A quick update

Well.. im back from field camp.. but i will not go into details as to how izzit becos i got like 5 mins to complete this blog update.. no time to do yesterday becos of my stupid computer.. well.. long story..

field camp was NOT at all enjoyable.. in fact, its torturing.. i've got cuts and bites (frm mosquitoes and ants) all over.. pimples are appearing and stuff.. oh well.. the worse thing tat can happen during field camp is raining.. when it rains, tats it.. everything get wet and muddy.. and not to mention tat i have lost about 2kg-3kg during the 7 day field camp.. and my weight now is an amazing 68kg and guess wat.. I'm underweight for my height.. well.. tats the result of the 'amazing' torture.. haiz.. oh.. did i mention tat i did NOT bathe thru'out the 7 days of field camp (except for the 5th day, they allow us to juz spray ourselves with water.. but not enuf.. i still stink)??

it was certainly a great feeling to be home on fri nite.. i spend about 30 mins in the bathroom to scrub myself and stuff.. and at nite, sleep on my comfortable bed..

ooppss.. time is catching up.. cannot talk more abt. field camp..

well.. juz an update of this wk.. i'll be going back to the jungle for 3D2N thing for my situation test, but not sure whether its overnite.. juz hope its not!! in any case, pls. pray watever u tink is necessary huh.. no time to go into details.. thanx...

well.. today went for church.. church worship was good.. machiam like in hawaii (the playing style perhaps!).. anyway, after tat, went to committee mtg and found out tat wendy (my music ministry director) will be leaving her post for quite a while becos of overseas job posting and stuff.. so tat makes me the asst. worship director and just the 2nd regular worship leader (which means in 1 mth, i have to lead 2 times!.. my goodness.. but i believe God will provide time and stuff.. so will appreciate if you cld pray for me in this area too ya..)

time is really catching up now.. got to get my butt moving into a cab and zoom off to pasir ris.. have to reach there by 8.40pm..

ok ppl.. got to run and i'll see you in blogspace this wkend ya (provided my com doesn't cock up anytime..)

Ciaoz n God Bless,

Sorry for not blogging..

For those of you who are faithful readers of my blog, i apologise for the missing updates like for 2 wks..

well.. these past 2 wks was all rite.. juz started BMT.. do not have free time at all until like 1.5hrs before lights out.. and tat is too little!! compare to last time (ie, before BMT), we got like 2-3 hrs free time at nite, and the afternoon, we can sleep for like 2 hrs.. so its a lot of free time last time.. now is different..

and you koe sumthing?? I juz bk out camp this morning (8/10), and i have to bk in tonite before 2300 hrs becos' i sway sway tio guard duty (my fingers to blame.. it was a draw lots thing.. haiz..)
Usually, the guard duty on wkday is from 6.30pm-6.30am.. but for wkends (ie, sat & sun), the guard duty is from 7.30am-7.30am the next day.. so its 24 hrs.. haiz.. how am I goin to survive??

.. well.. wat to do?? juz "suck thumb".. this means tat i cannot go out and have to get ready to go like 9+pm tonite.. and the worst thing is tat I CAN'T book out nxt wkend, becos' I got field camp... so its like either fri (24/10) nite or sat (25/10), i would bk out.. haiz.. ahh... why?? why?? why??

but one thing for me to be consoled is tat one of the officers in charge of my guard duty is one of the best sgt tat i have in my platoon.. juz hope tat helps..

oh yah.. as mentioned earlier, nxt wk I got field camp.. pls. pray for me the following:

- I dun make any mistakes or anything like tat, or else I get another guard duty (as punishment) or a confinement!
- Good condition of the body(as in dun fall sick, etc.. becos' no vitamins to be brought in, etc.. so my immunity worried to be low.. even now, im sick.. when to see doc at Tekong yesterday.. gave me quite a lot of medicine.. so ya..
- Safety(ie, come back in one piece.. becos' there are quite dangerous stunts during field camp)
- Get used to eating combat rations for the full 7 days!
- DRY weather(if rainy, tat's it.. everything would be messed up.. sleeping, eating, etc wld be a problem!)

.. and other stuff which you think is necessary in my field camp.. can't think already.. taken medication for my sickness (blocked nose, headache, cough).. feeling a bit groggy/sleepy..

well.. actually thought of putting up some of my church anniversary photos, but sumhow, it can't load.. anyway, u want to see?? juz click the appropriate link lah ha..

signing off.. *tired*..

Cya in 2 wks time.. hopefully I have time to update my field camp experience!! =)

Ciaoz n have a GREAT week ahead,
