Strange Day

Dear Diary,

Today must be one of those strange days. It was supposed to be the first day of my 2-day reservist medical vocation training (MVT). However, after reporting at the School of Military Medicine (SMM), they told us the training was cancelled! It is a pleasant surprise but somewhat really unexpected. I went for an early lunch with my army buddies. I then proceeded to a nearby pharmacy at the vicinity, hoping to pay a classmate a visit but she wasn’t around. She is doing afternoon shift today.

I went home and caught a good afternoon nap. After which I proceeded to Junction 8 in the evening to meet up with a another former classmate. However, on the way there… my hand phone battery died off. Hmmm… since I was in the vicinity of that same pharmacy I went in the morning and the fact that I was early for the appointment, I thought I could dropped by to say hi to that classmate and get the hand phone number of the other classmate whom I was meeting later.

Coincidentally, she was out for dinner when I arrived at the pharmacy. I asked the store assistant and she told me that the pharmacist rarely leaves her pharmacy for meal breaks. How “lucky” I was! When she did arrive, I had a short chat with her, got the phone number and rushed off. At the MRT train station, I rushed onto a train only to realise that it was bound in the opposite direction I was supposed to go! So, I arrived for the appointment slightly late. Had a dinner and dessert at Café Cartel, and sad to say, the service sucked.

The waiters were impatient and lack any social etiquette… clearing any plates they deemed fit… till I stopped them for touching my plate which still had a morsel of chicken & mushroom macaroni left. Nonetheless, had an excellent chat with this classmate whom I never went out alone before in my life…. Really missed those days. Sadly, I am a pretty sentimental person. Sometimes, I hate myself for holding on to past memories. I should learn to be more “forward-looking”.

Although I am a Christian… I really am quite clueless at times where my life should be heading. How I wish God showed me more clearly. Many people told me that career-wise, I seemed to be doing very well. Then again, life is more than a career. I need that purpose, that motivation and that someone whom I can share my success with. Are my expectations too high? I don’t know…. I just hope I don’t find that’s the case only when I am past 30 years old!

Since I have a free day tomorrow, I may just attend a church service in the morning. Really pray that God can instil direction in my life. Clear ones I hope. =) I sure hope you people know where you are heading!

God Bless,

Andrew
