A question just crossed my mind just now. Wondered what is more powerful? The most powerful sword on Earth or the Shaft that holds this most powerful sword. What a question to ponder about huh? Well one would relate this to so many aspect of our lives that we as the usual superficial human beings overlook. Lets take soccer for example. So many were the times that we cheered on the strikers who scored goals that won the day. However who actually wondered about the stunning display of performance that the defense gave to prevent the opposition from wining the match? Then there’s the band (haha, good one to relate in) We always hear those wonderful solos played by trumpet, flutes, and there’s the melody line, and running notes, Trombone, euphonium, Horn. Wow, this instruments sounded great many would say (those who don’t really understand band) Now, who actually says, “wow listen to the holding note of the Tubas, how it supports the band and the sound?” Many a times so many people do not see the ones who support the success which others achieve. What’s the light bulb if Newton teachers never taught him to read and write, if his parents never guided him? Whats the cleaniness of Singapore without the cleaners? What’s so powerful of a sword if it could suppose to be able cut through anything except for the shaft that holds it? So which is more powerful, the sword which can destroy? Or the shaft? Food for thought NO. 1

Hello

Whats up Blog, 10 years now since i began writing here, the post just got lesser and lesser in the last 5 years to the point where i totally skipped 2014? Well, life's been the usual, the ups, the downs and the flat-lines where one struggle within the confines of life's challenges. 2.5 years since i left the navy, 2.5 years into the business funny how people always learn through the hard way. countless challenges, arguments, family strain and of course the reality of how important money is. i will make it a point to speak to you at least once a month from now on, i do intend to keep till untill they decide to close down blogspot (if they ever decide to) I seemed like yesterday everyone was still the bumbling school children. Today some of them are married, parents to their children. Successful in life, some not so successful. some totally disappeared from the face of the earth. i think i was one of em? lol one thing for sure though, im drinking alot less now (explai...

2013

Hello my blog, my longest friend. its been so long since i last visited you. Im sorry that i did not update you about what has happened all these while. The last post was 2011, i did not realize i skipped the entire of 2012 without a single post. Dear blog, you have been with me for as long as i can remember. a memory of all my life's battles. a testament to the growth of all these years. 2012 was one of my most trying year. i finally managed to pass my bridge watch keeping competency and is now officially an appointment holder, a Navigating Officer. A goal that almost felt so impossible, so diminished 4 years ago. So many major exercises, so many assessments. i almost couldn't breathe. The first few months were more ridiculous having to sail 2 teams due to lack of manpower The learning curve wasn't exactly a curve, it was more like a steep sloop that runs straight up.  Makes me realize, the reason we are put through all these hardship is so that we can defend those we ...
