Really tiring week in camp... Started off with a route march last wednesday, mock activation on sunday, store tidy up yesterday and finally a recce trip for drivers today. Glad I'm out of camp now. However got lots of things to settle. I've been given the privilege to lead worship for enrolment service... I'm really excited, and a bit stressed, but well God comes first ya. So many different things... I haven't been this busy since JC. For starters, BTT is tomorrow... Really afraid I'll fail. Driving course helped but you'll never be certain. Friday I'll be meeting Rach for worship min stuff... Lots of things to discuss. Then booking in in the afternoon for happy hour, settling the songs, mussos and smsing for enrolment service during the happy hour. (Which makes a rather busy happy hour.) Saturday will be enrolment service rehearsal with the BB kids, and the evening should be rather exciting. Sunday Sherine may be coming down to COGS, plus I need to prep the...

Oh wow its finally the end of Clannad After Story, and it was a really touching anime. I'm glad it ended on a happy note. The previous episode was pretty sad. Heres a pretty nice piano/guitar song from Clannad After Story, which I'm now trying to learn. Click the play button on the right to hear it.

Back from camp: the 43rd signal road relay just ended, and 8 SIG ended up as tug of war champions! Hurray... Well this past week went for OUV familiarisation, which allows me to drive a new kind of vehicle thats pretty nice. Auto transmission, air con, easy control... Its pretty easy to drive even though the size of its bonnet is big. My instructor was really nice and funny. There wasn't a dull moment during the course. As a result of my driving around for the last week for signal anniversary stuffs I've been awarded a total of 3 off days... Wow! Taking my total tally to 8.5. Sweet. Doing saikang really pays off. Getting sick tho. After getting stuck in the rain on monday, I'm having a cold. Not very bad one, but irritating enough. Oh and heard about the news.... Poor Triple. =( Hope Gerald and his mom are doing fine. I'm now doing a couple of bible studies about suffering, and recieving God's comfort... Various aspects of it and how to deal with it, and the mentali...

Apologies for not writing a post earlier... Beginning to feel rather lonely, yet also feel refreshed at the same time. Its something rather hard to comprehend. So I'm in camp on this dreary weekend. Was quite busy this week with signal anniversary stores, and helping drive stuff here and there. One thing that adds to this bore is the fact that most of my other company mates are playing an online browser game called ikariam, which I think is pretty much a waste of time. I was quite sad yesterday when I read the Naruto manga. Seems like Hinata's going to die. (Apologies to all those who don't follow manga... Cos of the spoilers or just in case you don't watch the Naruto anime) She's one of my most favourite characters cos of her personality, situation and lots more. And shes the one I identify with the most. A quiet person. Had a person that she wanted to chase up to and walk beside. Most of all someone who sacrificed her life for what she loved and believed. Thats ni...

Ah the school days... Relived a bit of them over the weekend, after visiting Westwood Sec's BB, and going back to school to collect my A level cert. Two totally different environments, but I enjoyed both of them nonetheless. At Westwood sec everybody was really friendly... I guess its because it has the CCA feel to it. No one who joins them really gets excluded, I certainly didn't feel that way though it was my first time. They just talked to me like I was an ordinary person. That meant no stress when announcing about the 28th Feb event to them. I really hope some of them come tho I can't be there with them. Looking forward to more meetings with them. =) RJ... Wow so much has changed, ever since I went there for a class gathering just last year. Theres a new office, a cool new pond, new signs for the canteen stores and a designated canteen area for teachers. The clerk didn't make much fuss though I took one whole year to collect my cert. Looked through the year book, mo...

To do list for this weekend: 1. Check up on NUS Med apps 2. Top up BBDC account 3. Collect A level cert 4. Visit Westwood Sec BB Wow quite a handful of things... Gotta go quite a few places. Ah thats fine though. V day... Oh wells its nothing special to me, at least for now. Seeing a couple of guys in camp preparing for it makes me a bit apprehensive. The time, money, effort spent is pretty intimidating lol. Well, I'm back to my original duty system... And my first duty will start at the end of the month, which means I can't be there for the Dating, BGR, Marriage thing on the 28th. Sorry aunty k. Theres a parade for some people the week before that, so gotta sub them on the 21st for a day I believe. So won't be at home then either. Ah 2 weekends gone like that. *** Have been reading a book about Caring for others... The book says a large part of it is in comforting people in need or trouble. And thus I've realised nobody confides in me, even though I'm a pretty good...

Hey guys, currently in camp now. Have been using my driving skills every single day driving the unimog, cos most of the drivers are at range this week. Considerably nervous, but I guess the nerves will go down once I get more practice. Cos of the lack of drivers, may have to book out only tomorrow, but thats fine with me. I only have stuff on in the late afternoon and evening. So everythings hunky dory here in camp. Glad to be back. The PT is indeed slightly more xiong, but only slightly. My arms are aching, but its a chance to at least regain some muscle. Yup thats all, going to read manga now. RAVE MASTER!
