L-A: Hello World!

While I was prepared to be a parent, the impact of being one didn’t hit me until L-A was actually in my arms and both Esh and I had to care for her.

I always wondered why people bothered to have children especially since they seemed to be so much trouble, but now I know that it will never be possible to understand the love that a parent has for a child until a person has a child of his/her own…

VCD Spree

There was this VCD rental shop across the road from my faculty where I signed up as a member and borrowed quite a lot of VCDs while I was still schooling. (DVDs and DVD players were still quite expensive at that time and the DVD rental market was virtually non-existent)

Think I watched the most number of VCDs while I was in my final year as I had quite a bit of time to spare, but sad to say, once I started work, I have never visited the place again and I’m not even sure if it still exists now…

Sick in camp

One fine Saturday, I was supposed to book out of OCS after we were dismissed, but I didn’t feel quite right. It was the afternoon then, and I decided I could do with an afternoon nap.

I fell into a deep slumber and when I woke up, it was already nighttime! I was running a fever and feeling very weak in general. However, I found the strength to gather my things and go down to the public phone to call my dad to pick me up.

Wonder what would have happened if I was too weak to get out of bed? There was no one else around in camp and I would probably have lay there bedridden until Sunday night when people start booking in again…
