I wonder why??!!

5.20pm 16th Nov @ Colonel's office

I was in the midst of a discussion with Colonel when A came in. A told Colonel that he had forwarded a couple of emails to him. Colonel wanted to ask him more and ask if he could wait for a couple of minutes and his reply, a curt "No, I am going home now."

I caught a glimpse of helplessness on colonel's face. Hard not to have that type of feeling. Why? Imagine having to take care of the whole centre suddenly and his predecessor not very forthcoming with his help. I would feel sad too. Somehow the feeling I get when I see A and the feeling I get when A addressed us during a mass meeting 2 weeks ago is the same - He simply cannot be bothered now. In our Singlish, it is also termed as "bochup."

What caused the drastic change in this man? From an enthusiastic and charismatic one to one who is selfish and bochup.....i wonder why.....
