Religion

Today Pat asked me some questions about religion which i find pretty interesting
During our free time, he was reading his TPJC forum page. I rolled my chair beside him to take a look at the interesting topic being debated. We started talking about religion and he began to tell me about the views about religion as read on the site. Probably some of which are his views.

He asked me 2 interesting questions.

1) If God created the world's most heaviest object [that probably he can't even lift] since he is the creator of this universe, wouldn't it be a paradox if God couldn't lift it [ being omnipotent himself] ?

I just plainly tell him on the spot its senseless. He replied to believers it is senseless but to non-believers it makes big sense. Well i am pretty excited at this point even though the statement or the question sounds pretty odd.

2) God created us. Who created God ? What's before God?

This questions are pretty interesting to know ain't it. I am not sure what they are trying to prove from there because this 2 statments definitely doesn't show there isn't a God. It just shows that there are answers yet to be found. Very simply, i told him that if you know all this answers, there will not be a need for God. You can be God yourself.

Then comes the part where he saw a site on "how to create a religion in 10 easy steps." I would say the author probably state very obvious religious observations that can be easily copied and make into play. Its like making it into a darma with the religious essence or must-haves in it. There it goes ...

Everything is interesting to a point but ..... misleading to many points. Very sadly when one door opens for one's mind, all other doors in our mind will just remain tight shut. It happens to almost all of us. When we so believe that something is true, other beliefs will simply be dismiss as fabrications and mumbo-jumbos. Just as Pat put it, perception of religion views are controversial. But how does that make it invalid?

Controversy might mean to many that things are not confirm. Some can view religion as crap and go "stop whinning" to believers around them. Some can view it as a good fun topic to bust their time and debate with their friends about. Some can just simply ignore and wash their hands clean off it. But i must say that controversial topics does not mean that the the whole topic should be disregarded and sentenced - invalid.

Should that be the case , there will be no need to bother to think about religion at all. Because plainless battle between scholars, scientist and theologists brings out nothing. When we embrace an idea, always give full thoughts to it.

If a religion as simply put by the site above - as a theory, it would plainly be nothing more than a practise and a common belief. The amazing thing that the world has not see is not the religion practise or teachings itself. Its the experience of His presence. That's what that i feel will mightily shape the world.


Wonder what i've been talking about ?
Its just a thought. Wonderful thought. I love to hear more about what the world thinks. And even more from God.

SaiKang Warrior Reloaded

Adapted from Pat's blog

" .. Together, Rui Xiang and I fought bravely against the windows and metal rail of the bottom part of the front door of the NSSC building while Jason galantly took hold of the upper part and tamed the NSSC metal plaque under his might while Joel charged in to the rescue to Jason by offering him steadfast support from the battlement .... "






Gee i din know SK work can be described so chivalrously. ^^

We got a reloaded experience today! This time our weapons have been changed to dusty brooms with oily grips [ gee how did the oil get there?] and plastic bags. We are now more specialised in our task today. You can probably call it a forsaken promotion. We have been knight-ed Sir Jason and Sir Patrick Long Kang Warriors. [ Drain Warriors in other words]. We proceeded with this wild wild journey through the dark stairways behind out lvl 2 office. We walked steadily up and soon found ourselves surrounded. With leaves that is. The leaves are clogging the Long Kang [ Drain] and we are called to save the day....

The Commander-In-Chief, Sir Kok started preparing us for battle. Very soon, we armed ourselves with plastic bags and began capturing all the leaves in the LongKang. Then we the crusaders dump the silent prisoners into a transparent cage [ also more commonly known as the Gigantic Office trash bag]. Sir Kok assisted us by using his great and mighty eye power which probably helps in obliterating flies and mosquitoes stinging our butts. It took us almost a century [ according to Jason time scale ] to capture most of the leaves. Proclaiming victory, we headed back to camp at lvl 2 office to sleep.

ha.

NTI Conclusion ..

This topic is kinda interesting to blog about. Questions about NTI have been flowing in and out of my head. Even turtle has blog about it. She provide alittle more comprehensive account of the trauma we've been through. [haa trauma sounds strong :P]

Well, for now i've decided to take a stand to tell everyone i know to stop associating with NTI. Don't join NTI because most of the things they say are more likely lies. A member who goes in there is likely to lose more than he gains. Not would he juse lose his finance, but he'll lsoe his character. The managers crapping to us are the most evident proves. So here goes my sentiments... :)

Who's this ?

My Deferment IC ... caught impromtu by PTE Peter !
She's head of my department ... Mdm Sundri

Well today, i basically send some emails [ part of my job scope ] in the morning. Then i tried to fax my SAT score to both NTU and NUS because apparently they did not receive my score. It seems that during registration, i might have forgotten to request for free mailage of my SAT score to the universities. That has caused me considerable trouble because i seem to have misplace my SAT score result slip. The results is therefore an ominous headache. What joy!

The big big problem is that i can't fax cause the other line is engage. I don't want to delay any further. So basically i prepare 2 envelopes with my SAT scores and the appropriate letters as my backup plan if i can't fax. On top of that, i requested half-day leave to visit NUS admission centre to submit the documents. So i basically did all that .. Except that i am eventually not granted half-day leave. I was granted a leave-early pass instead and i have to make up for it by staying later on one of the days to work. Basically i am quite fine with that as long i can what that is to be done, done.

I also mailed Mr Brown during office hours. I asked him how he categorise his entries which i need it to fully open up my new link - Project 158. He replied pretty quickly and now i shall try his method or hunt for more. Basically i am still buzy looking up some educational stuffs, about pte schools around SG and i am just wondering if i should even take private school lessons. Or should i go for tuition centres ? The main deciding factor is the distance from my house. 2nd is the cost. 3rd will be the environment. Well people sure have doubts whether i can do well for the 3 subs i am goign to retake. I am going to prove them all wrong!!!!

I got alittle lecture from my uncle. I was really cast down. He said i am complacent and that is partly true. I would credit my -lost of time and priority management self- for doing things all last minute. Sigh things just aren't going good for me this days.

I am pretty thankful that my job doesn't seem very stressful. Jon [my senior] has taught me alot and it is not that hard to be a Razor. At least now it doesn't seem so. I wonder how are the rest of my friends are surviving in different units. Jaryl in armour scout. Garrick serve as clerk and also help in coordinating strategic attacks and waypoint system. High Class clerk just like he said. Jun kai seems to be doing ok as clerk too. I know of 2 JC people [our batch] working near me too! Joel and Austin. Today Joel accompanied me to the post office to pay for my A level fees. So my days here are not going to be that lonely after all :)

On Job Training - OJT

Finally, i was allocated my job as a razor. Basically my job is to raise NSmen Deferment cases in the intranet com system. Today, i was taught by senior Johnathan on the job of razor. He'll be moving on to monitoring 'cos the monitoring guy is going to ORD soon. [ he's been singing all day about ORD-ing in 3 month. -_-]

So finally i'm going to get my headache workload ... most probably by this friday. Out of the rest of the 3 new guys with me, only 2 of them still lack a post in the deferment sector. They end up doing file work all day.

Today, Lt Co. Koh had a NSSC unit meeting to talk to us about integrity. One of our commerades was punished because of his rash mistake of covering up his first mistake. So the case has become serious and he got quite alot of trouble. But i think the worst part of the punishment for him is to admit all of his mistakes infront of the whole unit. After that, the 4 of us [the new guys] have to introduce ourselves again to NSSC -_-. Now instead of calling me Jason 4 [ i'm the 4th Jason in NSSC], they call me 9def Jason or panther Jason. 9def [ with panther as its logo] is the unit i am in-charge now as a Razor.

I am quite sad today. Partly because of the crazy university admission problem. I finish registering but i need to send my SAT score to both university ... and to NUS before this friday. Men talk about lack of time. I feel very slow at the start of the week. It seems like i just cant get the things i want to do ... done fast enough.

Maybe i should sleep more early this few days. I feel so worn out ... :(

Something cool

Business is business.

Sunday
[Backdated post]

Well, i start the day with this interesting experience and encounter. Wee kiang introduced me very much earlier to this mysterious job which he din want to explain much. I asked him alot but he just wouldn't say and replied constantly " very hard to explain ar! You go there you will know alr. " So my curiousity was stirred up and i wonder what kind of job can this be ... when the introducer to this job is always avoiding questions regarding the job. It just makes your imagination go wild .. if you get what i mean.

So what am i feeling before i step into the office? Confuse, curious, alittle uncomfortable. The unknown definitely puts many people in this position don't you agree? Well for that matter, i decided to ask turtle along since she has alot of free time and wouldn't mind taking a job [that i was told as flexible and good ]. Plus, i need another person with me to sorta relate how i feel. That would certainly reduce the anticipation spinning in me.

I wasn't very affected in case if u r wondering. I am not feaking out. Just that you know, another friend with you in an unknown enviromment gives you an ease of heart. And the turtle with me gives good perspectives too. [ sometimes only .. ha!]

