Life.Movie
So many things had happened the past two years, everything happened so quickly that I realised that times like this, which I take a little time off from everyone and everything for a little blogging becomes so fruitful and special.
I was hardly a good student in junior college; I’ve never pass spot checks for hair cut, skipped lessons when I cant wake up and constantly missed lessons due to other commitments. When I finally have time because I decide that homework needn’t be done, I chose to spend my time in the volleyball court or Safra’s shooting range.
Everything changed when I got enlisted. I went to command school and then into a combat unit. My hair has to be always short and neat, on time for every tasking and I must be discipline enough to deliver my best to the men looking up to me. It felt so weird and I hate that feeling. Sometimes I wish that I can well be just like one of them, finding flaws and loopholes in the system and test the extent that rules can be bent. Regimentation and discipline might be good but it can really drive someone crazy.
Imagine that life is a movie and we’re watching our lives on the screen. I’m sure that every single one of us will be surprise by the amount of transformation a person can undergo over a short period of time of maybe a year or two. I’m not talking about superficial and minor changes like appearance, but drastic, unknowing changes to a person’s behavior and character.
I’ve seen so many examples of people changing their attitude towards life in a short span of time due to environment and events that occurred in their life. I don’t deny that I am one of them.
Like exactly how Nic felt, maybe up till a year ago we are still leading boring and monotonous life but now our group will be out partying, clubbing, drinking every week be it in Singapore or overseas. We love nightlife and it’s great that studying no longer comes as no.1 priority.
Sometimes I thought that the break up last year was really a blessing in disguise for me to experience life. Honestly, I felt lost for a while but I knew it’s my chance to join my ever-adventurous coy mates to see the world in a different way. Well we only get to live once, why waste it when I have the time, energy, money and chance right now. I’m only just turning 21 in a few months time.
Like above-mentioned and which I still feel so damningly true, imagine life’s a movie and you’re watching your very own life story playing, what and where are the highlights of your movie? How is your movie beautiful and unique and who made it special. You have the choice, it might start with an alright scene but will it end in silent darkness?
