Garden City / Army

I just realised something recently; singapore is a garden city, not only for aesthestic beauty, but military reasons. only in a place like singapore can we blend FIBUA with jungle warefare. as i was walking home today, i could see so many places that we can stage enemy ambush; the "mini-jungle" next to D'Elias, the mini longkang running alongside sungei apiapi could also double as a trench, and the soldiers would not be seen, even 3-4metres away due to the gradient of the slope. and all these does not even include all the parks like eastcoast, pasir ris parks, the forested areas around the highways, etc....

anyway, had dinner with farhan 2 day. had a good rant about army. somehow i realise that no matter how much we detest it, we always come back to it. we are continually seeped in it for more than 2thirds a week, from the time we sleep till the time we wake up in an army camp, to the point army becomes part of our identity. it is something common that links all of us guys, wether it is sharing of our experience, complaining about the system, superiors, others, or talking about army in general, it always finds it's way back into our focus even out of camp.

now imagine if we could be that seeped into christian culture.

Dear Lord

Dear Lord,

For the times when I....

Became religious like the Pharisees;
Looked at people without Love;
Wept at the altar but went home unchanged;
Start flippant conversations when really, I should have been talking about You;
Succumbed to sleep instead of sitting at Your feet and spend time with You;
Only choose to look at my own circumstances and become self-centred;
Am lazy and reluctant to serve;
Broke Your heart;
Look at my life and do not see the purpose You have for me in it;
Do not have faith even though I say I believe in You;
Have pride in my heart and think that there's a slight chance I could make it without You;
Belittle myself;
Overestimate my abilities;
Fall into self-pity;
Am more willing to be encouraged than to encourage;
Want to be understood more than I want to understand others;

I'm sorry.

But I know I love You and nothing's going to take that away from me

In Jesus Name, Amen

Full cycle

3 journeys have ended while 1 have yet to start.

Yest was when the 3 other Specialists, chong, glenn and ivan have ORDed! they were the 1s who "jiao huai wo men", teaching me n lili to DOTA, keep chioing us to MJ in bunk. i know it's abit EMO, but army is such that u meet different people in your life that leave impacts in your life unlike in school, due to the amount of time you have to spend together, training, in bunk, chaokenging tgt, saboing etc... and the thing is that it is uncertain that we will meet again, so this entry is to pay tribute to them.







well, at least i know it's highly unlikely that they read this so at least i won't be so paisei.

while 3 journeys have ended, 1 have yet to start.

Alvin is enlisting on thurs! i know he will kill me 4 dis but vain alvin will lose all his hair and have pore-clogging camo creme all over his face!!! this post will also be a farewell tribute to his hair. enjoy them while they lasts.


Soon transformed into
