FINALS!!!! THEY AR

CONFERENCE




CHAMPIONS!!!



i tot these guys will nv do it again since shaquille o neal left the lakers in 2004.. but durin the season they emerge topped in the western conference and its like hope is renewed within them.. and hope is found when they keep winnin.. and the dream.. i pray.. will become a reality.. when they stand strong and win the NBA playoffs.. now its jus 1 more step.. and they'll become the world basketball chamipons..




scrawny.. spectacled.. spendthrift..

this was prob wat i am durin my poly days..

durin yr 1.. i was so into spendin.. i boguht all the things tt money can buy.. but there's always things tt money cant buy.. and tt is the love of God.. and so yr 1.. i followed my short friendzz named angie 2 church.. and 1 mth later i gave my heart 2 Jesus and from tt on.. i experienced quite a change of life..

at tt time the church was in jurong west.. sometimes i hav 2 travel all the way there by train until i realized tt there's shuttle bus 2 bring me there.. but still the shuttle buses hasn't realli save my costs overall.. 6 mths after i joined the church i enrolled into tuition ministry and travellin from church 2 cg on sat could cost quite abit.. and tt time i was convinced by pastor's offerin msgs 2 give.. despite all the slanders tt the church tithes and takes $$ from the ppl i still belive tt wat im givin is givin it unto the LORD.. and i always giv my best.. $2 is wat i always giv.. and its realli much more then wat i gave durin other kinds of donations..

so between yr 1 and yr 2.. im always givin and persecutions ar always comin.. i rem there ar weeks where i jus hav less than 10 dollars when i go 2 church.. after payin my tithes and offerings it became much lesser.. but its jus enuff 4 me 2 buy a bowl of wanton noodles which costs me $2.. some days when i hav abit more $$ i would treat myself 2 a better meal.. like xiao wan mian.. or kwey chap.. hahahah.. there ar days where i hav 2 drink the soup tt comes wif the wanton noodles coz i hav no xtra $$$ 2 buy drinks.. and so after svc i usu head home.. i do not hang ard 2 see if we could go anywhere but i jus follow those who ar goin home 2 go home..

amd God is a gddd God.. in 2005 when i was somewhere ard yr 2 and 3 i found a part time job which aided me in my daily expenses.. and from tt on i hav $$$ 2 buy drinks and eat xiao wan mian and laksa or even kway chup.. hahaha.. then when we shifted 2 expo i didnt realli hav much financial probs here and there.. esp tt yr when my attachment job earns me 800 per mth which coz some "discontent" and "jealousy" among my poly mates.. and after i grad i found temp jobs.. and then NS i dun hav much financial probs.. and my daes jus go on peacefully jus like tt..

nowadays when i see our cg hav financial probs here and there i jus tot of those daes when i was "poor".. and how God paved my way from lack 2 jus enuff 2 more than enuff.. i jus wan 2 encourage those who ar strugglin wif daily expenses and pocket $$: believe God wif all ur heart tt u'll reap abundance.. do not despise ur offerings and tithes.. and dun even tink of skippin them.. pay ur tithes and offerings faithfully.. God is not mocked.. 4 watever we sow we reap..

and then eventually.. jobs will come our way.. when we dilligent seek 4 part time jobs or holidae jobs we'll eventually find them.. students!! be encouraged greatly!!




yes!! the news of my csm not being ard 4 these 2 daes realli perked me up.. it seems like my morale shoot up 2 200%.. whee~~!!!

and our new 2ic is finally here 2 settle and speak.. he spoke and i knew tt things ar gonna b the same.. or mayb even worse.. i dunno.. aniwae if the welfare's gettin worse.. i'll jus hav 2 endure 4 abt 2-3 mths.. then after tt if the welfare continues 2 go down the drain.. it's realli NONE OF MY BUSINESS ALREADY~~~ hahahaha..

well the funni thing is after he talked 2 the coy this mornin after our 4km run he's off.. and 4 the rest of the dae the whole coy didn't feel like doin anythin..

aniwae it realli doesn't concern me much.. nowadays i've been mindin my own business.. as long there ar plenty of nites out... plenty of break in camp.. plenty of freedom.. tt's wat i realli cared abt.. then the comds cared abt their ORD date.. every min tt passed is a min closer 2 their ORD.. lolzz..

