Chapter 4: That's How It Is

Time will always come for you
That's how it is, how it is, that's just how it is
And I will try to comfort you
That's how it is, how it is, that's just how it is

That's How It Is by Paul Freeman

 

 

 

Ain't it good to have fun in a gathering? How about a sports event? Wait. That would be pretty tiring, right? I know. How about a bbq? Splendid Idea. That's how the fun is for me. And for people around me.

 

 

 

 

A Good time to invite new friends and enjoy a delicious meal. Glad that I wasn't a one man welcomed guest. I brought my lovely girlfriend, Rachel with me. Along with my busy buddy of mine. Leonard Yeo. Busy in training in the Army. Been there, done there. So had to understand his situation. Good time to invite him before he flies off to Australia for Exercise Wallaby. A three week duration of training. Come back safe and sound, buddy.

 

 

 

Me and Leonard Yeo.

 

 

 

Leonard Yeo, along with my dear CG mates. Han Rong on the left side and the man who organized the BBQ in the first place, Joram Tan. 

 

 

Frankly, I posed this with Joram, so that Bryan Ng could have a better look at the T-Shirt he bought for me for my birthday. Haiz..... Too bad, he was under the weather that day, Poor guy. 

 

 

 

And of course, me and my sweetheart, Rachel Ratna Patrick.

 

Overall, the barbeque was alright for me. Perhaps a movie outing or a dinner gathering would be slightly better to invite more friends. Or perhaps an outing at a beach. A place where we could run around, organize a picnic and play some beach volleyball.

 

Well, that's how it is. For that day. Although I did not begin the day with my CG. But with Rachel in the morning for a jog, then some sightseeing and a stroll at the Fort Caning Park. A wonderful and historical park to walk about. Should go there more often.

 

 

 

Anyway, that's how it is for people around me. And me around them.

 

Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:  If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
