ƸӜƷ Beautiful Lies.

10th March 2012-Pay Day.

As per every other month, I am delighted to be greeted by the fact

that I have inched closer to ORD, 11 months remaining. Albeit, it

genuinely felt like ORD when I left Mindef Pass Office; that place

I practically breathed for the past 2 months, purportedly for greener

pastures. It’s been a long methodical journey of much self invention

and calculated initiatives, all well worth it, for the denouement was

as perfect as it could get.

I would be reporting to work on Monday at 0800 Hrs in civilian

attire and it’s really been a while since I last looked forward to

Monday. Passed on all duties, and parted ways with the place,

unless necessary, I would not think of revisiting. Fact is that my

superiors exuded great understanding and empathy in

accommodating me, an overture I sincerely appreciate. But

unfortunately, I have long decided to leave. I need to, I have to,

and I am glad I left.

It is ironic really. The exuberance I felt when I got posted to MPTS

has long dwindled and in its place, up till the time I received news

of my posting out, a growing surge of misplaced frustration.

Irregardless, this long standing fiasco and self imposed exile has

finally reached its conclusion, and I can’t wait to move on.

Monday shall mark the beginning of a new chapter, a chapter that

will end with ORD. For now, things are well, and may it remain so.

Bereft of colours and warmth, it sometimes is an indication to leave.

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.
