RSAF Day Parade, 2Exits Musical and Gundam Seed Destiny HGIF 2
I have a tanline. No, I didn’t go swim, but I am in the parade for the upcoming RSAF Day. My beret has made a section of my forehead whiter than my entire face. Had 3 days of rehearsal this week, and I think if I continue like this, I’m gonna get sunburnt. Well, at least there are funny moments at the parade:
1) The crazy bugger who was in the present arms pose (hormat senja-ta) and my PS was checking everyone’s pose, when his phone rang. A warrant officer was standing just 2m away from him and he didn’t hear it, but my PS heard it and came over near his spot. She (yes, my PS is a female) tried to listen for the ringtone and locate the guy who had his phone in the pocket in the parade square, but she eventually gave up. When she turned away to focus on other guys, this fellow, in front of the people in the shade with other senior ranking officers vetting the parade, took out his phone, turned it off and then resumed the present arms pose. Strangely no one complained about him afterwards when the rehearsal was over.
2) The driver who was supposed to drive CAF to the parade square, after the GOH doormen opened the car doors and closed it, sounded a very cute and short horn before driving off.
I went to the 2Exits musical this afternoon that was organised by my friend’s church. A pretty good show, especially the parody of the “I Love You Baby” song - “I Love You Money”. The food was also good (if you exclude the bread and the grey “ang ku kueh”). Sigh. Today, again, I am forced into rethinking about sins, choices, destiny, the very existence of myself, God and Jesus. (The last time I did this, I couldn’t sleep for 3 hours. Maybe I’ll try this thinking method when I go outfield and manning sentry post at 0300 hours) This is one big headache for me. As much as I try to be sensitive to my Christian friend, I can’t help but keep finding excuses and neutral-ground reasons for her (my friend). During the prayer session, I asked God why in the world am I doing there, and what should I do now, because I had sworn not to interfere and keep a distance from her fellowship due to the fact that I do not want misunderstandings and complications to arise if I joined her fellowship on a long-term basis. Again, a simple trip to enjoy musical turned out into a headache-inducing and depressing one. Sigh. Can’t the world be much simpler?
Final entry of the day - saw Gundam Seed Destiny HGIF 2 at Suntec Toy Room. Argh. Time to spend money again.
