pizza boy
there was a man used to work part-time in a pizza restaurant. he made friends with a pizza delivery boy. that boy had something special in him that always left him with lifted spirits. even though the pizza boy left the job shortly after, he never forgot the personality of that one person. so the man decided to name his son after that pizza boy.
as a result, my name is duane.

beautiful oblivion
i dont know what new nice songs are out there. dont know the real reason behind the raging war in the middle east. dont know what's the latest macdonald's offers. haha.. i'm pretty out of touch there.
i dont like the feeling of having things fly past me like that. i pray every night to God that he would somehow give me a chance someday to catch up with all the things i've missed and passed.
and does anyone have any advice, ideas or opinions on unit trusts and investments? please let me know about it. because i've quite a sizeable lump sum of money i've saved over the years and been keeping it in a fixed deposit. i intend to work on a good debt and sound investment. haha.. my parents wouldnt help me because they want me to learn it myself. (they forgot i'm still in the army..)

its not that i'm not into blogging anymore.
its just that there's this thing called the OFFICIAL SECRETS ACT. you see.. i cannot reveal anything that goes on in my army life. cant post pics. cant say this cant say that. and having nearly 92.9% of my life going in camp.. well.. guess the only thing i can share about is the huge bruised bump on my knee - even that i might have to share with caution. not that i have much rights as an officer cadet myself anyway.
and they even say that the one-star general up there surfs the net to check up on pple's blogs. pft. what a joke. who on earth would believe that?! (ok.. if you really happen to chance upon this.. i'm sorry)
right now. i want to give advices.
if you are able to lie on your very own bed and just lie still there for a minute and keep in a daze. cherish it.
if you are able to enjoy your food without worrying about meeting some time limit. cherish it.
if you are able to wake up to your body clock and not to some lousy alarm clock. cherish it.
if you get a chance to sit down and take your time to let the beautiful scenery sink into you. take a while more.
if you can hook up to your favourite tunes whenever you want. please cherish it.
if you can smile without the feeling of apprehension clouding up behind your mind. cherish it.
i dont think many people will get what i'm saying. but it is not until recently that i have really started to learn to cherish little things like these. sometimes you do too many big things that you start to miss the smaller things in life. before you know it.. you lose the chance to cherish them.
haha.. and it seems that i'm sounding depressed over my army life. haha. dont get the wrong idea. i'm not. my family and friends went through blood and sweat for me. i'm more than willing to do my part to protect them. in fact, i'm rather proud of it.
