Thanks

and now for an update on my army life..
long time since i last posted something regarding that here. Thanks to RADM Teo for the 2 months cut in service! i've got around 9 months to go before i enter the next phase of my life. Amazing that it seemed not long ago when i first lost my pink ic, my hair and with it my freedom. back then, it seemed to be a real long way to go. but now, i am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel..
I'm kind of grateful for my unit and my posting, and for all that has happened these past 18 months in NS. Through it, i picked up a lot of skills and principles and all that will put me in good stead when i go out into the society next time. True, there were mistakes that i made, but i promise to learn from them and not make the same mistakes in future.
peace. out.
What is love?
The answer from the user's manual for us, the Bible
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 corinthians 13:4-7
Not too long ago I resolved not to get into any relationships until i figure out for myself exactly what an ideal relationship should be all about.. Well for someone who got his fingers burnt a few years ago.. U can't blame me for being overly cautious.. But I don't want to get myself carried away cos i have a crush on gal A or infatuated with gal B and in the end get my heart broken when her true colours got shown or when the relationship simply didn't work out due to personality differences or whatever. Cos that was how my first (and to date only) relationship started, and that was how it ended.
Like my mother once told me, "The right woman will make you; The wrong woman will break you." Very true..
If I say I like gal A, what do i mean? Crush? Infatuation? How about if i say to my partner "I love you"? These 3 words are the most powerful words a human being can say to another. They can change the destiny of both parties concerned, or if not, more often than not, the person on the receiving end. These are definitions that I am still searching for the answer..
In the long run, like all of us, i would want to find the right woman and settle down in a God-honoring and fulfilling relationship with her. But before I can do that, I will have to first KNOW what its really meant to be in a relationship.. what its really meant to be married.
Love and marriage is definitely more than the warm fuzzy feeling you get when in the presence of your loved one.. I must say. it is DEFINITELY MORE than that.
after my breakup with G.. i was fearful of relationships to a certain extent. A relationship can end in either of 2 ways.. 1, they marry and 'till death do us part' which is the ideal ending for a relationship... 'lived happily ever after' ending... 2, they break up.. can range from a puppy love relationship ending or a divorce after years of unhappy marriage.. sadly, unfortunately, majority of relationships fall into that category... that stems from a flawed understanding of what relationship is about..
peace. out.
Some photos from the Amazing Race at Sentosa...
Guess who's that in the background?
Ditto as above
Collect ration time. The guy looks like me, but it's not me. I wasn't wearing that shirt.
ACJC Ppl faced with their Fear Factor...
o man did she get arrowed to eat those things?
YUCKS!
And here's the main photo.. i was cheerleading.. but they din take me cos i think the photographer was standing next to me..
from another angle..
most of the ACJC ppl...
the KEY photo.. this was shown as part of the weekend connection video... haha my first reaction when i saw that was "tat mi! tat mi!"
All right gentlemen, well done, let's take a well deserved break...
As again i am hidden by someone or something... i never really appear in any of these photos
this is the JC cluster cheering
and this is they trying to learn the cheer jocelin was teaching.
Btw i was also involved in the SYF 2004 Opening Ceremony held on 3 Jul 04 as Contingent Commander for the St John Ambulance contingent.
One of the rehearsals, which explains the empty spectator stands.
This was my partner, Liew Shanzhi from Zone 10. His first time in safari on that day. Anyway, he's also from the same corps as one of my friends in st john.
I think his tour of duty in SYF had also been a period of transformation for him, really inducting him into the Officer-hood, as i learned that this was one of his first projects after commissioning as an officer.
overall we had a good time at the parade... i can say this is the pinnacle of my 'career' with st john as this is what i've always wanted to do for a very long time. if i ever get the chance to do NDP i'll jump at it too =)
