(perth crib) at least 2 more times, and incurr like about a hundred bucks in transport...... to special thanks goes out to those people, whoever they may be, who made it possible..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next person on the list to thank is Jun, thank you so much for giving me a ride to the airport..... if not i would have become a very broke person, even though you were up real early that morning and was dying to sleep by the time u sent me to the airport...... thank you very much, i owe u one........ will get back to you when the rest of the homies are meeting up for some clubbing.... think of which, i think u are on a flight back home now.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok spent like a night trying to get used to the heat..... feels like someone left the heater on and forgot to switch it off.......... feeling very "niam" and i keep having to take baths to keep that feeling away.... hope it improves as the days go by...... know i think Lee Kuan Yew said he din like the local weather when he just got back from England.... muz have hated it..... since England is much more colder from where i just came back from........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was too tired to meet up with Joel and the rest of whoever was there at Walas..... needed the sleep... staying awake is no joke when u have to catch planes on standby......... hate that feeling........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Spent the rest of the sticky evening with my baby....... catching up and catching up on snooze... think i fell asleep somewhere along the way....... = ) much to her disappointment......

NATURAL FACE.......... beat THAT!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;though there was a bit of a screw up in the morning to get to the place......... the day was saved by the excellent views and adrenaline pumping ascends up the rock face...........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;started off slow at a 'nursery' rock, think aussies have a twarted sense of beginners....... this one was 3 storeys up, so up we went....... climb climb....... at first we had to get used to finding holds in the natural rock....... slowly but surely, we managed to get the hang of it............ rule of thumb, anything that can put ur finger in, can be used....... so half the time u'll see us "caressing" the rock face trying to find something to grip on..............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1903.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok this one of me trying to go up the nursery rock..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then all of us graduated from the nursery rock to the main face......... it was crowded day...... there were lots of ppl at the rock face today......... check this out there was even this guy lead climbing.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1906.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the ppl there were is small groups...... min 2 max was like a 6 man grp there.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our instructor educated us a lil on how rock faces are graded, ranging from 0 (flat ground) to 32 (god help you) and in order to complete a certain grade, u have to climb up using a route predescribed by the grader, aka the first person to climb up that place wif that route........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we let him set our ropes....... funny some of the stuff he was doing, i found very familiar........ the army..... hu said u din learn stuff from it........ then it got me thinkin....... if we could rent equipment, we could always come to places like these to abseil, i have no probs tying anchors for these, or rock climb...... moz of the other groups there were on their own, the guy lead climbing was wif his girlfriend i think...... how cool is that man..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;then cam our turn to climb.......... this time it was going to be 5 storeys up....... the first climb was easy........ much simpler than the "nursery", juz a lil longer...... but the second one was a killer........ there was this cave that was along the route and u had to climb up and over the roof of the cave......... i think all of us found out about muscles we did not have before.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;here are some pics from the trip......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1899.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is joel even climbing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1900.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sillouete shot of dunno hu sia.... muz be one of us.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1908.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;goofy me...... on the long HARD climb back up!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;apart from the aches, gashes and pains that we had to endure...... the trip was a blast man.............. will go climbing again....... till nxt time.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Got back to college nearing 6........... had a quick dinner....... food is getting boring......... bleah = P......... miss my gd ole Spore food......... then TJ and the rest suggested to have fish and chips and chilli mussels at Fremantle...... din mind going........ so tagged along and shared some food wif Joel.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1917.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Caught a pic of the moon from the beach&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1922.JPG" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Joel is back home now already..... sleeping in his nice comfy bed and getting amachi to make him hot drinks.............

