Cock.
Yes. This entry is dedicated for talking cock. And showing some cock pictures too. Not literally, though. And I just have the sudden urge to say that I bet Gervinn can't view my blog now (not that he does so in the first place) because his mum has family filter for his internet connection, so I bet it filters out the word "cock". Well anyway, here goes..
Today was supposed to be our off-in-lieu for the Formation Anniversary Parade, but all of us had to attend a compulsory "company retreat". And I thought they taught us that Our Army NEVER retreats. We only retrograde. Hoho. Okay fine, I know this "retreat" means a different thing, but well, I'm just talking cock here. But anyway, at least it was quite a constructive day, and I had quite some fun at night. And I bet Yuheng will love this post, since there are so many pictures. Here goes:
Guess whose big butt the left one is.. (You can guess the small butt on the left if you like..)
Akira with his cute little 10-year-old brother, Akida. Happy Family!
Coy 2IC with his wife & daughter. Yet another Happy Family!!
Here's another clue to the identity of the butt owners..
Shing just went Siloso Beach to suntan. Let's compare it with Kah Meng's indoor tan..
Check out the bee hoon dropping out from Zhee Loong's mouth..
Yes!! The butt belongs to Alvin Toh!! (And Eddie, if you actually bothered about the insignificant butt..)
Girls would definitely be sad to see that the "I can get a girlfriend with just one phone call" Rui Qiang has actually fallen for Eddie..
It's amazing what you can do by taking a photo of section 3 without Victor..
..and then taking a photo of Victor..
..and then edit them with Photoshop. Yes, it could have looked better, but I can't be bothered to put in too much effort.
Last photo of the day. Various specs from the company leaving together. (Yes I know.. Aldrin & Choon Teck don't wear specs..)
And so, the company retreat ended on a high note. Except for the part where Issey decided to forsake us at the last minute as he had to fetch his girlfriend and did not have enough fuel to make the additional trip, which ended up in some of us having to take taxi to the MRT. Actually, I wasn't really that pissed with Issey. It's just that I got to see the ugly side of SOME PEOPLE. And I can't blame them, because I might have done the same thing. But it just didn't feel right, so i guess I wouldn't have done it after all. Not unless it was a mutual agreement or something. But well, what matters is, we had a fun day. And it'll be one of those memories I will be able to look back upon after our departure.

Change.
That's "Stay the Same" by Joey McIntyre. I've loved this song since its release in 1999. The music video is rather.. no link though. Yes, it's old. But I don't categorize songs by whether they are "new" or "old". I prefer "nice" and "not nice".
Eugene (Yes, your name is finally significant enough to appear on my blog. Happy?) said that he and Nicholas think I've changed. For the better, it seems. Which is weird, because I haven't noticed. Neither have I put in any effort to change. But either case, I'm glad that things are the way they are now. At least between me and the rest. Or most of them, at least.
Some relationships may have flourished, but others.. Well, I guess some things are better left unsaid. It's amazing how some problems can just surface so easily. Human emotions are hard to fathom, to say the least. I've tried talking to some of those in conflict, but they don't seem the least bit interested in relenting. I wonder how much longer this can go on.
I've never wanted to change my behaviour. Because I believe that I do not need to change myself to suit the world, as long as I do not do anyone any wrong. Which was why I insisted on commanding by respect, not by fear. Which ended in people having the impression that I've "crossed the line". But either case, now that we have turned ops, no one really bothers with punishment anymore. I haven't changed much, really. My interpretation would be that their impression of me has changed. But one thing's for sure. I'm still not interested in them talking about Battlefield 2142. FPS games are just not my type.
Even though I've never wanted to change my behaviour, I've always tried to change the way I look. I suppose it's human nature to want to look one's best. Especially in a world where everyone judges everyone else by the way they look (read: superficial). Or at least at first. I'm guilty of this crime too, but I'm sure most of us are. And it doesn't really help when I've never been attached. I'm not despo, really. It's just that, it makes me feel that something must be horribly wrong with my looks when EVEN SOME PEOPLE are attached. Because many people have commented that I'm a nice guy. Hoho. Bragging about myself on my blog. Well anyway, if there's nothing much wrong with my character, I suppose I don't look too good. How nice of me to display my level of self-esteem (or lack of it, rather) on my blog. Imagine if my future potential employers were to read this. Well, I have absolutely no doubt in my abilities. It's just that I think there's much room for improvement for my looks.
I'd wish to stay the same too, if only I looked better.

