What the? The last post was in October 2005! This cannot stand!

So here I am, posting a message.

Currently I'm in the law library mugging for my exams which are coming up in less than 2 weeks time. Also, just saw Lester during lunchtime.

Despite the busy busy hectic hectic schedule, we should get together for lunch sometimes. Or dinner. You overseas buggers will just have to teleport. Or something.

Speaking of dinner, I think it's time for mine. See you!

Alright chaps, in a bid to revive the flagging love life of this web site.

Um... wait... that sounds wrong.

Alright chaps, in a bid to revive the flagging readership of this site, I've decided to do the lazy thing and use a funkier ready-to-use template. Can you feel the zen of the green layout? Woo.

Also, for the more enlightened who are using RSS/Atom enabled websites, I've also enabled syndication/newsfeeds so that you can get the latest info on all the RSS sites you frequent at one easy stop. Woo!

Now I just hope somebody reads this. Hah.

2005-05-03T12:00:00.000+08:00

Hey all!!!

I'll be back May 6th to May 18th! I'll have a very tight schedule, but we should so meet up!! =)

Love ya all!

2005-05-01T23:34:00.000+08:00

My study plans have been confirmed. I'll be studying Aero Engineering in NTU. Goodbye Umich!

2005-04-04T23:38:00.000+08:00

it matters because my uncle keeps bugging me about it. I don't think it's necessary. It's not explicitly stated in Scripture. Every time I consider it sincerely I find I must affirm inward faith over outward signs.

Easter. Jesus had all the power in the universe, therefore He gave it all away to be nailed on the cross. Think about it.

2005-03-29T16:43:00.000+08:00

ooh this is a good one haha.

technically no in the sense that one partakes of the Lord's supper in remembrance of the death and ascension of Christ, so as long as one truly believes one should be able to do so. however it is sth that is very impt to think abt, for it is written in romans 15 i believe that one should not eat (of the Lord's supper) if one is not sure about one's faith for whatsoever is not of faith is of sin. hence some churches would rather have the pp be baptised before partaking of it cause at least baptism is a public affirmation of faith and makes it more possible that one has truly considered this qn. i think my church would be disapproving of this, but at least i arrive at their conclusion that it would be more prudent to partake only after baptism, aye?

that aside will be back on the 1st of july...exams till end may then rotting ard for a while haha.

2005-03-29T00:05:00.000+08:00

Hey all!! =)

Josie, Josie.. you're still forever asking such questions. Does it matter? Oh well, I don't think baptism is necessary is partake of the Lord's supper because God's sacrifice is made available to all--both Gentiles and Jews, both the circumcised and uncircumcised.

FQ! It's great to hear from! Man, take good care of that ankle of yours!

It's indeed been a very fruitful Easter--very meaningful at that too, where God just spoke to me about His sacrifice... wow it's so powerful.

Hey all! I'll be back May 6thhhhhhh!!! =) =)

2005-03-28T11:03:00.000+08:00

here's an interesting topic.

Is baptism necessary for us to partake of the Lord's Supper?

2005-03-20T09:56:00.000+08:00

yeah thanks. yes this is kinda delayed....school break (ie study break) has just started, and today we had part of the ultimate frisbee regionals....tomorrow is the other instalment. unfortunately i had twisted my other ankle on wednesday during practice, but i still palyed today, with the unfortunate result that i am hobbling around now, and obviously cannot play tomorrow. that aside ultimate frisbee is great fun haha. pray that all of you would have a blessed Easter and God bless!

2005-02-14T20:05:00.000+08:00

Breaking the silence...

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! Especially to Ethie and FQ! This is indeed a special event for me because ORD is a month away!

I'm currently taking up driving lessons. I get to see Kangjie almost each time i'm at the driving centre. Haha, and i'm learning faster than him! He covers an average of one lesson per practical while i cover 2. I'm also looking for Temp Jobs to keep me occupied for the next few months prior to uni. Jobs I have in mind; Relief Teaching, Banking jobs, Waiter at ShangriLa, working in some learning centre....

It's nice returning back to civilian life once again. Hope you all are doing fine!

2004-11-11T17:34:00.000+08:00

No worries. Ankle recovered already!

I covered 20KM yesterday, Now my thighs are aching. Wild boars were part of the reason why i forced myself to run fast, because i was nearly chased by one, maybe a pack of them concealed in surrounding vegetation. I was scared out of my wits when rustling of leaves gave way to a wild boar as it emerged from the jungle. Prayer and trust in God was my only way out then.

Wild boars thrive abundantly on Tekong, and when one runs alone, one can easily fall prey to wild boars, monitor lizards, snakes....
Phew!Close shave, for the 2nd time.

I was at my church friend's wedding this morning, and i can' t seem to get it out of my mind. It just seemed all too surreal to have a close friend return from studies from Germany and get married in a span of 2 years. The ladies were all too well dressed... Ha

Somehow i get the feeling that the long weekend will be a boring one...

2004-11-07T01:34:00.000+08:00

What the beepbeep?
If you still want to take part, jon, I suggest you rest your ankle completely for 2 1/2 weeks MINIMUM. Preferably at least 3, of course. Then maybe take a short jog. 4km? 8km? Whatever you feel up to and see how. If really cannot then never mind. Can run together next year. Ankle is more important.
The above is not due to any medical knowledge. It's something called common sense plus a lot of optimism. Heh. Hope it recovers soon! Don't stress it by walking around too much!

2004-11-05T17:51:00.000+08:00

Can't believe this! I'm 1 month away from Standard Chartered Marathon which i'll be doing with Jenming and i just sprained my ankle. How am i going to train for the marathon? How? How?
Anyone else participating? Cherie? Joses?

