Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

3 letters.ORD.
every NSF is looking forward to their ORD date. some coming soon, others still a long way to go.
my ORD date is 180412. (and the guys in my unit would tell me to print 2 calenders before i can ORD. HAHA)
every weekday morning i wake up and the routine repeats. breakfast. shower. rush off to camp. do stuff. bookout. home. and sometimes go out at night. weekends come and go. money down the drain. and then it's monday again and the routine repeats.
not that i'm complaining about the comparably slack army life that i have, it's just that i need a new meaning to my life right now. something to do. something to look forward to (other than the weekends). maybe here's a chance, to do something good for once. a chance to pay back to the community. to volunteer my arms and legs for the less privileged and the disabled, the young and the old, the tired and the weary, the lost and weak and those who need a second chance in life.
a chance to do something for God.
for the past 19 years i have taken my privileged life for granted. it's like i'm in a bubble. my own bubble. the friends i grew up with, the environment i live in, all trapped in this bubble. and i've yet to taste or get a glimpse of the outside world and the society outside this pathetic bubble of mine.
serving in the army has in some way brought me out of this bubble. i've met different people with different backgrounds. not the usual friends that i've known for the majority of my life.
army is just the first step. there is still university and finally the workplace and the society outside.
rather than saying that army is a waste of time, i shall look on the bright side of it and learn and grasp the uttermost out of it. meanwhile, with the spare time that i have, i intend to utilise it to the fullest!
ORD lo!!!!
(long long way lah)

considering the lack of updates, i doubt anyone reads this space any more.well anyway, my life has been pretty simple and easy. let's just say that my army life is quite different from most guy's. it is indeed slack and confirm-wont-die but meanwhile it is a freaking waste of time. the only thing i look forward to everyday is seeing my retarded friends in camp and doing nonsense every now and then. hahahaha.
i want to quit the army! and start on architecture please, oh damnit. srsly cant wait to learn architecture!
dajie is leaving for Shanghai in about 2 week's time. she'll be heading there for internship. sarah's going to china too. leaving in september and will be there for 5 weeks. hmm i'll miss them much ):
19th birthday is coming this sunday. i dont know how to celebrate it. not that it is something significant. i want to celebrate with every single one of my friends cause i just miss them ): especially the guys. sigh, army.
i'm tired.ishouldsleepnow.
