Random Blabberings About The Long And Shorts of NS Part 2
To sum up my first 2weeks there..
5 most hated words/phrase
- to the left/right on your palms down
- heads out
- fall-in
- confinement
- “unlimited counts of jumping jacks, exercise begin”
5 most loved words/phrase
- ” Squad, Keluar Baris”
- Last count and still
- walk-out
- lights off
- POP
I tend to let my mind run real wild when i’m in camp. Thinking back about the different stages of life that we have walked through.
In Primary School, we always found P.E sessions too short and insufficient.
In Secondary School, we dreaded physical training, but loved the games that we can play then.
In JC, PE was one of the most hated lessons.
…
But all these were still not as bad as Physical Training (PT) in NS. Like one of the instructors said, back then in school it was Physical EDUCATION, now its TRAINING, different, period.
As true as his words meant, the discipline level is definitely much much higher. More endurance and determination would be required. No more spoon feeding and pampering.

Also, teachers once tell us to put our fingers on our lips, to make sure we keep quiet. In NS, it’s about the same, just that the action of putting the finger on the lip is replaced by push-up positions and jumping jacks.
In the past, we were not allowed to run along the corridors, if not the prefects will write our names down in the pathetic blue notebook to report to the teachers.
In NS, we’re expected to run everywhere, from this destination to the next. How we wish we could reverse the conditions and the situations around.

Random Blabberings About The Long And Shorts of NS
Having to lose your freedom and take a deep dive into the notion of serving NS just doesn't fit in anywhere but guess what, I did it.
NS is seen by many to be tough and any dread it without actually going through it.
So, after I've been through the first week and counting of NS, I don't think it's as tough as many would claim it to be.
Sure, it does take a very heavy toll on your mental stress. I mean, having to give up your normal life to serve in NS where you have to tread carefully or risked getting punished. It really isn't easy to get used to in the beginning.
However you think, time still passes and day by day, we get more inclined towards life in NS.
To cut things short due to the lack of time, I'm enjoying life in NS because I don't find serving it a chore. It's all in your mentality towards it. BYE.

Random Blabberings - Economics in Action
Title: What should I do to marry a rich guy?
I'm going to be honest of what I'm going to say here. I'm 25 this year. I'm very pretty, have style and good taste. I wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above. You might say that I'm greedy, but an annual salary of $1M is considered only as middle class in New York . My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich persons like you? Among those I've dated, the richest is $250k annual income, and it seems that this is my upper limit. If someone is going to move into high cost residential area on the west of New York City Garden , $250k annual income is not enough.
I'm here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches is only average-looking? I've met a few girls who doesn't have looks and are not interesting, but they are able marry rich guys
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)
Ms. Pretty
Here's a reply from a Wall Street Financial guy:
Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours. Please allow me to analyze your situation as a professional investor. My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I'm not wasting time here.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me explain. Put the details aside, what you're trying to do is an exchange of 'beauty' and 'money': Person A provides beauty, and Person B pays for it, fair and square. However, there's a deadly problem here, your beauty will fade, but my money will not be gone without any good reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to year, but you can't be prettier year after year. Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It's not just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If that is your only asset, your value will be much worried 10 years later
By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a position, dating with you is also a 'trading position'. If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good idea to keep it for long term - same goes with the marriage that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation value will be sold or 'leased'. Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich person with $500k annual income. This has better chance than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply helps. If you are interested in 'leasing' services, do contact me signed, J.P. Morgan
This is probably my last post until easter weekend.

Life Thoughts 2 - Love As An Act or A Feeling
Love is an action or a feeling? It’s an easy question, isn’t it? We all know that the answer is both, obviously as indicated in the English dictionary - “Love” can be a verb (action) and a noun (feeling).
Now comes another question: Love - the action - and Love - the feeling, which one comes first? To me, this question is similar to the “Chicken and Egg - which one comes first?”. Tough, huh?
Some may say that you cannot have the act of love when you don’t have the feeling of love. So, it means love - the feeling - comes first. Some argue back by giving examples of heroes who sacrificed - an action of love - to those who they didn’t have the feeling of love and didn’t need love in return. They did for other purposes but love and they still carried the action of love. Again, both are true. It depends on how you choose to look at things. But as a friend, I would strongly suggest that you see love as a verb which comes before love - the feeling.
Why? Let’s assume that one day, you wake up and suddenly you feel that your love for your wife has gone. You don’t feel anything at all about her. Suddenly, she seems to be a stranger to you. Is this situation popular in life? Oh hell yes. Check with those working as family consultants.
If you are in this husband’s shoes, what should you do? Should you do nothing and wait till some day, the feeling will come back to you? Or should you kick a big fuss and end your marriage because there is no love? Say “Yes” to either of the two questions and I know you see love as a feeling which comes after love - the action. To you, your action is limited by your feeling. You admire “love at first sight”. You let your feeling control you and from there, you let yourself be acted upon instead of acting.
Will the above 2 solutions save your marriage? I’m sure you have the answer. That’s right - “Not at all”.
Well, it’s time for me to share with you how you can save the situation by changing your perspective to see love as a verb which comes before love - the feeling. If you do see love like that, what should you do? You will love your wife without love. It means that you will love her by listening to her, empathizing her, understanding her, sacrificing for her, affirming her, etc. Will all these save your marriage? Definitely. Then the feeling of love will eventually come back, you bet. It’s always there. You only need to reinforce it by the actions of love, which seems to become so rare recently.
Finally, there is no right or wrong in the way you see love as an action or a feeling first. It’s just that which way is more useful or helpful in the situation you’re in. Our world is so multiform for absolute, isn’t it?
Post your thoughts on this. =)

Life Thoughts 1 - What Do You Want To Do With Your Life?
I should think not. Whereas some of you might not concur with what I have to say but hey, it's just my opinions, so no hard feelings there.
We all only one life to live, so to live that very life to the best we can is what we want to do. But then there comes challenges. Everyday challenges that we have to face, whether we like it or not.
While some of us give up at the very mention of challenges, some of us choose to go through them, holding on to the belief that we will come out stronger than before. There is an emotional and mental burden that we will have to carry. We get thoughts that we are simply not good enough to get through them, and finally give up. Of course, there are also people who manage to pull through. But to those who give up, they end up in a worse state than ever before.
The point here is not to encourage giving up as an option. To hold on to what is precious to you is all that really matters. As long as what you're doing is glorifying the Lord and all that He's done for us; To die on the cross for us. Then I believe that whatever persecution that we face is worth it.
We all have something that is dear to us, something that is precious to our core self. We think that we should do whatever it takes to protect it. But, we almost always fail to think of what the other party feels (if it's a person), thinking that what we're doing is right. As a result, we fail to uphold the person and may even be considered a trespasser to them.
Stop living in a world of your own. The Earth spins, and doesn't stop doing so. Time passes and waits for no man. Get yourself a reality check and snap out of your dreamy trance. Nothing's going to happen unless you make it happen. Daydreaming doesn't help. Thinking that you're leading a pathetic life doesn't help. And most of all, thinking about things that are not to be is ridiculous. Stop giving yourself more problems. If you choose to give yourself more problems, then you're just going to ruin your life and waste a whole lot of time.
If it's a small problem, keep it small.
If it's a big problem, try minimize the problem.
If it's a problem that gets out of hand, then it's your fault for letting it go out of control.
If there's no problem, don't create one.
You have only one life to live, live it right.
So, what do you want to do with your life?
Live it right?
Or indulge yourself in some fantasy world thinking that only good things will happen.
Choose to live life wisely.
