HAPPY NEW YEAR!
It’s a little late but hey who cares? Finally 2009 has arrived. The crap of 2008 is now GONE!
1 full year of NS is GONE!
Only 127 (GOSH!) days left!!!
That translates to roughly 4 months and 1 week to ORD!
GOD I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED!
Really thank God that 2008 is gone man. So much crap stuff has happened. Especially most of them are army related. THANK GOD only 4 months and 1 week left for their bullshit!
Hard to believe that another year has just come and went just like that. I was browsing through the various blogs that I frequent and happened to chance upon my ex-ITE lecturer Yee Fen ( http://sinnothoo.wordpress.com/ ) and saw how she organized the events of 2008 that happened to her and gave me an idea to list my own too, LOL.
So here goes:
January: Nothing much happens, except that a few small people in bunk declared war on me, which I eventually emerged as victor in the end, LOL.
February: Nothing much again, invited a few people over to my house on Chinese New Year. It was a little too quiet. Miss those times when there were a lot of my friends over at my place during CNY. Going to do that again this year!
March: Can’t really remember much. Guess it must be some unpleasant army stuff that my brain has suppressed to the point that I can’t remember, LOL.
April: Ah…a month full of activities! Firstly, our dear Mas Selamat Kustaragi escaped and my company was RECALLED back from our Good Friday leave to hunt him down. After the hunt it was quickly followed by our half anticipated and half dreaded trip to India! Read my April post about it!
May: Amnesia again.
June: Ah… my 22nd birthday. I was surprised by my church friends as I never anticipate that anybody will remember because it falls on a weekday in 2008. Thanks to my best friend Gabriel that reminded them behind my back, LOL. I was blessed with a cool gift too, LOL. Unfortunately, on the eve of my birthday, I received a message from my dad that my God-father had passed away due to a heart attack at the age of 66. Almost told my dad to call our ‘contacts’ and ‘connections’ to deal with my f!@k up platoon sergeant that ABSOLUTELY refused to let me go and pay my respect to my God-father! Reason? ‘Oh your God-father isn’t your next of kin.” Oh wow you f!@#$r has sunk to a new stinky low in my eyes, you f!@#$%g tattoo loser. Don’t let me see you outside, jackass.
July: Lots of trainings due to the upcoming ATEC, it is an important examination for military personnel.
August: ATEC beings and lasted for 4 days 3 nights. It was the most tiring and toughest out field battle I ever been. Thank God after that the tempo in camp dropped dramatically.
September: Our dear PC (Puiiiii-toon, I mean Platoon Commander) left. Part one of my prayers came through. Thank you God!
October: Our dear stinky tattoo loser of a Platoon Sergeant left. My prayers were answered. Thank you God for delivering the two demons from us!
November: ½ of the personnel from other companies ORD. ½ of our sergeants left too. New commanders came in to get ready to replace those that had left. Most of this time there were little training going on, just some self running and static exercises.
December: All those that were supposed to ORD left. 12 days of leave arrived near the end of the month. OH MY GOD! It was soooo shiok until we got recalled back for half a day. !@#!$!$. Celebrate Christmas in church and at home and feasted like crazy. I had a gift exchange with my cell group and I gave Season 7 of the Simpsons to Hong Bin. He was so happy, LOL. I received a tube of shower foam courtesy of Patricia, LOL. Oh yes I bought Tiberium Wars 3 for my brother and Dawn of War to keep myself entertained. I wish I could buy Persona 3 and 4 but ah….need to conserve some cash. I wanted to get Ayumi Hamasaki’s newest album, which was basically a compilation of ALL her songs and music videos, but again, need to CONSERVE! I spent New Year’s eve at home and watched the countdown on TV, in case you were thinking no I wasn’t watching the local one I was watching Taiwan’s countdown which was MUCH MUCH more happening, with my family. You can literally (alright you can’t) see the smile on my face as I see every time and calendar devices changed to 2009.
2009. The long awaited year has arrived. The year where my life can continue on, things will get done, dreams fulfilled, new breakthroughs, new victories, new defeats, new friends, new things, new knowledge, new intimacies with God, renew interests in His Word and finally, perhaps I may find the one I love. Not confirmed yet so don’t anyhow bomb this in front of me, LOL.
Ah, the sweet sweet smell of freedom is near. As I type this, cold wind blew into my room (don’t worry no ghosts around I’ve checked), I can feel the strength and power from the Holy Ghost arriving.
Truly many exciting things will come in 2009. Even for church! My pastor gave us an outline for things to expect and I can tell you, it is a lot! Pastor did mention SPECIFICALLY about water baptism and it seems like it was directed at me. Alright then! I shall do it right away after I ORD! Water baptism, HERE I COME!
Oh yes oh yes I forgot to mention what I did today. I went to church and the service was good (including the outline of the year which I just mentioned) and helped Nick with the Newcomers’ Tea! It was eye-opening as this was the first time that I was present! I didn’t attended it when I was a young Christian as I was thrust into the next level of Bible Study without even been introduced to the church! LOL it was such a long time ago man! Close to 6 years now.
After the Tea my cell group went down to Bugis to have our lunch! It was quite a late lunch, LOL. Sat in Yi Huai’s car today and I was amazed by his powerful sound system and I almost feel like I was in a discotheque! Many things ran through my mind due to some familiar songs that I heard therefore I was quiet for most of the journey. One of them was dreading about going back to camp in the night -.-||
Another thought that was running through my mind was about my love life but I’m not going to share it because I know there are spybots on my blog. I might write it in another post perhaps.
I ate in a coffee shop opposite Bugis Street and my Hong Bin recommended me to try the duck rice with soup. I never ate that before and therefore gave it a go. My God! It was marvelous! There was a huge selection for soups and I had to go with salted vegetable soup as the one which I originally wanted ran out. Anyway had a good time during fellowship and we parted a little while after we finished our lunch.
I went back home with Rudolf and Wan Rong and we parted after reaching Khatib in the train.
Alright, I got to go get ready to head back to camp. -.-||
It’s alright I’ll bear with it for 4 more months! 2009 IS THE YEAR OF LIBERATION!
Thanks for reading and God bless!