Hope everyone is doing well....

Happy Deepavali and Selamat Hari Raya. Long weekend's coming!

Relax pple, i'm not "tainted". It was just an eyeopener for me. Who's keen on going army open house? Btw i'll be spending 3 weeks in camp cos new recruits just came in. 3 weeks away from home, from mainland? Argh... Open house anyone?

2004-08-17T22:04:00.000+08:00

Zouk wasn't all that bad. the crowd was just a little to big. haha. I bumped into quite a few acquaintances there.

2004-08-17T11:03:00.000+08:00

Greetings!

Melbourne is so cold! But life is fun, good and full of food =) I'm planning to leave in a couple of days to the US of A! I can't wait for school to start!

Thanks Jonny for your thoughtfulness, I'll definitely holler anytime =)

Ooh... and Jonny! You mean you actually checked out ZOUK?? ZOUK?? Tsk tsk... now TIS= Tainted Immaculate Saint...

Zouk was a horrible place to be at...

2004-08-15T11:54:00.000+08:00

Joses, being the chief safety is no easy task huh... Anybody keen on going for the Army Open House?

Hey, i was privileged enough to be selected as usher for the PM Swearing in at the Istana on thurs. You guys should have been there with me. Where i stood, the entire cabinet, Lee Hsien Loong, Goh Chok Tong, Lee Kuan Yew, S R Nathan went past. My, you should have checked out their bodyguards and their motorcade. The ambassadors too, came my way. The rich were chauffered right in front of me. I saw Khoo Swee Chow, the adventurer and our only Olympian Gold medallist. CDF walked past me, along with a number of generals with stars on their shoulder. Gosh, never before have i seen them in real life, let alone close up, having them just a few steps from me. The atmosphere was really solemn. As it proceded on, the level of patriotism in me increased. Ha.

Can you guess what disastrous consequences our country might suffer if something terrible happened on thurs night? The entire government was there in one place, packed with high ranking pple. If something happened then, singapore might not have a government the very next moment.

If only i had pics to show you guys... The setting was very beautiful. The ceremony took place out in the garden, with the istana set in the background. The evening sun, the cool breeze, and the scenic view of the CBD from the hilltop painted an awesome picture.

Ah, there was too much food leftover, so me and my guys helped cleared the pastries, the food, prepared by Meritus Mandrian...

If only i ushered, Zoe Tay and Fann Wong...

2004-08-12T21:33:00.000+08:00

2004-08-09T17:38:00.000+08:00

Ethel, we miss you. Take care and see you soon. Keep us updated of things. You can always count on us if you need prayer. Okay?

2004-08-09T17:37:00.000+08:00

Joses, tell us your blog's address....

2004-07-25T23:46:00.000+08:00

y'know, i was just thinking about how we're all such busy people and all. what with fq's fraternising with fellow government sponsored scholars and ethel's catching up with old friends and jon's army daze and cherie's foc and joses' army days and -huff puff that's a pretty long sentence to say-...

my point is, let's go eat supper. soon. will state a time soon, unless someone beats me to it -hint hint-

2004-07-23T00:37:00.000+08:00

Alas, I entered one entry but it was deleted, lost amongst the little clusters of 1s and 0s that is the bloody stupid #$%#$(^ computer! roar! I just came back from Medicamp, which is Medicine Camp, if you haven't figured it out already (yes it is redundant but i don't care!), and have a headache and weight loss of 2kg (which i originally put on during the previous week in China).

cherie-san! it turns out that as i was a guide for medicamp Fright Night, one of my herd (yep, herd.) happens to be from 00s74 and knows you and asks whether i'm jon or um... me. i think his name is qingyuan or something. so coincidental! he's in medicine now.

also on the coincidental part, fq, is the fact that victor and dennis (00s73) are now my juniors in the OG of which I am an OGL.

ethel it's been almost 7 months since we all last met. you must leave time for us before you leave. at the very least leave a video of yourself keeping us up to date with your latest happenings (your email is good, but you know, reading words on the screen just ain't the same)

ubin! ubin! ubin!

2004-07-18T15:25:00.000+08:00

Let's go ubin!

Ivan and Chin Ai will be leaving for the States shortly after National Day. Any ideas to bless thenm with?

2004-07-17T11:30:00.000+08:00

fq you international adorable girl, GIVE ME YOUR POPO HANDPHONE NO! as in, the one i can call in singapore. sorry, ive been in the middle of a church-wide 3-full-days youth conference that started on tuesday and hasnt ended yet. can we go out after?

2004-05-30T21:48:00.000+08:00

- Read Part 1 below first -

So that was Thursday.

Friday I hopped onto CPT Terence's car and we all had a good prata at (where else?) Jalan Kayu . Then we proceeded to Seletar Camp where the battalion retreat was to be. We played charades and intro-ed all round before heading down to serious discussion about Army Open House. BBQ dinner came, and then I got initiated.

Yeah, it's some silly military rite of passage. But I got it bad. I practically downed an entire 400ml bottle of Jack Daniels. I was wasted within 15 minutes. Which is not too bad. I think I showed 'em how well I could hold my drink. But several hapless ones got SMSed by me in my drunked stupor. Noteworhty, considering the fact that I couldn't even walk straight.

So much for the weekend.

2004-05-25T01:04:00.000+08:00

tommorrow is my last paper, but superbly scared about it as i am really lousy in it...yeah....but on the bright side i would be back on sunday muahahha....hahahah...
well not sure how it would be like in singapore...call this reverse fear of a change in environment....it was only 9 months ago when i thought that i would never manage to survive this place.

