Dear God,
           There has been so much that I wanted to say, but I can't seem to express in words nor remember all that You have done, for although I have remembered You little, You have honored my giving and blessed me with an overflowing cup.
I failed my Os, but I thank you for that, as I have met the best friends I have ever met in poly. And I thank You for them.
            I thank You for giving me the wisdom and strength to go through my
            I thank You for giving me the chance to go to Trinity where I met the best christian friends that have taught me to stand firm and grow in You. And where I have learned to experience You in the smallest of blessings and find You in the hardest of trials.
            I Thank You for giving me the chance to make commandos. To do my best for your Honor and Glory, not mine. To do my parents proud.
            I thank You for being my Lord and Saviour. For I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me. 
           Dear God, even as the time draws extremely near for me to enlist. I ask and pray these things. I pray for your continual healing upon my back. I rebuke any pain through Jesus's blood. For the blood has healed me. I ask that my camp, camp mates,  sgts, officers and anyone else I meet will be open to Your words. I ask and pray for wisdom to share your love. I pray that the words of my mouth and the actions of my deeds will bring Honor and Glory to Your name. I pray for protection against the spirit of pride, but I pray that I will have the spirit of humility and servanthood as Your son Jesus. I pray against any spritual forces within the camp. I ask you to give me the wisdom to start a cell within the camp itself.
 
In Jesus's name I pray and ask all these through faith.
Amen

another day striked off the calander...tick tock...4 days and counting down to my enlistment...
I was thinking "hey, I didn't do much today, how bout having the last 4 days doing a tribute/record to my friends" not that they are gonna read it much anyway..most of em don't even know I have this. It's just to log my army days....so I shall go in this manner...Church, then Poly and before I go in to God..so that blog will last for the 3 weeks I am in camp.
 
Now comes the complication...Church...I have two...my previous and my current.
Oh well...I'll start off with the previous....
 
Hey pple...most of you would probably not be reading this, but hey.
 
Anyway, I know I left in a blink of an eye. It's not that I'm pissed with any of you. It's just that I found that I don't clique with any of you. Youth leader yes, age gap yes too. I kinda left cause I was way too sick with certain "leadership". One that plays on guilt, adhering only to people are worth something, who keeps calling himself "God's annoited", who has an issue with the sense of reponsibilty and who has a BIG BIG issue with a little thing called humility. Left cause the way things were done there were too flippant. People, my advice to you would be, when you serve God, make sure you do it whole heartedly. And that means coming to practice on the stated time, or even earlier to make sure things are ready to start. I've had practice with you people. As the WL, when I stated the time at 12, people only came in at 12.15...12.30..and took their own time setting up the equipment. And in the end we start at 1pm. We start late and we have to rush. That's NOT respecting God or serving Him whole heartedly. As camp comm., when I pushed for things to get done..the response I got was :"Why do you need to be so rushed? relax lah, this is youth, not army" Did you all NOT learn anything from the previous mission trip? What was the point of going for that, or even your most recent one if you don't learn, or you just talk about it and not go about doing it? And it goes all the way up too.
As for the rest of you, things were fun while I was there. I will always link the christmas period to sentosa and the youth camps. I had fun while I was there. My advice to you for any of your upcoming events, trips, school work or anything is to talk to God. I know xxon doesn't really emphasize on that. But SERIOUSLY. Pray... During worship, just forget about who is next to you, just focus on God. Do not be ashamed to raise your hands to praise Him. Do not be afraid to shed tears. Do not be afraid to raise a new song unto Him. Do not be afraid to pray right there and then. And most of all, Do not be afraid to stand up and testify for Him should it even be a simple word or vision. God bless you all.
 
To my brothers at Trinity. It has been a great time ever since I joined you guys. Yoong Heng, Hwee, Aaron, Joshua, Eugene, Kerrick, Kaixin, Oonz, Dansen, Jonathon, Kairan, Kenneth. You guys are awesome. To josh, oonz and dansen. God bless on your education path. May God guide you as you trust in Him. I had fun ever since I joined. Be in the torturing Pre-NS camp (I found it fun actually), lunch and to the 1942 after cell group on sunday. I've seriously enjoyed every moment. I thank you guys for opening up and showing me a whole new level in prayer and worship of our Father. Be it in the main service or even with the simple guitar in our cell groups. I have really sense God's presence there. I thank you guys for showing me how to be bold in my faith, up to the point where I really want to reach out to the people in my camp. I ask that you continually pray for me in there. For my lower back especially.
 
I seriously feel like paul or like I am writing my will...haha.
 
God bless

Went to watch King Arthur today....do I recommend you to go see? NO....why? cause it's nothing like the legendary myths. The only thing the show had in common were the names and when Arthur pulled the sword from the stone...but WHY he pulled the sword from the stone wasn't the same..it was another reason. .and it's a bloody anti-climax..no... seriously...
And the war scene at the end...BORING....I usually enjoy war scenes..but this was...man...
And Merlin...poor merlin...he wasn't even a magician..he was a the leader of a rag tag army of woads..no magic..nothing!!!!

