The Order of the Phoenix
Feels like some kind of dejavu....booking in and out of camp on weekends, no doubt its just 1 night at home, it feels like I've been out for some time. Maybe something to do with the flow of time...
So many mixed emotions inside me, I do not know what to do....To be honest, I did consider being a regular in the Singapore Armed Forces during my secondary school days, that ambition has long been a thing of the pass...Than again...ambition to be an officer during National Service is another thing...or should I just declare for a downgrade and take up something more geared towards my talents like administration or Music & Drama? There are things I just hate!!!
Watched Harry Potter & The Order of the Phoenix yesterday...Felt alot like the students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. For Harry Potter fans, if you realize, Hogwarts gets a new Defense aganist the The Dark Arts professor every year...from a possessed coward, a celebrity, a werewolf and a madman with a glass eye...rumors even state that the post is cursed...
As we had it, the new professor sweet pinky Dolores Umbridge who looks like a harmless lady but makes students use a special quill to write and in the process painfully engraving the written character on the back of their hand...apart from that implementing certain educational decrees limiting Dumbledore's authority and increasing her own influence...a totalitarian regime is imposed...it really feels that way, the transition from a civilian life to a military one.
Than again, this story is alot darker, more frightening with the return of Voldemort, the Dementors, Death Eaters and the edgy parts, in short it shows a maturity of thought which makes the film cool.
Will blog again when I can...
Here we go!
Battalion on Alert!
So pack it up and go!
Oh...what a way to start the day ahead...
Hey ya
Here we go!
Late at night Raven warriors come on creeping while you're sleeping
All around, around, around
Hey ya
Firers watch your front
Ready put to safe
Target never seemed so small before
PC on my left
OC on my right
Sergeant never looked so on before
Hey ya
Here we go!
Day & Night
Raven warriors come on creeping
All around, around, around
Hey ya!
I don't wanna lead an army life
OC please let me go...
CO won't let me go...
Mummy I wanna go home...
But for the sake of our nation....we must lead, excel and overcome until we ORD (13th June 2009!)
An outlook on the surface
Seems like just yesterday
You were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
Your arms around me tight
Everything, it felt so right
Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong
Now I can't breathe
No, I can't sleepI'm barely hanging on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyesI told you everything
Opened up and let you in
You made me feel alright
For once in my life
Now all that's left of me
Is what I pretend to be
So together, but so broken up inside
'Cause I can't breathe
No, I can't sleepI'm barely hangin' on
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Swallow me then spit me out
For hating you, I blame myself
Seeing you it kills me now
No, I don't cry on the outside
Anymore...
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes

"I, hereby swear, before this flag, that I will be brave, disciplined, vigilante and I will take good care of my weapon...AT ALL TIMES!"
"Training to be soldiers
Fight for our land
Once in our live
2 years of our time
Have you ever wondered
Why must this be?
Because we love our land
And we want it to be free to be free YA!"
Present sufferings will pass, but God's mercy will last, though it may seemed that little things get in my way, my resolve has never been stronger, no weapon can keep me apart from my destination.
Forget you friends....you know I can't
