let it go

well the last three days of freedom really.. Army beckons on fri.. but as wad all my friends say, the right attitude overcomes.. and ive decided to have the right mindset and attitude going into the place.. a place of challenges and trials and difficulties but thank God im going in.. you never rise to the next level unless you go thru some trials to strengthen you and to really mould you into a better person both physically and character wise.. initially i was like 'huh why must i go into the army'.. but looking at it, i'll get a great bod when im out.. hehe.. that i hope but skinny ppl usually cant build too much.. goin into the army has also made me realise and appreciate even more for my friends.. this so too for my wonderfully great churchmates.. all have been such a great blessing in my life.. my cg has been there for me thruout and looking back at the yr together, we all have really grown.. both in numbers where we're averaging more than 25 and spiritually where i believe that everyone has gotten to know the bible and their creator much more.. isnt that wad we're called to do? at the end of the day, lets be satisfied at the things we've done for God.. when we answer him in heaven, i want to be found good and faithful like all you out there.. thats why i believe that E222 is such a special cg(although i may be biased) haha.. you guys understand the calling every christian has which is the great commission.. this is basic to our christian walk with God.. believe that the grp will indeed grow from strength to strength, from glory to glory and i believe that by Emerge, we can average at 30 ya? wad for be a apple tree when you cant grow apples? haha.. same thing as being a christian who doesnt reach out.. bear good fruits! :D

i also have to really thank all my very close buddies peng, hj, xiang, jerry, nick, matt, amos, yuqin, joash, mildred and the rest of the bunch.. thanks alot for the treat at 85 ya? haha.. really appreciate the things that you guys have done.. even with the division that has occured, i hope that you guys can come to eventually forgive.. if you dont wanna friend him its your decision but at lest forgive and maybe put in check the slandering that takes place.. as wad pst said, only the strong can really forgive and forget while the weak ones keep remembering and slandering the other party even 10 yrs from now.. haha.. but i strongly believe that you guys are strong ya.. pray that our great friendship as a bunch wont end even in heaven ya.. its been since pri 5 that xiang, peng, jerry, mildred and i have been together.. thats wad, 8 yrs leh!! wad lao.... haha.. two more and that'll be ten.. the rest is 6 yrs ya.. but still alot if you look at it.. haha.. its been filled with highs and lows but nonetheless, really exciting times... thanks to you guys..

to all the soccer guys, you guys rock.. although we all couldnt make it for the planned outings, i believe that we'll keep in touch ya? go out on CNY ya? 4 day weekend confirm got time unless have to book in.. haha.. believe that eventually, we all will be able to do many more pull-ups ya? just tot abt how we may meet at the inter company soccer events ah.. wah.. tink army will be fun la.. its really how you make out of it.. so to alex, aloy, wei liang(collecting your ball on thurs rite?), dan, wan, kenny, zaw, marcus, peng, izree all the best in the SAF.. dont miss your gals too much la.. alex ah.. meet family already sia.. haha!

to someone, i'll tell you later.. haha..

theres someone too that i'll like to thank.. One who has been with me thru thick and thin, happy or sad, easy or hard.. blessed me so richly and given me so much favour.. one that i really love to the core.. one who has given so much for me and i have tried to give back too.. but one who is superior to who i am and wad i am now as a person is a result of knowing that person.. i really have changed so much from who i used to be.. he is Jesus..

to all, thanks so much.. hope i have been an equal blessing as you have in your life
God Bless.. :D
