its coming.
:
and now, daniel and rajiv are happily slogging their bottoms off in Pulau Tekong, fulfilling their
nightmare destiny in....
National Service.yes. every guy's
horror future in singapore.
watching all those guys lining up and hopping on the bus that brings them to the ferry really made me wonder,
What is my enlistment going to be like?will gerald tan, jachin and company go,
"Bye CK!!! God is always with you!!""OK! LET'S GO CHANGI VILLAGE FOR BREAKFAST."and all these within earshot range. hm... i wonder, what my bunkmates are going to be like, how my company is going to be like, how im going to get over my nauseous bouts when my nerves kick in
just before the physical tests.
how im going to make sure my rifle never ever EVER get kop-ped (read: taken away) by my sergeants.
how im going to shit out there in the jungle during field camp.
how im going to pass time while marching 24 kilometres.
now that is an awful lot of things to be thinking about. it really sucks, to know that its something you have been looking forward to, and yet its also something that you have been dreading.
it sucks to know that you have trained physically for it, and yet still be so uncertain whether you can survive the training.
and it really sucks to know that when you get in, you wish you can get out fast.
that's National Service for you. ah well. i have done all that can be done... now its just in His hands isn't it?
and to think that while i was still in JC, i was actually dying to go NS. sigh. the ironies of our lives. right now, my days consists mainly of swimming, badminton, running and weights. full of physical activity to get my body and brain used to it... i really really really pray i don't fall ill...
but admist all this commotion in my brain, it seems so strangely dim - this whole thing about going to NS. somehow, i seem almost at peace with it. God's peace? hopefully, considering the fact that i will be needing it. and to add icing to the cake, i still got my A level results to collect next year.
so yes... to all my loyal readers, yours truly will not be able to blog frequently next year for a period of 2 months... but i know all of you will support me right.....? :D
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
These have come so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
