Breaking the Habit

Song by Linkin Park





Its the period of time again. It happened about a year or two ago and now its happening again. People around me start to die. Life is fragile. You dont realize that until things like this happen.


My close colleague's husband passed away 2 weeks ago. I went with my wifey to visit her. She was quite disraught and my wifey gave a good hug. My other colleague's grandad passed away too. She had it better cos she did not seem so sad when she came back.

Stop and Stare

Song by One Republic

As I walked down the path I heard a rumbling noise behind me. In a split second, I realized that it couldn't be a dog cos its too loud so I turned and looked. The 2 brothers who were behind me were stunned and nailed to the ground as they saw what I saw.
It was a humongous wild boar, biggest one that I ever saw in real life, stomping past us. Just when we thought it was over, a small little version came scuttling out to follow the mom. All of us were shocked and surprised. We talked about the incident the whole afternoon.
That was my third trip to Ubin. I loved the place . It is one of the islands in Singapore that is idyllic and untouched with a little bit of kampung life. As I did the last time , I cycled, together with the two brothers from the mosque. Both being half my age, were going faster than me. It was quite fun going around the island. Especially at Che Jawa where we get to see mud skippers, crabs and other creatures that hang around the mangroves. Everything went well till one of them fell down from his bike down the slope. He had a cut at his eyebrow and bruises on his arm. I took him to the hospital to see if he need stitches. It turns out he didn't. Thank God, Alhamdulillah.
