A FLaShBaCk

...Lo aNd BeHoLd...
Last night, I was watching a show called 'Life With Derek'.

Tracy: Dad, people think I'm worked up because I always try too hard.
Dad: Tracy, you'll accomplish great things because you dare to go the extra mile.


Some food for thought. Always believe in yourself and your abilities.

I really believe that the SAF deserves thorough credit in its ability to diminish boundaries between men from all walks of lives, races and even age groups, all serving as one united entity, the driving force. This morning, I was just having a Physics Discussion cum casual chat with my Physics lecturer, Dr Yeo.


Of course we started talking about Physics and then we went into discussion about school life. Eventually, we stumbled upon the topic of our days serving the nation. The tone of the conversation totally changed from that of mentor and student to that of friends, of course with all due respect on my part. We talked about careers and why I choose to carry on with the Proffession of Arms. A morning seriously well spent.



Somehow, somewhere, I forgot that my main duty has always been towards the nation. I guess with University life it is easy to be carried away by the influence of friends. HOWEVER, when its time to have fun and go wild, soldiers can do that. But they should never ever forget their underlying duties and reason for choosing a career with the force.