Because in Balata [refugee camp, near Nablus] they also have authorization to shoot. You shoot them in the legs. The scouts. A person standing on a roof with a cellphone during activity or something like that and the snipers see him looking down at least twice, something like that, looks a bit suspicious, you ask the regiment commander for permission to shoot such a person in the legs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporter: You ask for permission? Are there cases in which you don’t ask for permission?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IDF soldier : No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporter: It’s enough to see him talking on the cellphone?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IDF soldier : It’s enough to see him talking on the cellphone and looking down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporter : You shoot only at his legs. What if you can’t see his legs?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IDF soldier : I can’t believe it is... but sometimes you do miss. You miss the legs and hit him above the legs: in the belly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These things happen. What can you do?And, just in case you thought there was no accountability in the IDF,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IDF soldier : It's when you have a specific alert that there's going to be a transfer of weapons inside the city, inside Balata…if someone wants out, so they focus attention at us, we just drive a lot, make a commotion inside the city, throw a lot of stun grenades, lots of gas, just to give the impression that there's a large force, and make them scared of getting out. The idea is to make them come out to us and cause riots. When there are riots, you get permission to shoot at the legs of kids who throw bricks, and if I happen to shoot, and I’m just a shooter [not a sniper], and I aim at the knee...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporter : Can any soldier shoot?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IDF soldier : Yes, from his personal weapon. If the commander during the procedure is a deputy company commander, he can authorize this. And if by mistake I hit him in the back or kill him, and we had this…2-3 times just in the last service term in Nablus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporter : Soldiers killed kids. I: Killed kids by mistake. Q: Aimed at the legs, shot them in the back and killed them. How do you know afterwards if soldiers killed them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IDF soldier : …Reports arrive from the DCO [Translator's note: District Coordination Office], the Palestinians report, there is cooperation in that sense. So kids get killed. It's nothing to a soldier. And an officer can get [fined] for this hundred, two-hundred shekels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporter : 100, 200 shekels for a kid? I: Yes. Q: Prison?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IDF soldier : No, No.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporter : A trial ? Any serious inquiry about this thing?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IDF soldier : …No. I’m sure it doesn't go above the regiment commander. I don't know about people undergoing an inquiry. I can't say for sure…but I didn't see people undergoing an inquiry and I know nothing was done with it later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I tot this was a lil reality check....... if many Singaporean men thought NS was juz some 2 yr stint that was all a bunch of bullshit, then, i urge them to think again, in today's context and political environment, anything can happen, the bombing of the Aussie embassy in Indonesia could have been in Spore........... Are we ready to face such stark realities in life...... question urself.......... training is training......... but can u really pull the trigger to kill?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its sad that in some places in the world, life has degenerated to its basic drive, to SURVIVE.................. i am thankful for where i am and i hope ppl feel that way too.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's all i have for today, back to my readings...... = )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I AM THANKFUL FOR THE LIFE I LIVE!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rgds&lt;br /&gt;Scott&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6419175-109526532693315087?l=lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/109526532693315087'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/109526532693315087'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html#109526532693315087' title=''/><author><name>Scott</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11183508777606625465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1365.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419175.post-109508110107575797</id><published>2004-09-13T06:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-09-13T06:11:41.076-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;The WEEK Begins again.......&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok hahahaha, the week does begin again, this time, it is drawing near to the end of the first half of the semester and into the spring break........ ok Junyi as a different conception of this term....... god knows why.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was mucking around school for like 10 mins cuz we had to wait for someone, so i whipped out my camera and took a pic of Winthrop Hall....... its one of the oldest buildings on campus..... its nice, so i took this shot........ since most ppl dun know how my camous look like, so here goes.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1862.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;yeah decided that a sephia filter would look nice so wala!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hah handed in my dreaded MYOB assignment today, least it spells the end of the agony and anguish, read my previous blog if u wanna know more.......... was so tempted to take a pic of the assignment box...... but din........ din wanna have to remind myself of it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok i got to go back to do some work liao, so u ppl out there take care and see ya ppl soon......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: Justine, dun worry i have not forgotten abt u..... = ) sorry was quite busy the past few weeks............ sorry............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I LOVE MY LIFE!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rgds&lt;br /&gt;Scott&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6419175-109508110107575797?l=lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/109508110107575797'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/109508110107575797'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html#109508110107575797' title=''/><author><name>Scott</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11183508777606625465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1365.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419175.post-109500779452438689</id><published>2004-09-12T09:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-09-12T09:49:54.526-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;The MYOB Crisis.........&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok i am so pissed with my assignment now that i really want to rip it up even though i have so called completed it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y?