i cant believe tt 9 comds actualli volunteered themselves 2 join our coy.. to me its sucidal.. one of my fellow specs sae tt it's crazy.. or rather.. they ar crazy.. i suspected they were somehow "psycho-ed 2 volunteer".. therefore it shows how impt wat u wan in life.. u wan a easi goin and stable life in the rest of ur daes in NS or a "come-wat-may" life is all in the power of oneself's decision..

so after tomolo when the new comds there'll b plenty of work 2 do.. i tink.. firstly the CSM is gonna do his usual "fishin" style and catch the comds like a fish.. the bait could b more "attractive" than usual and after the comds got the hook.. tt's when they realized tt their lives could b in "jeopardy".. hahaha.. all the best fishes.. at least 4 the nxt 1 yr or so..

tomolo's gonna b an easi dae.. and hopefully i'll b able 2 book out after lunch!!

i jus love duets.. if lets sae the album of this artist is like so-so onli.. i would consider listenin 2 the track where he singz wif another artist.. tt way it'll prob bring out the best in him/her.. but here ar the 2 i recently heard and appreciated.. enjoy..

oh yahzz.. perhaps i should blogg more abt music.. lolzz..

运动、祷告、读圣经。

这是昨天我所要办的三件事。

我能够了解这是神的旨意，要我在身体和灵魂上有良好的锻炼。但直到昨天下午，我仍然赖着不做。心里总觉得 “太辛苦了”，甚至脑后不断地发出 “算了吧，这又何必呢？”，“改天再做吧” 等等讯息。于是我心里有一个非常极大的挣扎，不知如何是好。

但为了提升我对圣语的认识，只好埋头苦干。再次温习所有圣经的书名，还有继续“苦读”箴言，因为箴言是个智慧书，读了箴言就能够打好我对华文圣语的基础。花了大概二十分钟，终于读完了五章箴言，还喘了一口气。

我心里很想练球，昨日一直往篮球场来回，场上不见一个踪影，心中十分忧闷。然后想了一阵子，就决定不管有没有人在打，自己一定要练球做运动。终于在下午五点半左右，我拿起篮球前往篮球场。一到那边就发现已有几个中学生在那里打球。但他们似乎没有认真的打，我也对他们的球技毫无兴趣。

日以西沉，又到我疲累的时候了。我不肯罢休，一定要与神会话。我就开始敬拜，用方言祷告。不知不觉已过了二十分钟。当时眼帘已经似乎不能再开了，但我身体竟能够持续。我就在那里祷告，同时享受圣灵的同在。完毕时，我完全不能睁开眼睛，感觉十分难受，但我也不管了，因为我真的要睡了。

加拉太第五章十七节说：因为情欲和圣灵相争，圣灵和情欲相争，这两个是彼此相敌，使你们不能做所愿意做的。所以关键就在我们手上，我们一定要让圣灵取得这胜利。




昨日组长心血来潮，在小组聚会上用点华文来讲道。聚会之后，他要求我在下周的聚会上做他的翻译员。说也奇怪，我也毫不犹豫地答应了。

实不相瞒，我在当兵的时候很少用华文，往往与英文参杂。在台湾训练时，每当遇到台湾的士兵我会一边比手划脚，一边与他们沟通。沟通时我的字语也含糊不清，但幸好他们都能够了解我要说的话。我总觉得单单使用华文沟通真的不容易，应为新加坡的文化就是那么参杂，我们的语言也随着文化一起参杂。

在理工学院时，所读的科目皆是英文。唯有“华文商业” 这项科目时由北京大学的教授教导。虽然是中国教授，但他在课堂上大部分用英语来教。而且他“枪法不乱”，竟能说出一口流利的英语，令我感到非常惊讶。此外，若想在这科目取得高分实在不易。需要研究中国经济，行情，商业文化，也要懂得写公函。其格式需非常整齐，不容有丝毫的差异。最困难的是演讲及发表意见和看法。我也不知道自己怎么挨过这项课目。

