Missed the good old days

Just finish talking to one of my ITE days friend... Ming Hui.... He is going army in another 5 hours... Starting his new chapter in his life..... Told him many of my tips and tricks that was past down from the above generation and my own experiences... Haha... sounded I like so old.. Good to prepare him bah.. anway nowadays things are getting more easier and relax due to many of the previous batch of soldier meet with some mishap....

While talking to him.. I updated my counter ... 2 Mths and 2 days to ORD ...i remembered my share of experience... from the day i enlisted and to now... So many experiences of happiness and sadness and tiredness and being naughty haha..... but really missed the days... I love my BMT days where times were more tougher but going through with so many buddies and friends's encouragements ... it's the most memorable days....

Can you spot me in any of the photos?


From a blur recruit till today... gonna ORD with LCP... haha... ending my chapter... embarking my new chapter... but still buddies in army was like never before... I guess thats what ppl say.. When a person under pressure... A person's character is shown... also when buddies and enemies are met..... I really missed my bed at bmt..haha.. though cant compare my current bed..but hey I got the sea view... haha....
See a nice view right....

digging firing trench

cleaning toilet.... the urinal cap...haha.... from dirt to speckling clean

celebrate platoon mate birthday that turn out to be a splashing each other with water...

Den after BMT, I'm posted to HQ Mes... Some will ask wat is that? Mes= Mess.. a place of relax.. but i can tell u it is not... we deal with all army maintainance in Singapore... that all the info i can provide regarding my unit... Well, it is more like a office enviroment... so much like a working world outside..just that there is regiments and uniforms... but still different of stress i would say... but still find my buddies there....



Well... now my chapter is ending... If anyone ask me now... Whether do I mind to go back army again for another 2 years.. what would I say? I wouldn't mind... going through BMT again.. but if again.. I wish I could be posted to a more active unit.. to fight for my nation and do my part actively again.... Patriotic? yes I guess? Coz I'm born in Singapore... A fact I cant change...

Well, who know ... I might chose army as my career?

Till now? Sleep of cos...

CiaozzzZzZzz.. YAWN

Message for my CG members..

---------------------
Quote from Ryan's blog (http://fortiscause.blogspot.com/)

31 March 2006
This post is for all of you, my members who are not doing well... I might sound fustrasted as I blogged so please pardon me...Well, all I can say is, I do not know what is going on thru our life right now but from my own experience, whateva you all going thru now is what I had gone thru... rushing for projects, parental objections, tiredness, watever you may have... friends, all these while we stand together, all these while we had been working together, so why now doing these... Did anyone of us do anything wrong? Did anyone of us offended anyone of you all? Ultimately, God perhaps did not forsake all of you and why are you sliding away from Him? Did He do anything wrong?Project - my core files were corrupted and unrecoverable, I was devastated but I did not forsake God, I prayed for a miracle and it happened. I got an A WITHOUT submitting any files and just the logfile and report.Parental Objections - keep persisting me not going to church but I went, I joined ministry, I defied all orders just to be with Jesus and be in the house of the Lord. Why? Bcos He's my joy and my peace. They do not want me to get baptized but I made the biggest decision in my life and that's to get baptized and its going to happen - 5 May!Tiredness - Army = Tiredness... in the army, 5 and half days.. book out sat and book in sun! Did I missed svc? Yes and almost backslided but I pulled thru cos I can't bear to leave Him. I restored the strong relationship and was blessed tremendously...Friends, I can tell you many many more good news that I have but if you are unwilling, I got nothing to say but God certainly did not shortchange anyone and never will He. Friends, do not slide away from Him anymore. Come back to Him. He's waiting for you with wide open arms.

Dear members,
I feel wat Ryan is through.. I may never be in your shoes b4.. but i believe some of us have fitted in the shoes b4... Let us help u... God doesn't need your salvation because God no matter wat he will still destroy this world.. But question is why he don't do it now? Because we are his creation he still love us. He is giving us time to come back to him.. The cycle turn other way round is you need God... and not God need you.... Why are you turning away?

If you have someone that hurt you in church, but hey!! The church was never mentioned that church is a heaven and nobody will hurt each other? But we learn and help each other to change.. like Iron sharpen Iron... Forgive them and what matter most is God is the center of focus.... When iron sharpen iron, it painful with all the beating and moulding.. but hey... end up we are refine piece of Iron...

Move on with God.... CG will change.. be it multiply, disband, etc.. but God won't change... Trust God ... have faith in him...

Running with you,

E389 & Winston

Just another day.. ended with a bit of stress

Woke up really early... went with my parents to get "Singpass"... really crowded at CPF building... everyone is like asking and rushing for the Progress Package which the goverment is giving... but hey relax it is just a registration... Still got to wait till May then you get your money...
Anyway the que was really fast for the singpass... after gettting the singpass.. went with my parents to have 2nd breakfast(coz we had a light one earlier before we leave home)... We are like thinking where is the nearest hawker.. My Dad is like ... ok lets take cab to go... WAH!! He rich hor... haha... coz It is two streets away... haha.... In the end... we walk there... After breakfast, came home to slp for a while before CG at my place

The friend is not at home.. so sad.. Today we had the lowest attendance in CG... 5 ppl with 2 more make-up member from other cg... During worship, i was crying out to God... Grow the CG ... We need your power ... Thoughts of cg disband etc.. really saden me... i literally cant sing... i was crying in the presence of God.. I feel that God just told me now is My turn to move... Watch....
