serving the nation for the 9th time

-
tomorrow will mark my 9th year serving the nation since my ORD on 29 Jan 1997... how time flies...

i look forward to this once in a year (or maybe twice or thrice) gathering with our buddies... minus the IPPT, every other thing is great...

1) you get the feeling of brotherhood (once in a year fren is like long-lost fren);
2) your mind is 'switch off'. you are no longer the 'boss' of your company;
3) you learn and polish on BIG2 skills;
4) you sweat more than usual and swear more than usual;
5) you sleep much earlier than usual but get up much earlier too;
6) you change the army uniform only when you booked out;
7) you can take naps in afternoon;
8) you can sleep anywhere and sh*t anywhere in green;
9) you get meal (upgraded to set meal) free, comes with 3 dishes, soup, fruits (and maybe ice-cream) and;
10) you see all walks of life here... the same old keng king, sabo king, xiao-on king, etc.

soon this will be over (another year) and i hope we strengthen this brotherhood forever.

No one can dictate.

The Master Key System saves my life

-
I got to know this book "The Master Key System" by Charles F. Hannel. It is an amazingly dry book. All about faith, subconsciousness, manifestation, universal mind and the power of thoughts explained in a scientific or brainwashed way. But it simply change my life.  It changes how I percieve things. I am no longer as insistent onto my own or others' opinions. It changes my life for the better though I know materially I am not richer. I felt luckier as problems started to have solutions without much worry. My mind is always in positive mode.  The book stated that our thoughts can create and manifest whatever we hoped for. Our thought is all powerful and we are our own creator.  I am recommending to all my friends. Do not start if you have no plans to change.  Be patient when reading it. If you do not understand that chapter, read it over and over again. This is not a book to be completed in speed time. It involves practical practice and large amount of time. ...

To the 60 years old me in Y2034

To that still walking, cycling, gaming and travelling 60-year old man in Y2034, I hoped:- You had stopped that full time job.  You had completed 'The Master Key System' and imparted it. You had at least tried backpacking around the regions. Buy good shoes! You had taken the longest train ride from Singapore to Portugal.  You had visited Taj Mahal and Great Wall of China. That's my childhood dream on wonders of the world. You had cycled at least once around our Singapore island.  You had worked out both physically and mentally daily like your dad. Show me your routine table!  You had became that travel companion of those in needs.  You had found sponsors to fund your interests. You had became that super copycat that helps people to grow better.  You found love.  And maintain my motto: Let no one comes to you without leaving better.  Stay healthy with abundant love and wealth.  Don't eat that much carb! br, Your present self from 2025.  St...