*continued*

After a while of chatting, i started reading my favourite Sunday Times & Lifestyle. It seems that i've forgotten about Office rules [ SAF taught me alittle !] No reading newspaper and sleeping in the office. I was asked politely by one of the sub-managers [ they wear coat in the office] not to read. And so i slouch in my chair. [ unkowningly which i later came to realise my rude way of sitting in the office. ] One of the sub-managers came to talk to the 2 of us. He started the conversation by getting to know turtle and me better. He asked which school we are from, what is our dreams and what we plan to do after graduation. Here comes the interesting part. He starts bombarding the 2 of us with stats. Like " Do you know that in India alone, they are producing 5 million graduates per year. ." something like that. And here i start to wonder what's all thsi about. I know about the high rate of production of graduates around us. And its not just in India alone. In China, in the U.S. , Europe, and the list goes on. So what is he actually trying to say?

As i listen on, he rattle non-stop on the debts we'll owe after graduation. 30k of debts are how much we owe after we are out of university. And if not that's all he starts asking personal questions about whether we are going to marry at the age of 30. "Oh normal Singaporeans will want to marry at that age! Unless you are those single-minded or career-minded individuals .." So what are the rest? abnormal?

Hey that's not all. He tells turtle about the life of a researcher .. and how hard it is to be a researcher because there are alot of hurdles to clear. For me, i gave about the same response because i haven been very clear about my future job endeavours. I still can't decide yet. And when he pops that question suddenly to me, its very hard for me to answer. I guess it does open up my eyes alittle about how little time i have left to decide.

That's besides the point. What he has basically rattle on for about close to an hour is about our grim future. Like what turtle says ... he's proclaiming the end-time prophesies to us. Prices of everything is inflating. We are in debt unknowingly ! Competition is raging furiously. You'll need to work forevever! Life is uncertain. Need any more sad news? I have more to share! This is the first impression he's presenting to us ... With presenters like this, who needs the devil?

Above that, he loves to ask us questions about stats and also much about our future life plan. "How are you sure you are going to get a stable job ? There are 5 big economic recessions you know....", " how are you sure you'll get what you want? It's one thing to live for a dream and another to live for reality..."

Basically it just shows one thing. He approaches us with a "scare and awe" presentation . Sad to say it doesn't work on us...

I joke with Wee Kiang earlier about showing the presenter my hand ... and say "Talk to my hand! ha" It seems like he's really asking for it. I shalln't rattle about his no-common-sense attitude. Basically even after i told him we get what he's saying. He completely ignores what i just said and continued rattling on.... He must have pins stuck on his head. I just basically lower my cap and shut off completely infront of him. That sure sends him off. After about another 5 mins of chatter, he finally gets off.....

Wee kiang explains to us NTI's way of promoting Network marketting. He mentions about MLM[ multi-lateral marketting which is more selfish] and the binary marketting [which is NTI's method of marketting. Less selfish is the idea they are promoting]. He then mentions about the huge path of success it brings to employees who engage in this formulae.

Later 2 guys came over to try to talk with us but it seems they also lost interest in talking with us. One of them said something like " we can't help those who can't help themselves... " You can see the implication behind it rite? I was down there listening to all these crap they throw at us. I wonder how turtle felt about all these statements all the time. Her body language shows it all actually.

Here's one extract from SgForums.
[ More info here ]

Dear all, I am a student. I am writing this because I have just came back from the NTI Paris office in Shenton Way. I was asked to go there by a friend who was in turned invited by an NTI Paris employee. Now, after listening to 2 hours of drivel from the NTI employee, all I have to say is that NTI Paris is a devious and despicable pyramid scam...

We've been thru 4 hours btw.

Pardon me if I am wrong, but isn't the main concept of any business, MLM or not, to sell *products* and not to recruit people into the company for monetary gains? This was the overwhelming impression that I was given at NTI Paris. The employee who talked to me consistently refused to answer questions about the actual products (aromatherapy stuff) that they were selling, concentrating instead on the amount of money that I can earn each month by building up the pyramid under me. He emphasized very strongly on the fact that money is mainly made from recruitment; each time someone joins your binary-downlink tree, you get money from it. When questioned about what the company actually have to does for a living, he evaded the question, and zealously went back to talking about the immense monetary benefits of creating "business centers." He continuously points to the benefits of buying business centers and bringing in more people to the fold, going so far as to warn me not to spread the word too much, because as of now, I am "not sufficiently trained to advertise the company," and that the time will come when I will be sufficiently trained to advertise this business plan to further recruits.

Now i'm not warned not to spread the word. I think that's partly because the managers are quite unimpress with our attitudes. We aren't impress with their attitudes either.

Now this begs the question, if the business plan is so amazingly good that every employee become instant millionaires if they work hard enough, then why is there a need for such secrecy? Also, and the more pertinent question is, WHERE DOES ALL THIS MONEY COME FROM? Simple mathematics will tell you that it comes from all the people at the bottom of the pyramid, the people who have been sweet-talked into giving hundreds or even thousands on dollars to the company, with no hope of getting any returns either because the market is already saturated, or because the people at the top of the pyramid has run away with all the money. The NTI Paris employee frequently brings up the subject of "following your dreams" and "becoming what you want to be," as do most MLM employees in this thread. I encourage people to do their best in life too, and to strive to make as much money as they can, if that is indeed their aim. But the question is, AT WHAT COST? Is it worth it financing your dreams by bilking other people out of their hard-earned money? That is crime, and at a time like this, I cannot possibly condone such dastardly business acts.

He might have put it in a very extreme way but i must say i felt the same way too. I was quite disturbed when i see Wee Kiang spending every ounce of effort to get us in. He's never like this before. [infront of my eyes in this case]. I also feel bad if things dun go the way it should be cos it's wasting his time and effort too.

The names "James Phang" and "Dato Dr. Eric Tan Eng Huat" was frequently mentioned during my talk with the NTI Paris employee. It was mentioned in such reverence, suggesting that they are saintly figures who have made it rich, and are interested in helping us commoners to be "part of the wealth" too. Believe none of this. If indeed they are aware of this, they are cheats indeed, and very malicious ones too. They are the rich who wants to get richer by swindling the poor of even more wealth. Charitable businessmen? More like decadent frauds. And the employees who use their names as part of the recruitment speech should be deeply ashamed. Now you may ask, why am I so outraged? Am I working for another MLM that wants to see NTI Paris go down? No, I am not. In fact, I stand to gain nothing from NTI Paris' demise, if that occurs. But I do have friends who have invested much of their money in the scheme, and are prepared to further recruit more innocent people into the scheme to finance their earnings. They do not realize that the business plan is fundamentally flawed, or that the money that they get comes from people at the "bottom of the pile." It is never a Win-Win situation, it is Win-Lose; the people at the top of the pyramid gets richer, the people at the bottom gets poorer. And don't pull the curtains over my eyes by telling me that the pyramid can go on getting deeper forever ... a fool is born every minute, but a binary tree made up of "business partners" won't go beyond 50 levels even if you include all the people who have ever set foot on the earth, past and present.

His statements makes some sense alittle. The whole thing does smell fishy from my point of view. I don't want to condemn since i don't know much about business and the plan they are presenting.

Just want to make afew points. First, if you are going to present something, never follow this NTI manger's way of approach. Unless you seriously want to talk to a hand .... Second, it's hard for me to say that this company's offer is all scam. NTI might seem weird in its way in doing things but that doesn't mean that they are bad and all out to cheat. For all you know, its more about the ignorance in us that cuts us off from the message they are bringing. I don't take stands so easily [ which is why i take an awful long time to write a GP essay.] Its my habit to see the many sides of things. So for one, even though i was very put off at the start .... shu ting [ my other classmate who's also in NTI] present to us in a much better way. She show us about why the manager approach us this way [ which i still feel its a rubbish-way of approach ] and also how she sees NTI in her light. Just as turtle put it, shuting feels its a personal character and skill development rather than a money-making venture. She relate to us how she feel which is a good thing to do as we see a better perspective ... a more friendlier approach i would say.

I am not really hungry for a job. But like what Shuting said, i need finance. I don't wanna struggle with allowance because of the case with my granny. I want to be more independent. To learn to support myself and den support others. So i will not totally throw this idea away but i will have a good talk with my uncle about it.

Pray for me for good time management. Thx pat for giving me the sites :)

Literature award

[ More info here ]

Abstract from Straits Times

~~~
A TEEN who prefers news magazines to novels has won an international award for ENglish Literature students.Candice Wan Shu Ting picked up the 2004 Angus Ross prize, an annual award for the best performancein the A-level English examination by candidates outside Britain.The former Saint Andrew's Junior College divinity student, who confessed to reading just three novels in the last two years, makes no apology for not being a bookworm.
~~~

Gee I din know its from my batch.





