I’ve Learned….

Someone shared this quote with me,

I’ve Learned . . .

I’ve learned….. That just one person saying to me, ‘You’ve made my
day!’ makes my day.

I’ve learned…. That being kind is more important than being right.

be, everyone needs a friend to act goofy with.

and a heart to understand.

I’ve learned…. That it’s those small daily happenings that make life
so spectacular.

I’ve learned… That under everyone’s hard shell is someone who wants
to be appreciated and loved.

I ‘ve learned…. That when you plan to get even with someone, you are
only letting that person continue to hurt you..

I’ve learned…. That love, not time, heals all wounds.

I’ve learned…. That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to
surround myself with people smarter than I am.

things I get done.

I’ve learned…. That life is tough, but I’m tougher.

I’ve learned…. That opportunities are never lost; someone will take
the ones you miss.

I’ve learned…. That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

I’ve learned…. That I wish I could have told the people that I love
her one more time before they passed away.

I’ve learned…. That I should keep my words both soft and tender,
because tomorrow I may have to eat them.

I’ve learned…. That a smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks.

Thanks Dear, I’ve learned to be committed again and i’ve learned to appreciate life with you around.

Love ya, always…

Its been awhile that i last posted an entry….

How are you people out there?

My LP 81 journey is coming to an end and it has indeed been an emotional ride…

3 more weeks left and what have i created soo far? Have i achieved all my goals? Ans: 70%

Verdy has finally decided to pursuit his dream as a designer and leave the SAF.. am happy for him as he is able to make a stand for himself.. I must also acknowledge his perseverance for his hunt of his beloved “Cherry Tomato”… Time will tell whether it all pays off… haha.. Ganbatte!

One last paper on friday and the end of another semester… Going all out for my LP81 for the upcoming two weeks! I want everyone to win at the end of the day, it will be my greatest regret if i have not given a 100% to my LP81 at the end of the 3rd weekend… Chiong ah! =)

My new posting as an Officer in Command (OC) is really an amazing experience for me soo far.. Its considered a stretch for me as i have to really build up a company from scratch. Its tough but i know it will be really fulfilling at the end of the day. I want to make a difference in my men, i want them to really live up their best during their NSF days. It is to be, it is up to me! I want them to have strong sense of belonging to the Army.

After 1 year, i finally found someone who i willing to get committed to…. She is really lovable and i am really happy when i am with her… She will recieve my honesty, authenticity and love… If you are reading this, i want to thank you for what you have been soo far to me…. Hugs & Muacks.

I leave you guys with a quote, which i personally found it really meaningful:

“Some of the greater things in life are unseen thats why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream…”

Need to get back to my books! Argh! Accounting! haha.

Have a great week ahead people! Love ya all!

The Purpose….

Hello people…. its been sooo bloody long that i last blogged… Am in LP now.. haha ok excuses…

I would like to share about my experience during my last 3 days in the field with my new company. I was in control.
 
I found new meanings why i am doing and committed to this job with the arm forces, its to really make a difference in people’s life. Overall, to keep our country safe.
 
My encounter with my men was really impactful throughout the whole outfield.
 
One of my platoons (total of 5 x 3 men detachment) was on a training to setup their respective weapons within a given time frame of 8 mins. I was supposed to be an observer due to the fact that i’m new to the company. The 1st try saw one of the detachment (Det A) unable to meet the timing and resulted the entire platoon to fail the setup. After another 2 – 3 tries, it was again the same Det A that failed to meet the timing. Obviously i saw things were not working out and i stood up and stop the entire training. I gathered the entire platoon and i literally shouted at Det A. My feedback to them, No communication, No support, No sense of urgency and No Commitment! The whole platoon was shocked into silence with my loud ‘roar’. I told Det A that they were wasting our time and they were unwilling to make a shift to change even though they realised that they will never meet the timing. I made them realised the implication they will eventually cause to the entire platoon or even the mission. After given the “turbulance” to Det A, i went on questioning the synergy of the entire platoon. I challenged them on their commitment to one another as a platoon and how they failed to support eachother eventhough they knew Det A was not doing well. I sensed there was a lack of having a common goal and a common vision. No one seems to care of bother about what others were doing, they were just going through by motion and they were all Selfish! At that very moment, i got them really thinking and on a lighter mood they must be thinking that ‘this officer’ infront of them is about to give them hell in time to come. (haha). After awhile, i asked the other detachments who met the timing to share with Det A what went well for them and on top of that i got the rest of the platoon to work on their goals in accomplishing the training on time as a platoon. I shared with them their purpose in doing national service and how they can really benefit from it. Knowing the importance of keeping our country safe and sound, i have created a common vision for them. 15 mins later, we went on with the training and Det A met the timing, the whole platoon met the timing. Det A won and same goes for the whole platoon! The best part was that the whole platoon celebrated for achieving the timings and for once i saw a powerful strength of unity in them. I knew i have made a difference in their life and i am committed to do bigger than that.
 
My new guys are coming in during end May and i am committed to create a honest, trusting and determine force with a common goal of having everyone of them to Win during their NS life and eventually to Win while in the outside world!
LP 81 is the key to my being now, its the fact that we live on a common vision: “A Lively world of Love, Courage and Possibilities” that makes us who we are now.
 
LP81 is a life time journey, we will always be ONE, always..
 
Continue to support eachother, work on our DOEs, have everyone to win by the end of 3rd weekend!
 
