The power of words set people thinking..
Words can make a person.
Words can break a person.
Words can make a person break another person.
And so it seems..
But when the words truly come, directly, indirectly, intentionally or unintentionally, do we believe in it, or do we still stand by the peers who is targeted.
I believe being a rational person. Feelings often take control and its nothing wrong. You feel the frustration and the angst of the person barking the words. But since that person is whom you respected the most, whom u look up to, one becomes dumbfounded about the discovery, about the "actual" wolf in the sheep hide that you didn't know but somehow you heard from others.
However, doesn't anyone ever thought back about the relationship, the friendship that was forged single-handedly by just that two people alone? Is it really that easy for a third party, an outsider to the exclusive friendship make a judgement and causes the downfall of the relationship?
I had seen many losing the trust or taking a second look at their friends, especially those they just made, because of the words that so break them. a second look simply change everything that seemed perfect. More often than not, they move on, because somehow, its alright to lose them. Start to forget and forever a negative mindset bestowed onto that person who could be a nice friend, who could actually be innocent. Who might not even understand what he had just done to invoke these unfeelings, these hostility from a friend whom he thought would work well.
Have we reach a point where connections with people become so vast that changing opinions can be so easy. So deadly.
Shouldn't they even clarify with the friends who was "blacklisted" by others, by words that we actually heard. Won't they feel that their friends they turned down, be hurt at all?
But life's seemed to continue like this. Fragile and instantaneous change of fate. Where the person who can convince, wins. But then, is he really a friend? Is he the only reason why you stay. Is he the the one that you look up to? He whom I described as, "Jack of all trades, master of none"..
Trust. Give them a chance. Relationship shouldn't be motivated by others.
But by your beating heart...

Cherish the moment..
50 years down the road,
what do we remember of our days when we were all young?
When we all discover what life had installed for us,
the little things that we find joy in, the conversations we used to have..
Do we remember the choices we made that impacted the path life we'll take?
Do we remember the friendships forged and lost along the way?
If they all matter, will we remember them all?
I do hope so.
It seems life's going so fast now, that certain things have to be left untouched. And untouched it would be forever. Lots of friendship were made, lots more broken. One moment the focus was on something i thought held meaning but the next moment all were gone. I want to remember everything, i want everything to count. But sometimes, inevitably, things get lost along the way. And by things, i mean friendships too; relationship, someone precious, someone whom i could have known better, or just someone whom i missed out on, never ever had a chance.
And obviously, the things we do now, the many things we are often busy about, the commitments that we have, that is exactly where we will make our friends, and that is exactly where the limit lies. And that would mean I wouldn't have the chance with anyone else after that. And to know that just makes me feel a little down.
Time does really matter afterall, or should i say, the lack of time.
Even right now, Unity seemed eons ago. When Unity came into mind, I can only think of a few photographic memories etched deeply in my mind. Still the same, i know Unity had been there for me.
I do not want to forget. But will photographs ever replace that feelings we now have? I doubt so. But right now where i am, let me cherish those times i have, the journeys with you guys give me faith.
50 years down the road, I want to be able to tell my grandson how life has shone on me like how it will shine on you. How friends will come and go, but the memories will always last.
Even right now, its happening.
Right here in Unity NCC(Air)..
All the ups and downs we've been through together as one will not last forever
What says 50 years later..?
I guess I will just have more to immerse myself into. Much more.
To understand. To value. And to cherish one another so as to uphold this strong bonds we've build together
Let's not take this strong bond that we have for granted.
Because what we have experience, then, will be a new chapter tomorrow.

Its A New Chapter!
It had been three days since the New Year 2008 Countdown Party but I hope its not too late for me to wish all Hornets.. A Happy New Year..!
Speaking of celebrating new year, I'm sure there's quite a handful of you out there that stay up all night on New Year's Eve just to, you know, bade the final farewell to 2007 and welcome a fresh 2008. Whatever it is, I hope fellow Hornets did it for a good reason. Like the saying goes, an optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in while a pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. So what are you? An optimistic or a pessimistic? You decide..
But at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter how you welcome the new year because most importantly is how you reflect on yourself. Your achievements.. Your failures.. Your relationship for the previous year and how you can improve on them to live a better life.. To mould a better future. Its like a book you see. We open the book and see those blank pages. We will put words on those pages to make it interesting. It is called the book of Opportunities and its first chapter is New Year's Day.
Very often, we have our own, perhaps our secret, New Year Resolution with us. You know, just to keep us on track to get where we want by the end of the year. This can be our exam grades.. For the graduating classes, of course its the big 'O'. And perhaps in NCC.. How we could improve on our drills.. attitude.. commitment.. and find ways to contribute to the unit so that we might not feel awkward when we turn back and think, "What have I done for NCC during my 4-5 years of service?"
So now is the accepted time to make or to re-examine your regular annual good resolution. Because the very bad thing about having those 'goody-goody' resolution is when you can't handle them. And next week you begin paving hell with them as usual.
So to scoop it up I hope Hornets will erect something to improvise on themselves and don't do it just because I ask you to but have the will.. and the faith to really do it with a minimum degree of passion and compassion. I can assure you that you will see yourself smiling your way towards the end of the year with your achievements in hand. Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all wisdom that experience can instill on us.
Before I end this New Year's message, I hope Hornets will begin a new chapter in life and always remember... Begin with an end in mind.. I wish Hornets all the best and once again, a Happy New Year!
"How very true. I hope each year I'm a better.. man?"
