i choose to believe anything in this world is possible if u try hard in doing it. you may fail 100 times or even for 10yrs...but wat is this time span as compared to ppl who do not even have the chance to try.
live life to the fullest seize every opportunity which comes by

but what of life whose bitter hungry sea
flows at our heels,and gloom of sunless night
covers the days which never more return?
ambition, love and all the thoughts that burn
we lose too soon, and only find delight
in withered husks of some dead memory

adapted from an article inBBC news.
If you want your babies to have perfect smiles breastfeed them, Italian research suggests.
Babies who were bottle-fed and had sucked their thumb or a dummy were twice as likely to have crooked milk teeth as breastfed infants.
Breastfeeding appeared to protect against thumb and dummy sucking damage, possibly down to its affect on mouth and palate muscle development.
The University of Milan findings appear in Archives of Disease in Childhood.
Sucking action
The sucking mechanism for breast and bottle feeding is different.
Babies who breastfeed draw milk up by squeezing the lips and tongue rather than sucking.
In comparison, babies feeding from a bottle use the tongue with a piston-like motion to compress the artificial teat against the palate.
The nutritional benefits of breast-feeding are well-documented and this new research suggests that there may be a dental benefit too.
A spokeswoman from the British Dental Association
This results in a more powerful sucking activity of the lips and cheeks.
The authors believe this might affect the development of the muscles of the mouth and palate in some way, which in turn could affect how the teeth and jaw align.
Although milk teeth will be replaced, the positioning and spacing of these teeth is increasingly thought to be crucial for correct jaw alignment and positioning of permanent teeth.
Of the 1,099 children aged 3-5 years studied, over a third of the children had misalignments and poor spacing, called altered occlusion when examined by a dentist.
The front teeth of one in eight (13%) children didn't touch, a condition known as anterior open bite.
And 7% had "posterior cross bite" when the top back teeth bite inside the bottom back teeth.
Children who sucked on dummies or thumbs for more than the first year of life were twice as likely to have misalignment as those who did not.
They were four times as likely to have open bite
the wonder i have nice set of teeth hahaa but i bite my nails once in a while one le... so unhygenic right

# incredibles
quite a nice show. hahha enjoy the nice entertainment it provides... it brings my understanding of super hero to another mevel, raised from 0 not bad right.
the plot is quite cool and realistic in that sense. mr incredible has to face a law suite cos he saved a man but broke his ribs and is better off dead... and he destroy lots of properties while saving the country... costing lots of property claims... and as a results super heros are condemned and he muz lead a normal life-as a clerk.
k man u folks can go watch for yourself yah... watched the show with sadu... pei kee... zeke and randy.. hahah had great fun... talking about old times... knowing how they are doing now. sadu in chem def... zeke mr policeman and randy the signal spect.
not bad... learned qite a lot from zeke... like how 20g of herorin muz first go thru test to see how much is pure... and how my friend warrick busted a prostitude centre...he nearly forgot to call out the codeword cos the gal was stripping in front of him. and ahaha at least i learned that owning pirated cds is not an offence... cos the police will only raid your house when u have committed a crime ahhhahah
as i talk to them... the nice memories in vs juz keep running thru my head.... like the time when we had 22 relief teachers then names like mr james ng... rocky..... ms teo... mentos man... ms wong(sui kai's sis), ms Ee(gerald's cousin), Ms abligal(we made her cry), wang jun...juz came into the topic.
apparently ms joycelyn woo... the teacher i always remember cos of my bio grades... is married. wah the guy muz be damn lucky to have such a pretty and witty wife. and apparently she is still as corny as ever. zeke met her on the str a few mths back and ms woo's first question after so many years was,
" so which question did u do for A lvls ahhh??? i told u right... the plant one will be very hard... hiyoh my students now also don't know how to do."
such a committed teacher....who left such a deep impression in all her students.
so yest was quite fun... evn though i was feeling ver shag cos of ex. musan

