Worry Wart

My mum explained, as she already had, many, many times in those weeks, that nobody knows anything for certain, but this time she also gave me a rubber band.

"There's no sense in worrying about something you can't control. So everytime you start to think about it, just give yourself a little snap, a little punishment to stop yourself."

- Stefan Merrill Block in The Story of Forgetting

Not a bad idea to tie a rubber band around the hand and snap myself when negative thoughts seep in.

Do It Anyway

"People are often unreasonable, irrational and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies. Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you. Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight. Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous. Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten. Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough. Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."

- Mother Teresa

Good Oldie Days!

It was great to meet up with you all again, the elite specialists from Delta Company, 2nd Signal Battalion.

Years have passed but things haven't changed the least - We laugh out loud over the lousiet joke and poke fun at each other's shortcomings, all done in the name of fun.

Reminiscing the days in the army, that 2 years definitely rank as one of the best. Smashing ping-pong balls in the games room, playing virtual balls in the form of Winning Eleven, heart-to-heart men's talk in the bunk, changing tracks that weighed tonnes and left us with grisly grease, playing hide-n-seek inside the humongous garage, lengthy tea breaks, enduring long distance runs along ECP and getting extra duties from Mr Terrible RSM, it was really memorable. Good memories.

Thanks for the fun days, yester-days and today.

I Could Not Ask For More

These are the moments, I thank God that I'm alive

These are the moments, I'll remember all my life

These are the moments, I know heaven must exist

These are the moments, I know all I need is this

I found all I've waited for

I have all I've waited for

And I could not ask for more

- Diane Warren

Even if the odds are stacked against you, even if you have limitations that will hamper your lifestyle, thank God for all the other good things in your life.
