Congratulations to everybody for reaching the end of 2007!!! 31/12/2007,few more hours to the break of the new year.
A time to celebrate, a time to reflect and a time to plan ahead with anticipation. It really is more than the countless countdown parties that will be rumbling all around the island later today. Yet I wonder how many people will actually just watch this day go past in all the merry-making without pausing to ponder on 2007. Sounds very emo,but then your life only passes once and the things in 2007 are unique. Worthwhile to 'record' them down in my harddrive in my opinion.
Don't think Im gonna post much on my reflections, cos its gonna take like forever and carry me into 2008,then Im gonna miss the countdown for the sake of reflecting alone. Which isnt very balanced too. Haha..
But these are events im thankful for:
-drawing closer to both physical and spiritual family. Tough times truly forge a closer bond between people.
-Baptism. I'll never forget the significance in my belonging on God.
-100k challenge. Opened my eyes to see a little what challenges in the spiritual realm may be like.
-100km walk. First event I ever helped planned in a church environment. So different from secular events!
Of course,events are easy to say. But what counts are the lessons and experiences that can never fade away. Hopefully these won't be forgotten so easily as my own journey into 2008 reveals more roads and pits. I think 2008 will be a year of adjustments for me,just get that strong feeling. Thats why my anticipation for a new year now is like never before. Already, events are happening that point to changes ahead:
-The year of Sabbath,suddenly got different focus. Not so action-packed.
-Changes in my own cell. This my first taste of such transitions. Wonder how is it gonna be like.
-Changes in my medic course. Goodbye to one of the instructors that made it a fantastic course to be in. I know we'll all miss him.
These are but the start. Many more to come. Its like the Titanic saw the iceberg ahead,will it be able to dodge the many icebergs ahead in time? haha. kinda no link... Ah well... Til next time, I dunno when I'll update again cos the long holidays are over. My next leave will be for Chinese New Year. So goodnight blog. And goodnight 2007.

Yes i know,its been some time since the last update. And i will update more when I have more time!!! Its been hectic recently to say the least. Planning for the 100km walk this month,studying for my medic course,rehearsals for countdown party.....and it has come down to this.
The 100km has finally started!!
Walked only like 30 plus km,and not continuing the night one cos of fatigue and illness. Not a good time to be tired and sick,Im gonna need the energy for the countdown party and my IPPT test this coming thursday. Not to mention the other theory and practical tests *groans*
Blisters,insect bites,ankle strains,muscle aches. Thats all i have got to show for after 3 days of physical activities. Guard duty also meant sleep is a commodity in rare supply those 3 days. And honestly, the route march just killed me. I really don't see a point in making all 28 of us carry stretchers in our field packs. How many out of 28 people will actually get injured to such an extent that they need to be stretchered out?
But still, looking back at this past week and not to mention the ever fantastic festival called Christmas, I must say its been a pretty fresh lifestyle. No more mundane waking up in the morning,and just looking forward to night time when can sleep again. Haha... 2008 is coming,and honestly, i cant wait for the interesting things and new challenges it will bring. God give me a fresher and fresher lifestyle!

Its been 2 weeks into my new posting to Medic school,and I feel like I've been studying bio for more than that man.. Daily cramping in bio lessons into our heads with whole day lectures and 19 textbooks for a 15 week course. Thats like more than a typical week in JC!
Fortunately,i quite like this course,nt only do we get to get real useful medical qualifications after the course,the info is real handy in any normal medical cases,small yet frequent incidents like scrapes,bruises,cuts after a fall... Asthma attacks... Digestory-related matters... Just a few days back somebody cut his finger,and i couldnt help describing how the brain tells the body to transfer more blood to the cut area in the initial stages before sending the platelets to clot up the area before the WBC come in to start healing the wound. Never thought that somebody who's nvr had any interest/backgrd in bio can be like that. It was seemingly a different person talking when I compared myself then,and a week ago. Medic school.... Sth I nvr wanted to get into,yet strangely fresh. Only bad parts are the injections. Haha..
Anyway,the end of the year is coming. Yr 2007-Yr of victory. 2008-Yr of sabbath. Yr of victory,i still can understand that. Pushing on in confidence in the knowledge that the victory has already been won. But yr of sabbath's a lil different. There's more than simple rest to it. Productive rest. 2 words;and thats wat im catching from people who know more abt the church's plans for next year,yet somehow I feel there's more than what Im catching thus far. THe feeling is just different. Last yr,the cell sat down and discussed our plans,strategies on going abt the yr of victory,so there was some sort of framework. True,man's plans dont always work,but its good to plan,at the very least the planning itself is a form of pre-determination which in turn leads to higher efforts on our part. Anyway this year,its kinda different,no sit-down discussion yet,not really VERY clear on what next year will be like.
So yeah.... 1 month to end of the dec. A month to find out more abt nxt year so can be better prepared,and a month to climb to higher victories! Planning to end this year with a bang with by serving in CDP. God help me... Haha.
Ps Ong ended his yr victoriously too,by getting married. And we reaped his victory by having the opportunity to plaster our images all over various cameras. Twas kinda weird experience for me,since I dont really like taking pictures. But cannot be spoilsport,so took a few fun shots with the rest of the gang....
I wonder who's idea was this pose,but it suited me since i dont have to smile *Grrrr*
Another pose that suits me,no need smile.
Finally,one that left me no choice but to smile. Haha

Still getting my blog up to date after change of blogskin. Any links that I might not have slotted in please feel free to point that out,not exactly spending a lot of time on the change so possibility of missing a few things here and there are pretty probable.
Went for steamboat at marina south today. Cant say I had the best of times, too tired, lethargic, distracted and worst of all, I got a little sick after the whole thing. Diarrhea medicine here I come. Just goes to show how vulnerable our own bodies can be. We prey on seafood like crab,prawn.. poultry and cattle... But end up getting all oozy and weezy when their germs transmit to us. Ironic....
Ah well... Had a great time at cell ytd. Soccer and sharing on how cell shld rightfully be family like,not "MLM-like". Im reminded on how important that is.. And its kinda cool,cos I feel like God's showing me how important physical family is at roughly the same period as that timely reminder. The link? Still dunno yet,but Im working on that,pretty certain there's a purpose in all these...