Men she's pretty cool looking :P




Abstract from SAJC webbie.

~~~
"I beg your pardon?" was probably the first thought that came to my mind, when our principal Mrs. Lim congratulated me for winning the Angus Ross Prize 2005 over the phone two days ago. Saying that I was prepared to receive such a prestigious award would be an utter fabrication. Saying that I was surprised would be the understatement of the century. And in all honesty - saying that I achieved this award based on my own merit would be a blatant denial of God's work in my life.

I guess the main message I want to convey is that every student in Singapore stands an equal chance to excel. Often as students we focus too much on the unchangeable aspects of our lives - like the school we are in, the teachers who lecture us, and the undeniably stressful education system in Singapore. While it is valuable to make informed opinions of status quo, isn't it even more worthwhile to focus positively on the aspects of life that we do have control over?

Attitude - a proactive and optimistic outlook - is the key difference between an achiever and a drifter. The desire to overcome odds, to challenge status quo, and to break out of the psychological cages that we place ourselves in at times. Rather than complain about that which we cannot change, why not seek to make a unique difference through becoming an example that others yearn to replicate?

At the end of the day, all schools function primarily through, and for, a shared purpose: To develop students into mature people who can then contribute back to society with their skills and nurtured talents. Thus, is the study environment important to a student's academic success? Most assuredly. I wouldn't have done quite as well without the amazing patience and tireless efforts of the many teachers in SAJC. However, it is imperative to remind oneself that what counts most isn't the external variables, but the internal conviction to be positive and motivated in your approach to education.

I come from humble beginnings - I have no S papers to boast of, no Humanities Scholarship certificate to wave around in pride, and no national awards to my name. But what I do possess - and what all students can find in themselves if they search hard enough - is a genuine passion for learning. Be adventurous; be excited about taking education into your own hands and venturing out into the vast oceans of knowledge out there. Opportunities await you, but as students we must learn to take that critical first step towards our own future, lest the rest of our lives be spent aimlessly floating along the rat race while we watch others successfully pave exits out of it.

After all is said and done, should a person's background, or academic track record, or school name hinder him/her from breaking the boundaries of age-old stereotypes? Dreams will only remain as mere untouchable fantasies if we rest on our laurels and watch as the colours of the day fade into nothingness. Goals will only remain as mere targets if we don't take a step forward in the right direction. Nothing is ever impossible, that much is certain. Traditions, too, may erode in time to come. A precedent has been set; now, the torch is in your hands. Run the race with perseverance, and you will be duly rewarded. My advice to you? Smile, keep your chin up, and be tough. Give God a fighting chance in your lives - because He will surely bless you beyond that which you could ever hope for or imagine!
~~~

Insipiring huh? How i wish i can write or type like that :

I like what she said about giving God a fighting chance. That's what i'm going to do. This is what i need to read. Message that inspires and pushes me everyday :D

She has a pretty cool concept about embracing education. Somthing that i had in my past .... Something that makes me appear more of like a nerd-side. I guess i need to approach it in the way she did. To balance and maintain the passion to learn more and give more in return.

If you fail to learn, you learn to fail. Haa.. modified from "if you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

Easter Experience.

Well i shall blog a very short entry for this.

I was in SIS at around noon. [Gotta serve as usher.] I helped out in the logistics for awhile, carrying boxes of New-comers introductory package up to the terraces of SIS. It wasn't a heavy-duty work since we are provided with trolleys to transport the boxes around. I got alittle scratch cos of my little carelessness when carrying the boxes. After helping out in the Logistics, i was informed thry my handphone that i have to serve in traffic [ and most likely external traffic]. This means i will miss the Easter drama cause i will be ushering outside the stadium !! I was kinda sad, so i prayed that somehow someway, i'll be able to catch the full, if not alittle of the performance. And praise the Lord, I got transfer to serve in East terrace [meaning to say i can enjoy the performance inside]. Yea^^

The easter drama was quite nice. It is shorter than last year but the message behind it was good and clear. I particularly like the part where the drums come in, and Jesus ruled over Satan in hell. That was very cool! The ballet dance was also very nice! Well done Easter crew! :D

The special thing that happen this year is the Healing part of the Easter service. That is certainly something new! And though it isn't as big scale and as grand as what we saw in Benny Hinn's miracle Healing crusade, I can still feel the presence of God and feel alittle tingling sensation on my palms and fingers. I think that is real cool. Simply lovely :)

Well guess that's all i should blog. There isn't much time left to do what i like to do this days. Have to plan wisely and allocate my time properly. Gee i feel kidna squashed up at times ... like what i am feeling now. Very uncomfortable. I guess this might be the part of growth. Handling stress and learning to deal with them properly......

Rock my day..

Men its been awhile since i have so much fun ... on Good Friday .. More like Awesome Friday, Marvelous friday ... bla bla bla..

Ha! The day began when i bolt out of my house to meet my friends. Well i suppose i can put it in what Xiu wen likes to say ... I was suppose to meet at 12 and i am still at home at 12. [just left home :P]. Reason being i need to finish my grandma's super nice fried noodle :D.

On the way, i was kinda messed up. My friend was already at Plaza Singapura queueing in the ticket booth. [Gonna watch movie mah]. Then i was really panick-y at that moment. Firstly, my good and punctual friend [Ken] at the ticketing booth said that there are alot of people . This spells a great disaster [Tsunami!!]. I am afraid that it'll be like last time, when some of us can't watch the movie because there are no seats left or when there are only front row seats left. Secondly, turtle wants to watch Howl's movie castle or Robots. I don't have very good impression on both movies. I was desiring to watch Son of the Mask, Million dollar baby or House of Fury. [hahaha]. There, so its alittle disturbing. Lastly, i am worried about Chong. He has to meet Janet at 3 + and Janet told me earlier that Chong will not be able to join us today because he is organising the programmes later part of today. This means she needs him and i don't want to create problems later because of this. So with this 3 problems, plus the fact that i have to make fast decision because my dear fren ken is reaching the counter, i had a pretty big headache. I zoom to the ticketing booth from Douby Gaut MRT and [Thank God!] Ken was not at the counter yet. I met with him and after discussing with him and the slightly agitated lady at the counter, i bought 4 tix [excluding Chong] for Song of the Mask. I shan't explain how i arrive at this magical decision but its done and done.

Later, Ken and me met Chong, turtle and Pat. We headed down to BK but eventually settled in KFC for lunch. I din eat anything of course ... just happily watch them eat ^^. We talk alot of funny stuffs. Let me try to recall alittle of it. Yah i told them about my 5 day BMT encounters. About the drug lessons we have learnt. You know ... the hardcore drug addicts who chew ice and glass shards to get "high" easily. The various ways of getting "high". I also "proudly" recited the 7 SAF core values. About how people around me goes puking around during water parade. We also talk about academic stuffs ... about the funny things that happen during our examination practicals. We have a pretty good laugh throughout the whole chit-chat session.

Then we went up to the arcade to play. First Ken and Me played the drums. Ken is very evil!!!! He always wanna choose the harder mode ... and i kept whinning that its my first time playing!! Its not that hard and pretty fun !!! Most of the time, when i lost the beat, i will anyhow hit. Ha we played co-operative mode .. so we have to [both] perform up to standard to clear each round. We only reach round 3. [Though round 3 is the easiest :D]. Its a pretty fun game and Doraemon and me saw one super-pro guy playing it before at Bugis. Cool game :D!!! Then Ken and Me played Time Crisis 2. Men i am a sucker for this gun game. Really lousy !!! AARGGHHHHH !! my score is always lower then Ken's! Chong played pretty welll after he took over me in the game. He cleared quite a big load of the enemies and got a pretty good score after every round. I feel like a stupid-drunkard-pathetic-cannot_make_it-dumb-dumb cowboy. At least i look good with a gun on my hand. [Ha!] Ken completed the game with 3 tokens. Chong played 2 tokens but din make it to the end. I pick up some tips from them [ Yuen lai! i need to take cover more! Ha! i'll be invincible next time i play this!]

The time ends perfectly. Its just the right time for us to buy food and drinks and head on to see the Mask in action. After we got all our stuffs, we bid farewell to Chong [he's meeting Janet] and the remaining 4 of us stroll happily to Theatre 3. We saw a Aceh[Tsunami] advertisement which i mistaken it as an Army advertisment. [Brainwashed by Army. Spent too much time in Tekong -_-]. Well i would say the movie is the most animated movie i saw. Really. What i mean about it being animated is not as like ... the high-end animation you see it in Matrix [ bullet-time, time-freeze motion effects]. Its simply like a cartoon cum real-life mixture of presentation. Alot of wacky stuffs. Very cute i must say. Alittle funny. Very suitable for 6-8 years old of age. [Like some toy labels classification. ha] Well like Pat said, i don't think the movie is worth my 8.50. And the end of the movie, i just lay stunt on my chair; feeling weird all over after this crazy movie.

