Good times, bad times... What time is it?
Well, Sunday is considered as a family day for my family since young (except for camps and scouting stuff). My dad would have broken my limbs if I didn't abide to that rule he set upon the household. I used to hate it, as I find that it is just wasting my time away... I was more into going out with my friends and chiong around.
Looking back, it seems that I never regret the choice I made to stick to that rule. Well, my family constitutes a male dominant environment, moreover, we are very quiet people who keep things to ourselves. I have to admit, I seldom talk at home even though there is a topic for me to do so. Maybe I'm just lazy or its just troublesome.
Sunday... I woke up early (11.00am) that day. Reason being that I would like to visit and support some scouts who are volunteering and working hard, at NTUC Tampines Mall, for the President's Charity event. Honestly, its kinda weird to see them in uniform walking around with the trolley to sell Kit-Kats. However, its in the name of charity, so might as well do something for the society.
After which, it was the beach outing with my family. Well, I wasn't really in the mood to do much activities, thus I did the job of overlooking my two brother skating around. Well, we stopped after a while and decided to head down the water for a swim. Honestly, I didn't bring along any spare clothes or boxers to change... I just took off my shirt and belongings and head down. The wave was rough and strong, which was what I was hoping for actually. After swimming for a few minutes, I lay on the sand and looked up in the sky to drift off into my thinking zone.
I thought nothing and fell asleep instead. The breeze on my face as well as the sound of the laughter and waves... it was really cooling and relaxing. I guess I needed that break after all. Well, all good things seems to last for a short time, I guess. It didn't take long before its time to head off for dinner and home.
Seeing scouters coming back to scouting is really a joyful feeling. I do not deny that jealousy of them having more opportunity do not exist... however compared to seeing them around and enjoying scouting with them, beats those negative feelings. Humans will never fully comprehend true happiness as long as negative thoughts such as condemnation, greed and jealousy existed. When I looked back in my scouting life so far, I am glad that I was given many chances to prove my worth as well as to do my best in my areas... however, there maybe some areas that I lagged in, which needs some improvement.
How does one feel when you know that someone is waiting for you, yet you're waiting another? Everyone would experience this at least once in your lifetime. It doesn't only mean in relationship, however also through meet-ups and stuff.
Well, I thought about the word 'regret' some time ago. Sometimes, when humans make choices and regret over it... its kinda sad to see them demoralize and destroyed. Simple choices such as dinner or activity to the extent of complicated choices of relationship and marriage. That may be the source to destroyed families due to divorces and break-ups.
Emotions... all humans have that. Its just the matter of the use of this element in your life. Whether to let it control you or you controlling it. There's no need to force or to implement controls in your life to manage your emotions. If you're meant to be emotional, so be it. God created each human different... gave each human different characteristic and abilities... How you want to use those gifts that He had given you... all depends on YOU!
Wisdom keeper asked: "Why do scouts have scouting names?"... Honestly, its the tradition that I know about. I believe that in the past, warriors or people who prove that they are worthy to be warriors are given names of animals as a sign. Thus, that tradition was brought forward into scouting. Lord Baden Powell had many scouting names, however the most common one is "Impeesa" - The Wolf that never sleeps. (Click link to read about it, further).
To that little girl, well, if you believe that he is yours, go for it. Don't cry over trival matters... I believe in you.
To the suicide partner, thanks for your birthday cake. Haha it was quite filling until I skipped lunch and dinner... Haha just kidding...
To Turtle, 10%... don't forget!
To Russian Bear, good job on getting more involved in the unit matters. Now's your time to come out of hibernation and go for hunting.
To Joanne (if Wisdom Keeper sees this, there's no underlying meaning... whaha), keep up the good work on the minute writing and administrative organisation. If Yan can cook, so can you write (no link... randomness).
