World through Your eyes

It seems like Jojo and me are great fans of Naruto! haa And cool my senior is going to let me the Naruto DVD sets. HURRAY!! [ Bouncing off ceiling !] Very tired now =_= ... have been an interesting day men! And ya ... I found out that i have 2 seniors in my unit from SAJC! 1 of them is Jojo. The other is KW ... i forgot his name ... damn. Tomorrow we'll have a new department coming in ! I heard another Jason is coming to our unit. So now we'll have 5 Jasons in our unit. Looks like my name is too commonly use. God give me another new name! [ha!] So here ends my blog today. Hope tomorrow will be fun!

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 wha...

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...

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... :)

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 le...

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 inst...

*updated* I got the Latest Hillsong United CD - Look to You. Yea! Actually that's backdated news. I got it last Saturday :P But i ran thru the songs today and its awesome! The DVD is even cooler. hehe! Happy men I want this CD!!! :D Something else .. One of my friend in NSSC [my army unit] ask me about his name on msn. Apparently i forgotten. [Ha!] He's my senior.... Mr Missile R: the easiest name to remember in NSSC Me:joel Me: peh Mr Missile R: nope Me: mdm alice Mr Missile R: jason,jason Me: peter Mr Missile R: nope Me: kennedy Mr Missile R: ok,make ur life easier lah Me: joseph Me: ray Mr Missile R: I'm someone from deferment Me: cupboard manager Mr Missile R: who's that Me: free milk provider Mr Missile R: yes Know of any guy who provides free milk? I know :) Mr Missile R: but,my real name? Me: haa Me: milky! Mr Missile R: wrong Mr Missile R: I so sad And it goes on ... ha so it's prem. End of fun. XD

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 sp...

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 ...

Now here it is. Pictures taken from Patrick's and Victoria's Digicam. Fake Angel turtle. haha 2 Hunkies and erm... wad's a turtle doing in there? Very fun mini cos-play =D Fruits anyone ?

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 ...

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...

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 rep...

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 c...

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 ......

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?

Presenting life of Pes E. All recrods below.

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 ...

[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 ...

[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 par...

[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 bec...

[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...

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.

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 y...

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 fustrat...

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 whi...
