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.

so i'm back again, and this weekend i will only be breathing 20hours of civilian air before booking in again for an outfield on monday. (possibly a field camp, but no one knows for sure). national day duty is really becoming more of a chore than a mission. from next week onwards, we have to stay an hour later, ending at 11.30pm, which means we'll probably leave the marina bay area at 12am. how amazing. makes you wonder why, of all the 4 million people in singapore, my company had to be the ones doing this.

while i was surfing facebook just now, i saw my birthdate: 23 Jan 1990. the number 1990 struck me. like, how long ago was 1990? my goodness, i don't even remember the 90s anymore, makes me feel weird thinking that i actually lived through the 90s, when the Clintons were in the White House, Lee Kwan Yew just stepped down and Michael Jackson was still alive and moonwalking...well, there's no major point to this random observation, just that i'm old...or at least, getting older.

can't wait to ORD. there are so many things that i want to get done before i pack my bags for the West. get a driving license, learn french, work (for once), travel, etc. it's surreal thinking that in 2 years i would be getting ready to leave Singapore for 3 or 4 years and survive on my own in a whole different land, a whole different city and culture. some days i wake up excited that i'll have an opportunity to leave this place to learn to stand on my own two feet in a faraway society. other days i wake up dreading to leave this island that i've grown so comfortable in, the land of great food, friends and family. i don't know why i'm even obsessing about this since i still have well over two years to go before i finally leave Singapore, but i guess it's just going to be such a big shift that i don't know what's going to happen.

Church today was quite amazing. had a very, very special guest speaker: Apostle Naomi Dowdy. she comes with a reputation, Ps Gerry refers to her many times during his messages. and she really is an annointed woman of God. listening to her sermon, i could really imagine the printed form being one of the epistles similar to Paul's or Peter's, ok maybe not that level, but certainly apostolic. she actually has a website: www.naomidowdy.com

ok now my blog post is starting to become me just rambling. this does not make for good writing. so i shall end here. let's hope the next week will be a better one...