Bought the air wick peppermint and rosemary air freshner..it's pretty damn nice..
seriously...
And don't gimme the crap about me going into xxxxx and stuff..Going in yes..stop being human..no...haven't reached that level yet. And you leave a room for 3 weeks..open the windows once in a while...a confirmed weird smell man...

Bought some "fruity fresh" sachet for my cupboard too.. and a ambi pur "innocence" frgrance on stand by too...paranoia...but maybe i'll give that to my parents..i like the peppermint one...

Got a bbq on saturday, monday might be going to sentosa to soak up the rays or something before i enlist wednesday....

And yes..5 days left to go before I shave my head and step into the unknown...




Posted on 7/15/2004 by <$The One$>

And again..6 days to go....

HELL I AM FEELING NERVOUS....I never expected me to get that.
but i guess it's normal..i am after all stepping into the unknown.

Hell yeah..room is 80% clean...finally...now to put away the nitty gritties and I will be done..FINALLY...

Hell...i got a new list for the things I need to get for army..and lo and behold..I need more stuff...bummerific....

Day's been the usual...clean up, go run, slack and stone.

Gonna collect my specs tomorrow.AH HECK!!! i forgot to get the bicycle tights...darn it... oh well...collect specs. go to town, meet friends for a buffet lunch (maybe..depends on time) and then go watch King Arthur..let u know how that goes..
Nothing much to report on my life..let you know more as it comes

Posted on 7/14/2004 by <$The One$>

In the twinkling of an eye, another day is yet gone. 8 Days to go...
Did manage to do some stuff today though...
went out, got my custom insoles made...bloody $260...but if i need em, i need em...
bought my toiletries for army...well, more or less. got my army specs made.
rearranged my table unit....gives it a more office look....
hey, my room is a damn mess ok? I was supposed to clean it up a long time ago..say in May...after my final exam before I grad from poly...then I said..I'll clean it after I get my results...'In case...you know..' Hey..Thanks be to God, I passed. And I delayed in cleaning..or I should say, I tried cleaning it..but the mess just shifted from one part of the room to the others..so yes, June was messed up..Then came July..21 days to army back then..Now it's 8 days..and my room is still a bloody mess...looks like someone threw a couple of frags in here...

oh look...1/2 hour to go before it's 7 days to go...
Too stoned...I'll continue tomorrow.
Gotta.....sleep.....need..to...clean..room...tomorrow......

By the way..guys. The Punisher is a cool show...his brand of justice is AWESOME....

Posted on 7/12/2004 by <$The One$>

Coming close to midnight as I post...
9 more days till I enlist...

Well, it's been a great day..at least cell group was.
I'm glad I made a move to trinity instead of staying at xxon where I basically learnt nothing under that leadership of 'someone'
My new cell group is made up of NS or Ex-NS people. Great guys I can relate with. No cliques, all transparent and accountable with each other. And best of all..ALL JOKERS!!! hahaha..those guys really rock.
Really like the worship too. Be it in the cell with a simple guitar or in the main. I can really feel it's true worship from the bottom of my heart and God is there...I'd bet you'd feel it too if you'd come visit. It really is awesome.
And that's only the worship, you haven't seen the prayer power that is displayed..
And the cell group...honest to God, I've finally found somewhere I learn something.

After that was lunch at mac's...all fun and laughter all the way. Was supposed to go play 1942 after cell..haha..it's super fun, but one of em got recalled and we cancelled.

Even IF we had plans, I might not have been able to go cause I was supposed to have plans to go meet two of my old poly friends..swim, gym, sauna..but the weather, in all it's infinite wierd attitude it's been having lately..was sunny, cloudy, rain..and repeat..so I decided to GO HOME...only to get the sun peek out from behind again...
Bummer....

Wanted to go run, but I overslept...actually I woke up, hit the snooze and went back to sleep...lazy ass I am..hahahahahaha...oh well..

Thanks for reading, God bless.


FOR HONOR AND GLORY TO GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!

OK PEOPLE, IF YOU GET THIS ON YOUR BULLETIN ON FRIENDSTER...I WROTE IT...
I JUST HEARD SOME CLOWN REMOVED MY NAME AND FORWARDED IT....

Dudes...i'm don't know if you know this...but
chain letters are REALLY ANNOYING!!! and a whole
buncha bull....i mean, it's nice that some
people are posting bulletins about job lobangs,
needing help and for sad cases like blood type
donations. Hey, that's fine. it might save a
life....but those really really annoying chain
letters?

Beware..if you don't forward this, you will die
or if you don't forward this, i will haunt you
tonight...like please...come on man...don't you
find that just a bit ridiculous? we got tech
savvy spooks now? yeah yeah...we heard of em
turning on computers and lights...but logging
into an account under someone and posting a
bulletin...doesn't that sound a wee bit DUMB
AS*ED and suspicious???? you people obviously
have quite a high IQ to be where you are and you
tell me you believe that?!?!?!

And...send this to everyone you know..for every
mail you send out, bill gates will give 5 cents
to my daughter's medical fund..FOR CRYING OUT
LOUD!!!! He's got better things to do with his
money...namely GIVE IT TO ME!!!!
Oh yes..this too...for every 10 people you send
this to, you get $100 from microsoft and a free
phone of choice from nokia...if they did
that..their company would SHUT DOWN!!!