Men men men, later we went window shopping. We visited the Comics stall. They have cos-players dressed up in Naruto Characters [Yea Naruto rox!]. The Cos-players were handing promotion offer liflets. There is nothing much in the shops that is really interesting [except the cool Naruto figurines and keychains ^^] We later went to Spotlight [supposed artistic shop as turtle said]. We saw alot of interesting stuffs. Flask in weird shapes. Coffee crusher. Salt Grinder. Curtains and mats. Later the cos-play fever hit us. We decided to dress up as angels and superheroes. [cool!] The passer-bys were pretty shock by our outrageous behaviour. Taking items around us and turning into lunatics on camera shots. [hee overdescribed ourselves. We actually look pretty lovely :X]

After cos-playing + picture taking, we flew down to Clementi for the 2nd part of our programme ... Pot luck!

Pot Luck 2005

We met the rest of the gang there. Chong and Janet inclusive! After reaching clementi, Pat, me and ken hurried to Fairprice to buy drinks, tissue napkins and plastic cups. Then we hurried back and waited till Serene arrive before we move on to Shamus's house.[ I feel like calling him Slim shady. Just sounds cooler :D]. Shady lives in at pine grove, 4 stops thru 165 to his house form Clementi interchange. We arrive at his house very soon. Very big wor. alittle like 3 storeys high. We quickly poured all the food out all around the table, and began feasting. I filled up my stomach pretty quickly today, with so many food around us. There was marinated chicken wings, fried rice [ by Shady's maid and from pat too!], Jelly deserts with fruits in it, longan desert, chicken macnuggets, Tiong Bahru Famous Fishballs, pingpong doughnuts, potato salad, hot dogs, turtle's scientist-made chocolate-cornflakes-coated mashmallows and twisties. yum yum rite? After feasting and chatting, we were all pretty full [arduh.] So we went on to Games. The first ice-breaker is a simple game to know the people around you. We have a 16 boxes of characteristics that we have to find people to fill in. For example, there'll be a box saying i like Maths. So you'll have to run around the room to find a person who likes Maths and get him/her to sign in the box. This is what i've gotten so far.

Cool game rite? We learn quite alot from this game. Played this quite long ago ... and never expect to play this here again. Next we play Jesus versus Satan. A parody of Murder and detective. Jesus will be the detective, Murderer will be satan. Satan is suppose to convert the rest of the crowd. Once Satan converts 7 people or more, Satan wins. The purpose of Jesus is simply to catch Satan before all hell break loose. We played 3 rounds which lasted pretty long and in the last round, there is a total of 2 satans, 1 jesus and 1 paul [the role is same as Jesus]. [Pretty creative and fun game :)].

Next we played team games. 4 teams in all and we played Treasure hunt . We are assigned afew colours that we must hunt. Supposed we are given 5 red, 4 yellow, 3 grey and 1 blue .. we have to find 5 objects that are red, 4 that are yellow .. so on and so for ... within a time limit of 40 seconds. Pretty simple and fun game. Our super-powered team [of course!] emerge first! hahaha. The rest of the team's ranking dun need to bother. [ha!]

Lastly, we played an act and guess game. There will be one guess-er in each team and the team members must stand in a line and act out the phrase for the guess-er to guess. 1 and a half minutes, 10 items to guess. And then the ball starts rolling. It was a pretty fun game, kinda little time to act out the actions. Our team unforuntately, due to unforseen mishaps [ha!] scored only 3 points. The best team scored 4 points [ guess 4 correctly] and the lousiest team scored [2 points]. So we din do that bad either :). After the games, we gave the organisers of this pot luck event their due credits [ applause!!!] and then we packed up the place alittle. We took some group photos too! Shall show all the photos in my next entry. See this post very long liao rite?

Men this day is quite a blast. Good fellowship, nice games, good food and i get to know alittle more of everyone. Very eventful ! Turtle said she felt the presence of God before we pray for the food. That means the Lord is with us!!! Such a blessed event we have. My friend Pattrick seems to enjoy himself too. I really feel he needs to socialise more ... and to mention alittle about him, he lives alone by himself and he takes care of himself pretty well. I admire his sense of independence. It is worthy to be practised :).

Thank God for this wonderful event.. Another collection of good memories for recollection in the future. Hope everyone have a good Good Friday!

SKW.

Finally, we are dedicated work to do. And that's when i got introduced to this new term : SKW. In short for Sai Kang Warrior [ or shit work warrior ]. We started work first today by typing an introduction of ourselves and send that on an email to the whole NSSC [ National Servicemen Service Centre ]. I wrote alot of crap about what i do in BMT and in my JC life. Other than that, we took special effort to stone all the way till lunch.

I met Joel from CMPB and had a chat with him after lunch. He showed me the Games room in CMPB where they play carrom at the end of the day before they release. Their unit is so cool and less boring than mine. Well, soon i got to realise that that wasn't very true...

At around 4pm, we receive our order to clean chairs and cover up ugly labels. So much for admin work. We clean the dirty old chairs and what's more ... there are chairs with coffee-like stains which attracted a pool of ants. After that, we were told to remove the labels we cover up and scrap off all the ugly labels. From cleaning of the chairs and doing double work, we ended off at 8pm and we went off that place at around 8.30 after the debrief. Well i admire and really salute Madam Karen who was with us. She helped us clean the chairs and even offered me her dinner when there was a miscommunication and some of us did not get the free packet of food. Though the management might be alittle cock up at times, I am still glad we have at least a good caring leader on top of us. After hearing more stories about our unit, I was really sianzified. I heard from the seniors that we get OT [Overtime] like this very often and it might sometimes last afew days. I am very afraid that i will not have enough time to study during week days. The apprention is really killing me.

I need to ge the peace of God.

Sleepy day

My first day as a clerk was very "exciting". Just as i board the bus towards Alexandra road, i found out that i forgot to bring my name tag. I had to rush back to get my tag and took a cab down. I arrive at CMPB at 7.35. Very good timing .. i wondered around ... trying to figure out where i should report to. Atlas i arrive at NSSC [ National Servicemen Service Centre ], and found out that i am one of the earliest clerk there. Pretty cool ? Yea.. i spend the whole morning staring into space.

Pretty soon, i was directed with all the rest of the admin staffs to Defence Tower B to listen to a lecture about discipline. I was fighting to stay awake. Later, we went back to slack for another 1/2 hour before we went for lunch.

The food there is quite cheap. Just like canteen price food in JC/ Sec sch. After lunch, i went back to read newspaper until 1pm. For us, we are not allowed to read, sleep, during office hours unless during breaks. We are briefed about how to take leaves and report sick.... We have to be punctual, and finish assigned task properly. Then we are introduce around the office place. And then we slack all the way to 5.30 - our dismissal time. So its a pretty dull day. We only watch people work and the other admin staffs crapping about when they are going to ORD. The rest of the time, i cant find a better thing to do but to sleep but of course i can't. So i began to talk to other recruits .... And bam the day ends.

Well i am kinda worried for afew things. I am worried that i will not have time to study or take night course. Seeing how sleepy i can go at the end of the day, i was pretty discourage. I am also worried that i can't register for retaking my A's. How am i going to juggle with duties and restudying my A's [and gyming if possible? ]

This is pretty challenging

Bright and Sunny day.

I am very happy that i finally got my spiritual breakthrough which i have long for so long. I am very happy ... but not contented. I want more :). Basically in this 2 weeks, everything went on quite smoothly. What i mean by that is, God open my eyes and change my perception about problems. The flow is pretty good .... My lessons come in time to reinstate my faith.

I can say the new challenge i'm facing now regards to handling my feelings and emotions. That is something kinda surprising because i usually have good control over it. Its just so funny that now I can't control well on my feelings. So i began to wonder why ... and that's when i discover that God's teaching me another thing. To depend on him. Just as how simply Pastor Sy put it ... to lift up your problems to God ... and let him help you or teach u how to deal with it. I'm going let the Carpenter work on me!!! and let the Holy Spirit fill me everyday ....

Another small lesson i've learn is to be more child-like when approaching God.

About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, " Which of us is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?" Jesus called a small child over to him and put the child among them. Then he said, " I assure you, unless you turn from your sins and become a little children, you will never get into the kingdom of Heaven .... "

Matthew 18 :1-4


When we look through the eys of a kid at Jesus, you'll get to see him clearer. That's something pretty cool.

Tomorrow is my first day at work. Let it be exciting and hopefully not as boring as PES E BMT. I pray that i'll have an understanding superior that will see my needs... I really have to thank God for the good location that i've been posted to.[ oops forgot to share in testimony :P. ]



And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Matthew 8:28

More about PES E

Yea ... like annonymous said ... well probably the title[When boys become men] is not appropriate. Guess i am too sleepy to think of a good title at that time. Well the title sounds kinda cool anyway.

Basically, not experiencing any training means i am not pushed to give my best. I'm not push to be mature. I am not force to learn basic tolerance and survival skills. That is something i think is very true not just for me ... but for the rest of the company. People will go in and come out just the same ..

Well on the other part about making friends .... i would say that i agree that should be the way ... but probably i should say more about how i feel at that time.

