Brigadier : The Pen is Mightier than the Sword
Sometimes I wonder how life would be without the written word. As it is, much of life today has transformed into the ‘typed’ word. After secondary school, how much of the pen do we actually use, with the palm pilots and the keyboards and such? Heck, I don’t even have a proper pen on my desk now…
But I love to write. 
Over the years of my so-far-short life, a lot of people have come up to me and say, “You really like to write ah! Wah next time you can be writer loh… a lot of money one you know?!” Yes, I do… but it’s not about the money. A couple of years back, I never really liked writing either. The idea of sitting down for two hours in class writing a 1,500 word essay was enough of a turn-off for me to like it. Moreover, I never thought that writing could be fun, it was always a tiring, messy affair, with pen ink staining the underside of my palm each time. But one day I was bored and I picked up a pen. I wrote down how I felt that day onto a simple piece of paper… and I stumbled upon the pleasure of putting my memory into words. To me, the experience of being able to write down exactly how I felt at that period of time and the chance to remember it through reading over and over again was satisfying enough. It was the simple act of writing down how I felt. And it helped me remember how I felt yesterday, tomorrow. Brigadier | Home |
