okay it all begins in about 6-7 hrs time. met my shep like a few hours ago and well okay i guess perhaps the next 9 months is really gonna be tough, esp having to balance ministry and family. oh well God grant me wisdom and Your presence. take me through it with a focus and vision. yeah and all the best to all your new vocations and wadeva, those sea soldiers i pray u all meet some mermaid and get slapped in the face by it's tail. those in guards u have my deepest empathy. recce troops okay lah have fun. and all my fellow engineers haha carry your stuff well.

tell me you won't give up.

listenin to - the brilliant dance by dashboard confessional.

hello. yeah in case you're wondering where i got posted to, well i got posted to OCS(army). okay yeah well not really what i was expecting since i explicitly told my commanders i dont wanna end up there. said yes to command sch though, which proved to be a wiser choice as those in my bunk who didnt say yes either ended up in guards or recce troopers. okay now anyway this means i would have my three weeks confinement starting this coming monday. seriously aint looking forward to all that training and stuff i've been hearing about, but oh well. and they say how at the end of the three weeks when u finally book out you see everything and everyone in a different light. ay oh pls, if its gotta be any other prospective im gonna be seeing things in i want it to be through God's eyes.

anyway oh yeah i forgot to mention i finally got my new mp3. ipod 80GB classic. awesome i can finally not have to choose which songs to take out with me. and my new computer just came in yesterday too, but well only have like a few more hours to savour it.

and oh well. so see you like in 3 weeks time if im still alive.

cause maybe sometimes all we need is a little reminder, and perhaps all i needed was a little encouragement.

now things arent that bad, i think i see where im heading.

yeah yeah im finally posting. haha well i pop-ed (passing out parade not POP) last tuesday, yeah bringing the entire bmt phase to an end. people say you would miss the bmt life the most haha well i guess i can see why. when i saw all the parents coming into the grand stand to get ready for our parade, a part of me was dying to leave with them outta that island but yet another half was kinda wanting to stay. haha yeah i guess when u spend 9 weeks of joy and well most of the times, agony and torture together you really start to form this erm, camaraderie if you may.

recruits night went well, i guess in terms of people having fun. yeah we rather nervous before our item. haha i remember samuel and i trying desperately to memorise the lyrics of those 3 songs, okay yeah fine i forgot parts of them subsequently but wadeva.

the last few nights were truly, memorable lol. whole load of fun when we really had a war against our commanders and subsequently, the adjacent company. never forget how one of the commanders crept in while everyone's asleep to smear peanut butter (yes those u spread on toast) on my friend's ass, and then camou cream over his body and wrote "army" with a black marker on his back. haha hilarious moments. how leonard(our muaythai champ and resident bodyguard) pinned down the commander and we blasted him with prickley heat powder lol. then the last official night it was really like some war cum prison riot, people were armed with wadever liquid or molten substance(of which included sweet corn, detergent, etc.) they could get, storming bunks and chasing one another. my section sorta became a 'city of refuge' for our platoon thanks to our highly fortified and reinforced defence structure(which apparently came crumbling down with a push). haha oh well, pure fun.

ay well if you ask me if i miss bmt life? yeah definitely, miss the entire orion culture of being all so regimental and yet tough in a fun way. well maybe not so much of the former i suppose. okay just waiting to see our postings before we head back into wherever we are posted to on monday.

listenin to - this ain't a scene, it's an arms race by fall out boy
