Amalgamation

It was the last day i was supposed to be at work for the year so i gladly took the role of being the day's leader in-charge.


That was till we got a call from the big boss who was angry with how dirty our area was. He wanted the whole company to fall in. Now.


the terror of his coming filled the enemy with madness


All the leaders in the office with me felt a cold shiver down their spine. I knew he would ask for the one in charge. I tried to steel myself. Then we heard him shouting from just outside the office for the guys to fall in. NOW.


The wild men fell on their faces before him.


The next thing we knew he broke through the doors of the office.


The Orcs reeled and screamed and cast aside both sword and spear.


Leaders and followers in their terror all fell in together. He called out the leaders and made them sort out the guys in their respective groups.

Then he called for the ones in charge of each group.


Like a black smoke driven by a mounting wind they fled.


I didn't go forth. But i could hear him asking which group was on duty, and the leaders who went forth all said it was my group.

I saw my life flash before my eyes.




At the end of the incident, i smiled.

I don't know if i ever felt so alive.

For the sake of the Kingdom

I may take alot after my dad, but there's still one thing that he's very good at, that i'm not. Have got to learn this song one day.



Happy 54th Birthday dad!

Mom and Dad

People would say i take after my dad.
Same eyebrows, same humour.
When i pick up the phone and say hello people think it's my dad answering.

But after pulling out my wisdom teeth
After being in such terrible pain
I crushed a piece of chocholate
opened my mouth
and put it in.
Which caused more pain than leaving it alone.

Then i knew
I truly was
my chocoholic mother's son.

Irony

Isn't it funny how i just posted about Aragorn's hesitation and decision to take up the sword?


See Jeremiah 6:16

Dedication

The exams are coming to an end, and so are my daily blogposts. So here's one from U2, going out to all you who've read any of my short posts in the past 2 weeks.


I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colours will bleed into one
Bleed into one
Yes I'm still running

You broke the bonds
And you loosened the chains
Carried the cross
Of all my shame
all my shame
You know I believe it

But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for.