Man this gets so damn irritating i've decided to
come up with my own chain letter....Janan's
style....

Forward this, or a little leprachaun will climb
through you window tonight and stick you where
the sun don't shine, shave your head stick an
inflatable rubber glove on it and run around
like a chicken or your girlfriend will leave
you, give me 10 bucks or you will become
bankrupt, don't write anymore dumb a$$ed chain
letters bout medical funds or spooks or you will
die a terrible death...and lastly....DON"T
FORWARD DUMB CHAIN LETTERS(or bulletins) OR I'LL
KICK YOU WHERE THE SUN DON"T SHINE!!!!!

As if we don't get enough spam from e-mails..now
we get spam here too

There..that feels so much better....

It's 0000hrs, and now i have 10 days to enlistment..

I am looking forward to getting enlisted...seriously, but then again, as with almost everyone who is stepping into a new and unknown territory, only to be surrounded by new people, where you have no control over what is going to happen to you, I do get that small sense of nervousness.

Delightful isn't it? Hahaha.

Only difference is, I am going in with a slight physical problem. Other guys would jump at the chance to use that to get downgraded..I am praying everyday that it won't bother me and I will be able to make it all the way through and get my beret...

Around 11 months of pure hell to get that beret..like they say...For Honor and Glory..

Got most of my army stuff already..wanna see the list?
Mirror x1 - to apply camo paint
Prickly heat powder x1.5 - Hey..that's important
SAF issued powder x2 - For socks and stuff..I ain't gonna have foot rot....
Green and Black Camo cream x2 - Duh...
Brown Camo cream x1 - Duh...
Garter x2 - They will issue, but there is a tendency to lose these...
Black Tape x7 - Have to make sand cans...
Gloves x1 - Duh...
Small Black Rubberbands x30 - Tie up lose ends and stuff
Big Black Rubberbands x10 - Tie up and secure stuff
Lock x1 - Duh.....
Comscott x1 - That little roll of green nylon string...tie up stuff..hang things..
Clock x1 - Duh....
Nail Clipper x1 - Duh...
Orange cleaning cloths x2 - 1 for rifle, 1 for boots...
Ziplock x25 - 5 of each size..small to jumbo...CLOTHES AND STUFF
Cap x1 - Duh.....
Socks x4 - No foot rot for me....
BIG BLACK BAG x1 - To dump all the above stuff and clothes and MORE!!!

And i still need to get more stuff too....
I'll be posting more then once a day until I get enlisted...
WELCOME TO MY WHACKY WORLD!!!!


Posted on 7/10/2004 by <$The One$>

11 Days to go till I enlist....

And looky here..I managed to get the site mostly up and running with a little help from someone...
Now how in the world do i upload pics and stuff?

Been a mostly boring day as usual...went running again. stone, slack, watch tv...yeah..that's about it.....

Spiderman 2 was awesome..nice fight scenes...but the two that really stuck with me were the parts where he passed out and got carried into the train and the people saw his face and when MJ found out he was spiderman. I guess that it's got something to do with a sense of honor....something that we mostly disregard now days...

11 days to book in day...doo dah, doo dah..
11 days to book in day, oh a doo dah day...


Posted on 7/09/2004 by <$The One$>

Right...ok, this is getting annoying..
1) I can't figure out how to put a tag board
2) I can't figure out how to put pics
3) I can't figure out how to put a nice background
4) The fonts suck...and guess what..I CAN"T FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHANGE THAT EITHER!!!

I think i'll have better luck finding a two headed monkey...

It's either I'm way too stoned or way too lazy to go figure..
it's the I'VE GRADUATED FROM POLY!!! I really really really don't feel like figuring things out now...don't ask me how I managed to get my diploma in 3 years...ask God..he had a 99% hand in it...

Leon Alvis, you clown, what am I supposed to look out for...you sms me and ask me to watch CNA at 2200hrs..I ain't seeing squat my friend.....I promise you, if you ever come into my unit in camp....I will make you pay just for that...BWAHAHAHA....

Spiderman 2 ROCKS!!! nice show..gonna catch King Arthur next..the last show i watch before i enlist...WHOOP DEE DOO!!! YOU CLOWNS!!!!!

okok...nough said...i wanna go sit in a corner, "suck thumb, L.L." and try to figure out how this darn thing works.....

Posted on 7/08/2004 by <$The One$>

Kiss sane bloggin goodbye..this is gonna be one weird site....
Yes yes, it'll contain the usual ranting and raving about how life sucks and how it's a ball....

Posted on 7/08/2004 by <$The One$>

Right ok....looks like it's gonna take more then 10 minutes to figure out how this site works...i type and publish, expecting something...but i get....NOTHING!!!!

Let's try that again shall we?

Posted on 7/08/2004 by <$The One$>

Ok, right....now i've created my blog site....all 5mins ago...now it's time to see how this thing goes...it's probably gonna be some dumb thing that i had nothing else better to do then to post, forget about it until the warning e-mail goes that they are gonna bust me off for not updating or something....
