Unwinding the winding road
Sometimes I wonder if it's because of the fact that I studied Literature, I kept having this tendency to link things. It's both good and bad I guess. It's bad because it makes me think TOO much, you know, how one thing leads to another and another? Even though it is illogical. I guess my mind needs to be more rational. On the other hand, it's good because I do see things much much more than I used to, you know, like the bigger picture, the bigger scope. It's like a camera lens, where it is zoomed out. Probably 3 or 5X? Ha. But if you want me to choose, I would rather have a simple mind. It's a pain to see things more than how they should be. It's a pain to see this world through a tainted lens. :( Ah, if only I can regain my childhood mind. The hassle-trouble-free mind. And the only thing I would worry about is not having enough entertainment. How good will that be!!! But the growing mind just thinks more and more. I hate plucking my white hair, which were once non-existent. =(
So anyway, the outfield sessions are back. Not that I really welcome them back, but I don't have a choice. So I went for this 2 days 2 nights outfield exercise. Surprisingly, I just pulled through it without much difficulty. Oh yeah, and one more thing. I don't know whether I should count myself lucky. I got picked to go to a trip to Thailand from July to August for 16 days. A few of us yeah. Got attached to the OCS cadets who will be doing their live firing there. Argghh.. this will be the first time I'm going on an overseas trip without my parents. Lol. I guess it's high time for some independence man. Oh, and not to forget our India Live Firing training in October. Ok, maybe I should count myself lucky. Who gets to go overseas free? 2 countries in a span of a few months. Alright, shall be an eye-opening experience for me.
On another unrelated topic, I despise guys who fool around with other girls even though they are attached. It's worse when their girlfriends don't know about it. I'm not pin-pointing to anyone in particular but I just happened to know this friend of mine who's so unscrupulously disgraceful. And for goodness sake, those girls should open their eyes wider when they decide to date any of such guys. Well, maybe they don't even care huh? Ha. It's such a shame.
I was reading Robin Sharma's The Saint, The Surfer and the CEO. There's a part in the book which said that we should not strive on improving ourselves. Instead, we should strive on remembering ourselves, for the core of every person is pure. Is that true? I seem to be suffering from some short-term memory though. My mind isn't really working in the way I want it to be.

Plucking white hair? Dun be like me leh :p
I think thinking too much is ok. Lots of ppl tt I know tend to over-think and all. The only worry is whether u know what to brood over and what not to; what knowledge to unlearn. That is a tough skill definitely, but it will definitely empower u.
No need to wish for the past immature self just because u can think a lot. Its a merit which u may not have been able to grasp yet.
Thailand is fun, I mean the R&R la. Yr capability has proven its worth and brought u there. Good one! Ya independence overseas and all. But its mainly just army living overseas la. And i heard there's hardly any trees there. So ya its hot.
Guys with gf who date another gal really bad. Hardly deserve to be frens since they arent known for their loyalty.
Regards to yr book review, I beg to differ. I think we shld strive to do both. but its a personal choice on which aspect takes priority in one's life.