或许我的华文与一般人不同。现代社会只讲白话文，有些人连白话文都不懂，只知道自己在讲华文就是了。但我所积极追求的却是文言文。不知道两个的分别吗？其例如下：


文言文：兄长别来无恙呼？吾在家中十分挂念兄长。。
白话文：哥哥还好吗？我在家很想你。。


文言文很有艺术味吧？听起来好像在作诗，不过想要了解的话就比较难了。反而文言文听起来比较粗俗，却能容易了解。

也许小时候在学校总觉得自己的华语欠佳，没有像同学们的好。刚好那时候爸爸买了《三国演义》的书，虽然起初看不懂书中的意思，但自己也下了决心去学。后来，所有的华文功课及作文引起了老师的注意。虽然引目成功，当构造和思想不能好好的连接起来，以至成绩不曾理想。

如今我将要做的是翻译神的讯息，这次不是为了炫耀，而是为了我们的中国朋友能够享受讯息上的蒙福。。




so mani things had happened last few daes in camp.. there ar gddd and there ar some tt ar baddd.. but watever it is.. i decided i'll change my mindset abt things..

the past few daes im jus buildin my prayer life.. and despite the fact tt i had so mani worries.. and so mani things tt i had in mind.. i had jus felt so confident tt i'll b alrite.. i'll move on and progress in life..

and i realize.. i could live life in a more worthy manner..

there ar like ups and downs tt came 2 me 4 the past few daes.. but my prayer builds confidence.. and when there's confidence there's hope.. i hav been lifftin my head up highh nowadays whenever i go.. i realize my positivity brings a gddd image 2 my superiors and 2 the men.. it used 2 b tt im always passive and sulkin and they jus dun like wat they see and hear.. but now it seems tt the atmosphere had changed since i build my prayer life and i keep on thinkin positively tt it'll b such a glorious joy the dae i ORD..

haha.. it seems so long.. abt 3.5 mths.. butim already upbeat on my future..

however it seems tt i made a few mistakes here and there.. in the past i used 2 worry and kept thinkin wat would hav been if i did better and manage it in a better way.. but now i'll jus let the tot go by coz i noe deep down i already knew wat 2 do in the future..

then there's some tough trainin goin in camp 4 the past few daes.. i jus stay active durin those trainin and remain positive durin the trainin.. at some pt of time i knew tt tt's all i can take.. but i jus pushed on.. i noe im weak in some areas in the trainin but i jus attempted them instead of runnin away from them.. i noe tt i had 2 b brave esp when i wan 2 overcome and improve.. and i did.. and the trainin felt gdd.. though there were aches here and there.. but i knew i made the 1st step 2 overcome my fears.. now wat i hav 2 do is 2 improve and progress..

last but not least.. the positive image would not b complete without a smile.. and im smilin more already..




this is supposed 2 b a long weekend!! i jus felt tt it passes so fast and nxt mornin im gonna return 2 camp already..

all the commanders (except me) in bravo ar already singin their ORD songz.. clearin their leave and some had already ORD-ed.. and mine is sept~~ arghhhhh!! sometimes i regretted not able 2 enlist earli.. but aniwae there ar pros and cons too.. so its not too bad after all..

but aniwae.. this longgg weekend is realli fasttt!!

and recently i felt tt i get tired easily.. whenever i jus lie down on the beddd i'll b fast asleep and the nxt thing i noe few hrs would jus pass by jus like tt.. be it in camp or at home.. its all the same..

ohhh and i bought a new pair of bball shoes!! huzzah!! i tink its one of the most exx (or probably the MOST EX) bball shoes i hav gotten 4 myself.. its from converse and its from miami all star guard dwyane wade.. wat i like abt this pair of shoes is the color - black and red and also the shoe realli had a grip on the ankles.. unlike other bball shoes tt didnt hav such a focus on the grip..

so its 4 more mths 2 the end of this NS life.. i realli pray hard tt my understudy would come on june.. coz when he comes i'll b able 2 hav at least 70% of freedom from my duties.. and i'll b able 2 start convertin myself 2 a civilian..

sometimes time can pass by painstakingly esp when u got onli a few mths 2 ORD.. ohh well..