2004-05-14T21:07:00.000+08:00

nope, i was the luggage officer for the return flight. without me they couldn't even have left!

Well, bmtc's just the bottom of the well in the Army. Where I'm at, we're already going operational. If there's a war, I'm the one running around with a rifle. There's just SO MUCH stuff to get worried about.

But hey, ya gotta realise how imporatant the 3 months ya got with them are. You form the soldier they'll be for the next 2 years (and 15 more after that).

OK, ladies. enough NS talk. Let me tantalise you with more personal stories. I might be headed to US next year for uni. Gotta firm some stuff up first.

Mmm. this cone is yummy.

2004-05-12T18:38:00.000+08:00

hey josie,

nice to hear from you. I actually thought they left you behind in brunei. You're still full of crap!

Anyway, i successfully shared my experience to the j1 cohort this afternoon. Can't believe i managed to take only 10 min to share everything with them. I was supposed to stick to 5 min. I met Miss Wong in the main audit and asked her if she still remembered me. Initially she said i looked familiar but had difficulty connecting me with anything. It was only when i mention jiean did she begin to recall. I told her how we were the only two special dudes who never failed to sit in the front for all lectures. She also remembered us for giving her a bottle of wine on teacher's day. How nice it was her to remember us even though she never tutored us. Also met freddie who went back to play rugby... I really enjoyed myself. Wished i could have more time sharing with them my experience. I wanna go back to talk to them again. Btw, the cmpb coordinator, Miss Lim was really sweet and attractive...

2004-05-09T11:23:00.000+08:00

twenty. Y'know, ever since i was seventeen
I've always thought i've been alive for a long time already. Heh.

2004-05-08T21:31:00.000+08:00

hahah v funny...me married by twenty...you more like=P
hey thanks for the messages...really app it a lot. spent some time deciding whether to turn up for YAF in church yesterday, and in the end decided to go, as thought there was no better way to celebrate this day than to dedicate it to the Lord.

yeah i know anna received Christ, was talking to her the other day online. well pray that the other pp around us that are not saved yet would be so too=)

and wow jon! that is great! haha...well i think it would be fine lah army never fails to captivate=) well i would be going back to hc to talk to them abt overseas studies some time too=) erm the snake thing...hehe...kinda gross leh haha....well, it is really good meeting different pp from a different social strata, for it definitely helps in making one a more well rounded person.

yeah back to mugging...haha...3 more weeks and i would be home!

2004-05-08T11:43:00.000+08:00

happy belated birthday fq!

i cant believe youre twenty
i always thought youd be married by twenty

hahahaha

kisskiss

2004-05-08T01:22:00.000+08:00

It's still the 7th here in Nashville, so...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FQ~~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) =) =)

2004-05-07T00:26:00.000+08:00

Yo yo guys and gals. Just because I haven't been replying doesn't mean I haven't been eagerly lapping up the tasty information that you share on this blog. So don't stop, let your creative juices flow! I wish I had the gift of the gab too.

Anyway, today I felt inspired to have an entry purely for the purpose of saying...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FENG QIAN!!! Cheers to the big two zero!

2004-05-06T13:00:00.000+08:00

PRAISE THE LORD!!!

ANNABELLE RECEIVED CHRIST! You know, the Annabelle? The Annabelle who rejected Duke because she found it too religious? She decided to go to Boston University instead, but God still found her there!

It was so amazing how we met! I attending an intercessory conference organized by Morning Star International here in Nashville, and I met this Singaporean who is in Boston now. He went back to Boston and mentioned how he met me. And Annabelle got hooked up with me through William's blog!!

Wow, wow, and Annabelle has already got connected with the Morning Star Church in Singapore and is going with them on a retreat to Malacca! God has truly moved so powerfully in her life!! You know you know!

Wow, praise the Lord! Let's join the angels in heaven in rejoicing! Be encouraged and take heart guys! =)

2004-05-02T00:27:00.000+08:00

i once was lost
but now am found!

2004-05-01T15:06:00.000+08:00

I will be returning to hwa chong on 12th may wed to speak at the S cube security seminar. The audience: the entire J1 cohort in the main audit. Will they pay attention to me? Or will they conveniently fall asleep as students normally do. Will they disrespectfully do their tutorials when i speak or will they choose to avoid the front row so that they can do their stuff?

Well i was assigned by bmtc manpower branch to be the nsf officer guest speaker for this event. Purpose is to share with them all that i've experienced since Jan last year. Problem is that i'm not supposed to paint a rosy picture of ns life. How can i avoid it? After all, bmtc training is slack, and ocs training should be made tougher and intense. Physical training should be made more challenging and runs should span islandwide...

Actually now that i've spent 1 yr 4 mths in the army (1 yr to ORD), i realise how unique this experience is. Firstly it has nothing to do with books and tutorials, giving me a break from studying. I love the field, the jungle, the rugged terrain. Forget the air con classroom, cosy lecture theatres, the comfortable bed at home.Training got me mentally and physically exhausted, wore me out like never before. Mud and sweat covered me top down. I found out i could survive for 10 days without showering and brushing of teeth, same underwear could be worn for 5 days straight. I could survive with 24hrs ration for 10 days straight. Mosquitoes, scorpions, snakes and ants were my companions at night. Bulky equipment gave me the challenge to haul them over terrain and distance. Thunderstorms, the searing heat of day, and the thick of darkness made the army experience all the more interesting. I would prefer to be in Guards than in bmtc.

