I have just realised one thing today... friends are people who let you criticise them and they will accept your judgement and correct their mistake... not that i didn't know it already but it has affected a certain viewpoint of mine on an issue...

I have never pulled any punches in what i say and i will not in this blog... i have always been known as the bad guy or the straight talker cos people are just too polite and considerate to say somethings that will sound hurtful and un-nice... i however refuse to believe in such a thing cos if you are one of my closer friends i will criticise with even more frequency and intensity cos i believe that you are willing to regard me as a friend means you are willing to accept my views and criticisms and all the more i expect from you as a friend... if i don care i wouldn't care less about whether you are doing something right or wrong and that is something you must realise... i don concur or condone anybody's behaviour unless there is an absolute need to... if you think my criticisms are unfounded and misguided let me tell you 1 thing... usually when i criticise i have enough evidence on my hands to back the case i put forward if not i will not declare my hand... i do not fight a losing battle and neither will i propagate stuff that i feel there is no basis for... i may not coat my words in coquettish wrappers or flowery wraps and let the subtlety permeate but i can tell you the meaning behind what i say is not expressed by me alone... others just don want to say it in your face. i am as usual unorthodox and irreverent and being my friend that is something you have to bear with... i graciously accept other people's criticisms and proffer mine... so reciprocate.

i must say this the KS1 is such a nuisance... why in the world must she ask an eternity of questions... does she not understand it by herself... she must learn how to think and not find the most convenient person to ask along the way... you will not get anywhere if you don bother thinking through it yourself... considering the long-standing relationship i have w her i shall not fault her too much for this... used to it...

ADDENDUM for Reflections...

Just a question to ponder... how does one actually go ocs... by pure dedication or just because you are from one of the top schools w excellent academic background and was nerdy or fortunate enough not to get any sporting injuries... so does ocs train you to be an officer or does it just bind you for another 10 more years... same goes for sispec... what is its true motivation... to retain talent by re-service? so is there really people who want to be officers? for the responsibility of being one or just the $, prestige and rank? or for the fact that w it the higher is the possibility of you getting the scholarship or course of your choice... is it not just another trophy to add to your bemedalled cabinet? I dunno... can somebody answer?

today was a happier day... i started renewing old friendships that hav lapsed for one reason or another... i must apologise for irritating the hell out of 2 ladies... w my incessant conversation w another... she is an old friend but somehow we stopped talking in j2... hopefully now we can talk again... i still dunno why we stopped talking though... talked to somebody i never expected to be able to talk to... hopw its for the better i guess... THE BLASTED ONE did it again... had to resist scolding him in front of everybody else... ytf he had to show the book to everybody? and elaborate about it... i dunno if he even know where his limits are as a friend... somethings you can say but somethings you cant... your mouth is too BIG. and yes you are good for my heart... at this rate i am going to get heart failure before i become a doctor... what an embarassing day today... stupid blasted one ogled at somebody's skirt and everybody turned around to look at him and ME!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?... i am so proud of my selection of friends man... seems like my selectivity criteria is not stringent enough...

anyway... life sux and another day has gone... another will begin and my lifestory shall spin its web... so watch out for the next installment...
