So are you doing "ACTUAL" work?

Was at Changi Airport last Friday coz Arun was leaving for Gold Coast. A small group gathered to wish him well. Besides Joanna, Sha n her friend were there along with Arun’s family to see him off. Had mix feelings abt him leaving. I was happy for him. Happy to know that now he’s off to get a degree, something which will definitely enhance his career much further. Sad in a sense that I wun get much of a chance to see him anymore. Back while he was still in Singapore I din think of asking him out. Rite now, I wish I had. Gonna miss ya buddy. You thought me a fair bit ‘bout life n assholes. Your wisdom can’t be replaced and ur unyielding attitude towards life is an inspiration. Take care of urself and go get ur degree man…

Caught the movie Jarhead yesterday. Jarhead is a moniker used for the military and basically this movie was a military flick abt a soldier’s life during the Iraq war. Rated M18 by the censors and for good reason too. The show had a bit of nudity but the language was “colourful” to say the least. The movie also gave the impression that American soldiers are rather sadistic, but when you watch the movie on the whole, you’ll realise how real it actually is. I really liked the show although my friend beside me wished for more blood n gore. There was one scene where the soldiers had to crawl thru mud under barbwire while being fired at with live rounds. This was to simulate real-time war conditions, but of course the live rounds were aimed above the barbwire. My friend in the office also went thru the same thing when he had his 3 months training in the army. We all got the impression that they used blanks but he stunned us all by saying in his own words “they’re f*cking real you idiot”. The last sentence in the movie was really powerful. “Whatever else he may do with his life-build a house, love a woman, change his son's diaper-he will always be a jarhead. And all the jarheads killing and dying, they will always be me. We are still in the desert.”
