To forget and remember

To forget the bad and remember the good stuffs-

Cliche isnt it? But do we really have this inculcated into our minds?

Take this person, he was a coincincidently involved in the death of a fren, and sentenced to jail for a few years. After his release, do u think u will give him a chance back into the society? But will the rest of the society?

Take another classic example: looking at a couple in a relationship, they look so blissful, perhaps even a slightest chance they will get married, but marred by a bad joke from destiny, they quarreled and the relationship turns sour. At this point, do they stop, look back and reminisce the happy times they had?

And this i relate to equal chances, if u were a boss, would u hire someone who is honest, but has a criminal offence, or someone who has a 'clean' record but appears to be honest? For all u know, that particular employee might be putting up a facade

Meritocracy- rings a bell? Singapore spells meritocracy throughout. But graduates nowadays think they merit their salary after tough times in universities. Furthermore u can have someone who are highly educated, but do not give a shit to the operations of a company.

So is this system driving people to becoming more selfless? Or selfish?

For guys lets look back to NS, look at ur officers and specs, or even urself, why do u really think u deserve ur rank? do u really deserve ur rank? I have seen some, who are pure wayang

For all, look at the society, ur organisation, people are so consume by their salary package, stepping on one another to go all the way up.

For soccer lovers, the cheats who dives, play act, influence the referees

For ourself, a simple question, "will u do something in the long run that will not benefit yourself?"

Or should we call this system monetocracy?

Sidetrack - Anyway this lady from my company she resigned and ytd was her last day, i asked her why and she told me: "不要浪费他们的时间" (dont waste the co's time) very 潇洒 (cool :S)

So lets not have prejudice, take a leap of faith, and give others a chances :D

PS: very bad organisation, no flow of topics but whatever!

*flips a coin and catches it in my hands* what's ur guess?

Stop and wait a sec, let us look at the world in a different perspective. If i were to twist the rules, making the side of the coin with the flowers to be heads and the side with the code of arms to be the tails, then the result will be different right?

So would ur answers still remain the same if i have changed the rule? But wait, there's only 50% chance of getting this wrong so fuck it, i'm still gonna go for tails (which in this case, its the code of arms)

May i add in another factor, where a rich man is having a bet on the outcome of the coin toss. Being filthy rich, he got no interest in money. His bet, his pinky.. being a sore loser, he influenced the judges to side with his bet (heads) and when the result is called, it was the flower side of the coin and he judges called heads.

Anyway i pity the loser in this case but i must say all of us are a victim of thus barbaric bet. Let me influence ur perpective, this girl, she's really gorgeous, kind and nice and the perfect girl that every man desire as a wife. But what if i told u she's a loose woman? She do drugs?

So do u have the same impression of her? Why the change? What have she done to make u think otherwise?

Upon reaching the finale of this post, i would like u to imagine a person u are fond of, and a person who u have a distate for. Both of them are doing the same thing, both are saying the same thing.. however no matter how much right the person u dislike do, u are still annoyed by that person. On the other side, even the fart from the person u like u say it smells nice.

One last thing.. there are 2 sides of the coins, and the result of a toss may be different depending on the assumed biasness on the situation. So what?

So fuck it, that's life.

Hello bitches, i'm done with my reservice. To summarise, it was real fun and one of he best 2 weeks of my life since working.. i would say the mix of people is rather unique, but being the first ict for almost 90% of the cohort and age ranging from 24 to 32, i would say all of us gel well.

And dunno why we were so garang as my impression of nsmen speaks otherwise lol but still, it was very very e

njoyable with my frens and new frens ard

Ok like what hi ong mentioned, i will write a long post but it was delayed till now coz i was busy and tired lol

Having some conversation with people from other walks of life, and more senior than myself.. i feel that life mold a person in many ways.. they way they behave, speak and think.. even though i look older than i am (i'm still at my sweet 24), my way of thinking is like a 20yo in some ways

Nvm abt that coz this 2 weeks even while i'm enjoying, i lost myself in the thought process and eventually, i realise what life is all abt.. there should be a purpose, a pinch of emotions, abit of ups and alot of downs.. and a whole lot of spontaneity to make life fun

And lastly to senior we ian and ho yie, 我们是海军!!
