This will be my last post before enlistment tomorrow morning, so let me talk a little more today. Looks like I'll only have a week or so at tekong, which I'm thankful for. That'll mean that I'll have more time on my hands during NS, for which I am definately not complaining:) I thank God for all the wonderful people who have encouraged me and prayed for me this past week, especially my DG - you all really mean so much to me!
Youth praise this morning was something that I also thank God for. I had never organised the rehearsal in such a last minute fashion before. I was counting on thursday evening, but then it turned out that the only days where the others could make it was tuesday and friday, and I couldn't make it on friday. All this took place on monday night, so you can imagine how last minute it was. It was at this point that I realised that I should have called everyone earlier, as I could have seriously disrupted their schedules...oops! Then on saturday afternoon after swimming, I realised that I had forgotten to get the projector for sunday, which was only some hours away ...oops again! but thankfully Celine had already booked it. So everyone came this morning and gave their best for the Lord:) After youth praise, which eneded early, we all went to the market across the road, and that was a really great time of fellowship before service.
If I can come home next weekend, I'll have more to talk about, hopefully without letting out any state secrets in the process:P So, it's time for me to see for myself what so many guys who went before me have talked about. Anyway, I'll probably not see everything this week.

My time
My days as a civilian are numbered. Right now, I'm still with St. Lukes Eldercare, and I think I'm doing fine, even though I had trouble keeping awake in the afternoon today:P The past few days have been rather eventful, especially sunday. On Sunday, I visited NUS open house in the afternoon, where I met quite a lot of friends from AC, and they really made my day more than anything else, especially since I came alone. I attended the last med talk with Caleb, where the professor did quite a bit of negative advertisment such as long and irregular hours, and the long road to specialisation, the straight-A students who disliked the course, and all. For a moment, I even came close to thinking that I'd rather apply to science and go for major in chem. After that, I made my way to ACS(I) to visit TA2. The 2006 cohort of sec 1s have a really impressive drill standard considering that they have only joined BB for less than 3 months.
I just found out that I'm leading worship at church on March 26th. I pray that everything may go well.

The Big Day
Well, the big day has come and gone ('A' Level results), and there is just so much to thank God for. He gave me more than what I could have expected, and the glory is His alone. Our God is a faithful God! (My mum had a hard time believing my GP grade)
I just want to use this opportunity to give credit to all who have helped me along the way in one way or another. Firstly, to all my teachers who took time to do consultation with me, some having to rearrange their schedules to fit me in, I want to say a big thank you. Mrs Beatrice Choong, Mrs Low CS, Mdm Esther Leow, Mr Wong TH and Ms Loke, thanks for teaching me what I needed to know. Secondly, to those who helped me out in questions when I was stuck, like Russell, Kenneth Tay, Kenny, Jon Tui, Joyce and many others, I really appreciate all your help. I could not have done without you. Thirdly, to those who allowed me the privilege of helping you out with your tough questions, especially during the period leading up to the 'A's, it is thanks to you all that I was kept on my toes, and I also learnt much from you. You all aided me in my revision, and were a much greater help to me than you know, so thanks:) I also could not have done without you. Last but definitely not least, my wonderful study group provided me with the motivation to study. Through the many study sessions in the void deck and the hub, as well as the times when we went to ghim moh for lunch, as well as the chat sessions over dinner, and the times you helped me when I needed help, it was you all who made studying fun. Many thanks:) And to so many who prayed for me, I want to say the biggest thank you! You were such a blessing to me.
I hope to see you all at some time or other, be it at bbdc, or elsewhere.