First i feel kinda bored, and when i am sianzified, i just lose mood to do things. Secondly, I must admit i am not very good socializing with people. I am trying very hard but i can't talk to people very fluently and relate to them ... since some past incidents in my secondary school. So with this 2 things around ... i really don't know how to talk with them. Another thing is ... like i said, almost all who use an F word when i am around. Not that I can't accept F words, i am very okay with people using vulgarities around me. I don't use F words because i think firstly it doesn't really build character but destroys. Even if it is just some casual remarks, it can be rather raunchy. Its my own personal principle to restrict using them. You can call me a sissy but that's just me.

Well for that matter, its not that i can't associate with them. Through the week, i've been observing their character and what they do. I've seen very cheerful ones, mostly rebellious many quiet ones and some very sociable ones too. My buddy is very sociable and can easily relate to the rest[ using F words of course]. I do talk to the rest too but most of the time, i'll just sit on my bed and hear them crap. One Indian guy started talking about God and many people got turned off. Very obvious that they are not interested. He seems unaware that he's topic in the conversation is a great turn-off to many people. He is quite interesting to a point because he loves to blabber about principles and some General knowledge stuffs which i find that they are not totally correct. Just to give an example, he said he has moral principles. He will abstain from this and that But the thing is, he said if a girl offers herself to him, he will not reject the offer. I was like ... "huh? what are u trying to say." He said he is a flexible pole, a person who changes his principles according to the circumstances. Very conveniently put. So you see what i mean? His points hardly makes sense.

I must say one thing, i am not criticiaing them. I just want to say that though he has some silly things to say, when i talk to him.. most of the things he mention are quite interesting talk about subject. I talk to quite alot of people there and from there i've realise that " i shouldn't make plain observations from what i see or here." He educated me alittle bit about his religion - Hinduism and we have quite a nice chat.

The thing is, i've learn alot from them from this area. Alot of rebellious guys have a kind side in them. Their strong belief in certain areas about life can be qutie admirable. Things like saying they will die for his twin brother really makes me envy that they have such a good brother. Well i'll try to blog more about what other things i'vel earn but basically, the PES E batch really miss alot of fun. Everything ... friends, skills, core values, attitudes are all fostered from training. Being PES E isn't really a good path for a soldier. From the scrap books i've discovered in the games room, i realise i actually miss a whole big deal of stuffs in the actual BMT. BMT is never meant to be dead boring. Our batch really miss alot

Life back as a civilian.

Well i got alittle depress today. I won't say much. I just wanan say Pastoer Sy Roger rocks. He is a pastor who is very dramatic and extremely good in puting words to a picture. You can definitely catch the picture he is conjuring in your mind. He is a very cool pastor i must say!

I got Starhub cable TV today. I am amazed by the new programms i have now in my TV. Alot of interesting channels. Too bad i wun have time to watch much. It's going to get real buzy..

Who says inperfectness cannot be loved?

When boys become Men

Presenting life of Pes E. All recrods below.

Day of release.

Rank: Private!
Date of POC : 18/3
Feeling : Relieve..


During my phase of bored to death when other train to death, my friends send me nice jokes. I am sayin that thee thought is nice. Haa ..

Here are some :
What

Joke ar? haa.. Jason looks good with his new Hairstyle.

U r the biggest joke.

I like the denial. It has a good view of the Spinx


How nice of them >:

For the last day, we had evaluation. They got the comments from every single one of us. Some said that there were too much water parades. Some said they have too little sleep. Some say there are no girls. Some say they have learn alot about community building and experience something new. For me everything is crap. I mention about the part that they have no games activity because on the enlistment paper, they did mention that we get to play so community games. They reinforce the point about discipline and other stuffs we have to conduct.

Later we had an anti-drug talk. I guess this is the only talk that i find kinda interesting from all the rest. Why leh? I learn that humans can get "high" in 3 main ways other than taking drugs. One is from hunger. When you are ver hungry, all food taste kinda heavenly to you. Thereby producing the high feeling. 2nd is thirst. Last is Sex. And drugs is the tool that help drug abusers to by-pass this 3 ways to get high easily. Pretty interesting info.

The officer also introduce us to te different type of drugs. Inhalers, Ice, Ecstacy, heroin, Ketamine. The case studies are also pretty interesting. There are people who actually chew glass and ice powerder ... so that they can bleed and the drug can enter thru the sores into the blood and to their head much faster.... giving them the high feeling much faster. That is very hardcore. And he also says it takes 50 panadols to kill a person. Probably any number lesser than that, you'll just get paralysis or something i think. But i cant imagine getting 50 pills down into your stomach. A very lame way to commit suicide.

Out of all the 5 days, the 5th day i feel is the most fruitful, Through out the 5 days, i have not been mixing much. I just dun feel like mixing and also feel kinda uncomfortable in that environment. At the start, i admit i kinda dislike some of them cos of their attitude problems. As much as i tried to overlook their attitude or their bad habits, i feel pretty uncomfortable with some of them. I just bear a straight poker face thru-out most of the time ... I've learn from this few days to be more open-hearted and like what pastor say ... think like a big man. Not a small whiney fellow. I learn alot about Hinduism from a guy.

The guy told me thay hinduism has 33 billion Gods. Their religion has 6 denominations ... just like Christianity has denominations. The only main difference betweeen each denomination is that each denomination have their own perception of the one supreme God out of the billions of it. He said some of it are just angels like what Christianity termed. And that they believe in reincarnation and that some people can even remember their past lives. He also said that that God lives in us too. Angel and the devil also live in a human body which results to our actions. I din debate with him but i choose to understand more first. Much of what he explain, i notice has alittle similarity of christianity. Interesting insight from him. I ask him if he has any divine encounters, and he apparently have none. We chatted alot about each of our faith and i told him abit about how the promise land is given to the chosen people of Israel.

More importantly, i chatted with a smoker about his twin brother. He has a twin brother in Leopard company, which is just next to us. He said he is very very close to hsi brother and they are so close that they are willing to die for each other. That really impress me. But above all, it might seem like a very simple relationship, but i really envy him to have someone that close to him. He told me alot alot about his brother and his concerns about his twin brother. I only tell him one thing ... that is most of the time, your closed ones wouldn't want to listen to advices. They only need your support. Support him as long as whatever he do is right, and just.

I've learn alot and i pray that i will not lose what i've learn from this trip. Initially, i felt this 5 days were a waste of time. If i have time and if i can still remember, i will blog about what i've learn about human personality and relationship. Its pretty hard to blog all the 5 days in one shot. I will start training myself to sleep early and wake up early !:)

Praise the lord i got into CMPB. I've been hoping to get in because i think that is the nearest mainland branch from my house. This means i don't have to waste too much time travelling. Now i need to pray for a good understanding boss ... to work out my alevel plans. May it all turn well.... :D




Training to be soldiers ... Fight for our land....

Army Canteen

[Backdated Record]

The last 2 days have nothing surprising. It is cool that we got to eat french fries and fish and crips today for lunch. If i din remember wrongly, yesterday we had spaghetti for lunch. Food here has certainly improved compared to the past [ as i've learn from my friends ]. I've learn that the food are nutritiously prepared and calculated before preparing and cooking. No longer we eat splats after splats of unkown brown stuffs from the ladle. Another officer also told us that actually, we are very lucky. The cook house will cook good food only when there is an occasion .. liek a celebration or when there is a new group of intake coming into tekong. According to him, usually the veggies are brown and not as tasty as it is now. Anyway its not very tasty also. I wonder how its like being much worst than what we are eating..... still it is good to get food to eat. A hungry man is easily satisfied :)

On top to the usual boring lectures, we went to visit the e-mart and the SAF canteen. The canteen is very old with like only 2 or 3 functioning stalls. I din bother to look around. I just bought an ice cream and slowly enjoy it at one corner of the canteen. I also bought pop corn from the e-mart. There are arcade machines there too. Very old machines but quite up to date games surprisingly. Metal Slug 5, KOF 2004 and another Garou Mark of the wolves kinda game. The best part is ... the game cause only 10 cents to 20 cents per game. Amazing men. The cheapest arcade machine i've ever seen.

Later i ate pop corn and had a good wonderful night. Its my last night there, and i can't sleep. I've been thinking alot. Can't remember much of what i thought ... but its pretty enriching i would say. Through-out the time i was awake, i notice that the sergeant entered our bunk at least 5 times to do spot check to see whether we are sleeping. -_-

Jeez, i am very happy that i am booking out tomorrow. Life will go much better now... with more colour.

Resort Tekong

[Backdated Record]

Every morning, i will wake up before 5 am. We are suppose to wake up at 5.30 and fall in at 5.45. I was kinda fustrated at first because i am force to wake up by the lights and noise at such an early time. I felt that there isn't a need to wake up so early just as what the sergeant has said. The sergeant told us off yesterday not to wake up and fall in so early. And i felt that way too. Seems kinda pointless. I read bible and brush my teeth. By 5.15, i sit on my bed staring into space till its fall-in time. I was going "God let this day pass quickly" ... everything is so dull and we are indirectly prisoned in the past 2 days with nothing else to do except the normal Army routine that even the unfit can do. What are those?