A few days ago, a small snake slithered it's way into my office, intending to take up residence in one of my cupboard drawers. Sadly it's luck was short lived. We caught it, tied its extreme ends and had it skinned top down. It's hide felt rubbery and elastic. Once it was skinned, we cut a slit beneath its throat for it to bleed. We decapitated it after cutting open it's body for a considerable distance. As a finale, my friend cut off it's gall bladder and immediately consumed it. It's body continued to move in spasms with its heart still beating for a while. Once it stopped, its carcass was conveniently discarded in the open field. The ants came and it was reduces to bones the very next morning. Interesting.

My new batch of recruits just came in for over a week now. This batch is made up of O level, N level and ITE students and school dropouts. Handling them is a real challenge because i have never dealt with them before. Many come from broken/divorced homes, have girlfriend problems, were former drug abusers and glue sniffers, have criminal records, spent 2 yrs in boys home, are in need of financial aid, suffered past injuries due to motor accidents, are smokers, having the tendency to go AWOL. I have come to see things in a new light. While we are preoccupied with scholarships, future job security and a successful future, they think only of how they can pay for their next meal and how to contribute to family income now that they will be earning less than before they enlist. Soon i'll be visiting the homes of pple applying for financial aid. Hope that i can help them meet their physical needs as well as their need for salvation.

2004-04-07T00:13:00.000+08:00

Just saw my friend off at the airport and in a pensive mood, it seems as though that I have been making my way down to airports too much for my own liking the past year. To some people it might seem that airports are gateways to new and exciting places, to me airports are places where one bids farewell to friends and family. Well on the bright side, the next time I go there should be when my parents come over after my exams, which are looming near. another one month and 11 days and I would be having my first paper. Sigh.

Aeronautical engineering in UMich is definitely a very good programme. Other good universities include UIUC, Caltech and Georgia Tech amongst others like the impossibly exclusive MIT. Please continue to pray about it, after all there are things which we definitely cannot see from our POV that the One above can see clearly. I have learnt to realise in this past year that sometimes things that seem good at first glance might not be so and vice versa. Like going overseas...home has never seemed as inviting as it does from here.

Having an Easter camp in church this weekend, hopefully it would be able to recharge my batteries and let me reflect on the place that God occupies in my life. I don't really feel myself growing in my spiritual walk here though I am serving this church here...sigh. And I have a devotion to prepare for the camp, hopefully I would be able to think of something that god wants me to talk about to the rest of the fellowship.

Yes time really flies, I have emerged older, hopefully wiser, and the better for the experience. Wonder how it would be when I see all of you again back in Singapore. In the meantime, I'll be praying for all of you. Take care brothers and sisters in Christ.

2004-04-04T12:27:00.000+08:00

"Hi Sis Marina,
Great to hear from you. University of Michigan at
Ann-arbor is definitely a very good school! It is
recently ranked 3rd, only after MIT and Georgia
Institute of Technology in Aerospace Engineering! I
dont have the latest rankings on ME or EE but it has
overall a very good engineering program. If he can get
a overseas scholarship, I would think it's a great
opportunity. "

My mum kindly helped me inquire more abt aero engineering in the US and this was the reply she received...

I should be thankful for the local scholarship given by dsta to do Electrical engineering locally but my real desire is to be awarded an oversease scholarship from Singapore Technologies Aerospoace. Sadly this is the only thing missing cos i already have a place secured in the University of Michigan and it's waiting for me to complete my national service... Would my dream materialise? For now, i guess i will need to learn how to be contended with whatever blessings i have at this point of time.

Just returned from a 4 day chalet getaway in sentosa with my company instructors. THis was done for the sake of bonding between instructors. We had fun but what was lacking was the sun and the the beautiful pple...haha!

Good friday and easter's coming... hope you all would have a wonderful time reflecting what took place 2004 yrs ago on the the cross. Because of the call of duty, i'll be spending good friday on tekong ensuring nothing goes wrong there.

Pray especially for JOSES AND HIS TWIN BRO as they will be in brunei for 2 wks of jungle training.

Time really flies, one year ago, i entered OCS. One yr later, i'm giving advice to one guy in church who will be entering tmr... He would have 10.5 mths ahead of him to clear

2004-04-02T04:01:00.000+08:00

okay haha....well erm i have not watched that show yet. have to round up pp to watch with me.
well my trip was fraught with interesting things....my travel companion had a mysterious lung infection and had to be sent to A&E twice in two days. now see how lor.

well cao-mugging now too....argh so little time to exams....sigh....and i have more stuff than a levels to study by far. snort.

yep take care folks...

2004-03-30T15:14:00.000+08:00

YOU HAVE TO WATCH THE PASSION. that's all my tired mind can come up with right now at 1:14am. I love and miss you guys, stay strong in the Lord! And oh, congrats Cherie! Hehe

2004-03-28T22:25:00.000+08:00

exams are in four days, and i am surfing the net, playing gunbound and drinking beer.
none of which is very conducive for studying, even though I have a Marks, Marks & Smith Basic Medical Biochemistry book in front of me right now.
alas i feel failure coming.
aiyee woe is me!

jon, you seem to have developed a knack for putting things so well! don't you wish you were stomping around in the mud once again, searching every square inch of that island for three completely moronic robbers who trapped themselves on an island where there is no population to blend in with and no food to eat (sorry, combat rations aren't considered 'edible')?

fq! i am jealous of your gallivanting around UK enjoying good views and everything. the only view i have is of the library cubicle walls... oh wait... who's that walking by... -drool drool-... oh right, as i was saying jon & cherie both get views of shaven men in green running around with guns! if only.

i have really nothing to say... back to gunb... the books.

