light it up

the great thing about the army, is how much material it feeds me for my writing.

how there is such prosperity of character and poetry over flowing, simply waiting to be harnessed.

for example, did you know the word "deepavali" was also metaphorically used to mean anything which is brightly lighted up.

"When driving overseas must be careful la. The roads there not as deepavali as singapore"

OR

"What the fuck! You never 'tactical' your torchlight?! you think this is deepavali is it?"

Happy Deepavali Singapore.

And may our street lights always overpower the stars of our city sky, in all its resplendent glory.
