okay i guess its like ard 10 hrs later, 10 hrs to my alcatraz. okay still in the midst of packing but i must say im gonna miss home alot. miss my com, miss my bed, miss my guitars, miss my pool, and of course my family.

i would be confined till 25 april, phone would still work as long as the ONE FULL BATT doesnt betray me. the beginning of my ns ministry, how fun. okay and if u guys are wishing u did see pictures of me bald here after i get released from the dungeon, FAT CHANCE KID.

haha yeah just get lost lol.

"Christianity carries a praying christian;
a christian that doesnt pray carries his christianity."

i hate this phase(not phrase), the phase of awaiting something impending, something so significant. oh well. rushed lots of last minute stuff like getting army stuff and army phone and army specs and army blah blah blah.

jontay said army is a time where a Christian makes or breaks, given pressing moral contradictions, and its how in tough situations calls for a true Christian to bend and not break(just reminds you of the song doesnt it), and then makes a stubborn resilient recovery for something beyond. haha okay fine he didnt say it like that but the idea's there. i like that actually. on the fact that my faith would really be tested like every christian would in a worldly environment. this way i can really see what my faith is made of and on.

count it down count it down. measure these minutes by a clock's that blinking eights.

okay i think i should thank all so nice and willing cher cheryl for doing the blogskin(eh i was kind enough not to write the whole thing). adapted to dashboard's 'several ways to die trying', which happens to be a really nice melodious literature song if u havent heard alr. yeah much simple now see, simplicity is cool.

yeah went for my first tertiary service with the ns guys and subsequently for ns vision night which ended at around 11pm. to be honest im rather impressed by the extent to which the ns guys take ownership of this group that they are in/leading, and the fervour and conviction behind the pledges to make the ns ministry one that moulds every young man who been through it into a biblical and powerful man of Christ. i guess it brushed aside any apathetical resignation i might perhaps have harboured in the transfer. i really wanna see how i turn out out of these whole two years in the ns ministry. God, craft and mould me into Your intend, let Your will be done in my life.

proceeded to matthias's place for a stay over with gideon who apparently had 'divine and serious stuff to discuss about' before we enter our alcatraz. ended up wrestling on matthias's(gosh it so spells mattress) bed and sleeping there after an hour of winning eleven.

oh first ns cg was at istana park. haha and jiehui made us write our letters that we were gonna receive back on 'graduation day' of the ns ministry, asking us to mark and in the process, think about what we want to achieve in these two years. oh the promise, the pain, the valor, the rage. hold my hands up for the bow and the wave.

and boy did i feel like a star today. after going to my paternal's granddad's and grandmom's grave, followed by the maternal great-grandmom's, we all went to my aunt's place to have the farewell dinner for their beloved nephew who would in perhaps a little over 60 hrs would be martyred into two years of.. fun(i sincerely hope)! yeah okay real nice of them to pray for me and all. yup thanks in advance for all the prayers that u family are gonna keep me in, deeply appreciate it!

oh then my uncle showed me a copy of the first ever chinese bible to be published in the world. it looked totally like those ancient china scholar books. pity i didnt get a picture down i was too busy staring at it in awe. then my uncle pointed to this museum piece on the wall, a rather morbid and dark piece showing an old man/woman sitting down with eyes of despair, being buried my the shadows of a figure much taller and built. he told me to tell a story about the picture in about 2 mins. haha well i was... stumped.

and with this new blogskin i can finally upload pics so u wont just hear senseless babble.

here i shall show u my awesome cousin who sang "it ends tonight" by AAR right into my ear. haha awesome right i bet u couldnt do that at her age!

oh sweet serenity; well okay not really.


well okay, this is just so that my sis won't get jealous.


see you maybe one more time before wed. if not, the curtain calls and the big parade. so long peeps.
