Oh man..7 Hrs left to Tekong Resort!

How i miss the smell of my home, the comfortable bed, and the hot shower..but who cares?Army is gonna be fu, but tough though.

I will be posted to Yankee Company, and at the old SISPEC school, for the next 2 weeks of confinement. But i really wana thank those people who have encouraged and prepared  me on this path to becoming a soldier..Namely:

Vincent Kwan- Always telling me how tough army is, but nevertheless always encouraging me to rough it out for God.

Cameron:  My cell leader for making the days up to Tekong more fun by allowing me to thrash him in FIFA 2007 4-1 using Poland on XBOX 360(and getting beaten up at the same time by this giant hahaha)!

Gen 2.3- For praying and co-laboring with me to bring in souls into the Kingdom of God from Bedok Green and elsewheres..(thanks matty for taking over th role of leading worship in cell!)

Marcus: For giving me expert advice on things to buy etc, and giving me so much stuff for field camp.

Choon Teck: My best buddy in poly..for always suaning and teasing how ‘fun’ tekong is, but nevertheless, a fun partner to be around talking nonsense and playing prank on one another!

My sheep Kah Wai and Kevin (Joo Keng too!): For that lovely Cartel dinner on my birthday and the $70 Gianni Valentino wallet present..(I’m so blessed to see you guys grow!)

JunJie and Weizheng: For the really uplifting supper at Hong Kong Cafe just a few hours ago…I really appreciate it!

Sabrina ong and Jingyi: For the IKEA meals we had, and the ‘Elisha and the dragonfly he swallowed’ ultra ridicuous but funny stories

Jiancong: For the dinner we had at Borsche Restaurant in Serangoon Gardens..thanks for your godly advice and the exhortations!

Joy Tan : For helping me become a more fun-loving person, and teaching me how to play MSN Poker (which i always nearly win her!) , and the great, encouraging talks walking her home once in a while from the MRT..

Isaiah and Carol: For the fun stayovers at their house playing xbox with Isaiah till 3am and talking nonsense too..(but also the inspiring dinner chats and extension of hospitality when i had family difficulties at home..)

and last but not least..Dad and my family for supporting me all these years, seeing me grow from a childish boy to the guy i am today!

Ok..this is one of those very rare moments I sound emo, but really , its a tribute list, though not exhaustive, to some very special people who have played a big part in the prelude to NS.But most importantly, I thank God for being so gracious in bringing me into a deeper intimacy of relationship of knowing Him, and the preparation of heart the Lord did even before i went into the army. I know His promises of souls saved in the camp will come to pass!

Yup..so stay tuned! Hasta la Vista..I will be back in 2 weeks!
