Okay. 2008

Well I certainly started off the year with much remorse about getting downgraded to pes C and thus not being able to go to OCS and do something fun with my 2 years of NS.

But God has his way of doing things and his perfect timing has never failed to astound me.

Because I'm in pes C.
I'm humbled. I learned the greatest lesson of all this year. To love.

1 Corinthians 13 has become my verse or so i'd like to call it.

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast. it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on it's own way, it is not irritable or resentful. It does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

No doubt I'm still learning and I do fall at times.. That's when I need God's grace all the more.


When it comes to friends..
Well what can I say. It really takes alot of effort to maintain friendships...
Some of the friends I made years back are still friends today. Others are probably still friends but we aren't that close anymore. I guess that's why there's so many "philosophical" sayings about friendship.. about how we sometimes have to leave old friends behind to meet new friends.. It sux.. I dun ever wanna leave my friends. But time just takes it's toil on me..


I used to think I'd become a psychiatrist, and then I went to the medicine interview and said dengue spreads through food and water..

I used to think I'd be a pilot, and then I realised I couldn't bear to stay away from home so often.

I used to think I'd be a vet, until.. well i got sick and tired of the attachment every sunday not doing anything..

Now i'm thinking I wanna be a school teacher.
That way, I can impact young lives and at the same time, have time for my wife and kids. And I'd go for overseas CIP and help the under privledged. I'd sing with Victoria Chorale and continue my japanese studies. I'd be a teacher who takes genuine interest in his students lives and not just teach for the sake of teaching. But some people might say I'm totally disillusioned about the teaching profession.


Well i'm already in to the new year, and it certainly is starting off really well. :D:D

This morning i woke up to brunch with Dad at East Coast Road prawn noodles.
We went shopping at parkway after that..
We bought a tennis racket!! And Balls.

And steak and potatoes and salad.

And we came home to play tennis and cook.

How cool is that.

God is gracious.

I was walking out of camp yesterday to the nearest bus stop at least 10km away praying really hard for some kind soul to pull over and give me a lift out cos i really had to get somewhere soon. And i was getting real sweaty in my uniform and all and the freaking road never seemed to get any shorter. Then suddenly an angel turned up in a white lorry and asked me where i was going. He was headed for ubi and me to airport. I asked if i could get a lift out to tmft which was where the nearest bus stop was and he said hop on. So i did. And then he asked how i was gonna get to the airport from there.

Change bus at the main road, take train..

He paused for a while and then said, k la, i fetch you to airport.
I believe angels drive white lorries and repair street lamps. :)

Thank you God.

The best new year's day eva! :D

I have yet to make my new year resoultions though. Been a really busy transition this time, with so many happenings!! But I'm looking forward to 2009 with lots of hope :)

2008 has been a wonderful year. I've certainly learned and grown alot, especially in the last quarter of the year. When we're in the pits, God really sends angels our way to rescue us.

Details details.. ask me yourself. heh.
Nite Nite.
