Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Hey guys! Time flies and its just 1 more week to the graduation parade. Looking back at the times that I had in Tekong, there are a lot of good moments that is still fresh in my mind and also a lot of bad ones. I can still remember the route marches, in particular the 12km march. Though the fact that everyone is tired, but I still see people helping each other out by easing their load and people encouraging each other. In fact, I had one of the defining moments in camp last week when I passed my IPPT through station retest. To be honest, I really think that it's god unconditional love that see me through it, as I have never passed standing broad jump in my entire life. Earlier in the day, I prayed to god to provide during the test and he really did. Besides that, my bunkmates really played a major role in helping me to pass by cheering me on.
This entire week are filled with competitions and celebrations that spelled the end of our BMT life. For me, there was a slight disappointment as my acting role in the NE presentation gt scraped off. However, I still take pride in doing as a backstage crew to make the entire performance a success. Our performance is about whether it make a difference if NS is introduced during world war II and the entire performance is divided into 3 parts: 1) the japanese occupation during word war II, amidst the racial disharmony and showcasing the vulnerability of Singapore to external invasion 2) training in NS 3) the empowerment NS could make to the people to fence off the Japanese invasion. At least, we lost with dignity as the winning company, cougar company, showcased a spectacular show that uses the lightings and manpower.
The performance basically centres around a young student who visited a museum one day and saw a statue about racial disharmony. After which, he was taken back into time and he channel all his power by uniting the different races to fight the Japanese. Also, he went to find a weapon expert call Ah Hua, though she is a hostess. However, they were spotted and captured by the british as they viewed their act as something that rebel against them. Eventually, they managed to escape through a tunnel beneath their cell but met the japanese soldiers along the way. The story came to a twist when it reveals that Ah hua is a spy planted by the Japanese soldiers to track what the student and the leaders of different races are doing and they kept some people of different racial background as POWs. Eventually, everybody unite for one cause and manage to kill all the Japanese soldiers. Eventually, the student went back to the present after that.

Well, its been a long time since I last blogged, especially since I got enlisted in June. Therefore, I shall do a short update of the things that I have been doing. Basically, this week we are practising our individual field craft, which involved some military training such as fire movement drills, target indication, file movement and urban operation movement. I also had various tests this week, which are my 4th IPPT and also my technical handling test. Overall, I still fail my IPPT but there is a great improvement from the previous one. In fact, the most improved stations are 2.4km and chin up, which I could run at 12:12 mins and did 6 times respectively. I also had my HG livethrow and it was cool, I had a round of practice throwing and the other is the live one. Well, initially it was scary to know that there is a grenade in your pouch, especially when it is a live one. However, through the process, not only do I gained a once in a life time experience, but it really allows me to learn to react under such circumstances, especially when one is under a emotional state of mind.

Today was my last day of month that is been taken into account for my current month's pay. Well, have been on different sites this whole week; I worked at power seraya ltd on Tuesday, Wednesday at super bean international ltd and today at Singapore technologies kinetics. God really gave me a lot of trials through work this week as I experienced a host of problems during work this week.
Well, on tuesday, when I was at power seraya ltd, our site IC was late for about 30 minutes plus, so when we reached and were asked to setup the stations, the crowd started to build up rapidly. As the label searcher, I need the laptop to key in the particulars and print out the labels, but then it is unavailable cos its with the IC herself, so I decided to write the particulars on the paper before letting them to proceed to other stations. Its only after the IC asking me then I realised that I never manually wrote down the labels which may cause confusion. However, I believe that I can work under stress situations in the future cos of these encounters and I learnt to be more cautious about these minor details that ppl normally will forgo.
As for today, we went to singapore technologies kinetic co., which is deep inside the bukit timah nature reserve. In fact, I was kind of worried when one of the site ICs, pamela, told me abt the monkeys roaming around tat area. But well, I find them rather harmless and the baby monkeys r v cute! They will stare at me with this innocent look when I was admiring them. After which, when we are waiting for the issuance of the pass to get into the area, we saw this 2 monkeys making out on the roof and in bright daylight! But that aside, for the work, I find it rather tedious because at the beginning, people from different appointment timeslot start crowding into the room and they dun seems to know about their timeslot themselves, so its hard to keep track. Also, as most of them are factory workers, therefore, I have to be translator for some of them amidst the business and also have to deal with some hostile people.
After which, I went to NP to play Wii with my cg peeps, well its my 1st time playing wii and its really fun! We played games like wii sports and played sports like archery, swordfighting, table tennis, canoeing, baseball, bowling, boxing , cycling and so on, in fact its better than the recreational room in RP where they only have one wii machine. Well, my favourites are bowling and swordfighting because I keep getting strikes and spares and easy to navigate and swordfighting because its really depends on your defence and attacks so its kinda interesting to alternate between them.
Lastly, a verse to encourage myself, proverbs 3:5-6