Water Parade
No sweat. I did this so much before during Secondary school scouts. Drink up the water from a bottle provided. About 500ml. Initially, it was ok. But for no apparent reason, at odd times of the day, we would have water parade. One before we eat breakfast. One after we eat breakfast. One when we fall-in. One before lectures. I was going " OMG!?". The main reason for water parade is because of the fear of dehydration in soldiers. But for PES E's ... we did nothing, sweat little ... and have so much water parades for what?!? For the very first time in my life, i actually feel full before i finish my meal. Thanks to all the water i drank very much early before. Did i mention i pee alot?

Before every water parade, we have to chant a cheer.

Sergeant: Bottles up!
Recruits: Bottles up(echo)

Sergeant: Caps off!
Recruit: Caps off!

Sergeant: Never wake up is it? I don't care if you are ******* Pes E's. You better shout.
Recruit: Yes sergeant!

Sergeant: Bottles up!
Recruits: Bottles up(echo)

Sergeant: Caps off!
Recruit: Caps off(echo)!

Sergeant: Drink Up!
Recruit: Drink Up(echo)!

Recruit:
SAF 7 core values are, Loyalty to Country, leadership, discipline, proffesionalism, fighting spirit, ethics, Care for Soldiers!!!!

*gulps down water forcefully*

Sergeant: Bottles down!
Recruit: Mohawk!

Sergeant: Caps on!
Recruit: Caps on(echo)!





Marching
We will march everywhere. From point A to point B. It looks very ugly because most people don't know how to march. We march from bunk to cookhouse. Bunk to canteen. Practically everywhere we go, we'll swing our hands in "perfect" unison. During marching, we also sing army songs and cheers.

Have you ever wonder?
Why must we serve?
B'cos we love our land.
And want it to be free to be free.. Hiah!

something like that. I never actually sing but hear other contingent sing. The sergeant dun wanna teach us songs. Bad sergeant.




4D number

Mine is M 2204.
M stands for my company Mohawk. 2204 stands for company 2, platoon 2, bed 4.

Basically that's all, we did that is kinda same to the rest.


So what did we do today? After breakfast, we have our usual water parade, Then we have a long footdrill till 9.30. During the footdrill, i realise that the Sergeant Major can't teach footdrill well. Y did i say that? He said that Behenti- command should land on your left leg and then you can stop marching. He keeps giving the command on the right leg. I was like omg ... my sergeant major really cannot make it. I am kinda pissed ... and i am really piss by the way he teach. I don't know why. Maybe i just lost it when our platoon march so horribly. But yet i understand its first time for most of us. Just find the whole footdrill alittle crap and waste of time. Footdrills like what the sergeant said in lectures ... are meant to enforce discipline and teamwork. I clearly see no improvements at all in whatever principles they are promoting. Sigh...

After that, its lectures and lectures. Lectures are really challenging in Army. Even i don't fall asleep so easily in SAJC lectures. The subject they are talking is extremely boring. Mostly National education. Some are which i have learn a dozen times over in school. Repeating in the dull army lecture tone isn't helping at all. So the challenge is to try to stay awake while the sergeants and officers are babbling away. The good thing is some officers allow you to fall asleep right under their nose. My friend beside me started snoring and i was poking him everywhere to wake him up. He really slept very peacefully. Amazing.

I finally discover a big jackpot that might possibly kill boredom..... Games room. Just a floor down, is games room. I can watch TV, read newspaper, play pool, play carrom, play ping pong .. dance.... The place really look like a resort now. After receiving the last orders of the day, which is usually after our night snack, i would head down to the games room to relax. ITs not very crowded. Most people stay in bunk to exchange vulgar craps. Some went to smoke in the smoker's corner. I am happily playing carrom and alittle soccer machine with other people there. Now, life is slightly better now. Still, my urge to get out of tekong has not cease.

What PES E is all about.

[Backdated Record]

Life in Army is never boring. It can't ever be. Unless you are in PES E. Army has the tendency to do work in extremes. This is good. It brings out the best in soldiers. And form there soldiers can give what Army requires. It applies for us as well. Only in the opposite sense.

Well basically, i landed up in PES E because of Arthritis. My body immune system will attack my body cells, especially my joints. That's why i cant go through the normal routine like all Army boys. Wanna know about my bunkmates and platoonmates conditions ? A hole in his heart. G6p deficiency condition. Eyes can't look straight. Hearing problems. Leukaemia. Physically impaired. Mentally impaired. Short concentrations spans syndrome [ ADD ]. One eye vision [ lost the other eye when his sister poke his eye with a scissors]. I din get to know all. But this are the ones i've learnt so far. The best one i've learned so far is a national Basketball player. He got a PES E status because he can't afford to be injured during Army trainings. Precious to the country.

Of course, there are also fakes. People who exaggerate their conditions as well. So we have a whole bunch of people there. But one thing for sure, almost 99% of the people knows how to use vulgarities and use them extremely well. Everyday you can hear vulgarities flying across the room. Reminds me very much of my secondary school days.

Having this sepcial welfare status means one thing. We can't get any physical punishment. They officers and sergeants can't really do much to us. And that really sucks to one point. Because lack of discipline really tarnishes the great image of Army life. I feel weird all the while because alot of people around me are not behaving the way they are supposed to behave. Instead of living in a military camp, i felt like i am living in a zoo. Monkeys are loose all around me. Seriously, i'm not looking down on people and i never will. I just find the lack of discipline extremely disturbing. Even my scouts camp can do much better than produce monkey clerks and storeman.

And so, linking to that ... the future of PES E .... is pretty direct and simple. 2 years in Army ... serving as either a clerk or a storeman. After that, you are free as a bird. No need for reservice like normal NS Men. Of course, there are pros and cons to this. You get lower pay for one. You can't opt to go OCS [ Officers Cadet School ]. You will get little or no promotions at all thru this 2 years. Whatever it is, i am not so bothered by this. I am more bothered about whether i can coop with my next phase of life. I plan to study, gym and serve army thru this whole year. Kinda hard with this 8 to 6 schedule in the weekdays. Have to plan real properly.

Back to what happen today ..... Well basically .... its Lectures, eat lunch, lectures, eat dinner, slack and sleep. That's all. This is how boring it can really be in a PES E status. Sure you might think you can slack. But i can tell you there's really nothing you can do inside, except crapping with yr bunkmates which i am not really open to. I am just depress and i can't talk to anyone at all. Feel kinda left out most of the time because of this. The lessons taught in the lectures are just a higher level of lullaby-in-disguise that forces you to sleep. We are taught the importance of Army, the necessity of SAF, the basics you-need-to-know in an Army, and core values of Army. Much of it can be said as useless.

These 2 days, i've also realise that my joints are increasingly painful. I am forced to take the pink Prednisolone which is a steroid medication. My uncles have warn me not to take because of its side effects and take it when i feel pains. I have been taking that more often than usual this 2 days because of the pains. Normally i will choose to ignore taking this pink pill. It seems to me that i am the only one in my bunk that is on medication. Maybe its just that i did not see the rest eating. -_- sheesh

As of this day, I was extremely bored. I can't believe how bored i can get in a military camp. I am totally shick that i am feeling like this today. Really funny.

Recruit Jason Reporting!

[Backdated Record]

Rank : Recruit
Called to Arms : 14 March
Feelings : Crazy


I woke up at 5.45 am, took a stroll around my house .... kissing goodbye to everything i see. I quickly changed to T-shirt and jeans. My uncle bought early breakfast for me ... though i din have much appetite for food. We took MRT straight down to Pasir Ris MRT. There, we met up with my Father. The 3 of us proceeded to the ened of the Bus interchange to where the Army Shuttle bus is located. From then on i got alittle big shock!!

3 Army tough dudes told my uncle and dad that they can't accompany me to Tekong. They have to be in long pants and proper shoes in order to go there. There were both wearing bermudas and sandals. Goodness. Then everyone was watching this little commotion playing. Apparently, the tiled, cemented floor is too hard to bury my head under. I just stood there alittle stun and erm embarass of my little forgetfulness. So they have to wave goodbye to me at the interchange while other happy kids board the bus with their parents. What an electrifying moment.

I went on this lonely bus trip with the chatterboxes around me. It was not long before we arrive at Changi Jetty. We went inside and waited for awhile before we board the big Penguin ferry to Tekong. Along the way, I met a guy call Mao who was older than me ... and had the same situation as me [Parents cant join him cos of wrong attire.] I was kinda surprise i made a friend so fast. When we arrive there, we were seperated in to 2 groups - Army enlistees and the visitors[family members]. Very soon, i got my new SAF IC and lsot my little pink IC. I got a very short tour about SAF [ Singapore Armed Forces ] and then we did a small rehersal of the solemn Oath Taking ceremony. Its an important ceremony that is deem necessary to marks our allegience to be the Nation's protectors [ in a very small way for my case ]. ha.

