To th Immature all things are Immature

Dec 2004..it was supposed to be high monsoon season..but it was burning..n humid..n the mozzies were out as normal..n my section under PT Lim n mi were with the other pioneers getting ready to do a little demolitions exercise..i can't tell where or wat types of explosives were being used or else i'd be arrested for breaching the Official Secrets Act but i can say it was a life-changing experience...i sobered up pretty fast to the ever present realities of wat it is we were training for in NS..i mean, the process started why i first set foot on Pulau Tekong on Day 1 of BMT...n SISPEC was like getting exposed to real command stuff..but that day in Dec 2004 was when most of it came together..

i miss Damien's sometimes annoying tone but he was always very realistic n practical...they were all very very mature..n many of the pple i've encountered at uni are not....there is an old saying..to the childish all things are childish...n to the immature, all things are immature..such ppl only view the world thru a narrow minded n small vision..i really really miss that kind of clear, practical, wats next kind of thinkin from the army sometimes...no nonsense, direct, rough n tumble..dun like it ya can blah blah blah blah..n after the job, we'd have a smoke aroun the yellow box..n though those were dark days for my faith, they did refine my character

i'm missin Singaporeans..esp those from a combat background..sometimes, in life, a little clear headed no nonsense is good..even at uni...n especially college..man..i think i need to hang out with some Singaporeans here more...rite Johnnie?;)

den again, it might be better if i found pple that i'm on the same level with...or aroun this age...all due respect to my younger peers n frens...but i do need some frens my age sometimes..i dun feel the need to stick closely to a certain group of frens or hav to form a clique...i will be equally frenli to all but i dun think i need to purposely be close to pple..i think i need to translate that reality into concrete terms in getting a car...haha
