if holden caulfield is real and is living, if he chanced upon me, he'd beat the shit out of me and kill me with his bare fists. i am a fake. i love everything and anything anglo, thinks and act like i'm anglo when i'm actually not. i worship another race because i think my own race is incompetent and impotent when i might actually be more incompetent and impotent than they are. which makes me, as holden caulfield would have put it, a phony. a first-class, gold-plated, honey-brazen phony.

i haven't got the chance to update properly these days. training's been tiring, guard duties here and there (which i think is redundant considering the fact that cda is just cda, a bunch of firefighters to-be in the academy, not your usual army base and also because i think prowling with an m-16 around your body with live rounds is cooler than with a frikkin' baton but oh well, a man's got to do what a man's got to do), course projects, tests, heat and humidity training (was a crazy mother, by the way), much needed rest and now, zomg, fasting month.

which reminds me, the need to publicly declare that ramadhan is indeed a blessed month, a period of grace and goodwill. i shan't elaborate more on why i think differently now, so that i won't spoil the mood. the change in mindset is surprising, even to myself, the realization of it all left me pretty much astonished because i'm not actually your usual mr-good-muslim.

first day of ramadhan made me miss my family, because i was not able to break the day's fast together with my family like i usually do. when the azan came up, i was all emotional. now, i don't usually do these emotional nonsense, not pertaining to my family at least but it just came over me. which pretty much left me in bewilderment. astonishment, really. i was wondering if maybe i've grown old. old enough to have missed my family or something.

jojo's becoming more manja nowadays, i think my dad has pampered her too much. not that i care actually. she's more cute when she's all manja.

oh and i've turned twenty. birthday was awesome, credits to my dearest for making it all nice. i wouldn't have wanted to spend the day with anybody else. oh, my family too. they made it all sweet. and to the people who wished me, i really appreciate it. this year's birthday flew by. no epiphany, no regrets, no nothing. maybe because it was a busy week. i think it's really just a national service thing, to make everything fly by silly.

quibbling and bickering throughout the week. i personally think that it's quite cool, us having fights here and there. if anything, i'm truly sorry. i've been known to be quite a jerk. not that it matters because the challenge to coax/pujuk is always nice. sorta like a guy thing or something. and it makes me realize how much i treasure baby dearest.

therrreee you go. the next week's gonna be pretty crazy. flashover training means that we're gonna be handling real fire (woohoo!) and ippt test. oh, speaking of which, the day after hari raya will be the soc test. prepare to see all the hari raya delicacies, all the kuih tart and rendang and sambal goreng and ketupat in vomitus form. looks like this year's syawal will be wasted again. not that i'm not used to it.
