Hi Everyone!! I'm back to update about myself. This two weeks have been rather relaxing for me cos i'm having block leave right now. No marching, no PT, no shouting from SGT, no lights out and wake up timing... the list justr go on and on. So what have i been doing for the past two weeks? Well, basically most of the time i'll be at home playing playstation 2, battlefield 2, watch DVD/SCV and sleep. Oh ya, also play with my cousin's baby boy, Justin cos my mum is helping her to babysit.
Last tuesday, Joshua invited a few of us to his house to watch DVD and play Xbox. In the end, we only watch one movie: MUNICH and spend the rest of the time playing halo 2. The movie was no bad la, though sometime i will doze off haha. After that, went to coffee club for dinner with Josh, Max, Bernard & Bala. The Mud pie is really nice!!! if i go again, i will definitely order that again. Then yesterday went to meet up with my poly friends. Initially wanted to eat at a hong kong styled restaurant @ Cineleisure but waited for quite a while stil no seats available (may be we too many ppl ba). In the end, went down to level 1, a western restaurant, Chicago's Steak House. in general, the food is not bad. had a good chat with them, updating each other of our life. After the meal, no place to go so go home together. That marks the end of the day.

Kind of disappointed that I can't get into command school. But still wanna thank God for it cos i believe whatever plans He has for me is always the best for me. No command school means got more time to serve in the Church ministry and may be this year youth camp. Alright, i think thats about it, will update more when return from my new camp.

Hasn't been updating my blog for quite a while.. Yesterday marks a important phase of my army life: from RECRUIT to TRAINED SOLDIER a.k.a PTE.

Yesterday was my Passing out parade. Have been rehearsing it for 1 week. Standing under hot scorching sun, doing all the drills and running in the parade square. All came to an end and what awaits me is my long 15 days of block leave Hooray!!! Wanna thank God for bringing me through the past 3 months of tough training: Field Camp, road march and SIT test. At the same time, God provided me with a good bunch of platoon and section mates: Bryan, Joshua, JP, Wilson Lim/Shen, Kenneth and the list just go on & on.

One incident which I really wanna thank God for is the 24km road march. For those who donno wahts the 24km road march is, it means that you have to carry your field pack which is i think weigh more than 5 kg, with webby, helmet and your M16 rifle and walk for 24km. The journey is really long. Started the march in the afternoon at 3.30pm. Have been seeking for prayer support for strength and endurance before the march. Nick encourage me by asking me to memorise Psalm 23. But God really spoke to me when i have walk for 16km and was taking a break. At that point of time, i was about to break down and i can feel that my eyes started to become watery. I really wanna give up cos blisters and abbrasion plus the heavy load really push me to the extreme. Suddenly, this song just came to my mind, a chinese song by the streams of prasie. I was very touched at that point and it really give me a sense of relief knowing that God is there for me. I pushed on and continued the journey and finally completing the whole march at close to 11pm.

I wanna thank GOD for all the things He has blessed me with: a new home, a new bunch of ns friends and also my brothers and sisters in Christ. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!
