Wow. It’s truly amazing that it’s been more than a year since I last posted. Back then, I sure was embroiled in the emotional drama that was preparation for A’ Levels . Between then and now, many things did happen, and I must say that I have also learnt much from the collective experiences.
Major things which did change:
- Band – Valvetrain was formed. More on this at www.myspace.com/valvetrainsg
- University - I got into NUS FASS. I’m happy with it but I’m very sure that I won’t stop trying in the years to come.
- Army – I enlisted on Jan 7th this year, a day which I will never forget. The moment I handed over my Pink IC in exchange for the dull green of the Army’s 11B, I knew I was in the mess that is the SAF. No one likes to serve but they all do it; so do I. If not for the country but for the buddy beside me.
- Others – I would like to say more has changed, but really, nothing significant did happen besides the above 3 items. Guess I live a boring life?
Recently, I have been mulling over the apparent lack of purpose in my life. Underneath all of these things which I do daily, what can I say that is truly significant and really worth doing? I began to desperately search for more meaning in life, and after going to church one fateful Sunday morning, I felt worthwhile once again. I felt that there was Someone up there who is watching over me. That gave me some consolation.
Speaking of more tangible, material things, I decided to pick up reading once again ( seeing as how free I am usually during the weekdays ), as a means to enrich and constantly update myself. I did not want to fall into the intellectual rot that many Army seniors told me was inevitable, especially in my seriously dull vocation. I also decided to clean up my table and the surrouding areas, so as to have a clutter-free table in which I can seriously think and read on. I’m very pleased to have done that even on the day I took a MC. Score 1 for efficiency.
Tommorrow I will know of my schedule ahead, but honestly, I’ve thought it through and felt that the incumbent one wasn’t as good as I thought it was ( 8-5, but really it was very tiring ). The new one might give me more surprises and changes. As they say, change is the only constant. I shall be keeping this blog updated.
Till then,
