I'm back! And surprisingly I'm not looking too bad with short hair. Instead my body's looking much better with all the training. Ok so I shall run through certain things about ns that are not classified pieces of information. Trainings Physical, but not overtiring. Certain ones are fun, others are tough, and the rest are knowledge that soldiers need to know. The difficult part is not getting saboed or kena pumping. Friends Got a total of 5 RJ guys not including me in my platoon. Michael Yeung, Andrew Teh, Lai Jishun, Low Jian Liang and Jon Seetoh. Mam's nearby... In my company too! Get to see him quite often. But not that often. My section people are pretty easy going people, nice to be with, not too overbearing, and not too aloof at the same time. Just nice IMO. Lots of different personalities, but all click together to form a pretty good unit. Wai Lun ~ Cool, calm, collected Chris Cheong ~ Fellow musically inclined guy Arjun ~ Funny nice guy Yan Han ~ Takes initiative...

Well after the initial adrenaline rush of excitement about going into army soon its now reached a period of calm just before the storm. Just feeling oddly emotionless about my impending entry into national service. Trying to complete a couple of trivial things such as Persona and watching the last 20 episodes of the yugioh series. But doesn't seem like I'll have enough time. Thanks goes out to all those who've been praying for me. My church, my YE friends, my Christian friends. And to those who've been by my side and encouraged me. I'll honestly miss all you guys. And I'm sure you'll miss me too. My facebook fluffpet Roo already misses me. How sweet of her. Thank you too Lord for the journey ahead. I shall discover new ways of unveiling your glory and letting it shine. I know nothing that comes in my way is too difficult. Before I go... Heres one final snippet of bible knowledge I'd like to share in conjunction with what we've learnt in the youth lea...

A year of changes... Beginning to unfold! First change: New QT Material! I've decided that since I've finished the one year bible reading, and I've seen the outline of the entire bible more clearly through this year, I should find some way to link it all together. So I dug into my cupboards in search of something that may help... And I found a bible handbook by Dr Henrietta C. Mears. Hopefully this'll help me link all the pieces all together and find deeper significance in whatever I read. Besides guiding you spiritually, it gives some info that you'd never be able to discover yourself. Talk about piquing someones interest in the bible... Some interesting trivia I've learnt about the bible in the first chapter so far: Jesus quotes from 22 books of the OT 19 times in Matthew 15 in Mark 25 in Luke and 11 in John Revelation quotes the OT 245 times Longest book in the NT: Luke Most chapters in the NT: Matthew! Longest verse: Esther 8:9 Shortest verse: John 11:35 Lon...

Long post! Heya guys... Guess that with the year 2007 ending its time for a little reflection for most of us bloggers. Well, what can I say? This year has been tough, but the tougher its been, the greater the glory of God shines down on us and into the world yes? I guess there are definitely questions about the future left unanswered, areas of my life that are still waiting for completion. But the more I think about it the more I am assured. I have faced so much this year, and when I look back, I wonder how I managed to pull myself through. And thats where God came in. My strength comes from Him who is ever present in my life. Hosanna, hosanna! Hosanna in the highest! *** Eden-Sol You guys haven't seen this heading in a long time right? Heh its back! For now at least. The guys sneaked ourselves back into school for a recording session from 8pm to 2am on Thursday. And what other thing to record but our own single - Underneath The Son! We've done the drums, bass and rhythm...

Ok I'm kinda glad that I finally got some time alone to reflect and think about stuff. The month has been really busy, full of holidays, camps, outings, stuff to do and what not. Alright so here goes. Won't be blogging much about the details of the camp. Instead maybe a couple of things I've felt during the camp. Ok I shall include a couple of things from yesterday's outreach service as well. 1. Its really great that everyone in YE can just bond together almost instantaneously. 2. The camp comm did very well in my opinion. There were places that could be improved, but it was well done. 3. Those prayer sessions every night with my room mates made the camp extra special. 4. I'm glad that more people are willing to pick up an instrument and worship spontaneously, as well as sing along when they hear someone playing. 5. The spiritual aspect of the camp was not lacking. In my opinion it was a stonger ministering camp than last year. 6. Last year we saw God's divine i...

Ok I'm back from Pulau Ubin, and I think all those who attended can say that it was a really great experience not only fun wise but also spiritually. Happenings around the camp will be covered in the next post! *** For now... Aussie time! Day 0 ~ At the airport... Woot how exciting! Airbus 380. Here we go... Day 1 ~ Sydney... At the airport, taking a look at the surroundings, and checking out the temperature. Oddly, it was cold. Although right now Australia is supposed to be going through summer. Hopped on the bus... Time for a city tour! Onto our first destination, MacQuaries Point. This is where the wife of one of the leaders of Australia sat a long time ago. Ok I admit I wasn't paying attention to the tour guide. Its a place overlooking the river and the city. Sydney Opera house. A pretty magnificent sight. Its getting old, but its splendor beats the Esplanade any day. Bridge! I remember in one of the Amazing Races a road block was supposed to be there or something like tha...

On my way to Ubin for church camp! From 17th to 20th. Staying overnight at church today. See you guys soon!
