its been a long time since i've touched this wall, and its taking me some time to get into the zone of penning down my thoughts and feelings, especially on a public space.
enlistment's in 4days, and honestly, i'd be lying if i said that the thought of it isnt daunting. its a mixture of butterflies and diarrhoea, a part of me thats stoked and excited, yet nervous and afraid of whats to come. and i just really want to move forward into this next stage trusting god every step of the way. its so daunting that when im out with friends, sometimes my mind just drifts away from reality and just wanders into an imagination of NS. Jesus, i feel unprepared, i feel scared. but they are just my feelings. take me every step of the way, walk in front of me, cause everything that my hand touches to be a success Lord.
before i go on, there're a few people i'd like to thank:
(okay damn i cant upload the photos)
johan: thank you yoda, the parties that took place in the last few months couldnt have happened without you. you're a cool dude, thanks for being around.
nick: thank you darth vader, for the countless rides home, for the friendship which we've developed over our trips to hongkong, taipei and daily meetups at simpang and kemb. its a great relief that i'm enlisting together with you on the same day. you cant give a shit about anything, and its annoying, but you're cool that way. thanks bro.
acap: thanks bro for always getting my back. havent seen you in awhile cause you've been in europe the past 2 weeks. hope i i still get to see you before i enlist. the past few months have been great. thanks man. cheers sith lord.
wenzhuang: thank you for keeping in contact with me even though i've left wrpf. honestly, i never expected you to be the one who would still keep in contact with me even though i've left church. its great to know that there's still people i can trust and depend on, even back at the church where i grew up. i hope you still read this space hahaha. sorry i cant post up our polaroid here. soemthing's wrong with lj. thanks for being there :)
fongyee: hello friend. i'm glad that we've been able to maintain a good friendship even after all the hoo-ha that happened 2-3 years back. i hope you're enjoying the book i bought you. i pray you're enjoying the ministry you're in now, love you, and take care. seeyou soon.
ritz: sup bro. havent seen you in awhile, and i apologise. its tough juggling two groups of friends. tougher than i expected it to be. but we'll definitely have more moments to hang out. thanks for being the steady one in planning outings and all. you've been a great friend.
gave psalms 91 a read once again, and its so comforting that god gives me the full assurance that he'll be with me every step of the way. he will show me his soitera, - his prosperity, his health, his peace of mind, his unmerited favor.
i havent really defined any specific expectations which i have of ns, but i know that in BMT, i pray for a good sergeant, kena 'tekan' is cool, but i just pray that i'll find favor with the sergeants, that i wont get those anal sergeants who abuse their authority. im really hoping for NS to pass by fast, and im not sure which unit i wanan go. officer is crazy training, but the life after that is good. sergeant is just stuck in the middle. go Man also die. admin spec on tekong, or selarang camps or navy would be good. whichever it is, i'll just take it.
talking to people about NS doesnt help at all, and people say NS sucks and all, but since young i saw it as people paying you money to work out. people say that i havent been to NS, but it all starts with attitude.
"the lord bless me, and the lord keep me" "the blessings of abraham come upon me, for i am an heir of god, abraham's see, with full rights and priveledges" "the lord keep me and preserve me from every sickness and disesase from all dangers, accidents harm and from the pwoer of hte evil one" "the lord make his face shine upon me, and be favourable towards me everywhere i go" "the lord lifts up his countenance on me, grant to me his shalom peace" amen.
my Jesus is a good god, and my Jesus who loves me, gave up his life for me. |