2004-03-24T11:57:00.000+08:00

jon you are getting nuttier than squirrel shit.

but i must declare it an improvement! by the way ah, i think the armed robbers are terrified of you bloodthirsty military hounds, rather than vice versa. FQ I MISSES YOU i dont update here cos i have my own blog space - http://orangeelectric.blogspot.com. what what what have YOU been up to you international naughty girl! when the blazes are you coming back? oh and ethie, your life sounds adventurous. keep the updates coming, yus?

exams and unfinished projects are catching up on me. meanwhile, bearboy and i finally have blessings from my new cell leader, so we're going official. yes, that was a long time coming, and its all more complicated than quanyi's bowel movements.

the passion of christ movie has been rated M18, for the under-informed. going to watch it, everyone?

darlinks, when are we gonna meet up? go lim kopi, yus?

2004-03-24T06:10:00.000+08:00

jon you are getting crappier.

well but i have been reading abt this thingy as well from scotland (i am having my hols now hehe) and i guess it must be really exciting from where you are. though i would say that visiting loch ness and looking at breathtaking scenery at the northern-most part of UK with blue seas plunging cliffs and azure skies beats that anyday.

well hope that all of you are fine...wish i could talk to you all some time and catch up with all of you....find out how you all have been doing. esp since none of you have been updating of late=P

take care guys=)

Armed robbers on Pulau Tekong

These past few days in BMTC has been the most exciting days BMTC has and will ever experience. Three armed robbers fled Johor via a motorised sampan after robbing a vegetable seller when pursued by the cops. They left Malaysian waters and entered our territory in the wee hours of thurs morning. Since Tekong was the nearest land mass they could find, seeking refuge on Tekong was the obvious choice.

Because they entered the country illegally, the police coast guard became involved. Because they trespassed SAF training ground, commandos, ADF, gurkhas and the air force became involved. Because this was the biggest news to ever concern Tekong except for the usual heat related incidents and ill treatment of service personnel incidents, the media became involved. Suddenly the quiet and forgotten island off Singapore became the place to be to witness all these action where 700 personnel were tasked to seek out these intruders. Sadly they failed to recognise my talent and did not summom me to participate in this operation..

Choppers (Super puma and UH 1H) came and landed frequently on the soccer field in our stadium. I had the delight of pulling out my handy camera and take snap shots of choppers flying overhead me. Usually choppers only visit us during emergencies.

Life in NS has never been so "on the edge" as now. All along we've been undergoing training and more training, now it is real operations that require us to put our training to practice. Recruits were made to stay within the confines of the camp for safety cos they were ill equipped to deal with this situation.

As on now, they only succceded in capturing one of the three armed robbers.

Apart from this incident, i also get to admire the process of land reclamation off the island. I've noticed that work continues on thru the night to meet the increasing demands of land space for training. One week ago, the area belonged to the sea, now they are dry land. A real feat of engineering ingenuity - i must say!

2004-02-03T17:19:00.000+08:00

yep it is! fantastic guy is he not=) well it is good in that among the pp here there are so many christians....though we don't go to the same church now as i said the last time i go to this BP church that is really really small...haha...

hmm...okay...well the reason that it is so special to you Jonathan is cause you have put in so much effort, and this time has moulded you into a more mature person and all right...the process that is so memorable does not change okay? yes it is nice to have a good commissioning parade, but think about it, the only reason it is so special is because of the process. the means are sometimes more significant than the ends...it might sound really bad but i don't know how to put it in a nicer way.

okay...you could try www.ofoto.com too if you want. it is the online free kodak site.

hp number...okay my singtel card is no longer in my ohone but still in commission....uk phone line is (44) 7733358748...aiyah you just offline icq me lah. i am always there on invis anyway.

2004-02-02T14:12:00.000+08:00

Hey hey hey!!

FQ! I've got a question for you! The Charles you mentioned on your blog - oh my, is he Charles Ng? The ACS(I)/ACJC really amazing Christian guy! Help me say hi and wow, he's one man I really respect man! I mean, if he is really who I think he is, you're real lucky to have him around! He'll definitely be a great person to spur you on in your Christian walk! =)

Jon, hey dude, don't fret. I think many times God allows stuff to go wrong to break us of our need for things to go right. Ya know, just let go... some stuff are really not so important =) Even memories, as much as I really cherish them - and I know you are a huge "memory-person" too - but God may just take them away too.

And with regards to the pictures... I upload my pictures to "www.shutterfly.com" and I create tons of photo albums there for various occasions. After which, on shutterfly, I click on the function they have - "Share" - and I actually get a url for my photo/album. You can just simply give the url to your friends, otherwise, you can take it a step further and create a website.

For me, I created my website on tripod. You don't need to know html to create a site, they have the "site builder" which is very easy to use. So, if you wana share your photo albums like I do, use the urls of your photo albums that I mentioned above and add them onto your webpage in any way you want to! Tip: Use the "Add a link" function.

Hope that helps! God loves us dudes and babes! =)

2004-02-02T10:57:00.000+08:00

Ethel, how do you create an online photo gallery for others to view, like the one you linked to your blog?

Hey Fq, what's your hp number? Received your web sms but dunno your number to reply

2004-02-02T10:22:00.000+08:00

The parade could have been more memorable if not for the fact that my parents had difficulty finding me on the parade square. My 2nd LT epaulette ranks were supposed to be placed on my shoulders by my parents, signifying that they have played a large part in my 10.5 mths of officer training. Instead they were hastily placed by my Airforce friend in the colour party. For a large part of the time where pple around me had friends and relatives surrounding them taking good pics, i stood there in sedia looking like a fool as if my parents had decided to abandon me. That spoiled the occasion. I was supposed to be happy tossing my cap, but because they ruined the occassion, i only went thru the movements. I was filled with anger instead of happiness.

