tonight the journey begins :D

"here is your main course sir. *grins* enjoy!" the sarcasm that reeks pungent on one half of my mind. but it seems the other side of me never fails to embrace the challenge without a good fight. to relinquish every ounce of my energy and will to complete. this time nothing will change. i'll walk through the gateway of the airport with the courage God has given me, the protection He promised and the good faith that He has planted in me. thanks be to God =) and till the 17th of May 0000hrs when i return, know that you guys out there are constantly remembered and loved. *and if given a choice not to go and catch up with you all, i'll gladly say YES! :DD

*redundant i know but needed to emphasise on my point :D hee.

see ya in a month's time! ;)

off-day:)

the luxury of waking up late. ahh~ :) watched the movie, "17again" feeling quite young already. just the little pleasures of life. what is to come? as chantel kreviazuk's LEAVING ON A JET PLANE would put it, "all my bags are packed, i'm ready to go... .. ..coz i'm leaving on a jet plane! ohh babe, i hate to go." hahaha! something along those lines. how am i feeling? breathless at the thought of going thru the training but slowly regained by the assurance God has given me. i'll going to pull through! :D

will probably publish another post just before i fly ;) stay tuned.

Ex-grandslam 2 cut! :)

"good shot!" the first encouragement and ending words of my commander's speech. thank God first and foremost for bringing me back home safe and sound. :)) thank Him also for giving me the fighting spirit to press on. Fixating my mind on the gift of life God has given me. the panoramic view of the brilliant city lights of singapore from the helicopter. sensational followed by a sudden adrenaline of loyalism to the country. "to defend and protect the constitution WITH OUR LIFE!" hee. this spearheaded the mood of the exercise to a direct climax. then slapped right down to beyond the great depression. hahaha. marching in the wee hours plus river-rosssssing. thinking by now, after all the walking in full battle order in our soaked clothing, its only humane for them to allow us to catch some sleep, eat our breakfast and brush the algae off our clothing and teeth. NOT. we proceeded with our training. we dug and dug.. dug.. dug.. dug.. dug.. and dug.. and the next thing i know(next morning), my buddy was in a position with the shovel driven 60degs to the ground and him bending over it. for a moment, seriously, i thought he stabbed himself... scary man. okay. i'll end it here. ;)

coming up is thailand! :D whee!! period.

charging..battery full. :)

here i am. this far i've come. i'm not going to give up coming this far. i'm not being foolish. i recognise the risk i'm taking. i heeded the doctors advice to think carefully. and i've thought through this deeply. tomorrow i'm going to breech into the gates of Hades for the next 4 days.

"Father, i need your strength. strength to overcome adversities. to lift your name up high even in dire situations. Father, i need you. i need ur love to fill me and energize me once again. amen."

trust. wholeheartedly. :)