Well if you haven know, I am PES E. PES stands for Physical Examination Status. And i got the 2nd lowest status. E excempts the soldiers from all physical trainings due to his medical condition. So basically, my batch will be the most welfare batch in the whole campus. We'll get even better treatment that Hawk Coy !!! [ hehe to bad Jaryl =P ]. I'll explain how much welfare we get, much later ..

The lunch was kinda frutiful. Though you can't really compare with the good foods in mainland, it's still surprisingly better than what i expected. We got Fries, Grilled chicken, rice, potato and watermelon + lemonade. Very good serving. Actually the best servings in the Army. You will only get this servings on big days.

Then the parents bid farewells to their kids. We were all left to sit at one corner.....

To cut this whole crap short. I have spent about half my day collecting army equipments and verifyingh the size of the clothings. The most exciting part of the day is probably the hair cut. We all sat and watch our commerades-to-be losing all their colourful hair infront of us. Soon it was my turn and I was actually very happy. I wanna cut this hair short for a very long time. Partly because of the weather there. Very hot. So a semi-bald head will be cooling. Another is because i really dislike long hair. When i check my new appearance, i was kinda going nutty. That is soo unlike me! I cant seem to accept the almost bald headed guy staring right back at me. It takes time to accept my new image. But still its cool in many ways! :)

I spend the night chatting alittle to my bunk mates. I spend more time sms-ing my uncle and friends, calling my Dad and grandma. Before i knew it, it was bedtime and whether i like it or not, i have to sleep. It doesn't take long for me to catch some Z's. It was a long day for all of us...

Blogger goes to Army

There that's me. I am so excited. New hairdo. New food. New friends / "friends" [we'll just wait and see]. New Environment. Simply put : New lifestyle. Just for 5 1/2 days.

After that, men will i be buzy.

Benny Hinn's Awesome message

Yup this is his message. I just give a gist of his message plus some after-thoughts about it.

The presence of God and the power of God, as emphasised by the pastor, is 2 different things. Presence of God = Glory of God = Ways of God = or the God person himself. It basically means God illustated as a powerful person. When Christians talk about presence of God, it can just simply mean being a room with a powerful person called God. It can be simply put that way but of course its much more than that and the experience is rewarding. It can't be very simply explain in words.

The pastor then posed anm interesting question ... How do you know you are saved?

Did God sms you to tell you that?

Did God send and email to ya?

Did God rang u up and from it give you this divine information?

That's about what he said. How do Christians know we are really saved. He then said, "You know that you are saved when you know that you know that you know ... that you are willing to die for what you believe. Or in another way of putting : when you are willing to bear witness of Chirst."

What does this mean? He did not explain much abour this. But from his words, he is focusing on one thing. The great confidence in Christ. You know that [x3] signifies surety. Why would a Christian ,after receiving salvations, be willing to die about this knowledge that he is saved? Because firstly, this knowledge as we all know, also covers another fact. Christians are redeemed and death would mean a better life .... in heaven. Secondly, salvation isn't just knowledge. It's a big change in you. Something happens in the spirit realm. Slowyly you will learn and accept the Holy spirit that is given to all believers. The change is also psychological. When your mind opens up, your mindset and attitude changes. This is usually the first step before salvations is initiated. But the wonder is it doesn't just stops there. You will slowly but surely be moulded into the likeness of Chirst. This is why you can bear witness. You understand and therefore, you can and will be able to carry the cross through your life.


Power of God on the other hand, gives us the ability to change our circumstances. From this, miracles happen. Signs and wonders can occur. Healing can take place.

This is what the world needs to see. The pastor said in the past, at the age of Christ ... Such signs are prevalent. However, no one is sure if God forgive sins. Today its the opposite. People knows from friends about the famous John 3:16 and the gospels. It is sad that signs and wonders are not prevalent. Ps Benny said currently now, there are only 2 active miracle crusades going round the world.

I believe that will change soon

The power of God as can be seen is very different from the presence of God. The main difference, as pointed out by Ps Benny, is that the power of God might heal our body. But it does not necessary change our heart.

A change heart is very much more important than a changed body. Because i feel that in this world, our heart needs more healing than our body.

How do we seek the presence of God?

Elijah heard God's voice when he had complete isolation. He was still. Silence is the result of seeking God in the spirit [Holy silence]. This is where the glory of God feels your being.

The presence of God doesn'st stirs your soul. It stills it. The presence of God must be seek from our spirit from our heart.

What does this mean? My revelation is that when i still my heart, my heart starts to speak. Matters that is highly revelant to me starts to flood me. At such, i just straight away cast it unto God. I focus to God and spill my thoughts and my needs. This is also what people like to call, casting your burden unto the Lord. From there, i will slowly feel the peace of God.

I totally enjoyed being in the presence for the past 3 days. I know that God will not give us such strong annointing everyday in my quiet time [ for he knows us too well]. I am so blessed to be able to experience my first miniature Holy Laughter at SIS. I am longing for a bigger explosion of laughter next time. Being filled with the presence of God is awesome. Some people will cry. Some people will laugh. I don't know what's the reasoning behind Holy Laughter. But i know that when the time comes, the truth will reveal itself. I've also learned that most of the time, we have to let go of logic to understand more. Hehe leave my audiences to figure that out...

God blessesd.

YEA

I must say i learn alot alot alot today. What a day. What a day What a day. I have so much things to say but yet i can't because i have to sleep early plus do alot of other important things. So i shall try to make this short ..........

Today would be the second day of the healing crusade. There are 2 services today, 1 at 3pm and 1 at 7.30 pm.

I arrived at SIS at a pretty grouchy mood. No idea why.Maybe because I am tired. It seems to me that everything around me is irritating me and making my day more like a nightmare. After the briefing for the day, guess what? The situation did not take a turn. I met with more problems. It seems like i've been thrown around by usher leaders and i don't really have a designated area to serve. I ran from North to south and almost everywhere. The leaders keep diverting me to other leaders. I end up with sister Florence and she finally delegated me to serve at East 6 arena. Up to this point, i was really trying very hard to control my fustration. See i still fall to such pathetic weaknesses. I took awhile to composed myself and sit down for a short prayer. After that i felt alitttle better. Well the fustration doesn't go away that fast. I was constantly thinking here and there. So much negative thoughts flood my mind. What a job Satan did.

It was during my ushering of people when i finally relaxed and found alittle joy in serving. I was in-charge of a reserved area for the physically disabled people. My role was more of ushering these people to their seats and keeping normal audiences out of that area. Its pretty smooth with the help of Bro Yong Hui. He will update me constantly on who to direct into the reserved area.

Pastor Benny also educated us about the difference between the presence of God and the power of God. And i can tell you the message open me up alot! I will share about this message next time. The glory of God really fell unto the people in SIS in a way i never see before. A very very strong powerful presence filled the auditorium. Its been a very very very long time since i witness such annointing..




My great encounter :

What happen?

I don't really know. I was worshipping the Lord and i can really flow in his presence. What exactly is that like? Well i feel alittle heat in my body. My legs were shaking uncontrollably and I just sway from side to side. I am conscious of what i am going through, that's why i can report this. I was very worried how i would fall when the strong annointing of God was upon me. Everntually i got to my knees and now, not jsut my legs were shaking, my hands were shaking. AND I expererience the holy laughter. Really i am just soooo happy down there for awhile. I was in a very bright place. That's all i know and the muscles in my mouth just coordinated a smile on my face. After that I was laughing.. This is the kinda experience i have been longing for a long time. Men was i excited when i got it. Praise the Lord!

What else happen?

I saw the amazing thing again. The pastor was at the floor area and he was facing west area. I heard a shout and then i saw the whole multitude of people started falling down ... in a domino effect way. Row by row, people fall under the annointing of God. When you see what i see, you'll definitely feel what i feel. Awed, amazed and excited. Partly anxious and worried about how its going to happen here to me.

I can hear people laughing some seats away. I can hear shouts, people speak in tongues, some cried. As i type now, i remembered exactly how i felt when i first saw this. I thought i was losing my mind and i am pretty disturbed by the scene. Right now at that moment, instead of feeling disturbed and afraid, i was really all out to desire this annointing. That wa trully a ground-shaking moment.

Did you see the same miracles as yesterday?

Yes, in fact there are more than what we saw the day before. Many people came up to testify of their miracles. I remembered a man testified that he saw a light from above with sparks flying around. It descended over him. And suddenly he felt heat on his body, all over his body. The very strong glass box of medicine suddenly just break open unknowingly. I can jsut imagine that when if i sit next to him. How awesome is that experience. I will be equally shocked. He is released from his sickness and totatlly healed.

For the next service, is there anything special as well?

There are kids as young as 6 being healed too. A kid suffering from diabetes are proclaimed healed. The pastor challenged the family to take the kid back to the doctor to check if she still has diabetes. She is totally healed from diabetes. A lady with AIDS is healed. I was like WOW. Pains that travelled with the patients are suddenly gone. Many cases of deaf opening up their ears, Eyes being open to see. More importantly i learn that this signs and wonders has open the most important area of many people in this crowd. It has open people's heart to see beyond what they can comprehend. And that is truly amazing.


