Hi civilians, its been 2 weeks into NS and so far so good, cept that I Attend C (MC) alot due to some incident on the first day, injury at the back region. Its been a tough 2 weeks trying to adapt and all but so far so good. A big THANK YOU to the girlfriend who was standing by me throughout, making sacrifices and tolerating my nonsense and also, listening to me whine at night, and helping me through this tough period of changes and adaptation. Only she can tolerate this, so three cheers for her ya? Not easy you know.

Got about 1 month and 4 days left, before I ROC!

Meanwhile, still got 3 assessment lessons left at driving and I cant wait for Vesak Day!

SAJCBAND just has their concert, must say that the juniors did pull through and to a certain extent I'm still proud of them on making it their own and struting their stuff. Now Addison, Dorcas, and Redhuwan can finally step down. J2s better concentrate on your exams and enjoy your time in school, especially the boys, you will really appreciate school days of "innocence". Army days are going to be tough and really life changing. Now looking back at the holidays that I took before entering the service, it was actually more than life changing and a totally explosive experience as compared to whatever hands on lessons that we recieve in school.

From going to Bangkok with the bandies free and easy, to getting attached, to learning driving, to going to my first job with the Singapore Arts School, going through some development of Flybar, and then my subsequent habits of watching VCDs late into the night and then of course the army. Learned loads in life, toned down lots, and definitely appreciate everyone around me more.

The SAJC bunch are a hard bunch to forget for life, so many close friends for the first time in my life, I dont think it stands to change as this is the time in life that many tight friendships are sealed, special people.

Benjamin Chan, take care man, at least now your safe! Take care.

This song is for the girlfriend (mushy right?) :

I drift, I burn, I fly
When you sing lullabies
I'm helpless, I'm yearning
I'm like the putty in your hands

I laugh, I dream, I cry
When you take me on a roller coaster ride
You see me through and through
You see just who i am
Just take my hand and

Save me from this place
Heaven knows I'm falling
For you, my sweet embrace
Heaven Knows
Heaven knows I've been waiting for you

I had a dream that i was falling from the sky
At 90 miles an hourI was bound to crash and die
But out of nowhere you came and rescued me
There must be some grace in the touch of your face
I'm so happy that I've found you
I'm no longer afraid

Before i met you
Life was slow-mo
So slow-mo
I thought i had it figured out
But you came and turned my whole world upside down

You save me.