That wasn't the only let down...Because my parents only found me at the very last moment they missed the tossing of caps cos they were on their way off the parade square back to their seats. They also failed to collect the commissioning booklet i wanted so much for memories sake.

Apart from that i really enjoyed being in the parade every second of it. In calculation, every 14.2 sec represented a day in OCS. I loved the fact that i was wearing my ceremonial no. 1 uniform just this once and never again will i wear it. I have with me pics of the parade. You all must come and see...

My life as an officer in BMTC begins next sunday. I've already thought of how things will be like there. I realised that being in BMTC, i would be seeing a lot of my church youth pple who will be passing thru its jetty as recruits and that includes my brother who will face up to my wrath next year for all the mean things he did to me... Haha

Another thing i've been thinking about, should we live a life of paranoia or of total indifference? My mum avoids eating chicken cos of bird flu and insists that we do the same. She abstains from drinking new water during my commissioning parade. During the SARs outbreak she almost bought masks to protect herself. No eating of beef cos of madcow disease. I should not study in US cos of terrorism lurking there. Well she has a point when she says its better safe than sorry.... But somehow i still chose to live as normal eating what i want, and doing what i normally do

2004-01-31T09:30:00.000+08:00

hey=)

well there are activities here aplenty, but cause there are so many singaporeans here. growing fat here haha....not....well but really it is cny that gets me missing home so much.

2004-01-25T04:20:00.000+08:00

Hey hey guys!

Ah, I apologize, it's just been so busy here; it's the first week of school! Sigh, it's so sad, there are no CNY festivities over here at all; you can totally forget about it!

Anyway, congrats JON and JOSES!!! Haha, I'm not exactly sure what commisioning means, but it must be a huge step in your NS life! Thank God for bringing you guys through the past year of NS training and I trust that even at the commisioning, both of you will hear from God saying: These are my soldiers, whom I am well-pleased with. =)

I really wish I could be there, but know that my spirit will be with y'all. And it's real cool that Quanyi and Cherie are going to be at the commisioning ball! Haha, so fun!

Hey FQ, what's your blog add again ah? Sorry, I forgot =(

Oh well, I'm really enjoying school and working hard. And just thought I let you guys know some good news - I made the Dean's list last semester. Praise God for that! =)

My mind is just being stretched sooo much!

2004-01-19T15:04:00.000+08:00

Not to rub it in...
-rub rub rub-

It's Chinese New Year! Yay! Yay! Yay!
Gong Xi Fa Cai Wan Shi Ru Yi Sticky Sticky Got Fish and all that!

Due to clever repositioning of our tutorials and an accomodating professor (who probably also wants the day off) we have no school on [chinese] new year's eve. Anyway, I know weiliang and I will be going back to school for the street market. Hai. Remember our stall? And how we made the green "grass" roof? It was really nice. I think I have the photos somewhere in my drawer.

Oops sorry I almost forgot that we're not all from the same class. Anyway. It is 9 days to Jonathan's commisioning parade. Sir! He'll be able to mould the next batch of defenders of our nation at BMTC. Go go jon! Not to mention have enough time to do all kinds of other things. So it's still a good thing eh jon? FQ's brother was at BMTC right?

Speaking of which I met him as he was walking back to hall and I was walking to PGP at NUS. Apparently he had just finished playing basketball at PGP basketball courts.

Yep. Work hard FQ! I know I am trying... but not too hard of course. Must always learn to relax... I know it's hard for high flyers but still... Go go FQ!

2004-01-18T23:53:00.000+08:00

grrarh.

terrible first week of school. got back essay and was much worse than what i had expected. as in i knew it was going to be bad but still i did not expect anything less than a second upper sigh...
so now no choice but to whack and work really really hard...sigh. yesterday we had this chinese new year thingy (cause unlike the lucky folks at home we have school that day) and i reached home at 7 in the morning. nuff said...mahjong cards movies pool table tennis you name it we had it...now brain dead haha=)

2004-01-16T20:31:00.000+08:00

What has happened to this blog? Why don't we have those extremely fascinating theological arguments that tend to get out of hand? Why don't people paste more silly stuff. I shall give an example.

Today I found a very amusing growth under my left armp... Um... Never mind.

I have CA 7 on pelvis and perineum tomorrow. It might not be a good thing, but I now know internal and external genitalia inside out. Really. Histology and everything. As well as the entire darn urinary system and anal recto bit. Now I know why people who are so darn anal-retentive are grumpy. It's no pleasant thing, I assure you.

Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Let's all go and visit each other's houses. Overseas people not included, sorry.

2004-01-08T04:55:00.000+08:00

hmm have never been a fan for beer anyway.

hmm i am in the process of getting my laptop to work since it has been pretty belligerent in recent days ( i am using school comp now) and once that is done will upload all the pics and invite you pp to see...yeps.

2004-01-06T00:34:00.000+08:00

BEER

there's a new drink called Touch� it's beer brewed with Champagne yeast. supposed to be marketed as a ladies' drink. don't know why i mention it, but it tastes quite nice, i think. just felt like mentioning it. hurhurhur.

by the way jon, my senior says go unit, go guards because you will get to understand how the entire SAF works faster than if you were in infantry which is quite crap anyway. so yes go unit, go guards. he also says that staff work SUCKS.

we'll see you at comms parade.

