Love is an attitude, love is a prayer,
For a soul in sorrow, a heart in despair;
Love is good will for the gain of another,
Love suffers long with the fault of a brother

Christmas isn't christmas till it happens in your heart
It's really annoying as you take a walk outside your house and suddenly thought of a pretty fantastic blog entry that you must write down in your blog, only to come back and sit down infront of your com with your mind all blank!! Grr...this must stop.
Well now, if it isn't christmas time now; well if you find the blog title familiar u can check out the dec2006 entries...I'm somehow emotionally attached to that song.
It's surprising how ridiculously time flies, especially for the year of 2007. Other years seems so much longer, this one just ZOOOmmmm....man it's bye bye '07 hello '08!! and the Olympics!! Yeah right like I'm ever a fan of it.
Probablly because I'm just wanting the days to go by quickly, as that would spell the nearing of my ord. But life isn't THAT bad now...to think I could enjoy a extra long holiday after coming home from thailand on the 18th of dec, all the way to 2jan 08. Hurray.
Sitting here in a cosy room, thinking of something to write, I'm suddenly reminded of what sister Yi-Tinn, or yi tinn jie, said to me while I was still being discipled under her wings. "Where ever you go, be it school or country or anything else, just remember that God put you there for a reason." I was quite puzzled by her words when I first heard them but quickly understood it's meaning and truth after awhile later.
The reason why I ended up in TJ rather then RJ or VJ which was what I wanted to became much more appreciated then before; same goes for why I am in Guards and not ocs or sispec.
If I'd gone to RJ/VJ, I'd never had known friends such as Josh, Nicole, Amanda, Amorn, Victor, Ais, Bballer Chia and my funky class with some funky teachers. heh heh not to mention dawn and amanda+ais' drama ppl. Never would I have experienced such a powerful crush...like literally "crushed"..on a girl who's smile lights up orchard road (seen the lightings yet? they're beautiful aren't they?), although I've already promise myself to give it up for the sake of retaining my sainity and for my own good.
Also, never would I have been this close to God if it weren't for the TJ student venture, where I feel God has place me to lead; it being a stepping stone towards something greater. Well, I hoped I did things well, I did tried, even though my eyes were close for a the 1st year or so...
As for Guards? Well I have a confession to make..while I was in bmt I did prayed and asked God that if I were to be accepted into ocs (officer cadet school), I would wanna be a Guards officer. Yes, I can sense the immense horrors on your face, especially on your face Josh..if u ever start reading my blog again. Oh and another deep dark hidden secret? I prayed that I'll sign on if I get into ocs and manage to commission as an officer. Yes, I hadn't known better, luckily I told myself to only consider after being in a unit, which brought me out from the dark side. Well, with regards to the former point, my prayers where answered in some sort of way; currently for the last exercise I held appointment as vehicle commander for one lightstrike. So yeah praise the Lord he answered my prayers...just that in a different way.
So why? Why not ocs why not sispec? I realise, as a normal insignifican't soldier, that you are the lowest amongst all, which is the same as what Jesus was....a baby in a manger plus a servent to his discipiles, neat huh? A humbling experience no doubt but you learn much...like how to treat others now that you've experienced first hand how's it like to be at the bottom, pray that it'll help in my future endeavours...wait i'm sure it will.
Freak all this army talks all but a chase after the wind...gets really stale and I'm bored. But then again what else could I talk about? Sadly the ass-eh-eff's my life now..at least for 2 years.
So tune in to the next episode of Days of My life, this is
