A heart beat between 1-2seconds, Two heart beats between 1-2seconds, Three heart beats, rushing in with a gasps, between 1-2seconds. Yes, like 3 heart beats and gasps, fear is! Then the eyes starts getting brighter, as though it were opening for the first time, Moving from blur to clear, like a zoom minus to zoom plus, back to zoom minus until it stabilises to zoom plus. Yes, like ZOOM, fear is! And then they come fluttering like random pictures in the cloud, You begin to see Power Puff Girls and Mojojo having a cup of tea laughing.. The Joker sends Batman a birthday gift with a card saying their kids would prolly have a play date next week. Then Superman tells the whole world he's Clark Kent. Yes, like movies, fear is! It's all up there.. in the MIND! Fluttering and keeping us in suspense with our hearts racing. Don't let your mind be your limitation - remove fear!!! For our father hath not given us the spirit of fear!! 2 Tim 1...

Yes, I've served and I've dusted off those jungle boots (even though I never wore mine as it was oversized). Though I'm suppose to forget my P.P.A but I won't because I met some fellas that are great and who made my year 'laughable'. No matter how a thing or situation feels unnecessary to have or explore, you'd end up learning one or two things. Now what's next after service life? How much have we learnt during the service year? Were the relationships we built worthwhile? Are we expected to start a job or to be our own bosses? How long will it take to get employed? How long will it take to start and grow a business? So many lines to fall into place. So many expectations that looks like a bed of roses. REALITY: Life can be a bed of roses. Life can be a bed of thorns. Life can be 'all that gl...