2004-01-01T08:32:00.000+08:00

hi guys!

well have been mia for a while gallivanting through scandinavia...not as cold as i expected really...when i was in iceland...it was like 6 degrees which is even warmer than in london...it was quite cold in stockholm though...well yes christmas it was snowing but there were also 2 shops open in the whole christmas city as everyone takes their christmas seriously there ( yes even the mac's and stuff). if not for the 2 pizzerias operated by muslims we would have starved to death. well wetook a side trip to estonia which was really pretty...really REALLY pretty that is...so i think i would want to go there again some time.

well apart from that it is back to the daily grind of writing essays due next week...and well all of us are going through interesting times aren't we? well everyone has to make imortand decisions from time to time, as long as you are convinced that at the pt of time of making the decision you made the best one apparent at that time than leave the rest to God. well i have not even taken basic theory...so erm...haha...and tiger is available in estonia even...haha.

2003-12-24T13:01:00.000+08:00

Hey pple!! Won't be coming online tomorrow, so thought i'd just drop a message now to all of you just to say MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR! Have a blessed Christmas!!!

Love ya all,
Clara

2003-12-19T18:43:00.000+08:00

I'm almost done with my cadet platoon commander tour that has lasted 3 weeks. During this period of time, i really got a good taste of how difficult it is to manage and take chare of my peers. I also got to see for myself how selfish and mean people can be. Try asking for people to volunteer themselves for "sai kang" and you'll rarely get any response. Arrow an individual and he'll get frustrated at you. Often times i would take up my guitar to spend time in worship casting all my frustrations to God, believing that this period of struggle will eventually make me stronger and a more effective leader in the future.

Now's also the time where i have to decide on the kind of vocation i want to be in after i commission ( by the way commissioning would be on 28 jan 04 by the president). Should i sign on? Go for commando conversion? haha, unfortunately i don't share in jenming's desire to sign on as an sms commando scholar... I've got three choices, command, staff, or instructional vocation. i've always detested in taking up command in the unit but recently i feel drawn to it partly because i want to inspire my men during my NSF days. And under command, i have three choices in mind. infantry PC, Guards PC, support company PC. Would guards want me? Would i be good enough for them? I'll leave God to have his way in this major decision making junction.

Merry Christmas to everyone. Hey FQ, the experience of a snowing chirstmas really brings out the mood right? How's Scandinavia?

Ethel, will you be bringing us christmas presents from US?

2003-12-12T21:09:00.000+08:00

okay this might seem a tad slow to you people, but I've finally started learning to drive! yay me! it is kind of harder than I hoped it would be, so if anyone wants to volunteer to chauffeur me around Singapore for the rest of my life, I am willing! I'm not picky, of course, those that want to chauffeur me to Malaysia or elsewhere are also welcome to apply, provided they aren't kidnappers, of course.

It is the holiday season! Yippeedeedooda!

In this holiday season, drink responsibly. Don't drink and drive.

Incidentally, this is how I rate beer: Carlsberg, Heineken, Guiness = Good. Tiger = Bad

Health benefits everyone!

2003-12-04T01:56:00.000+08:00

hullo my far-flung brethren!
many things. i think ive endured some interesting shit that would mortify all of you if i dared to explain, and yknow what, i even managed to mortify myself. i never came to terms with the actuality that i am a person capable of great evil, but now i see how fallen indeed is the human nature. haha. i also learnt that guilt is the seed of despair, which is a terrible, lonely and hopeless thing - i understand it to be the antithesis of faith. i discover that my secret is my prison. some days ago, i was at a mall with quanyi and liang, and i looked down at my hands and saw that they were covered in blood. i wiped them on my berms but the blood wouldnt come off. CAN YOU SEE THERES BLOOD ON MY HANDS, i said to quanyi and liang, but they couldnt see it at all. no blood what, your hands are clean, they told me. but my hands were really bloody, only noone else could see it except me. and so, i felt terribly lonely.

how far does the forgiveness extend? when a desperately believing but unrepentent sinner (one who sins despite knowledge of the truth) dies, may he still hope to be recieved into arms mightier than those of his family or friends? these questions are rhetorical, dont answer. heh.

He continues to bless me with good.
im working hard at church and cell group, where i am soon to become cell assistant and guitarist for the new cell. it is fun to serve God!
i also admit, with some resignation, to have fallen into what is the subject of 1cor13's dissertations. he rocks, and we wanna grow old and become toothless together. haha. but we wait, and hope, because level of spiritual maturity not equal, and The Discipler is adamantly opposed. His discipler hasnt said anything yet, but everyone knows, cos we're both in the same cell group. interesting? hurhur. this is actually stale news, but dont need to hide from you guys lah i think.

i miss you fq ethel jon madman and josie

2003-11-24T04:44:00.000+08:00

2003-11-23T21:24:00.000+08:00

I'm back, back from brunei and back with my JCC badge! I'm really glad i had this opportunity to train in brunei cos the toughness made me stronger. The experience of jungle survival really taught me alot. Throw me in the Amazon and i'll survive there fine, take away my food supply and i can resort to living off the land. But one thing you must not take away, my powder and my matches. They keep me warm and dry. We walked and swam thru rivers, fell into mud pool, saw snakes and scorpions, endured the daily rain and cold. Out of the 21 days in brunei, i spent 15 days outfield, something i've never done before.

Though i was spared from the ill fortune that struck fq's brother and mates, i was not spared from the mild foot rot that is due to soggy boots worn for the entire duration. Observe me now and you'll see me hobbling in pain. Now i gotta restrain myself from running around during these few days of off in lieu.

Hey jenming, i too miss those days where we could do weights, run and do pull ups together. I'm determined to pick them all up again after commissioning. Are you participating in the Standard chartered marathon run?

Ethel, i'm really glad that God has been so faithful to you, teaching you new things each day. Sometimes i wonder why do i not have such lasting periods of spiritual renewal? Anyway hope to see you soon. Btw how do i send out sms from here to US?