Its just like meeting the timings for the training, cos at the end of 3rd weekend, WE ARE CELEBRATING! YES! TO CELEBRATE OUR VICTORY!

A Dog’s Life….

Its been like almost an entire month that i last blogged….

Its time to update….

I had just completed my AW Advance Course 2 weeks ago…. It was an amazing journey…

I am living up to my Contract: “I’m a Honest, Loving and Confident Man”

The people i met in the advance course were really authentic and i am committed to make a difference in their life…

They surprised me and celebrated my 27th Birthday on the 24th of Feb…. I was really touched….

Its been like sooo long i actually had a cake on my birthday… Thank you guys! Love you all!

My Beloved Friends!

After completing my Advance, I went back to my hectic work and studies….

3 x Assignments to be completed within 7 days… (Crazy and i regret i did not plan my time well)

Whole week have to deal with the Army IKC2 open house thingy.. Alot work and very little time… Was really Drained and Stressed….

My Boss commented about my working attitude lately and i got to find out i’m not performing up to my standard. Made me more down….

Have to cope with some relationship problem with a few female friends…. (I will save the details, but am kinda disturbed and sad)

I supposed to feel alive after my advance, but i was down and drowning…

LP81 been in my mind… But i wasn’t sure whether i should do it.. cos of all the above mentioned factors…

Work, Studies, Family, Love and Me…. (How???)

Just 4 days ago after i handed up all my assignments  i finally managed to grab some good rest….

Its only this week i finally can get my mind straight and clear….

Am i doing LP???

After the conversation with Verdy, Caroline, Sam and Daniel…. I finally decided to say YES to LP81…

LP 81… A question for me… “What results i want to Achieve?” (Time will tell)

Got to catch a movie with Verdy,

Marley and Me… It was really a great movie about man’s best friend… Yes “DOG”

Towards the end of the movie,  there was this saying about Dogs and it really touched me…

“Dogs don’t choose you because of the materials (cars, house, money, luxury life) you have or own, all they need is LOVE from you and they will give you back the LOVE you need”

Its true, and i believe human kinds have to constantly remind themselves that in life, its not all about the appearance and the materials. Its about the simplest thing a person can give or offer… Its call “LOVE”..

Well, have a great weekend ahead people!

Going for my 1st Weekend for LP81 later! 

Love you all!

Drained….

I am tired…

Drained from my work, studies and love…

‘Am sorry for being cold… you are a nice person’

‘Am sad when i am the only one trying to make things happen…. distance is not a problem…’

‘Am happy that i am important to you…. able to see you smile is wonderful’

Valentine Day is tomorrow….

Am alone this year…

Or am i? Yes i am..

I am tired…

Happy Advance Valentine Day people…

The Path to Love….

Have you realised that Life is a Path?

Do you know Life requires Love?

And do you know in Life there is a path to Love?

Love can heal.
Love can renew.
Love can make us safe.
Love can inspire us with its power.

Everything love is meant to do is possible. Knowing this, however, has only made the gap between love and non-love more painful.

When you find your path, you will also find your love story. People today are consumed by doubts about their relationships: Have I found the right partner? Am I being true to myself? Have I given the best part of myself away?

The path to love, however, is never about externals. However good or bad you feel about your relationship, the person you are with at this moment is the “right” person, because he or she is a mirror of who you are inside.

Therefore the path to love isn’t a choice, for all of us must find out who we are. This is our spiritual destiny. The path can be postponed; you can lose faith in it or even despair that love exists at all. None of that is permanent; only the path is. Doubt reflects the ego, which is bound in time and space. The ultimate promise on the path to love is that you will walk in the light of a truth extending beyond any truth your mind presently knows.

*******************************************************************************************************

The whole of last week was rather crazy….

Sometimes, you will find love in the least expected way…..(Am not saying i have found a new love)

I chose my path to love for now….

Caught a movie with Verdy and Lynn last night, “Look For a Star” by Andy Lau and Shu Qi.

The show was nice and heartwarming. Again the show is about falling with someone in the least expected way…

There was this quote in the movie that made an impact in me…

“人生在世，难得糊涂”

And i believed that “爱是要争取的!”

Think about it… =)

Met up with Olivia.

Have a great Sunday.. Am on Duty in Camp!

L.O.V.E

Met up with B on monday evening, we had a really good chat..

I confessed to her how i really feel for her… And i told her that i clearly understand that we are different….

I told her i really treasure our friendship and having her as a true friend is more than anything i could ask for…..

I do not wish to create a barrier btw us because of my insensitive approach….

She appreciated my honesty by telling her about my feelings…..

She started to share with me her current personal life and i felt really good….

The conversation was authentic and sincere…

I told her i’ll be her support in finding her happiness and we really created an authentic and loving friendship…

Loving someone does not mean i have to be with her….

Love is unconditioned…

And i finally experienced it….

Loving Her is By Respecting Her….

I’m hurt…

My intention has unknowingly failed me…

Though there isn’t any reciprocation, i should not be sad…. Cos Love supposed to be unconditioned

If you are telling me that i should stop wasting my time…. Again, since when Love can be measured by time?

Someone shared with me that I should not be selfish…

And if i really Love her, Respect her in every ways…. 

There is a qoute: “Every human being, of whatever origin, of whatever station, deserves respect. We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves.”

With respect, Love will be presence and Happiness will be created…

If i really Love her, respect her decision….

Sunday evening.. What do i want to create? An Authentic Loving Friendship with her…
