As my tears welled up, I realised that we weren't going to watch Balls of Fury on Wednesday. And that person running towards me...
I saw the future that you would have had. Helping people out. Being at NTUC scouring for cheap snacks. And that Banquet lunch. And the "eh Boss Good Mood Today ah" Treat.
I enjoyed those talks we had about life. I was amazed at how similar we were. Imagined the car crash. How we made mistakes when we're young.
Sticking to our principles. Values. I believe we can still be much better..
Oh, and that talk we had about not being given a chance! I guess that part of you ended but I really hope I'll get one soon =)
Well sir, I'm still that same person you know. We're hardy people. Oh, and I've not given anyone a smoke break. I'm gonna be just like you.

| My backpacking email.. |
[15 Dec 2008|11:10pm] |
Hey who wanna go backpacking?
e-ler and i planned out already.
We're going vietnam to ho chi minh. go see pagodas and some saigon stuff.
Then we'll take a rickety plane to Hue to visit one of the UNESCO heritage sites. The Citadel...
Then we take bus to another cool place that i forgot and hopefully are able to pass through customs into LAOS from an illegal 'Province Interchange'.
at Si Phan Don. Then we'll travel down the mekong river in something like an 'oil drum'. It's called tubing... We get into a excavator shell and ride down the river.. You must be able to swim... the journey will take about 5 hours if we reach the south safely. Can go faster if it's raining..
From there we will cross to cambodia. then I wanna go to Preah Vihear where it has the largest concentration of landmines in cambodia. but e-ler don't want.. ok then we go down to Angkor Wat (another UNESCO site) where we'll wake up early morning on one of the days.. then can see sunrice coz got paddy field around. then go to PHnom Penh. We can try to ride motorcycle without license there. $5 per day for a kap chai bike. Funn funnn. There we visit a floating market. And some strange alley.
Then we'll head down to Thailand by bus. to bangkok. By calculation, in may next year their government should be toppling again. So we can take picture and participate in the demonstration!!! HOw COOOL IS THATT?? Go shopping... go do something... Then head to HAt Yai to meet the muslim insurgents where we'll take train to butterworth. Then cross the penang straits and sleep at Pulau Pinang. Where there is a LOT of goood food..
Then we'll go down malaysia.. Visit Balbir..or go my kampung!! and then we go visit the lighthouse island off kukup laut.
Then Back to singapore.
How bout it huh?

Seven or fifty-seven, they needed their projects. Bringing something dead back to the cave. Setting up the Wellingborough franchise. A solid lunch, twenty minutes of playtime and gold stars to show that someone was taking notice.

| NDP 2007. Sorry it's late |
[12 Aug 2007|06:41pm] |
Things I loved about the NDP parade 2007.
1. The ceremonial segment! Woohoo! KAWALAN KEHORMATAN, MASUK BARIS! Feu de Joie etc. I just lovee parades.
2. The little kids from clementi primary who came on right after the serious parade were just so adorabale. They're all going the wrong places. Jumping at the wrong time. Waving at the camera. AND AND there's the really tiny starfish that runs very adorably. Man, I think being out of course is causing me to produce too much oestrogen.
I suspect rihanna's umbrella influence has swept most GRCs and even the organising committee. Probably they should have played her song when they opened them all up in sync.

| Your Optimum Point |

Had a talk with lta mahesh on the way back just now and he was telling me about what was his optimum working point. His views were pretty interesting. I guess I never noticed how my mood actually affects my work. On hindsight, I know the reason why. I realised that I've pretty much been happy my whole life even when I seemed stressed I was happy (perhaps because I had delusional thoughts about myself haha). Of course I've been sad a few times, sure did feel like shit but it never happened when I had something important to do. So, I never had the opportunity to actually compare my achievements in what I was working in.
Lta Mahesh said that his was a neutral feeling. The neutral feeling was what made him actually work best. And I guess, after all that has happened so far in army, I am pretty much in my neutral state now too. Although I still feel that I'm slightly happy. Eh shit, I'm confused so am i happy or neutral? So, I shall state my stand and have this thought ecthed into my mind.
On a scale of 0 to 10 i'm probably at 6. ok nadjad. remember.
Ok, therefore, I'm now pretty much neutral. So, let's see how well I work now.
But maybe being at your optimum is not so important. I realise that I've been obsessed in doing what's optimum in my perspective. Doing no more unless I enjoy it. Maybe, I should be more hardworking. That's a positive way of thinking. Or, I can take the easy way out and enjoy life.
Hmmm free writing. So, seems like I have this kind of thinking that the easy way out is how you enjoy life. But that's not true is it? sigh.
[in the context of army]
I always get irritated by people who don't care about improving themselves. Because I think that with money and pwoer you actually get happier. honestly. I tell some of my sirs to actuallly go study instead of chiongsua-ing cause it means they would progress much faster in the army. If you're a diploma/a-level student you'd be stuck at major. It's the system I guess. The instructors who I respect the most have not always been up there in their educational achievements. However, you can see their dedication in their work. You respect them. Because they are simply outstanding. Which brings me to saying that scholars are not necessarily the best generals.... hmm, buttt you see generals only talk to the colonels and colonels talk to their junior commanders. And, the reason I respect my Junior Commanders are precisely because they follow orders that sometimes they don't agree to and they believe can be better done in another way. And still putting in their 100% despite sounding their disagreement. So, maybe these generals are actually effective. Because the good soldiers are there to respect authority who might not know better.
Which makes me irritated again. Cause I'd much rather have these really good commanders to actually be the one on top. Not some book smart bugger. And I wished that they actually go further their studies and not get stuck being a major. Sigh. But they are enjoying what they do. They say that it is what they want. I don't understand as of yet. Really hope I do. Because I'm obsessed with going optimum.
and that might not actually be the best(most optimum) thing. hmm

It's official. When you join the army your standard for girls drop. To a slight extent for some, drastically for others.
Sooo, if anyone of you gets attached to an army boy. He's more often than not just plain desperate.
