Form Over Substance

The loudest one in the room thinks that they've won.

But, Empty vessels make the loudest sound,
have the least wit and are the greatest blabbers.

  1. Trust no one, but yourself.
  2. Just because no one lists your flaws, doesn't mean you don't have any.
  3. Never make mountains out of molehills.
  4. When your complaining, and i'm silent and hearing, it probably means i don't agree. (Refer to point 2). But i'm gonna let you finish anyway. Cos, "What ever makes you happy."
  5. Fact VS Opinion. But its not always the truth that wins, wonderful speakers make wonderful stories. And everyone loves a good entertainer.

Its been such a long time since i've blogged. So many things have happened. It going to be six months overseas. Just a few more days. In this short time, i have learnt many things and has many new experiences.

Had my family over in Brunei for a weekend getaway. It was a really wonderful time.Went out to new places. Brought my nieces swimming. Visited a Hindu temple in Seria. Saw a bunch of nodding donkeys.

And then, an unexpected trip back to Singapore. My granddad had passed on. The first funeral in about 13 years. So many things i did not known. So many traditions. In all, many thanks to my mom's siblings for all the help.

This trip was the first time i did not even think about JAC. I guess, i didn't have the time for it. The 8 day prayer went by and it was time for me to get back to this distant island. Before that, i dragged everyone for a quick trip to town for my grandma. Just to show her around. ION... Lau Pasat... Merlion... Too many things popped up in my mind. The fear, that death isn't something that people just talk about and my grandma is not getting any younger.

My life after army. My family. My Sister. The Company. So many things.

I didn't even have the time to meet up with everyone. Only met up with my best buddies. And also managed to drop by the office just hours before my flight.
Back in Brunei. Things are just the same. Well, some things never change.

As Above, So Below