Well, this week has been hectic and busy, particularly for my work. Have been going to starhub call centre to conduct health screenings for the employees there and I will be going down to IBM international holdings tomorrow. Really pray that the holy spirit will renew my body and that to have wisdom for tmw position, which is registration, which to me is quite a challenge. Anw, watched clash of the titans wif my cg just nw, I think the movie itself is not bad, love the scene where Perseus and Kraken fought to save Argos and the scene when they got to fight Medusa to get her head. The ending is nice as Perseus get to reunited with lo, which is the woman that he fell for.
Looking at the gods, I realized how perfect my god is. In the movie, they showcase evil desires to fight for power,lust, jealousy and pride, but our god show sacrificial love and other characteristics that no other gods will show. In the show, the people are gradually dissatisfied mainly because of the god's tyrant behaviors and Zeus decided to destroy the human race because of their insolence and vanity , but in Jesus case, despite the fact that human race are sinning against him, still choose to bless them in their daily lives. This shows how great God's love is.

Went for Easter service and played LAN wif the cg. Well, was quite late for usher duty today and got assigned to do the front seats with the youth ushers. Initially, I dreaded about that decision cos I prefer to stick with the polydin ushers and my impression on youth people are noisy and hype up, which does nt goes well with my personality. However, after getting to know them better, I find no issue in working with them. I find the testimony by Anthony and Huixian very touching and inspiring, I was touched by their selfless love towards their baby and inspired that despite of the many difficulties they faced taking care of their child, they still put their utmost trust in Jesus because of the assurance of god's word. Went to play LAN at parklane mall, I teamed up with Ruihao, Clarence n Bing Sheng to play L4D2. Well, since most of them are newbies, so I have to like lead them in the game. We played the map dead centre, and we have a lot of funny moments in it, like etc. we always accidentally shoot our own teammates and one teammate of us threw the malavao wrongly n burnt his team members instead. But nonetheless, we had a great time building chemistry with each other through this game and also understands each other's strength and weaknesses.

Hi guys! Sorry for not updating this blog for such a long period of time! Well, if u guys are wondering what am I doing for this past few weeks, I am currently working as a part time project assistant under day spring medical group and also spending time with my new cg. I have also just sent my application form for RWS via a friend under the refer a friend programme that they had. Working as a project assistant maybe tiring(working hours is between 8 am- 12 pm estimate), but I have met with many interesting n funny encounters when I am working at various project sites. One of the main highlights of the holidays is the SEED camp 2010, through this camp, I get to know my new cg members better, to build the base of creating better friendships. In fact, I am a person who rejected the idea of NS a lot, its like I try to avoid talking about it or mentioning anything abt it, but through this camp, I realised that I am thinking NS on a very surface level. God allowed me to see NS on a wider perspective, through Jeremiah's speech, I get to understand the importance of men leading and building a strong vision for god.Therefore, I prayed to god that through these few months left before enlistment, I really pray for conviction to serve him and build up my faith in him as it is impt to guard my heart in there. Also, we went to fetch aloysius at the airport on monday, had a great time sharing lives with zhiyang and bing sheng about NS ministry and opening our lives.I believe that god really created all these opportunities for us to come together to fellowship and build up strong friendships.
colossians 3:12-14
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
