Firstly, i wanna say that Eagle Eye is such a good movie!!
So much action and the plot's not bad too!! :)
We were sposed to go night safari but in the end, we ended up eating at mushroom pot near leisure park, before catching a 10pm show. Mum and Dad were so tired by the time we finally got home! haha.

Work was better today! Someone took over my duty so i could have lunch cos my training ended late. Tmr's a holiday! And there SQN bowling on thurs. SLACK! :) And although i got fined today.. nvm.

Filled up my application forms for queensland and murdoch! David said, effectively, next year will be your final year here liao..... I think i'll cry. hahaha. :)

Back to battle tomorrow.

A few of the youth came over to play tennis the other day, and it was Leon's birthday! :)

I wonder if i'll be there this year..

If I am, it means my leave for Auzzie did not get approved.

We just performed our best at SYF '05

Unofficially, VS was the top choir that year. :)

Just felt like putting in some random photos :)

Isiah 40: 30

Even youth grow weary, and young men stumble and fall. But those who hope in the Lord, he will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Some comforting words from the bible last night.. Really quite trying.


I finished work early today. I decided i'd walk out.. So i grabbed my bag and started walking. And on the way, some guy driving past gave me a lift out. Thank God :)



Hide me now under your wings.
Cover me within your mighty hands

When the oceans rise and thunders roar,
I will soar with you above the storm.
Father you are king over the storm
and i will be still, know you are God.

Find rest, my soul,
In christ alone.
Know his power,
In quietness and trust.

When the oceans rise and thunders roar,
I will soar with you above the storm.
Father you are king over the storm
and i will be still, know you are God.

Today was another trying day.

Someone broke my cup!!! :(
I've been using that cup since i was in primary school la.. should have thought better than to bring it to squadron. Well he said sorry and offered to pay.. but how could he..
Reminds me of the cup's brother.. cos mum bought both of them at the same time, one for benny, one for me. And i broke his a long long time back while trying to splash water on Ben for fun.. I swung and the cup smashed into the staircase railing.. :p Now my cup has departed this earth to re-join his brother. ah ha.


But...
A pilot dropped by today. I had a chat with him as I helped him bring down stuff to his car.. he's from VJ apparently. I was so happy talking to him! He just started talking so cheerfully! Really brightened up my day! :) Up points to my impression of pilots.


Yet throughout all these..

I'll still choose to listen to the voice of truth.
I choose to presevere.
I choose to praise God in the storm.


I was soooo happy to see Alfred and Joey in the bus on the way home today! Haha. I started ranting immediately :P

I did a terrible thing...


I had to kick a frog off the road.. and it didn't want to budge. I had to kick it like more than 20 times cos i didn't want to kick it too hard and make it really fly off from the center to the edge. It kept flipping and rolling but just refused to move off on it's own. I felt really mean.. like a big bully kicking this helpless creature. I don't know what it was about that pathetic sight of the frog being kicked around that made me want to blog about it. But no choice! I had to!

Amazing what you can do when your goal is to love though,
Even monsters don't seem so scary anymore. :)

God hasn't spoken to me that directly in such a long time.
After last night's chat. This morning's sermon came at a PERFECT timing. Right in the mids of the storm, God called out to me.

I realised that what i'm going through really isn't a tad as bad as what daniel went through in Babylon. The guys there were out to KILL him.

Jeremiah 29 : 7-14

7.But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. 8.For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel : Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream, 9 for it is a lie that they are proophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, says the Lord.

10. For thus says the Lord: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, i will visit you, and i will fulfil to you my promise and bring you back to this place. 11. For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and i will hear you. 13. You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, 14. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back to the place from whilch I sent you into exile.



Dear God, I'm going to wait these two years for you to bring me home. But during my time here, in my own Babylon, I pray that you'll make me a daniel in this foreign land. Help me to Love as you have Loved.



1 Chorintians 13: 1-7

1. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2. And if i have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3. If I give away all I have, and f I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

4. Love is PATIENT and KIND; Love is NOT JEALOUS or BOASTFUL; 5. It is NOT ARROGANT or RUDE. Love DOES NOT INSIST ON ITS OWN WAY; it is NOT IRRITABLE or RESENTFUL; 6. It DOES NOT REJOICE AT WRONG, but REJOICES IN RIGHTEOUSNESS. 7. Love BEARS all things, BELIEVES all things, HOPES all things, ENDURES all things.

Dear God. Thank you for teaching me how to love specifically. Help me to practice this in my Babylon until you call me home again.

Wah! I'm totally roasted now. Had inter squadron beach volleyball tournament at siloso beach. I didn't participate though, just played causal volleyball and frisbee. OC brought her kids, they're so innocent and spontaneous in making friends. A skill i have long forgotten. Han Jie's dog wiped the sand off his toungue on my pants. How convenient. But that old grandpa golden retriever was good company. :)

Mum's birthday just over. She's 45 now! We didn't have much of a celebration due to work commitments. Well at least dad still took her out for lunch.

