You all like using SAF towel so much ah?! The only time i used SAF towel was in army/ICT. Lol.

actually it's not the SAF towel that i like most. You see, i also like money... 

if i can save something i like, by continuing to use something else that lasts, then i practise NIKE (just do it!)

apart from towel, the SAF black socks also super lasting...

you just reminded me... which started me thinking too...

my son just enlisted in Apr... and here i am talking about what i went through those decades ago... 🤣

and my son's boots... wore 2 months pulled a bit harder, apparently the zip came out liao... 🤦‍♂️
unlike the towel manufacturer, i think this boot manufacturer sure won't bankrupt...

Last year, i went for 12 day walk from Portugal to Spain. Everyday, i was wearing SAF Airforce Tees cos it is light and easy to dry. One fine day, an Ang Mo Bu came up to me and chatted with me cos she recognize me from the Airforce Tee i has been wearing. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