OUCH!!!!!! see beh pain sia..............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later in the evening we were supposed to go to a "party" somewhere in college called the lodge........ disappointing.......... i still stand firm that ang mohs dunno how to party.............. (shakes head)................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wah there i sustained my second injury in the day........ TJ decided that i was a nice sofa and sat on me...... me not wanting to be a push over reached around and gave his man nipples the hardest squeeze that i could muster......... he in the process grabbed my right pointer finger and twisted out....... Crack Crack CRACK!!!!!! .............. god damn it..... siao liao lah............... OUCH!!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ian Thorpe swimming.... bugger is a giant man!!!!!! Miss my TV back home in Spore..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ended off the day goin to Kings Park in the freezing cold..... god wat were we thinking.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is y i say i need a car...... ahahahahahhaha&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheesh had to miss my inter college game of hockey in the morning due to injuries.....

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok here goes, i was goin for Pol Sci lect and here i was taking out my stuff, so this smelly ang moh from behinh asks if he could borrow a pen....... being the kind gregarious chinese boy i am, i said ok.......... so i pulled out a nice, new stabilo black ball point pen and lent it to the guy...... i repeat, i lent it to him............... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So on with the lecture, we carried on listening to a very radical Lecturer give her lect....... she is one cool Paki... that is another story...... then wah lah after the lect, the smelly ang moh disappeared with my pen...... bloody ang moh!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wah two things this nice Singaporean boy learnt from this incident........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1) Never lend pen to smelly ang mohs.....&lt;br /&gt;2) Never take pencil case out in lect, just take out 1 pen!&lt;br /&gt;3) Ang mohs are smelly.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheats!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok have to get back to Trinity now, lunch is soon, before all those smelly ang mohs take all the

that he might not be able to make it through flight training...... somehow, though i never really loved him very very much, it saddens me............. somehow, though i have hated him at times, i think blood is still thicker than water.......... i feel sad for him, it had always been his dream to be a pilot............... = (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;But it is not over yet, he still has one more go at it, i wish him all the best man............ told him to try his best on Mon... hopefully he pulls through........... he seems alright to me....... i din really expect him to call me......... goodness he never even did when i was in Spore...... think he really needed to see a familiar face............ if my brother ever reads this, yo bro, i am here for u if u ever need me man..............&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;Another thing that touched me was that, he gave me alot of stuff he had here, he even passed me cash, said he did not have much use of it, since he was gonna be leaving......... that was out of the extraordinary man...... it touched my heart......... never was my brother such a brother to me........ had to fend for myself most of the time when i was a kid.......... think i really saw a different side of him today, a very mature and thoughtful side........... wanted to spend more time with him, but he needed to get back to base..............&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I wish him all the best in what he does, and i think i gotta have to make an effort to talk to him more........... funny though, someone was just talking to me about sibling relationship and never did i expect it to touch me so close to my heart.......... &lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I am sad today, i dunno why, but i am........ think i need to figure this out......&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;I

A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path.....&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are you afraid of passion?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think after reading his book, it has made me think a little, little would be an understatement....... ok Joel thinks that the book is some erotic novel, sorry mate, if you took the time to read it, you may find that it has a greater meaning to its context..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come to think of it, i may pick up another of his books man.... quite the good read.................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok think i am gonna be going to the gym tommorow, quite disgusted with myself man, haven been lifting the weights in a long time man........ need to work out man...... so Orchid gym i will be making a mental note to visit you tomorrow morning.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that i think i will head to town, need to get supplies for Uni and then a trip to the dive outfitter........... gotta get a list out for the stationary man....... think i will get it out after &lt;em&gt;Nip/Tuck&lt;/em&gt;........ gonna glue my eyes to my telly for mow.... so tata peeps, look out in this space for updates.....

Thanks i have to give to my PS, Xian, and Sect leaders, Thu, Yang and Louie....... Not forgetting also are the men of BLOCKER Platoon that made the assualt possible........... I am proud of you guys......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of Friday, 28 May 2004, i have officially handed over duties and my platoon to my understudy, 2LT Wee Eu Meng. I wish him all the best.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1448.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thats him in the front, with the green beret.