Sorry seems to be...
...the easiest word. At least it definitely isn't the hardest, despite what the song might say. In our culture, it seems like almost everyone expects to be forgiven once they say the magical word. So much so that it has lost it's significance. Done something wrong? Just say sorry. That's what everyone was taught to do, so it should be right, isn't it? But what's the purpose of saying sorry when you don't mean it? Some people know me for my saying of "Don't say sorry unless you REALLY mean it." Because nowadays, many people just say sorry for the sake of saying it, thinking that the victim will forgive him/her. But that doesn't work for me. It's like saying happy birthday when it's not your birthday. Okay, that's a rather bad analogy, but the point is, I don't like it when people say sorry solely for the purpose of attempting to dissolve the awkwardness. If, and when, I say sorry, there can be two possible scenarios. Firstly, which is usually the case, it is when I'm really sorry for what I've done. The other less desirable scenario is when I can't really be bothered about what the other party thinks and say it simply maintain the status quo and avoid conflict. In other cases, if I feel I haven't done anything wrong, or if I don't feel guilty, I won't bother to say sorry. Because I don't like to be a hypocrite.
It's not just about saying sorry. When you want to say something nice, make sure you mean it. From my grandma's wake, I've come to conclude that all the people and organizations who sent wreaths, which were addressed to my uncle, didn't mean what they said. All of them came from the same template. Basically, all of them wrote, "(Deepest condolences / Heartfelt sympathy and deepest condolences / Deepest sympathy and condolences) on the demise of you beloved mother." So, the question is.. whose sympathy and condolences are the deepest then? None, I guess. But I don't suppose there's much else to say during such times. But again, my point is, don't say it unless you REALLY mean it.

Good Friday.
Good Friday. It was the day Jesus redeemed us, as Christians believe. It was the day my grandmother passed away. And yes, I did cry.
There was supposed to another entry in place of this one. Darth Kinky had mentioned that my blog entries were too serious, so I was intending to change my style a little for a new entry. But I can't really keep up my humour right now. Maybe next time.

Desires. Again.
Alright I bitched too much in the previous entry that I've actually forgotten to discuss about other more important issues regarding desires. It's amazing how the desire to bitch can make me forget about what I had originally planned for the previous post. Hence, this entry exists to correct that horrible mistake.
I don't know how I managed to leave this out the previous time, but the crux of my previous entry was supposed to be about universal desires. For it seems to me that, even though different people have different desires, the desires tend to revolve around general.. stereotypes. It seems like the wrong word to use, but I have no idea what other word I can use to express my thoughts.
An example of these "universal desires" would be the desire for love. It is manifested in different forms for different individuals, but I think it is one of the basic, universal desires that all humans.. desire. It is the reason why we make friends, why we get attached with a boyfriend/girlfriend, and even how we seek understanding from family members. However, different people do it differently. When in need of love, some choose to seek solace in members of the opposite sex, while others choose to confide in their closest friends.
But whatever the case is, I think the reason why each of us desire for love is simple: It is the need to feel important. Being loved would mean that somebody actually cares that you are alive. The thing is, most of us do not just want to merely exist. We want to know that somebody actually needs us, just as much as we need them. That gives us a reason to live on. At least that's how I feel. This idea seems to have been explored in Naruto, where what many of the shinobi (e.g. Naruto, Haku, Gaara, and the list goes on..) wanted was to feel important, to find meaning for them to exist.
Another one of the universal desires, i suppose, would be the desire for money, for we are living in a very materialistic world, where it seems impossible to pass a day without any expenditure. But again, this desire is manifested differently for different people. Especially when you split people into different income groups. I suppose rich people don't desire for money as much as poor people, since they already have much of it. But then again, I'm reminded of this famous statement made by the Oracle from the Matrix trilogy: "What do men with power want? More power." So I guess it would be unfair to generalize. But the point is, all of us want money. Be it greed or simply for survival.
There's more examples of these "universal desires" that I can give, such as the desire to look good, the desire to make a difference, (I'm sure most of us thought of it some time or another) etc. But all these desires boil down to one desire: The desire for happiness. Why do we want love? To be happy. Why do we want money? To be happy. The truth is, what most of us want is simply to be happy. It seems very vague, but that's how it's meant to be, for different people have different measures for happiness. For me, I don't really know what can make me happy. I'm still trying to find out. Maybe for me, it'll be one of those things which will elude me the harder I try to find it, for until now, it still seems rather far away. Or maybe it's simply because I don't know when to be contented. Either case, I guess I'll carry on searching for my own happiness.
N.B.: YES!!! I DIDN'T BITCH AT ALL IN THIS ENTRY!! W00T!! (Oh man I sound so childish..)
