Tale as it was Told

"I will set down a tale as it was told to me by one who had it from his father, who had it from HIS father, who had it from HIS father - and so on, back and still back, three hundred years and more. It may be history, it may be only a legend. It may have happened, it may not have happened: but it COULD have happened."

Quote by Mark Twain, American Author, 1835 - 1910

United States Independence Day

Today it is United States Independence Day. Let us not forget 911, 11 September 2001.

Meaning of NCC Day

NCC day coincides with SAF day on 1st July 2010. It marks the 42nd year since the inception of the Singapore Armed Forces. It is a day for members of the armed forces to reaffirm their pledge of loyalty and dedication to the SAF as well as the nation.

In a recent book on “How to build a nation”, a conversation with MM Lee Kuan Yew. I quoted, in page 50, “the British Empire was supposed to last another 1,000 years in Southeast Asian, but collapsed when the Japanese army came in 1942”. Mao Zedong, chairman of the communist party of China, once said, “Power came from the barrel of the gun.” The Japanese demonstrated this; the British did not.

It underlies the importance of having a strong army.

Is there a need for the comfort of the soul?

Exchange between Dr Goh Keng Swee and the reporter in an interview in 1984.

Reporter: Is there a need (for souls)?

Dr Goh Keng Swee: Yes yes, there is a need, but you must never ask the government to provide the need for the soul.

Reporter: How does the soul come out?

Dr Goh Keng Swee: When their tummy is full, then certain people will think more than material goods.

Reporter: Right now. Is it happening now?

Dr Goh Keng Swee: When they go to arts, music some will go to philosophy. Whatever, I don’t think here you want the government to provide (the you know) for the comfort of the soul. This is very dangerous, after sometime, (the government) we will tell you what to think.

What it means to serve Singapore

"To the new guards soon joining us, may I say this, welcome to you, some of you will discover before long, that you have joined a holy order, that expects total commitment from you, that will be your moment of truth. You will then regard the present condition of the republic, not as a pinnacle of achievement, but as a base of which to scale new height."

Quote from Dr Goh Keng Swee, Former DPM, 1918 - 2010, when he retired from politics in 1984

"To be self-determined is to endorse one's actions at the highest level of reflection.

When self-determined, people experience a sense of freedom to do what is interesting, personally important, and vitalizing."

RC Plane Maiden Flight at CCSS

Paper Airplane Guinness Record by Takuo Toda

Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwaS7gkgaKM

A Japanese engineer has set a new record for the longest flight with a paper-only plane. Using a specially designed 10cm long paper plane, Takuo Toda's origami flight in a Japan Airlines hangar near Tokyo's Haneda Airport lasted 26.1s. While just short of the world record 27.9 seconds, it was a new record for a paper-only plane -- the world record (also held by Toda) was set by one with tape on it.Toda - head of the Japan Origami Airplane Association - said he was pleased with the record but hopes to achieve a 30 second flight soon.
