Respect vs. Ego

Sometimes it is very easy to Let our own ego overcome our conscious seLf, or rather character. This thing caLLed "ego" is extremeLy dangerous when not managed properLy. It can be Like a voLcano, once erupt, the damage wiLL be done and many things may never be the same again.

To me it is not a big probLem. Of course I have my own moments of madness when I become enraged with things I beLieve is not right, but when the storm is over, I have my own AAR (after-action review) and then correct what shouLd be done.

For different peopLe, aLL things can be seen in more dimensions than one. In many cases, there is no right or wrong answer. Those are based on personaL perception. But sometimes, we need to Listen to the opinions of different peopLe to gauge whether our own perception is of enough factuaL accuracy to exist.

Then we come back to Letting Loose our own ego to accept something different, but it can be difficuLt depending on how egoistic one is.

I guess, after observing cLoseLy the behavior of many peopLe, I can concLude that ego and respect have an adverse reLationship.

The main reason for my post is in hope that more peopLe can be aware that ego has to be contained and respect goes a Long way to buiLding up good reLationships with aLL LeveLs of peopLe.

The Radio

There is no doubt that wherever you are, on the move, other than your mp3s that are upLoaded onto whatever media device you are using, Listening to a radio station is the onLy other aLternative you wiLL turn to for some entertainment for the ears.

I haven got many chances to tune in to the radio because of the army, but on rare weekday mornings Like this, I do.

On CLass 95, you have the FLying Dutchman and GLen Ong on the Morning Express and damn are they good entertainers.

There is this particuLar story (as toLd by GLen Ong), about a woman who got hit by a private pLane which crashed into her house in America. A reporter then went to interview the woman who is recovering from the inuries sustained. The reporter asked her how she feLt. And this woman said "It feLt Like I got hit by a pLane."

It was aLso astonishing to hear from this program that due to the stringent checks at the Causeway between Johor and Singapore, there are reportedLy more peopLe getting caught for smuggLing iLLegaL stuff Like imported cigarettes and even Chihuahua! The man who smuggLed the Chihuahua got fined a whopping SGD10000 for watever's sake.

So you see, I mean hear, the many interesting things these two men over the radio can entertain you with?

Why I am somehow seLLing the radio station is because of a separate incident that happened to me. With my music pLayer on, I was waLking somewhere aLong Bukit Timah Road and then came the nature's caLL (BIG one). I thought the caLL couLd be "postponed" tiL about an hour Later but was not to be. In the next few minutes it became an emergency. Furthermore it was drizzLing and I couLd not run or it wiLL make the whoLe thing much worst. So I waLked on, Listened to this radio station and it reLaxed my body to prevent the worst from happening. Then, in a distance I saw a petroL station. Taking my stride I waLked on and went to finish the unfinished business.

Thanks to CLass 95, they saved my ass.

Soup Spoon

I am a Lover of soup, and any meaL that tops with it makes perfect.

Mom, on an extremeLy rare occassion for nut reason, prepared dinner before heading to work. The soup was simpLy fantastic, so much so I finished the pot dry. No kidding.

MeaL or not, she is the best, Like anyone eLse's own.
