Over lunch just now I had familiar company that I haven’t appreciated in a long time – the company of my brother. Ever since he got enlisted, we hardly saw each other, but that’s actually a blessing in disguise because now that I only see him once or twice a week during weekends or Friday evenings, there really is a difference just because of his presence. It’s a heartwarming feeling I will never forget. Army does change the boys – two months into enlistment and we could all see that he has become more mature, thoughtful and appreciative of what he has. He had never smsed Mum to tell her to take good care of herself, saying he missed home-cooked food and his nice warm bed. He had never volunteered to wash the dishes or vacuum the floor. And most significantly, it could be felt that he truly longs to come back every time he opens the door to a comfortable home, looking exhausted, sun-beaten and all. And I will give him a hug to welcome him. I really missed him during the week, and knowing that he’s going through so much in army does pain me, but of course, I know that at the end of it all, he would have grown and learnt so much faster. I am a proud sister of a great guy

Basking in Adam Lambert’s amazing vocals brings forth powerful emotions of sorts, not going to elaborate much here but I would like to provide a strong source of support for my friends going through a difficult time – not only because I’m a close friend, but also because I’m going through a similar situation.

“why do we deserve this?”

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying
Are the best I’ve ever had
And I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It’s a very, very… mad world… mad world…

What else could I do, but to move on?

Anyway, doesn’t he look a little like Adam Lambert??? Picture taken with nette and a Cuban dancer who performed in Fried Rice Paradise (musical).

Whataya Want From Me?

I love you, Adam Lambert.
