The "Present" noun & adjective
Present (noun)
Well I'm pleased with God's gift(
present) of this vocation I'm doing in army, like mentioned before, an Ammo Technician. Plus I get to stay out.
Present (adjective)
However, at
present I'm studying for 1 of my 20 exams that I have within my 12weeks course. My my... God bless me =P
Anyhow, I can't complain much, cept for the fact that it's really mentally draining.
I'm sure I'll get thru this somehow tho.. Or at least I'll try my best to.. heh

Was it planned? Yep... Not by me but by God... (Part2)
I was always wondering when would I ever be inspired to continue Part2 of this topic...
Well the day has come! When else apart from this day that's made me feel so blessed!
I can picture God right now looking at me with a grin on his face saying, "You man of little faith!"
To think that I was desperately hoping for an 8 to 5 posting, today I was told that I'm undergoing a 3 months course, studying to be an ammo technician, that will enable me to become a sergeant within few months after the course (5-6 months from now) and I am not required to stay in during this course.
Like what's the likelihood a PES C status NS man, without undergoing SOC, IPPT, SISPEC, and becomes a sergeant?
(For those who dunno what are SOC, IPPT and SISPEC... these are pretty tough physical trainings that practially all NS personals need to go through either during BMT or SISPEC before becoming a sergeant)
As much as I have heard a sergeant's life is not exactly an easy one, at least now I know I'm not just gonna do "Sai Kang" throughout my NS life watching my days pass. What's more, I have 3 months to do what I need to do in church like D&D, Council, MPM and all that stuff before I get my next posting, stay in or stay out I dunno, but least I feel really blessed to have till somewhere in December.
I'm practically laughing at myself right now for assuming that there are just 2 outcomes to what my life's gonna be in army. My goodness! This is unbelievable! I can't deny now that God definitely has the best planned for my route in life.
How would I grade this day? 101/100! Well I dunno what grade is that, but I think u get what I mean =D

Block leave? - "let not my will, but yours be done"
I'd say overall I had quite a satisfactory break, if I had to give it a grade, probably 75/100? heh.. ok la B not too bad right? 25/100 kinda cos there were times I just really dunno what to do..
It feels as though I just had my POC yesterday... well I guess time flys when you are having a great time.. I am just beginning get comfortable with freedom once again. However I guess I gotta face reality =(
1 more day till I get to know if I need to stay in camp.. Honestly I'm kinda desperately hoping that I'd get 8am-5pm... A strong urge to ask everyone to pray for me that I get what I want...
Feels as though I could relate to Jesus right now when he was praying at the garden of Gethsemane... asking God... "If it is your will, put me to 8am-5pm..." However, the words "let not my will, but yours be done" seem soooo hard to accept... Cos I know deep inside I want no 2 ways to it... so much that I'd think to myself "God gimme 8am-5pm and I don't mind doing more of your work". I know it's wrong to bargain with God... But that's how desperate I really am!
I need strength for whatever comes my way... to come out of my comfort zone if I have to... I'm clinging whatever hope that is left that I would not need to stay in.
There's only 2 outcome/grades to my mood on monday... It's either 0/100 : (U) or 100/100 : (A*)... Than again... I need to trust God that he'd give me nothing but the best..

2 more days to POC!
*sings*
2 more days to POC, PO, PO!
2 more days to POC, PO, POC!
Woohoo I'm almost at the end of my Basic Military Training!
2 more days to Passing Out Ceremony(counting from monday)! Well for others it's Passing Out Parade.. But for PES C it's 'ceremony' because the modified training we go through is not worthy of a Parade. =P
Oh well.. but I could care less! I'm gonna get more freedom at last! That's what matters!
Now I'm hoping that I'd get posted to somewhere near.. & get a clark job from 8am to 5pm.. =)