Behind them, my pride, my MEN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1471.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My garang PS, 2SG Xian!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1449.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The biggest boss in the Bn, 2nd from right, LTC Perry Lim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feeling a little lost now, OC gave me packing orders, to move out of my office and not to hang ard my PL so much....... Guess he has his reasons, the new PCs need to bond with their men, and us the 'Old Guard' have to give way..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess we will be out of a job soon man. Gerald, Junhao and Soon Yong are going to hand over tomorrow. We just had dinner together, celebrated Junhao's bday in advance......we were talking about it, think it is something we all hate to give up, cuz of the effort we put into building up our men and commanders, its like leaving your kids behind...... sad..............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But that is also good for me, i think i have to move on, the Army has taught me alot of things, inside its confines and also outside it. Abt the world we live in and also the people that you meet and know......... its been a great 2 and a half years for me.... i really think its like the defining moment in my life now...... that is until something greater appears..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For now, i am looking forward to my next phase, Uni life......... its gonna be great...... Oh yes, Liz thanks for dropping that msg, i will keep it in mind, you take care of yourself ok..... Preping alot for my move down under, but it never seems to end, accom has been confirmed, thank god.... one less worry..... now it is textbooks, administrative matters and packing........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really want to go for a dive soon, my PADI Advanced........ still waiting for Dasmond to get back to me, if not, i think i am flying solo on this one......... diving rocks and i think diving down under is evern more shiok......... gotta chase my dream......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just went to club on Saturday..... its been like about 2 months since i last went..... Saturday night was Madame Wong, actually could not make it in, cuz its only above 23 for the guys, but i look older that my age and i had a nice ID to back me up..... so i breezed through the front door.... first time in there and i must say, it lives up to its name..... the music was like Zouk on a Sat and i loved it...... Mo, Tang, Jerry and my brudder Gerald was there man......... we partied like there was no tommorow...... think the clubbing bug is coming back, Wed night seems to be occupied now.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking about my brudders, i am still wondering how it will be man, 4 years down the road where will all of us be? But these mates have been through the toughest of times with me and i will definitely be there for them if they ever need me..... to my brudders, u all take care man and good luck to you all in realising your dreams......

I sometimes think that it is best when an individual understands himself/herself........... because lets take a reality check, everyone has this deep dark secret that can never see light, i am being frank and honest here, everyone has one, God even the Pope has one....... thus no one else will know it, only "the ONE"........ dun get me wrong, i think it is possible to understand another person, i look at couples, husbands and wives, friends and families around me, it is possible........ but fully???? i doubt...........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem i guess lies in the complexities of this world. Life as it fundamentally means, is about survival, food, water and air. However, evolution has is drawbacks i guess, when we start to evolve, we think and decide in the process. This is when the human world becomes very complex............ With complexity, i think comes its good and bad............. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good........... look around you, think about all the good things in life and you can find your answer...... i thank whoever that is responsible for the stuff like true LOVE, friendship, family and all........ it is these things in life that really make life truely meaningful and a pleasure............ to those lucky and fortunate lot who enjoy such pleasures in life, take a minute and be thankful...... not everyone is so lucky....... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bad............. again, i need not say the bad....... the basis of human goodness is the founded on the fact that there is comparison. The extreme opposite is what you will find in BAD. Deceit, lies, sin and hate are just to name a few.......... its the kind of stuff you look at and shake your head.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to understanding......... i believe that in a person, there has to be a balance, of the good and bad.......... liken it to the force in "Star Wars". Fundamentally, i can only say that its owner is the only person that can understand his true nature.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok peeps, some ramblings that i have in my mind are above...... just read through it again, looks a little incoherent, but what the hell i am not gonna write it again....... feels a little like i am writing a GP essay again.............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh yeah, another thing i have come to learn is that there is really such a thing a TRUE INNOCENT LOVE in this world. In a way i am comforted by the fact of its existence, love that is unconditional and ultimate....... in my opinion......... god that is such an ideal......... it must be cherished......... good luck........ to whoever comes across it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet again, this practical world makes choice so difficult. The practicalities of this world bring in alot of other stuff into consideration, wealth, ambition, status, all this corrupt the chain of thought, i wish i never have to go through it, if i do, God help me.......... ( PS : i am still a free thinker ) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On to another point, trust is also something you have to believe in. I like to think of it as something that is given, but once lost is very hard to regain......... whether the person is a victim of circumstance or the master of his own actions, the end result is always the same, once lost, it is painstaking to rebuild...............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nonetheless, there is hope in this world, people out there, cherish what you have and live your lives like you dream of them to be..... the world is your playground, have great fun and never let the little falls and cuts stop you from having what you want to do..................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HAVING FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I STILL LOVE MY LIFE VERY MUCH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rgds&lt;br /&gt;Scott&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6419175-108530390384407258?l=lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/108530390384407258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/108530390384407258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html#108530390384407258' title=''/><author><name>Scott</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11183508777606625465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1365.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419175.post-108523445065322070</id><published>2004-05-22T06:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-05-22T07:00:50.653-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;This tiring past week man.......&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, first things first, Liz pls read the disclaimer on the right, bleah = ) so dun complain, i warned u....... joking lah..... ok lets see if i can make it less like a primary school kids diary........ hahahahahahahaha..............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Orh man, the past week can only be described with one word man...........

