Bored

I'm currently unemployed, almost two months since I finished my last semester. To be honest, it ain't really because I have not been finding a job. I have been, it's just that the process takes time. I should have a job in a month or two, but until an actual confirmation is obtained, I rather not share too much because I fear disappointment.

I've been spending these few weeks at home, bored, because BM is a small town, so small that even with a car I have no idea where I should go.

Also because I'm unemployed and therefore have no income, I rather not go out often to spend money which has not begun trickling in.

Also because I'm living with my parents now. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents. But living with them is depressing, difficult, making me suffer on an enormous magnitude, and I can't wait to live this house. Some parents are better loved afar.

Please let me have my first job soon.

Thai Football Team Rescued


Yes! The football team that was trapped in the flooded cave had all been rescued!

I wasn't aware of what initially transpired and had not been following the news when the news first broke. But when I read the boys had been missing for 9 days and the divers had not managed to find them in the cave, I regretfully admitted I wasn't expecting the divers to find them alive.

So when it was announced that everyone had been found alive after 10 days in the cave, I was surprised, and genuinely moved and touched by how strong the team members were.

I began following the news, and was troubled to know there were so many complications and challenges.

But as it turned out, everything went smoothly. All the team members were successfully rescued!

To be frank, I don't blame the coach. The coach shouldn't be blamed for a natural disaster. It probably wasn't a wise idea to bring the kids into the cave, but it cannot be denied he's the reason the kids are alive and I think the people and the jury of the court of the public opinion should be mindful of that.

Secondly, I sincerely think the volunteers and helpers and all the unsung heroes such as those who washed the laundries for free and the farmers who sacrificed their one year's harvest should not go uncredited. Elon Musk however is another story entirely.

Thirdly, I felt bad for the navy SEAL diver that perished on duty. He was the only casualty. At least we know his efforts had not been in vain. I'm so sorry for his death and I hoped he can move on to another world in peace, knowing all the kids had come out alive.

Lastly, as has always proved, disasters always bring out the best and unity of the people. Why this kind of unity surfaces only when something unpleasant happens?

Anyway, I hope all the kids do fine, and also the coach. You all survive a horrific experience. In the future you have a wonderful story to tell to your grandkids, but do remember too everyone who was there for you when you needed them. Stay strong!

Bebe Rexha - Meant to Be (feat. Florida Georgia Line)


Another great song that I enjoy listening to recently.

It's a very uplifting song that is cheerful. I love it.
