today's message is brought to you by a tricksy hobbit.

the saf military medicine institute presents :

bounce back after breakup : 5 great ways to conquer crisis

1. it will hurt but not forever

forget what the songs tell you. especially that one where the girlfriend is cheating on the guy and he says he'd rather not know about it. it's a bad song, anyway. what're you doing listening to that kind of music anyway? didn't your mother raise you right?

2. there are others out there!!

but they are not interested in you.

3. don't stand on a 3 legged stool

building your life around one or two aspects will lead to instability when crisis strikes. throw away those boyzone albums. tear away your ronan keating posters. and for the love of all things good in this world, stop watching porn all day.

4. it's not the end of the world

talk to someone who has been through it. when no one is available, call the saf hotline and ask for benjamin ng. he always has the time for you.

5. i'm stronger than that

drinking and smoking are not good ways to cope. neither is driving dangerously. also, do not attempt any of the following : running with scissors, skydiving, kayaking, chatting up another girl or dancing under the influence of alcohol. always be optimistic. we too, at saf mmi believe in you. remember, the most important thing is to get support from your family and friends, if you have any.