If not i wun be late one......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arrived at the SRC at about 5 mins past 9 but there was already a drizzle forming in the sky and was hoping that it will not affect the lesson........ It was into action once we got there, set up our SCUBA rig and jumped into our wetsuits............ (looks like i have a pic of Gerald in his wetsuit/clownsuit = P)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1176.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wah lau, imagine being in it for half a day...

Maybe its because i spent the weekend with her that's why..... hahahahahha...... think she gonna give me a *bish* on the face when she reads this...... = P............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok here goes...... &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sunday&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok lets see, what did i do this fateful Sunday?..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok i remember.......... Me and Zi went to watch this wacky mad cap nice romantic Korean comedy......"Please Teach Me English".....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://202.172.226.84/Booking/movies/images/nowshowing_Bteachmeenglish.gif"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wah lau eh..... this movie, really can make ppl "chour ga peng", literally, laugh until u collapse............ It's abt this really plain Jane that is forced to take up english cuz she needs to know it for her work. But in her class, she falls for this player........ and so it's boy meets gal, gal loves boy, but boy is put off by gal, then boy starts to appreciate gal...... and so on........ but the story does send home another more important message of not falling into the trap of losing our identity, of who we are, especially when society becomes more westernised and "BUUUUUU-TI-FOO".......... = )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If u ask me, i say watch it if u are not for the action movies that are screening now....... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more thing i learnt.......... Zi loves to eat nachos..... esp with the cheese dip....... she was devouring the entire contents of the container that it came with.......... ok yesh maybe i am exagerrating a little, but found out another thing about her today.... yeah.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh another thing i realised, girls seem to really like to read Men's Mags man, FHM, Mens Health, GQ, etc, the list goes on man, wah dun tell me the girlie mags are gettin so trashy man...... wats the world comming to?????????? Right Zi? = P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the movie, which ended at such an odd hour, i must say i made a bad choice of choosing the time for the movie, not here, not there, wah lau eh, finish the movie, too early for dinner, too late for tea...... so we settled for dinner!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Went over to the S-11 across from J8 to eat, guess wat?......................................................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BAN MIAN!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If there are a list of foods that me and Zi love in common, Ban Mian must be one of them man.......... the nice thick fat noodle, mushy egg, ikan bilis (which Zi will definitely 'ask for more', wah so Pepsi) and not forgetting the CHILLI!! (Zi's favourite) She practically adds in a saucer full of it into the soup..... talk abt fiesty..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sent her home and that was another day passed.......... = )&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Monday&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wah first thing in the morning got controls at Pawai.... if ppl out there dunno, i am a GFAC, go figure.... one of those Army ligo's that u either know or dunno.......... Sianz had to wake up first thing in the morning..... ok not so early lah, abt 9ish plus........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had to settle lunch, so gave Zi a hollar in NUS, GFACs were meeting at West Coast Pier, so NUS nearest place to jump off bus......... poor me, even have to settle own transport......... back to lunch.......... had lunch in Biz Canteen......... you wun believe it......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 plate chicken + Beansprouts + Tau Kua + Lu Egg = $2.60 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;$2.60 ONLY!!!! Wah lau, the prices seem like we went back in time like 10 15 years man...... never can find food so cheap and reasonably good these days..... think i am gonna be a Uni canteen lover man..... food food glorious food, cheap glorious food...... waaaahhaaahahahahahaha........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looks like the food took my mind off time man....... was almost late for the h-hour (army lingo again, dun bother if u dunno), siao liao, had to do like a 400m run in order to make sure i was not late, heng i din miss the ferry, if not i will have to swim there sia.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny thing about this exercise is that the boat trip there takes abt 45 mins, and 45 mins back. But the controls only take less than 10 mins..... wah lau, in like 30 mins, we did wat we were supposed to get done there and were headed home man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a good chat to a Commando Warrant Officer on the trip to and fro, wah lau the Commandos need to brush up on their VP with the pilots man.... they really suck! But this encik was very nice, he was sharing his experiences with me and i guess wat was different is that he is not the 'old school' kind that looks down upon the junior officers, so really enjoyed the talk with him, we talked about alot of stuff, not only army stuff, so it was nice to chat with someone....... thanks encik ng....... = P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I THINK MY LIFE IS GETTING NICER AND NICER!