The past, present, future

Kinda tired now, so this shall be a short (hopefully) post with a few topics in mind. Had these topics in my head for the past few days - starting from the most recent.

Yea, life is fragile, treasure the loved ones around you before they are gone; how long we live in this world is kinda destined, fated - that's what I've alwsys believed, when its time for you to go, you go. No questions asked, no second chance given. Have heard many near deaths incidents of those around me, and literally 'near-death' means that they actually survived to tell the tale, and of course we have (just) heard unpredictable/unnatural deaths, where at the snap of your finger - gone.

Nothing to do with any of the news or whatsoever, II just had the thought earlier that I only live once and I might wanna do some extreme activities which I thought I'd never do like learning to ride a motorcycle. I wanna do many things that I thought I'd never do. At least I want to attempt. Though it may seem selfish that I want to be daring, I want to bold, I want to experience, I want to risk, without considering the amount of stress/worry that I may burden my parents after 2 decades of bringing me up. Maybe a simple solution would be: Don't let them know =p See how, haven't really give much thought about it.

Think this may link to the previous topics like meeting new people, making friends, etc. As an platoon commander now, I need to interact with my men. I've learnt that I am so much better at connecting to one person at a personal level, to influence my leadership on them than to establishing a command presence to a group of them and not knowing a shit thing about each one of them. Guess that's why I've my counterpart to compliment our working styles. Hope the best for my platoon/company despite all the upcoming challenges and I've never felt so purposeful about NS before. Alright, I shan't talk about it to bore my readers, my point is there.

I may take up SAT lessons on weekends so I can open up my choices in the US. Be it as a backup plan or an action to prove that I'm not taking the easy way out, I honestly don't know, because as of now, as you might have guessed, I'm still thinking about it (you know it, procrastinating is what I meant actually).

I've lost track on my monetary spending for the past months. This is bad. With the increase in allowance, comes the increase in the expenditure. I really have to control my finance well. I'm also making plans to do investments, before all my hard-earned savings get further eroded by inflation.

My fitness is something that I'm gonna work on also. Man I do have incoherent chain of thoughts. This post isn't that short as I said earlier.

It feels good making plans. It has been a while since I last make plans. Next step: actions to execute these plans. It's gonna be tough. If life is that easy, it isn't life at all. And I only live once.

I think I might have missed out some topics, but heck it happens and I'm tired. That's all folks.
