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.

i've finally completed the rubik's cube! *joy* this ends my 2-year plus quest to complete what is probably the most popular mind-boggling puzzle ever invented by man! i am so overusing superlatives but what the heck. anyhow, ever since jason bought a rubik's cube for me for christmas 07, i've always wanted to finish it. however, i never wanted to use the formula (which can be easily found on the internet), coz i thought it would be cheating. i managed to find out how to solve the first layer by myself, but finally relented after weeks of frustration and went online to find out how to complete the second layer. after a rather difficult time mastering how to solve the second layer, i gave up on the third layer and never touched my rubik's cube ever since. who knew i would learn how to complete the rubik's cube while serving NS, and i've always called the army an intellectual desert. Terry, my buddy from another mother (and father), is the one i have to credit for helping me complete the quest. guard duty was really boring and he started teaching other people how to solve the cube. this kinda piqued my interest and i got him to teach me to solve the last layer. after days of dithering and mind-wrangling, we finally got it done! so yay

the past week has been quite sian, really. what with all the unnecessary training, guard duties and last book outs. surviving army life really takes a special kind of will and determination. either that, or get ready to go insane. the new sergeants came in last week but really started taking over duties this week. it's weird that these people came in in the same batch as me and now they're our commanders. makes you think what could have been.

i think i shall blog more tomorrow or something, but for now, these videos are amazing!
