It's a brand new year. New start, new day.

I think I love you.

Cause there was nothing in there but you;

click here, to watch just about the sweetest video I have ever watched in a long long long time.

Went back to Signal Institute to return parade stores as well as to eat a very nice Christmas lunch. It's really wonderful to see people again and we compare our lives. In a way this might just be the way we feel after we finish university? But it was a nice way to spend the morning of Xmas eve.

I think of you and I wish you could be right here.

My bedbuddy seems really stressed about his love life and although mine is just about comparable, I do wish him all the best and that he resolves it as quickly as he can.

I think this christmas might just be perfect. =D

Just make them disappear

It's the eve of Christmas and having slept before midnight for the first time in about a week, I am now wide awake at this unearthly time. Christmas this year doesn't really feel all special at all, and there is no carolling from my church, no visit to old friends, nothing. My church camp which I am told was a blast took place while i was in bangkok. so, sigh.

We went to bangkok which was really really nice. This was the first time going overseas with my friends so it was something new. To see hung again after 5 long months was also very nice. He does seem to be enjoying himself there and I do hope he stays happy always. He really has matured into a fine young man with a more seasoned and experienced view of the world. He told me about how he saw how poor people are in thailand and how blessed we singaporeans are and really I am so proud of him. It really is true when my biggest gripe about my life is that I am unable to finance an overseas education while the worries that the people of thailand have are where their next meal is coming from.

I also saw the youth in bangkok running stores in street markets, driving tuktuks and pretty much doing menial, laborous tasks with little hope for the future and that is so sad. Hope is the defining characteristic of humanity and without it, I feel that you are just waiting to die.


My new posting's kinda screwy, cause it is very IT based. I saw my upperstudy sign 7 right in front of me and that does not bode well for my future. The OC and CO do seem very nice though. My sergeants are all very friendly and helpful towards me so i think I'll be fine.

a teary toss

It seems when just when i thought it would be the most awesome day of my life you wont be there to see me.


It's commissioning day tomorrow and I really cannot wait for that moment. It really has been an incredible ride and I have made such wonderful friends throughout the way.
I once read that war not only draws men together it also repels them apart. I guess this is party true and I do hope that we can stay together always.
Had a chat with serene on msn and suddenly the memories of what we have gone through all came back. The songs the laughter the blood the sweat and ultimately the sense of pride that I believe we will all feel when we stand on that hallowed ground.

red tide rising

It's a few hours before the marathon and I am waking for fag's dad to come and pick me up. It has been one solid year since the last one and really, so much has changed. Time really really flies, especially with us growing older and older.
I do find myself become more and more naggy and I really do not like this new me. Help.
I think of the past and I think of you and I really do hope you're fine.



I just got my sword and its so pretty =D
