junxu:relax la!u know u'll do fine for all ur papers!2 more days to go only!gun for it man!and for the fat thing,u know its not true!:D sorry for belated birthday wishes, i called u on the day itself but ur sis told me u were asleep,hope she did relay my best and happiest greetings;)

denise:nah when i tagged, i wasn't yet, just had access to the internet;)all the best for exams:)

This week has been one tough nut.First,lotsa punishments.Second,all privileges stripped away.Thirdly,horror of all horrors,when i thought i could forget all about it,we had to use camo cream for all our outfield exercises.And lastly,I signed one extra for not locking my bunk(how ridiculous can that get) which i will be serving tomorrow unfortunately...Miss church.

Things i can actually learn from it are actually plentiful.Like how to react in adverse times.How to see God's grace and master plan from everything.How my character is actually like in tough and testing situations.So praise God still!:)

1 last tough week.Outfield back to Tekong.Keep me in prayer:)

Exams people!Prelims over but doesn't mean its all over!(Exam names are PRElims anyway,so real thing still to come!:D)Take the weekend off and chill but once Monday comes again, back to work again folks:)


I peer into your eyes
I look into your soul
Your most inner being
Your all

That wide smile
That silly grin
Sashaying and dancing
Beauty defined

Well i really do miss the drums.Hope i get to play sometime soon.Well see ya guys in prolly a week's time:) For those having exams,its gonna be over real soon:) Just look to God in everything ya guys do:) (junxu,like caleb says,go exercise abit:D)

Something that someone wrote i thought was very meaningful.Its a real truth of life,yet written in a very sweet way,well,almost poetic i guess;)

"the world is like a stage.everyone of you have a role.it doesn't matter whether you are the main actor or the main actoress or the person who sweeps the floor at the corner in the play.what matters is the way you act,the way you show ur talent,the effort you put to make ur role the best.life is like that.dun care about whether ya in the in crowd or not,what ca wearing,what other ppl think of. but think of how well you do in life. did you do the best you could?or just the worst u could? was it the right choice?or was it just cau ya fren did it?hmmm"

I must say that however the spelling's quite bad:D but to maintain the integrity of the original script,no changes have been made.Made alot of sense to me the words.At the end of the day,its just so important to behave as you are,cos if u try to be someone else,you'll wind up being the one feeling miserable.Yea u may give people the wrong impression of your ownself as well.So yep.

Saturday yippee!So fun!Hope it lasts;) (sorry exams people:D)

God bless!

Princess:Tell you what?
QZ:YAY!BRO!U TAGGED!HAHA!Hope ur dinner with SC goes well.Ya i slack what...my o lvls messed up...grrrrr
Kiong:Haha cheer up man!I'm sure u did well for ur other papers!:)
Sis:Yea MAF haha...Enjoy ur HC times la...

It is exactly 28 days 3 hours and 41 minutes till I pass out of basic.Its been good,its been bad.But mostly good:)Thank God for that!:) Another week without getting into much trouble:D
Survived Exercise Moonknight.Maybe it wasn't that tough.Some practical navigations test at Ulu Sembawang.There was much hype and expectation throughout la, since we were practically left on our own in a hilly terrain and a huge area.I think it was in a 8km by 8km square.So it was actually quite challenging.And tiring.My group ran all the way.Maybe i can pass SOC now;)We came in 6th out of 16 details,so i guess it was all fun.Best thing was no instructors around to bug us:D

Brenda was telling me the other day(last week i think) on how stressful it was to play for JYM especially when the other musicians she plays with are so familiar with what they do and stuff.I guess thats true.It happens to me when i play for like Youth Focus(soooooo long ago my last one!miss those times:) )and i just seem like i'm the one messing up all the time.But I guess what actually matters is the attitude that we bring to practice and our intention for playing in the first place.If we come with an open mind and people criticize us,its all good i guess.Intention for playing is especially important i feel.If all we want to do is impress the congregation,then thats not really right,so obviously when we do wrong, we feel really really bad.However if our motives are purely to worship God and utilise the special gifts and talents that He has bestowed upon us,then i'm sure we won't mind,cuz in the end,only God matters:)

Something meaningful i read during my QT over the week:That prayer is not to tell God how difficult our situation is and asking him to change the circumstances in our lives.Rather,prayer helps to align our lives to GOD'S WILL so that our lives can be changed and we will rely on God's strength rather than our own to solve the problem.And through this,God's name will be glorified!:)

God bless.
Had been looking forward to this weekend the entire week:)