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rgds&lt;br /&gt;Scott&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6419175-108366290299864668?l=lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/108366290299864668'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/108366290299864668'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com/2004_05_01_archive.html#108366290299864668' title=''/><author><name>Scott</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11183508777606625465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1365.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419175.post-108347628093711451</id><published>2004-05-01T22:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-05-01T22:42:21.310-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;That's a First!

Managed to meet Zilin, got brekky for her, poor gal never has brekky in the morning cuz she perpetually wakes up in the nick of time..... so i bought her brekky..... she sure was surprised..... glad she liked the breakfast......... Mac's Big Breakfast....... = P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then i met up with Justine, we went for the Open Water Dive Course theory lesson......... wah cannot take it, Singaporeans always LATE! Lesson supposed to start at 0900hrs, in the end 10+ then start, the club spent alot of time settling administrative matters, collecting fees and stuff...... poor administration i guess...... Learnt alot of stuff about diving, bouyance compensators, masks, fins, snorkels, etc........ Think the dive is gonna be fun...... yeah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, had a lunch of Yong Tau Fu in Arts Canteen........... together with Justine and her friend, sorry can't remember her name, will make it a point to try find it out tactfully....... wah i think NUS food very cheap...... drinks even cheaper sia..... think if i go there sure get FAT one..........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After that, had to head back home before going back to camp........ Mom called earlier asking me if i needed a lift....... called her back and dad was willing to be my Ahmmad....... but my 'Ahmad' very show attitude sia......... cannot find the place then make a hell of alot of noise.......... piangz!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later in the day, headed back to camp to settle some stuff and then do some the duty of the CDO, which was ME! Sianz!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Really very tired on the way back, slept for the most part of it...... had to force myself to stay awake, in order to not miss my stop....... finally managed to get home and took a bathe........ and then talk the night away with someone close to heart.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I LOVE MY LIFE MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rgds&lt;br /&gt;Scott&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6419175-108299201332562063?l=lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/108299201332562063'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/108299201332562063'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com/2004_04_01_archive.html#108299201332562063' title=''/><author><name>Scott</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11183508777606625465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1365.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419175.post-108280283924587039</id><published>2004-04-24T02:54:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-04-24T20:02:23.950-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;What A Busy Week It has Been............&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hello everyone again........ i am back, finally able to blog again, due so certain reasons, i have either been unable to blog, ie not in the mood or else, my packed schedule has left me with no time to find a computer hooked up to the internet....... sheesh, sometimes, i think my Bn is quite prehistoric........ no links to the outside world.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So lets recap what has happened over the week.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thursday Evening&lt;/em&gt;.............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had a great dinner with Zilin in Plaza Singapore at this very nice Japanese resturant...... had a very wonderful meal of Yakiniku Ramen and Kaninabe!!! No i am not scolding anyone........ it is actually paper steamboat, japanese style....... wow the food was great, the company on the other hand was even &lt;strong&gt;GREATER&lt;/strong&gt;!! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1070.JPG"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Come on spending time with Zilin is one of the most blissful things in life my friends................. i dun really care what and how the hell the world thinks, but this is something i will not give up...... sorry mates, you all probably know me too well, yes STUBBORN me..... i will still be the great friends... with Zilin............. Thank You Zilin for the wonderful evening and the dinner.... hope u like the little prezzy that i got u.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Friday Evening&lt;/em&gt;.......................