. yep. solemn n with thoughts making the air heavy. PDT was cut short as we had 2 attend e funeral. wen we came back, oc came 2 meet us. his words proved 2 b a tear-jerker. wat he said was infact vndicated by e newspaper report on zul. his's mom had said tt zul's dad had bought some biscuits n stuff 4 him 2 bring 2 camp. but it was sufficient 4 a few ppl. so he asked 4 more as he wanted 2 share e lot wif us wen he booked in. but he passed on b4 he could share it wif us. his mom had passed us e stuff wen we went visiting. emotionally, tt was juz priceless. to realise how much e squad has bonded. in oc's words, we are now and forever an incomplete jigsaw puzzle.
Tuesday

i decided 2 play a little game... actually, it came out by accident. ok picture this- i was standing in full uniform with reflective vest infront of e side gate, adjacent e main road. there was a bus lane. yep. cars started 2 filter out of tt lane upon seein me. haha. some even raised their hands 2wards me in sign of apology. haha. i noticed tt oni e female drivers passed along wifout changin lanes. i figured tt they didnt noe e rule. but there was this one lady who approached me (wen i had changed wif khamsya to the front gate) 2 ask if she would b booked coz she saw 'another' officer juznow taking down her plate no. as she passed in e bus lane. haha.
oh, i saw this one super chio chick. haha, hands down miss universe material.
