"i am free to be who i really am... no pretenses, no broken promises, no fear... just a life packed with hopelessness and unattainable dreams, 'cause im just livin' like i shld... my life..." everyone has hopes and dreams but dun they know that hope is the denial of reality and that dreams will forever be just dreams?

[040507] BRTC Parade Square Friday night, 2200 hrs
Time: 2110
Date: 04'May'2007
Venue: Marche, Vivocity
Situation Report: Subject Turion was serving a guest his Pork Knuckle when he was approached by the Restaurant Manager Jason with an urgent message to call Firrdaus back and that, there was a recall. His phone was ringing, he looked at the number - SCDF ARMS system number. The standard message came along, he entered his IC number, but the following message was new and surprised him. "...report to BRTC Parade Square. Report to BRTC Parade Square..."
Shit... called Syarif and immediately confirmed the authencity of the recall... shit... went to talk to kelvin who told me to go, diez, jia latz... took the bag and immediately left the outlet, not even stopping to change, started taking off my apron and shirt as i walked towards the entrance drawing a lot of curious stares from the guests in the queue...
Rushed down to the usual taxi stand only to realise that it was packed, packed would be a huge understatement... the queue snaked at least thrice... shit again.. decided to take a gamble and wait across the street near the bus stop, wasted another 15 minutes... during which, my phone kept ringing either with calls or messages either informing or asking if i had already known about the recall... pissed...
activation was at 2100, had 1 hr to report back to camp. I only realised at 2110 hrs, by the time i called comfort for taxi booking, it was already 2125, shit again... wasted 25 mins already, left 35 mins more... realised that i was waiting at the wrong place... shit shit shit... ran back into vivocity, down the escalator, and from the east wing back to the taxi stand, Citycab 4789 was already waiting for me, finally, something good that happened... long story cut short, reached camp, ran all the way in, changed as fast as i could and headed down to foyer - the assembly point...
Greeted the rest of the instructors and PCs and all were visibly in the same pissed yet humoured mood i was in... started trading stories on where we were and how we got there... a scene to behold indeed... Commander came to talk to us, telling us how proud he was of us.. etc etc... main point, commander approved half day off for entire battalion to be scheduled by OC of individual units... power lah Sir! but problem, i didnt take the reciept for the taxi ride from vivocity to camp and im not sure if i'll be paid for my supposed work day today... of all the days, they decide to activate a recall, it had to be today... god damn it...
oh well, asked kelvin if i had to return, he told me never mind... at least im early at home on a friday night for once... heh... and taxi fare back home can be claimed and for those that are without reciepts, can also claim... whether this is true or not, im not certain but let's hope it's true... one hell of a night to remember by... sweating like mad, running around in vivocity and in BRTC, cursing and swearing with the rest of the guys in the bunk after everything... fun it turned out eventually but not exactly something to look forward to... and there's gonna be one more next year... let's hope i find myself in a better situation than today the next time... nursing a huge-ass headache now... ouch.. need to concuss... ZZZzzz