Princess:Oh yea i have the song on my comp;)
Denise:For me to know:)
Chua:HAHA!SEE YOU IN CAMP!:D

One of the biggest events in HwaChong is the mid-autumn festival or MAF for short.Well I've attended the ones for the past 2 years.To me,seriously,the event itself is nothing spectacular.Not much flair nor fun.The concert's boring,the eating competition is fairly humorous,but other than that,ZzZzZZ.However,this year i really did want to go.Haven't seen my classmates in AEONS!Which actually had me thinking.Maybe its the people and the company your in that actually makes things special.Occasions and parties might be fun but without the right people to share your joy with,its nothing short of pointless.Cuz at the end of the day,you really dun achieve anything...Yea...Unfortunately i couldn't go.(But my sis said it wasn't that fun either:D)

Which brings me to why i couldn't go.GPMG(general purpose machine gun??) live firing.My firing lasted barely 30 seconds.Makes me wonder why we wasted half a day for preparation...Haha...45 rounds gone in just 3 short bursts la...What made me really laugh was my superior comparing M16 to the GPMG.

1SG SOH:The firepower of the GPMG compared to the M16 is like comparing the impact the Titanic made with the iceberg with you stamping on the floor.

Obviously exaggerated.Firing was a good and a once in a lifetime experience.So guess its something to remember.

Caleb you've really changed!:)Really blessed and encouraged by ya.Especially today:)Praise God for all He's done in your life brother!:D

For those having prelims tomorrow(David,Junxu,Claudia etc etc),continue to work hard and study hard!The end point is near;)Also dun compromise God's time ya...Crucial point to note:Prelims ain't the end...DO NOT slacken off after that or you'll regret it like i did...Ha.

Another week begins.Rejoice!

God bless!

Love.

Cheryl:Hey!How's everythin been going?!:)
Princess:...
Caleb:No la...i tot it was like crap... no significant contribution anyway.sob sob.
Kristen:Your exams start so soon?
Ivan:Want me to try?:D

One thing that really pains me is the fact that Christians stumble non-Christians.I saw someone in camp saying he was a Christian,but his behaviour is soooooo not.I'm not judging him or what,but really,everyone else hates his behaviour.Its just not right.Cuz God changes lives,obviously in a positive manner.So yea...

Missing church this week.Maybe i could make it for JYM though.Depends on how fast our live firing goes.Just hope everything's finishes quickly...Back to the live firing though,I'm just amazed at how God saw me through my technical handling.They started teaching us the stuff only this week and test was today.Yet i could make most of the timings and doing the correct procedures.Wonderful eh!:D Another item for thanksgiving was my IPPT results.Though not like outstanding or what,but it was quite good.Silver la.But my run was good for me.10.15minutes.I cut like 1.10minutes from my last run.Thank God:)

Tomorrow's payday!Lalala...

Claudia:I'm not sure of the exact singer...I just know its the opening song for Shrek...When like the movie shows the storybook opening...:D
Kristen:Spotting questions...Could be abit risky but it works:)Have fun studying:D
Cheryl:Hey nice seein ya around!Haven seen ya in church for quite abit eh!
Denise:Its a gone case...Unfortunately lol.SAD:(
Princess:Erm...ok...Cheer up la!

42 days more to go.Lets have a recap of the week.Firstly my computer got infected by some virus which disabled my anti-virus and made a mess of my com.So i had to reformat it.Secondly,in camp,my phone got stolen.The lousy mess of a 3120(??) i had.(just a note,if u do call me,pls dun mind me if i ask who u are cuz...If u message me,please include your rank,name and I/C number:D)Thirdly i had a slight fever while in camp(and on course).Thank God though.

Someone told me (in response to me telling the person about my computer) that maybe God wanted me to stop using the computer so much and instead spend more time with Him.Really shook me up abit.Made me actually consider and think how much time i did spend in front of the darn screen.My flu also made me realize that RYAN really cares for me!!!:D On a more serious note,just really wanna thank God for such a wonderful brother.He's always been an inspiration,encouragement and role model for me in every aspect of life.No matter his attitude to EVERYONE and EVERYTHING as well as his love for God.Really been soooo blessed by this brother of mine:)

God is so good.

Soccer was superb.My play was lousy i guess.But i was quite pleased to see Kester,Lawrence and Darren really enjoying themselves and playing in a competitive spirit despite their obvious size difference.Really cool.6 - 3 was a decent score as well.Haha.Fun fun.Have been missing these kinda stuff.Haven't done soooooooo much with funkk the past year.Holidays.We'll ALL do stuff k!:D
