The Cloths of Heaven
One of my best friends got married over the weekend. The first of my close friends whose wedding I attended, and it might be a little unmanly to say it but I was actually quite moved by it.

If you gave me a penny
If you gave me a penny Every time I thought of you, You'd be a declared bankrupt; And I'd be well-to-do.

Happiness — a state of mind.
It's been a week since I completed my two-week in-camp-training (ICT) stint. For those two weeks, I complained to everyone who would listen how much I disliked it, and how I couldn't wait for "normal" life to resume.

I guess it's because A "new something" is fleeting While a "something" lasts a little longer. The transcience... Continue Reading →
