who is the jabberwocky?

Last week I watched Alice in Wonderland directed by Tim Burton. Yes if you saw a male with broad shoulders and unshaved beard lurking around the cinema entrance somewhere in Ipoh, waiting for the 'entry call'  that's probably me. I'm not an expert in this field but the film perpetually moved my thought toward unparalel motion. I mean the film really snatches the 'cliche' of the original version. It defies conventions and encourages the audience to discard traditions. The provocation is generated brilliantly through funny dialogues. The cunning characters undeniably have done their jobs well. Apart from pumping iron, I also read a lot of these stuffs when I was doing my degree and eventually the reading has taken its toll (in positive manner) because it gives me the insight of today's world. Future scenarios are the results of past events and in Aesop's fables, humans nature had been studied and showcased in the immortal stories, using animals to camaflouge potential messages. Read Animal Farm by George Orwel to know about basic politicking skills and graduate further up by tuning to any Tv stations which show prime time buletin. You'll see the connection and perhaps you will not be in 'wonderland' ever again.

Fire Power

At the shooting range, I learnt one thing which is very important...Never play around with guns or get distracted. In one occasion, we were doing an important procudere that came at the last stage in the shooting practice. It was to clear the bullet compartment of the M16 rifle from a bullet or bullets that might still remain 'unseen' in the chamber. Everybody had to stand up with the right hand holding the rifle's pistol grip. After making sure the compartment had been secured, we had to 'slap' the breach block button and automatically the sliding mechanism lurched forward. Then a loud 'bang' echoed. One rifle was still loaded and the cadet behind me accidentally pulled the trigger... He was standing right behind me. The bullet whizzed over my head and went straight up. I turned my head and saw the cadet who was still astonished with his mouth agape. The Instructors were looking at each other and believe me, their faces were as white as a surprised ghost. I thought the cadet must have miscalculated the amount of bullets contained in the magazine. So after finishing his 19th-bullet, he assumed there was no bullet left...leaving behind a 5.56 mm in the bullet compartment. It is a classic example of one small failure which leads to a bigger catastrophy. A wake up call that resonates eternal pulse in me...the pulse that reverberates continuously which carry one crucial message...You do not know when your time is up.

Don't be confused

Don't be confused by their colourful appearances.
Well they like to show the opposite of themselves. I pitty these individuals a lot as they are allegedly trapped inside the wrong 'compartment' as alleged by their own kind. I bumped into them quite a lot and this showed that their population has steadily increased. Why opt to be a male when you have small non muscular body frame, I mean, look at yourself in front of the mirror. If you want to be one, make sure you don't just wear a T-shirt which has uniformed stripes and a pair of bermuda shorts. It is too cliche. Change your physical 'setting.' Build enough muscles. Men don't wear shoulder pads. Make sure at the end of the training session (if you can afford one) your body resembles V -shape starting from the waist up. If you still have pear-shaped figure or hour glass figure, forget about dreaming to become like one. A real man doesn't have to stock himself with eternal carbo supply around his waist. By the way, eat a lot of testosterone enhancer pills and discard the estrrogen and progesteron hormone if you can, or can you? Am I confusing myself?

Which path should you follow?

There are a lot of useless buzzing when I started this venture but for me there is no use of trying to replace Nostradamus. Prophecy still haunts the community. They merely make prediction and prophecise as though everything is in their hands. Of course like the Mayan calendar, only the negatives and distortions come out. Nostradamus' predictions were being stretched like play doh to fit current events. They did not have similarities but words and phrases were added to coincidentally connect the unrelated paths of different labyrinths. But still, his prophecies are regarded as flawless although majority of us know the truth. This is the modus operandi of the skewed ones. So it is understood why the community behaved in such a way. For them truth can only be verified  if they can agree with the facts presented. A's or B's opinion is considered secondary. So ask yourself this question; Which path should you follow?

Steady hand

I don't like to bring along the cumbersome tripod as it  limits my movement and at the same time I don't have to worry about the safety of that RM300 plus handycam stabilizer. The function of the tripod has been replaced by two sets of priceless organic arms which are directly attached to my shoulders(my hands). It is an effective method of using your hands as tripod replacement, just make sure both of the reliable appendages are really steady and of course years of training in the Army Reserve Unit has resulted in significant increase of upper body strength. The shooting practice develops steady grip as I have to be calm before pulling the trigger once the pin-point accuracy has been acquired through the cross-hair. Breathing and heartbeat have to be in sync because a slight vibration could distort the end result although the target has been securely locked.
Live 5.56mm bullets are enough to clear any distractions out of your head since your platoon mates are close by. Careless mistakes are potentially fatal in nature. When shooting video, mistakes can be rectified on the spot, at the shooting range; it is either a bullet straying off its intended path  or exit wound injuries. It is obvious that shooting videos are far less risky.
So the training I've received so far is after all very useful even though both are worlds apart, the essence is still the same.