I just realised that the noun for being busy is Business. I feel so enlightened!

Elise's cat, kookie. The black and white one. Not the brown one in jeans... That's me.

Sunburned. 痛い！！:(

Enough complaining.
I want to live a positive and hopeful life from now on. :)

Yesterday was a lil better.

Just love them like Jesus. I'm really trying. It's tough.
Really, the greatest lesson I believe I can learn from these two years will be humility. Carol hit the nail on the head way before i even enlisted.

Then again, I'm not sure it's this kind of humility I ought to learn.
No, a more correct virtue to be learnt has to be meekness. Not speaking up for your rights. I'll be an expert by the time I get out of here.

I really hope i can go australia this year end.

A few nights ago, i had a dream that i went to heaven. It was odd. Mysterious. The streets were lined with i dunno, trees? It was more like a hedge rather, a really tall hedge, bout 3m maybe? It stretched the entire length of the wide road i was walking on. There were breaks in between the hedges and men in long white robes stood guard at these "entrances" There were other shadowy figures moving around behind. The sky was a strange mix of colours.. i remember green, most significantly.. but i think there was yellow, orange and purple. It isn't the usual sky kinda colour, more like those windows media player visualisations.. quite dizzying. Then there was this man. Quite stocky figure. He was singing with his hands stretched wide open and raised upwards. His voice was really powerful and full of emotion. But one thing i felt, lost and unfamiliar. That was all.


Mum's collegue just died in his sleep a few hours ago. Shocking. She doesn't know what to say to the students tmr. Apparently he was in the pink of health. His fiancee couldn't wake him from his sleep and she brought him to the hospital. Tragic. How precious life is. I'd be distraught if someone close to me just left without a word. Just like that. Without warning. Unanticipated.



David challenged me to song lead. Honestly, i dun feel "called" right now. I hardly even do my own QT. Now's probably not a good time.. but then again. When will it ever be if not now. I feel so.. lost.

Just came back from Elise's birthday/farewell party. Happy Birthday Elise! Enjoy your last few days in Singapore TTM!! All the best at Imperial! Hope to see lotsa photos of you wearing that cool beanie and scarf!! Muahaha.

Went to The Cavern before that. It's a pub at Boat Quay! Airforce Squadron gathering to watch liverpool vs Man U. Tia Maria is a nice drink! I'll order that next time, if there ever is. Only took one sip from randall. Mine was Chocolate Martini! Wohoo. And since it was a squadron thing, they're all sponsored. :D Encik yeo koh paid for my spring chicken. haha. Thanks! :)

I can feel mum's reluctance to letting me go drink alcohol. At the same time i know she's trying not to control me too much anymore. She didn't say much, only gave me that look when i told her I needed to train up for social drinking. I quoted grandpa, "why you so lousy! turn red so fast!"


Ah well, but i doubt i'll be one to drink till i can't walk. not to worry :)
But who knows.. only time will tell.

"You will slowly start to feel the pressure.." Says my warrant officer in charge, "i'm not trying to scare you, i'm just stating facts."

"..." I reply.

Ah. Today was a good day, half the day gone doing ippt in the morning. I was so smelly in the car back to base that they dropped me off at home to bathe. Serendipity. I realise i love variety. Sitting in the same place for too long kills me. On the other hand, picking up dead frogs on the runway... hmm, and that's exactly what i did today. It was dried, and flat, black like a twig. I picked it up with my bare hands!! All the legs were together at one end and the eyes were like black diamonds. :P


Shihui, i'm so gonna miss you when/if i go to auzzie land to study.

I ought to start commiting my life to God i think.
All this worry about which course to take in which Uni is driving me crazy..

Dad was telling me i can actually be a vet that flies around in a plane to save animals in the wilderness. I guess that'll be really cool.. but i'm not sure if people actually do that? I'm feeling so lazy and unmotivated to do anything.

Focus on the family workshop today. Well it was not bad.. just reinforcing what i already know though.. not much new things that i haven't heard before.


The funny thing about blogging is that you have so much u wanna blog, but then you open the window and u stare blankly at the screen. urgh.

Wohoo, last night was fun!
Met up with the guys at 1am to play lan till 4am..
Ran in the rain, from paradiz to PS which was closed.
Sat on the steps, hungry and tired, and did i mention.. WET.
Contemplated ordering macdonalds until Joey fell asleep.
Walked over to rendevous hotel to sit in the lobby for 20sec before getting chased out by the security guard.
Had breakfast at the 24Hr Kopitiam which sells ice milo at 2bucks a cup.
Saw a whole group of transvestites, who screamed in a crescendo when one of them dropped the tray, as if trying to remind the whole world that they were females..
Reached home at 7am and Dad said "Good morning!" as i walked in through the door and he walked out to go to market.

And then..
zzzzzz..........
