Thanks
I give thanks
Not only for
What I have
But also for
What I will
Soon come
To find.

I give thanks
For trials
And tribulations
That have to
Be overcome.

I give thanks
For the test
That must
Be passed.

I give thanks
For happiness
And pain.
No matter the
Emotion - I
Give thanks
Just the same.

was playing this crazy typing game on facebook - typing maniac, which is like guitar hero, except that it's typing. now i'm having some problems coordinating my cramping fingers...

so happy to be home for the weekend. i went to marina bay on saturday to do traffic control for ndp again. this time i decided to go to the floating platform to see if i could go in to watch the parade. apparently, i could. so it was quite cool just walking into the rehearsal, with captains, staff sergeants, etc walking around but nobody stopping me. i watched the second half of the parade. it is really not the same watching the parade live as opposed to watching it at home. there's a different atmosphere when watching live. it was nice to see the fireworks too, although i'm sure they didnt spam the full display at the rehearsal.

on friday morning i woke up to the sad news that michael jackson was dead, after a cardiac arrest. although i can't honestly say that i'm a fan and follower of his music, i must admit that he was an icon, and incredibly talented. the extent of his fame and influence showed in how people were so aware of him despite not knowing how to sing his songs. he was truly one-of-a-kind and anyone must at least give him credit for that, despite his scandals and weirdness. i'm not an ardent fan of michael jackson, but i admire him for his talent, his fame and his uniqueness, and he must be remembered for that. it's ironic that in death, people becomem more aware and appreciative of his life. RIP Michael Jackson.

a very convicting message was preached this morning at church by Rev. Peter Lui, who never fails to deliver something insightful. he is able to take something 'old' and regurgitated and turn it into something fresh and intriguing. just goes to show that no matter how you read the Bible, there's always something new to learn. the message was: Your Work Matters To God. and it talks about attitude. it made me realise how much i've been complaining and whining about having to go through army, when the alternative was to take it as it is, and do the best that i can, for the glory of God. it's given me a paradigm shift, thinking about this phase in my life, and how i'm reacting to it. yes, army is crap, but just go through it and do it to the best of your ability. i think this pleases God.

went to watch transformers on thursday, yes, thursday. quite an awesome show. yes the plot was brainless, and the action was bordering on overkill, but hey, it was definitely entertaining and worth the price of the ticket. i'm so irked by the Straits Times' rating of half a star. it just goes to show how pompous and elitist john lui is for casting the show in such a dim light. sure it wasn't Oscar material or as riveting as the Dark Knight, but it was definitely better than half a star. and we got to watch it for free, coz LTA Chris (who is CPT Chris now, btw) treated us to the movie. what a great break in the middle of an army week.

28th of june, almost seven months into the army. 17 more to go...
