Really thankful for the peeps and PUNJ.

It's very encouraging to go there every Saturday and see everybody so eager to learn. It's just a lot more interesting as compared to where I've been before.

I was sharing with Don and Yong Guang about how it's very easy to get tempted in the Army, esp. when it comes to having lustful thoughts. There's always a copy of Maxim or FHM lying around in some corner of the office. It sure doesnt help that you see lingerie ads at bus stops, slimming ads on the frickkin MRT and practically every magazine proclaiming that their latest issue is their "SEX ISSUE".

Sex sells and the media constantly bombards us with titillating images. It really is difficult to focus. The best solution Don and Yong Guang suggested is to keep the mind occupied with other things whenever you think such thoughts. It can be something as simple as reading a book, or going out for a round of pool with ya mates, etc. For me I guess it would be hopping on my bike and cycling arnd the neighbourhood, or running or just reading by the pool.

Troubled times.
