memories & insights

7 days left in Signal Institute. I learnt a lot of things in my 1 day exercise, however i still do not know quite a number of things in the signal vehicle. It rained during the night of exercise and my underwear was soaking wet when i climb onto the vehicle. It was quite dangerous too. Next week got lots of tests and a 16km route march and we will receive our signaler's insignia.
Just now went to ION to buy something for someone(cannot reveal who at this moment). After that went to Woodlands library to read 'Confucius- from the heart by YU DAN'. I managed to finish reading chapter 1 and intend to borrow it other time. It teaches life lessons which are useful. Chapter 1 is the way of heaven and earth. Talking about nature, faith and forbearance. 'Trust is vital for a nation to survive'- extracted from that book. Lots of people are blinded by material possessions, reputation and fame. One cannot help being arrogant once they have those. Confucius teaches us to have a contented mind, remain courteous and humble when we have those. While those who are poor do not beg for things. 'Happiness' do not belong to those who are rich. 'Do not do things to other people where you yourself dun desire.' That is the key points of chapter 1 of that book.
TML going to Vienna Buffet @ United Square for mum's birthday, but cake cutting will be later, tonight.
My blog started at 2007, which is year 1 of my poly life so it does not include my secondary school days memories. I will post my Secondary 1 to 5 memories in my next post. CYA!
