Beer, Dreams and a lesson

On a bleak Friday evening,
"Come mess leh,"
"For what?"
"Talk cock la."
Taking my time, I found my way to mess and a beer was immediately placed on my table. I thought it will just be a drinking session but it turned out to a session of heart to heart talk. Ian was talking cock after a few cans and this sentence had my attention.
"People have scarificed for freedom. I like the feeling for having the freedom to choose." Freedom is indeed a powerful thing. I want the freedom to manage my time.
So far, I think I have made the right career path. It has been the material that spur me to work harder. I want to be able to buy a Bentley Continental GT (A) and a semi-D at University Road.
Taking a step back and ponder, its not the material that I want but the feeling of achieving more than my potential that I am after. My recent talks with Shi revolves around that Mr Ting, ex ATS principal has preached.
Remembering your roots, know where you were from.
ATS school's motto as below.











Is it fate? The previous Div Comd, a charismatic leader whose charm has been compared to that of Andy Lau came to camp on Friday evening. Driving only a Toyota Camry, he brought some guests to camp. He can clearly afford any continental car but with his steadfast values he drives a Camry. I realised its not what material you have but it is that you can afford that material but having the humility to choose a cheaper material.

Hence, it is I can afford a Bentley and Semi-D in University Road but I will settle for a Honda Accord.

Such lesson is not what you can learn in textbooks.
