Springfield 5th ROD just over on saturday

initially hoped to rally springfield seniors to the cause

but when i wanted to open my mouth

i realised they are not the people i want to talk to

it may sound all the way seems wrong

but.

i do not feel burning passion

nor fighting spirit

nor the will to help the band do well.

I felt none of those

No encouraging words could come from my mouth

No blood rushing to my heart and soul

None.

From this 40 odd seniors present.

I felt none.

But except for the some.

The particular some

i find them at my side in anticipation for this battle.

One of our darkest hour.

It was at the dinner table i see maybe not defying passion

but undying will.

Will that needs someone to pull them through.

At this table i saw Mingzhen, Jack, Geraldine, Esther, Joseph, Wei Siang, Jasper.

Leaders of the "Old Guards" i might call

In them i can feel my blood flow into my heart and soul

To let loose inspiration and determination.

Yes its a war on many fronts

Teachers (the 3 bitches i heard)

Members, their attitude

Leaders, training them to be worthy of Lead, Serve, Protect, Nurture

Possible internal strife of seniors

But hey,

i say we will defend our fronts and win the war.

For today, i am not alone anymore

There is no road for us to take now

We will carve our own road.

We will succeed

No.....

WE MUST SUCCEED!

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 ...

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...