Fq, may i know your blog add?

2003-11-23T19:19:00.000+08:00

hi guys...well life is fine now i guess.. the only thing that keeps me happy now is the countdown to the hols...three weeks...and three essays still...i cleared one round and the other round came in sigh...miss all you pp really...it is just so different...and cell and church are just so different...miss the times in the morning where we would just dedicate the time to God...the evening cells are all so dead cause everyone is tired...yep...sigh...And i overslept for church. Argh.

2003-11-21T23:03:00.000+08:00

aiyo, you know, it's so difficult to get a good buddy to run with and talk with and do weights with. miss the good ol' days. jonathan! why aren't you in medicine with me! why! growl.

2003-11-20T12:21:00.000+08:00

hey all! greetings from Nashville! I apologize that I've simply been too busy. But God is awesome in my life! Well, life is tough.. but just hang in there guys.. hope to see y'all sooN! LOVE YA! :)

2003-11-12T01:57:00.000+08:00

i am struggling in my position now in law, life is busy, i've been walking hard, it's hard to organise events, people can be b-----ds, i've not watched a single movie here, and unsurprisingly, i don't feel particularly corrupted. bianca is in oxford and i am waiting for her to get bored with oxford so that she could come and visit me again, or to bring me stuff from singapore when she comes back in january. haven't met up with her for a week, much less the local folk. saw a few musicals, i wish i still had enough money. other than that, still have lots to say. miss you all.

sorry jen ming but i could not resist...haha...i have fallen sick 3 times in 6 weeks and counting...and apparently i have shrunk in terms of girth which is very bad. well life is life here...the weeks have passed faster than i had thought they would, 4 and a half more weeks and i'll be in scandinavia...haha...but for now i have 3 stupid essays to churn out. and lots of other stuff on top of them to do. sigh. but having lots of fun church hopping around here, there are really so many churches to look around for...narrowed my choice down to two but have to attend a few more before i make my final choice. yep take care pp...

2003-11-08T01:06:00.000+08:00

i am comfortable in my position now in medicine. life is busy, i've been training hard, it's hard to organise events, people can be bastards, i've watched more R(A) films than ever before, and unsurprisingly, i don't feel particularly corrupted. i think censorship is overrated. jonathan is in brunei and i'm waiting for him to return and soon attend his ceremony in january. haven't met up with cherie in ages, much less the overseas folk. saw xingzhe a few times, i wish he still had apple cheeks. other than that, nothing much to say. miss you all.

2003-10-26T02:11:00.000+08:00

well though i can't say life has been great here i can say that i am stable. that is more than i could say for myself before i left. jonathan since it has come and passed just accept it...i know that what i say here does not help at all but just hope that you know that there are pp who would be happy if you are okay, and that everything happens for a reason, take it as part of God's plan to make you grow to the person that you are meant to be.

2003-10-23T20:41:00.000+08:00

Can i say life is great? I just got charged cos of negligence dischargeand am serving RP in camp for 17 days. Because of thisi am not entitled to book out at all and must report to Ops roon every hour after a long march. Joses knows how terrible the feeling is cos he's been thru it too. On top of that, i was made to "sign 7 extras" for the misplacement of map bringing the total number of extras to 10 since i came into ocs. This simply means that 7 more weekend days will be spent in camp. Yeah i guess ocs will be remembered as the time my weekends were stolen from me.

i'm messed up. No one else in my wing can ever come close to my list of burnt weekends and extra duties. I'm the champ. What an achievementv indeed

That were the sentiments i had when the verdict was made known to me. Well now i've gotten over the "hate the army and ocs" mentality and am now seeing it as a time of moulding and shaping by our Creator. By spending my weekends in camp, i am determined to do more quiet time and reflections.

Brunei is waiting for me as i fly off again on 2 Nov till 23 Nov...then when i return i'll clear my extras. Jungle survival and navigation will be what the course there entails. Though life now might be hard for me, at least i know that i'll commission in 13 weeks time.

Everyone's busy and all over the place. Really wonder how you all are doing. Take care and hope to hear from you all.

Well... I guess I should be cancelling my Starhub no. soon 'cos I have no use for it. But I don't have a hp here 'cos they require me to pay a US$500 deposit which is insane!

2003-09-24T16:43:00.000+08:00

FQ: prob u shd consider shipping the less impt stuff over?? or maybe u'd want to find someone who doesn't have that many things to go with you? so u can share the weight?? But i guess it's easier said than done..... Or come back in Dec n then bring them over if they're not urgent?? Dunno. these are just some suggestions i have......most of which are quite useless la........ nevertheless, it may just help...... Btw, when u leaving??

2003-09-22T22:02:00.000+08:00

2003-09-19T12:32:00.000+08:00

Oh well thinking this is the end is so wrong cos i'll be flying off to Brunei beginning Nov for three weeks of jungle survival. Don't miss me if i love brunei so much that i decide to stay on....

hey man, speaking for joses, he's alive and well just occassionally grumpy and reclusive when he gets grumpy. Haha..He's posted to combat engineers, same as lester. They will be leaving ocs safti for professional training in another camp. Well his dream has always been armoured infantry cos lucas is training to be a specialist, sergeant there and joses hoped that he will be able to bully lucas upon commissioning. He's just so evil...what a naughty boy!

I'll be staying and my room mate will no longer be lester. Instead he will be a guy one year younger than me. For your info, i'll be going taiwan to train for three weeks. Approx date of departure, 20th sep.

Who's sending ethel off>? Right now there's me, william, fq....joses told me he'll be there hope he does not back out as usual
