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'm back from India! what a good feeling it is to be home. i would like to blog about the whole time in India, but it's late, and there's service tomorrow and i really should be getting some sleep. however i think it's mainly because i missed the timing when i was most inspired to write a long blog post about my experience in India and now the inspiration has passed, but i will eventually get down to writing something about India, since it was a memorable trip.

other things/issues are occupying my thoughts right now. just got back from a Livewire leaders' meeting. so many exciting things are coming up and so much needs to be done and they're really just flooding my mind right now. so many ideas, so many thoughts, so little time. how frustrating.

alas i return to Sungei Gedong Camp tomorrow night after two weeks away (bet the bedsheets must be really dusty now). and as February came and went, and with India down, i can't help but feel that ORD is imminent. nevertheless, 9 months is still a long time to wait.

some random thoughts right now:

i should really get down to starting my driving soon if i'm going to get my license before ORD as hoped for.
i want an iPhone.
i'm glad to be back home.

there is this incredible sense of frustration in me, not of the negative type, but of the postive type. it seems like there's so many things i want to do, but there's just not the time nor the resources to pursue them. patience is something that can only be learnt, not taught and the only way to learn it is to go through it yourself. it seems like life will begin after ORD, but i can't help but feel like i want life to start now, to start transiting back to civilian life. so many things are still up in the air: uni admission, post-ORD plans, etc. rar.

this fantastic quote from Scrubs really caught my attention, one would think that a crappy show like Scrubs would never have a take-home moment, but this line really got me: Nothing worth having is come easy. you've got to work for something. if it comes too easily, it's probably not worth having. one notable exception would be the Grace of God, which is the most important thing worth having, but comes easily, and does not need to be earned. it's the only exception to the rule i guess. if you want to learn a new language, you have to go for classes; if you want to have a degree you have to study really hard; if you want to maintain a relationship you have to invest time and effort. it's a universal truth, and kudos to the Scrubs scriptwriters.

it's 1am, time for bed.