[ due to lack of time ... i'll re-edit this and present fully of what happen] Gotta sleep zzz

The Great Healing Crusade at SIS.

reported by Reporter s0nix.

What's the big hold up? Long queues stretched from all 4 sides of the Singapore Indoor Stadium [SIS] entrances at 1500. It seems that the people queuing at the front near the entrance were even much earlier. Probably at 12 noon or 1 pm. What's this big gathering about?

At 7.30 pm tonight, there is a special healing crusade by Reverend Benny Hinn. From reports, this pastor is known to be gifted in conducting healing crusades and getting people healed. What is this really all about?



People flew all the way from Indonesia, Malaysia and The Philippines to Singapore just for this event. The admission to this healing crusade is free. By 4pm, the queue has extended all the way to the roads outside SIS. This event organised by City Harvest Church is really drawing a big crowd. There must be something happening in there!

- end of report -





Chong and I were in the queue as early as 3pm. We brought snacks, magazines, story books, newspaper to occupy our time while waiting. We also armed ourselves with board games and I even brought my poor guitar along to kill our boredom. The places is very crowded. Thankfully not chaotic but really crowded. The queue was comparable to the length of Great Wall of China. I was really beginning to worry that Janet, Alex, John, Jessica and my 2 new friends couldn't join us. Thankfully, we aren ot working or studying late. So we can get that pretty much early. I can say the weather was also quite kind to us throughout the whole event. Chong and I tried to reserve seats for our friends but the space we are sitting just keeps getting smaller and smaller. Lots of people are cutting queues and squeezing into where we are sitting. I also notice that there are alot of foreigners around me. Mostly Indonesians. I was kinda troubled because i am really afraid that my friends whom i tried so hard to invite, would miss the opportunity to be in the stadium.

As tiem past, the queue just seems to extend itself to infinity. I can't really see where is the end of the queue that is behind us. It stretches all the way to the roads and probably end somewhere in the next street. I was really thankful that I wasn't stuck so much at the back of the queue. Chong also seem very stress but i assured him constantly that we'll get the seats inside the stadium

We didn't have a proper dinner. Tidbits, fries and onion rings are all we ate. It is fortunate that Janet gave us some fries and onion rings to eat. And speaking of Janet, we were really deeply amazed. This fine lady has managed to get to where we are [ from the back to right infront of the queue ] and even was ahead of us. What's so astonishing about that? Firstly, as i have said earlier, the queue is very very long. So long that the pathway to where we were sitting is blocked. The stairs, the elavator and all other sides were just totally inaccessible. Even Alex, who arrived earlier than Janet, couln't get to where we were. Guess our PCGL really knows people from high places.


We were allowed in around 6. We scrambled to find seats. Its immensely crowded inside. We finally found seats. I was busily calling all my friends to see where they are ... Eventually, I think only Janet got in. Alex and both my friends were stuck outside. I am not so sure about John and Jessica. Told all of them to keep queuing.

I was really really stress at that point. I really hope my new friends and the rest of my cell group can enter, so much so that i am willing to trade places. Its a real pity for people to come all the way down and get rejected. In the middle of the service, pastor Kong announced that approximately 5000 people were stuck outside. They can't sit on the steps like what we do in Church because of the strict SIS rules. I can't imagine. The 10,000 seater stadium with probably another half waiting outside the stadium. That's the crowd we are talking about. Are the crowd of those in Singapore Idol as much as this?

So how's the service like?


Me. Playing with Camera.


4 of us. 2 from Sister Elaine's Cell.



Chong saw a great light!



The look from inside.



Very different I would say from our normal service. We started with our normal praise songs we sung in Church. Then, the choir sung old hymns from Pastor Benny Hinn's ministry. They are real nice songs! Though not the modern kinda praise songs like we always sing in church .... The praise sung by the choir is packed with as much energy and vocal strength. I was distracted during worship because my 2 friends called me. I figured i have to at least give them a explanation. I sms them fast and told them to wait on. Then i continued worshipping in the presence.

I felt kinda heavy-hearted through-out the preaching. I would say that most of it is because of my worries of my friends stuck aside. I prayed and decided to bring my focus to Pastor Benny Hinn. He preach a very simple message about the need for Jesus in our life. That when we speak to antoher person, we are speaking to another shell. We cannot really see what's inside the person. Only God can. We are just constantly communicating with another person's shell. Isn't this true? How much can we really see from a person even thru the most effective conversation. Food for thought.

The 2nd part of his preaching is about the revelation he shared about healing of God. In the past [ the age of Christ] , healing is common. The people who only question Jesus about one thing. How much would you go to forgive sin? Now its the opposite. The world knows the Passion of the Christ. But how much knows that healing still exist? He shared that we have to have desire, determination to ask for healing. He shared many scenes of the bible of healing. Stangers to Christ are healed. How much so for believers?


The best part of the event eventually arrived. The healing. We worship God for a long long time. I raise my hand for so long that i can feel it trembling and acheing. I do feel something i must say.

What is it? Are you freaking out?

No. I felt heat on my hands. My fingers are acheing. The joints. Arthritis. That's all i feel. My fingers still ache. I am not really healed. That's the truth. But i felt some heat on my hands. Heat on my hands are not something you will expect in an air-conditioned stadium. Nevertheless, till now as i type, i know i will be eventually healed.

Many people came up to share their just-awhile-ago healing experiences. Many peolpe came up to share their own miracle healing. 1 was healed from blindness due to tumour in their brain. Many are healed from being bondaged to immobilty. There is another lady healed from asthma. She said she couldn't run due to this condition. And there she was running around the stage in joy. Most people healed were from Indonesia. There were afew from Singapore as well. 1 lady was healed from arthritis. She walekd up and down the stairs effortlessly. It was really amazing.

Couldn't they be fakes?

If they were so, i msut say pastor Benny Hinn must be very rich to pay off so many people. What i see from this people's eyes were their great joy. Smiles. So happy that their are drown in their own great new discovery. That's how they are behaving on stage. The amazing thing is the way they testify this encounter. Some of the Indonesians seen on stage are unable to relate their emotions. You can see from their body language that they are so excited and jsut by that, each of them preach a sermon of their own. They simply showed one thing very clearly. God loves people. He loves so much that he wants to remind us one thing through this event. He heals both our spirit and our body. Now that's something.


Can you see the old lady on stage? She's saying something!


'God spoke to me! He said if you can give to him your sins, he'll take it from you. If you can give him your pains, he'll take it from you.'



' You have just preach a sermon of your own...' says Ps Benny.

Is that it?

Actually no. An amazing thing happen. A really really amazing thing happen. I've heard this before. But i've never ever seen this before. A great multitude fell under the power of God.

Ps Benny seems to have felt something. He then said somthing the choir. It seems that he is going to bless them or soemthing. Then it just happen. He shouted and bam! Every Choir member just collapsed on their chair from where they were standing. I was like " Wow!" that view was really captivating and powerful. Imagine the whole crowd standing at the North section just fell on their seats. Some of them even started laughing. That is called the Holy laughter. A result of the manifestation of the Holy spirit. Think that's fake?

I have a few friends in the choir. Some of them join church around the same time as me. Some even later.

Of course i won't miss the chance of interviewing them.

Turtle's reply :

What actually happen?

At first, we link our hands together, then the pastor said something.


He was asking you all not to hold hands across the aisle. What happen next?

Ya, well the pastor said something, i don't know what happen. The the 2 persons beside me started to fall. I was wondering how this goes and whether the power will slowly reach me before i fall. Before i know it, I just fall!

I was thinking whether i fell due to the Holy Spirit's annointing or was it because i just fell on my own accord. But it isn't! I felt something at my neck, like its pinning me down. Yea^^.


Did you really feel something on your neck?

Duh! I couldn't get up. I heard the pastor said " I don't think the choir is able to sing for the rest of the night". I just lay there in the presence. Shortly after that, i was awake and i continued singing.


So how did you feel after that?

I feel very happy ^^. I am going to come again tomorrow for the next 2 services. I don't care.


Ha. Enjoy yourself for the night at your cousin's place.
Men, look how excited she was being touched by the Holy Spirit. I am sooooo jealous.


Joel's SMS response:

Hey did you fell under the presence of God?

Ya. Great experience. Wished i can stay longer. NVM, lets be hopeful tomorrow.

Hey share more leh. Can i call you now for an interview?

Lol. Its just a different kind of presence ... Its like a power ... Feel weak at the limbs like tat. You can experience for yourself.

I am totally awe-strucked by hearing form both of them. They were so blessed! I wish i can feel something like that very soon.

After service pic.


3 of us heading home ...

*pictures taken from Chong's Digicam*

I can't wait to see what's up tomorrow! Pastor Benny said that there will be even greater miracles tomorrow. Praise the lord for what happen today.

I am kinda encourage at the end of the service. I must say I can now understand why people flew from various part of SE Asia for this crusade.

God bless all ...