&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wah this day was super happening man, really busy, even had some really exciting events in the day......... My guys were involoved in the &lt;em&gt;Bn Skill At Arms Competition&lt;/em&gt;, a competition where they pitted their training against the rest of the rifle sections in the Bn...... Something i am very glad is that all the effort in training the guys have paid off....... my guys did extremely well........ with almost all the guy s having at least Recon 2B and a couple of my guys getting Recon 1. So i feel really proud of them.... think they finally realise how come they have to go through so much training......... Think my guys even gave some of the rifle sections a run for their money..... kudus to the guys that put in a great deal of effort and my commanders for put in the effort in this thankless task of being a teacher to the men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there was the twist in this story....... after the event, an SKM course, RSM, regimental sergent major, found that he had 3 thunderflash caps missing, a thunderflash will be likened to an extremely large party popper, it makes a loud bang........ and worse still only officers were in contact with them....... he suspected that an officer took it. I still think that his suspicions may be correct, but the repercussions of the missing caps had dire consequences......... the Bn was to be on Stand by bed, the officer bunks had to be searched. I had to figure out a way to solve this issue....... i looked to the Platoon Sergents.... knowing that they always had a stash of extra excess stuff........ they are practically rubbish collecters, mighty good ones at it too i must say........ then a certain platoon sergent got the chance to be hero...... he had a stash of excess that saved the day man......... but hell the RSM was still not convinced man, i dun really blame him, i myself suspect that a certain officer took the thunderflash too....... sometimes i really shake my head when i look at some officers.......... sigh.............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rest of the evening had me travelling great distances and falling asleep along the way..... = P really had a wonderful evening experience........... i'd like to keep this to myself = P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a nutshell&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The week has brought to my attention some things in life that i have not been able to see before...... personalities, likes, dislikes, people in general and more importantly, great thoughts about life........ I really love the life i live and in no way would i like to change it........ It is just something that is predestined, yet in the hands of the beholder, ie yourself......... confusing but yet simplistic to its very basic nature......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I REALLY LOVE MY LIFE.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to thank Joel very much for talking to me this week.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rgds&lt;br /&gt;Scott&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6419175-108280283924587039?l=lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/108280283924587039'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6419175/posts/default/108280283924587039'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeinretrospect.blogspot.com/2004_04_01_archive.html#108280283924587039' title=''/><author><name>Scott</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11183508777606625465</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://mars.walagata.com/w/scottchen/CIMG1365.JPG'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419175.post-108262493617631697</id><published>2004-04-22T01:48:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2004-04-22T02:18:07.310-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Another Mambo Night!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think it is becoming SOP that i and the rest are finding ourselves at Mambo every Wednesday. Yesterday was great fun, managed to dance like there was no tomorrow and hell, it really felt like it at some point in time........ Somethings you know you are gonna lose, u just dunno when and how.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In attendance was resident Mambo regulars, Mo, Soon Yong, Gerald and myself. In addition, there was Zilin, Jerry, Charlie CSM, Mo's friends and hell of alot more people........ I was not really bothered, cuz my attention was focused somewhere else.... = P&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Had great fun and later in the evening, Sisi even turned up, was surprised to see her, but glad..... dunno why, but glad....... Gerald was on the verge of getting piss drunk and thank goodness he did not end up in another one of his birthday piss drunk modes......... &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I dunno the time seems to be passing in blocks for me...... at times, i am at great estasy, super happy, and very pleased with the life i lead. But at other times, i feel rather terrible...... flashforwards, not flashbacks, cloud my mind and i am saddened when i have to imagine what will happen in the future, just a few months down the road............ sigh............. = ( but i guess that is just life.......... i need to find some solid path that i can thread on in order to counter this, so hopefully i do find my way soon....... i guess when people lose themselves in life, they have to find their way back, cuz only that way can they learn...............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I learnt some surprising stuff this past week man, about the people around me and i hate to say it, but some of it does disgust me greatly......... but that is the complexity of life and it is much easier to talk about it than to actually try to understandd it..............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where are my friends when i need to talk to them..... thankfully Joel is always there to render his 2 cents worth to me when i really need it.