# am i
you are the best and brightest of your cohort,
learn wat you have to know rise up to the occasion when the time comes.
if history decides that your geneatioin is the generation to be tested upon, take up the challenge. to lead you shall, to excel you will, to overcome you muz.
the words col. png said on the first day of our meeting at OCS will always stay in my head.i miss my days in OCS, its like a playgrd.
juz yest it seems the end is near when maj mike and maj loh gave an ending to ex. tiger. it seems we are on our own already... the next few mths ahead will be challenging. whether will make it or not is still a question to be answered.
my syndicate had a thrashing out with one another yest... scary to think they do not have the balls to say how genuinely feel bout one another so the scars still lives on... ting guang comment he will nv shakes the hands of 7 bed 1 when he commision.
well thr was uanimous agreement that i'm the hardworkining one... gangho i'm but i feel i'm juz not street smart enough. i'm geeting mentally lazy nowadays when comes to everything. i juz wanna lay back and see wat happens. ha perhaps my mind has decided that army is a recovery period for itself... smart chap. cunning indeed. it or rather i make ppl think i'm guilible... simple minded. but it works sometimes cos thru the process i get to see true side of ppl, and not to mention get ignored too. sometimes ignorance is one many levels better.
today its deepavali, one mth time i will be a 1 yr old soldier... i kind of splurge a lot this few mths... now its time to save up and do some serious work. i am not gonna disappoint myself ever again... those who have or wanna stab me... juz eat shit and die.

# my twisted world
juz 5 more hrs away from booking in..
kinda enjoyed this sun... optimise it like the sunday b4... well did a crazy thing today... went to swim at east coast park....ya man in the sea. why???cos the public pools are flooded with little ants... i din't bring my pass for entry to the country club... so hr i am on east coast park.
woah its really fun swimming against the current... i suddenly feel like the war monger who tom hanks saved in forest gump. to think of it.. i am juz like him man... physically and mentally.... and so its juz how much the legs are worth.. so u ppl out thr muz take care of it yah.
observations:
the water was cold and warm at diff times... sending trinkling sensations down the spine... augast man. and thr wasn't anybody around... thr was a tinney bit of fear that if i suddenly get cramp.. thats it man. or if i get bitten by something or imagine i am drinking water which is poluted my the oil.. dead animals... ppl...
swam at beaches like siloso... bintan... australia... busan... this water definately the dirtiest as of today. can't even see anything except greeny gross stuff in the water... apart from it the weather was top notch... breathing space was great.so i think i kind of move on.. not able to run have left me stagnent for a while... now i suddenly have andrenaline in swimming. so much so that i swam 2 hrs non stop in the sea today... from the sailing club to somewhr round the light house.. close to song's place. well dear... u coming back liao right... miss u too man...hahah funny that i stop thr today cos it is the only break water pt i know was diff from the rest that was when i know i have been swimming too far..as i swam.. it left my mind thinking.
i love the sea,. anything from ab sailing... yatching.... diving... wake boarding. grown up with it...learned how to cycle thr... had all the bbqs thr from family to classmates to friends... met my craziest friends thr... the wonder i will i will nv leave my cosy home in the east... east kids are the best, pretty abc gals stay in the east...ecp is in the east.
lots have happen all this while.... so much obstacles in life... it may be the same in the past.... the only diff is that now... i'm not running away from them.
fear is like little pins and needles which manupilate the mind to think too much of them. then fear becomes a doubt. to leave doubts unvisited is like choosing immobility as a transport.
wat lam told me is true... i have been too good a life b4 army... so of course when i come hr... thr is so much to learn... so much things to catch up on. yup i really think so too.
juz today will be a good ex... jin and dan were kind of irritated that i keep meeting friends along the way... let me count... juz a walk down orchard i stop 11 times...and 10/11 times i didn't se them till they say hi to me... bluuur... jin say its more like i'm a whore... slp around too much ahha.
juz this morn... i saw uncle rob at the beach. this iron man haahha. nice chatting with him.. woah he has a daughter who is sec 3 this yur... keep thinking he doesn't have children... much to my surprise.known him for like 5 yrs... woah a long itme to think of it. use to be intimidated by his build at the gym... tun out to be a nice guy... who keep keeping me informed of the supplements in the past... exercise regime and stuff... today he enlighten me again.. told me hols have start for the sec sch kids .
so morn i had encounters with uncle rob... iron man terry and augastic ivan.
today... i woke up with the day... enjoyed with the sun at noon... reflect with the serenity of the night
life is good after all.
cya man :)