i can't rem when's the last time i had a gdd laugh like this.. i tink willy had a gddd one too.. but this is like 1 of the precious sight.. or photo.. tt i ever hadd.. to see me laugh and enjoy in this manner means alot 2 me.. its like appreciatin wat God has done.. i dun usu enjoy life like this.. as mani of u who noe me.. yes i tried 2 smile.. but even my smiles ar artificial.. and this joy and laughter above is pure and natural..

i prob wouldn't b laughin like tt rite now.. esp when i hav 2 book in tomolo..

i cant understand... after almost 2 yrs.. and now onli less than 4 mths 2 ORD.. i still suffer from book-in blues.. but my unit has been gddd 2 me already.. i appreciate tt.. but still it seems tt im still dissatisfied wif the entire org at large.. sometimes i wouldn't tink so farrr.. but the tot still lingers ard in my mind like a nuisance..

nevertheless tomolo is back 2 work already.. wat's nxt for me?? 4 my fellow commanders up nxt is ORD.. and best wishes 2 them.. but 4 me there's a little more 2 go b4 i announce my civilian life 2 all..




it's mothers day 2dae and it was perhaps 1 of the best of the mothers dae celeb i ever had..

mornin there was the mother's dae service dedicated 2 the mums in the church.. im quite impressed wif all tt was done.. esp the words 4 the mum.. and also the winnin letter contest 4 the mums.. truely words of appreciation and gratefulness 2wards our mum could touch them real deep..

and i also rem.. few daes back while i was sick and i took medicine.. i went 2 slp asap due 2 the drowsiness effects from 2 forms of medication tt i took.. i slept 4 so longg tt i didn't hear the house phone and my hp rang.. and when my hp rang again.. i quickly went 2 look 4 it but the ringin ceased b4 i could picked it up.. then i realized mum was outside the door already as she couldn't eat her dinner when she realized i did not pick up the phone 4 a longg time and she was worried.. at tt time i was so touched.. but i was too weak 2 do anythin..

and i tot tt she was not interested in the things tt i do.. bball.. church.. my friendz.. etc etc.. even my job as a medic in the army.. she had onli a vague understandin of it.. there ar onli a few things tt i can tell her.. as i onli could tell her tt much.. she couldn't realli get a whole picture of wat's goin on in the army.. but at tt moment i knew she cared.. esp when im not feelin well.. (but i couldn't always fall sick 2 bring out her love 4 me.. could i??)

there was a mother's dae dinner arranged by dad and i tot it was gddd.. but mum's expectations were too high but nevertheless enjoyed the dinner too.. and grandma was there 4 the dinner too..

my grandma is also another outstandin figure.. at the age of 78 she is still fit and she loves 2 walk and walk and walk.. (no wonder all my cousins and brothers and me ar in the infantry.. or ar related 2 it.. becoz of her love 2 walk tt "impacted" our generation..) and she can walk ALMOST THE SAME SPEED AS ME.. tt's 1 scary 78 yr woman 4 u.. jus now when she took the MRT she alighted earlier and took a 10min walk back 2 my uncle's hse.. 4 a moment i was totally shocked.. but i admire her strength 2 walk and walk.. no wonder she'll live a longggg and healthy life..

these 2 women had indeed impacted my mentality and my thinkin positively.. to me.. they ar realli the best mothers..




as i sae earlier on.. pls bear if me wif all these words as there ar NO PICS AVAILABLE.. if u dunwan 2 read then 4get it lor..

finally after all tt paoli crappy livin and ex nonsense.. im off 2 taipei.. 2 b honest.. i was not lookin 4ward 2 the fun initially coz i realli wanna get home asap after all tt crap and nonsense.. all i realli clinged on is the things tt were requested from my friendz back in sg and i tot tt after buyin those stuff i'll jus wait 4 time 2 board the plane and get home..

how wrong i was..

after we left our crappy place.. we went 2 a amusement park and i sat on the rides wif my fellow medics.. we shouted and had fun like nobody business and it realli took the stress off my mind.. i felt so relaxed after tt.. and soon after i realized tt im in a mood 2 hav fun in taipei already!!

see how things can change quickly..

after we reached our htl at abt 9pm.. i quickly checked in and settled everythin within a few min.. the htl we stayed is IN THE HEART OF XIMEN-DING~~ im like.. overjoyed!! haha.. after i checked in and settled everythin within a few min i took a quick walk ard the area and found the place realli fascinatin.. its like the bugis st of sg but its 4x bigger.. there's plenty 2 shop ard.. (btw if u take 1 whole dae jus 2 walk ard the whole of ximen-ding.. u will end up gettin sore feet.. haha..)

so day 1 i bought 3 nice shirts for abt 1000NT ($50)..

we went 2 a theme park in the mornin and were supposed 2 go 2 another in the afternoon.. but its rainin so the whole lot of us went 2 shoppin.. i quickly finalized my "shoppin essentials" and when nite comes i went 2 shilin nite market..

and there were so mani 2 buy and eat.. the food was AWESOME x 1521236.. after u eat the best u dunwan 2 eat the rest (esp those in sg..)

and day 3 was our day.. i went 2 find the legendary new life church in taipei.. after abt 1 hr of search i finally found it.. but tt was onli their main office.. i looked at their service timin and found tt they actualli do not hav a sabbath.. which means they do not hav a sun svc.. hmm.. perhaps the taiwanese dun realli wan 2 go church on sun which is their onli rest dae of the wk.. well i dunno..

visited the 2 sogos in taipei and the shoppin malls.. they ar all the same wif their expensive boutiques and high class supermarkets.. its kinda borin so i headed back 2 ximen-ding.. bought a pair of jeans and a shirt from 1 of the shops (im kinda impressed by their gddd service) and bought another local product b4 i get back 2 htl and prepare 2 leave taiwan..

speakin abt gddd service.. day 1 when my friendz sunglasses broke we went 2 a shop tt sell glasses (not an optical shop) 2 get it repaired.. i tot tt these shops wouldn't even hav the parts or they wouldn't even bother.. but amazingly the shopkeeper took the sunglasses and frantically went 2 search 4 spare parts and fixed it.. impressed by wat he hav seen.. my friendz bought a pair of glasses from them..

furthermore when i was buyin the clothes on day 3.. the auntie and the lady at the shop kept on introducin me 2 the nice clothes and even tried 2 pick 4 me some of the clothes tt suits me.. after i made my purchased the "thank u"s kept repeatin 2 me from the counter 2 the doorstep.. sg preached abt gdd service 2 the customers.. perhaps they should look at taiwan and realized tt they had actualli a mountain 2 climb..

at the airport my emotions were mixed.. paoli was baddd.. but taipei was gdd.. and now im back in sg.. how i wish i could jus fly 2 taiwan again.. this time wif more of taipei and less of paoli..




(rite.. the title was made like this 2 prevent MPs from catchin my bloggg..)

actualli our biggg bosses told us not 2 bloggg abt this ex.. verii well i guai guai and follow orders lor.. coz the ex its realli meaningless..

y izzit meaningless??

accordin 2 my fellow colleague.. he told me tt all inf ex ar equally meaningless.. but i felt tt this is far more meaningless.. out of 10 daes out in the field.. there were onli 3 daes of "action.." the rest of the 7 daes we were jus waitin and waitin 4 somethin 2 happen from the top..

but when it happened.. we realized tt we had walked a total of 62km for the 3 daes..

i came 2 a pt where i was utterly frustrated.. i even raised my voice at my superiors and tt realli put my rank on the line.. nevertheless my superiors were equally frustrated as when i apologized 2 them they admitted so..

b4 i set off 4 the ex i actualli composed a poem 2 motivate myself..

雄师不畏难
斗胜于星光
远涉山峻处
扬威克正午

(the lions arent scared
they fought and won at star light
walkin into the mountaneous areas
wif their glory and might, they conquered ^HiGh^ -n00n-)

in the end everythin screwed up.. and i didnt enjoy the exxx..

wif abt 4 more mths 2 ORD.. i realli wished tt is my last outfield exxx.. (hopefully nothin happens ard july or earli aug~~)

will post abt my taiwan RnR tomolo.. btw there's no pics.. coz i didnt bring the camera 2 taiwan.. lolzz.. bear wif me wif all the txt..
