yesterday i received a postcard from my host family from germany. they are so nice, wished me happy birthday. which is not here yet. hah had a hard time trying to decipher what was written there. the curly handwriting didn't help. bah. and that is not the hard part. the hard part is writing a reply. can't imagine how i can even begin to write in german again. hallo! wie geht's? das ist alles. tschus! that's was what came to mind. danke schon. i shall attempt. and i've still got to write the personal statement thing for nus medicine. work to do for this weekend. luckily i'm not going out tomorrow. hmm, did i just say that i'm lucky not to be going out? what am i comnig to? it must be ns. if all else fails, blame it on ns. if anyone can help me with any of the above, that anyone is more than welcome. gee, have a good night.

when, oh when will i find you
do you even know you met me?

today is such a good day. i thank God for it. in office, spent lots of time in the auditorium, being an audience watching the rehearsal for tomorrow's thing. and helped to edit some powerpoint presentations. yes, powerpoint. the thing i've not touched for a long time. very long indeed. andi got my letter from NUS today. about being shortlisted for medicine. sounds good huh. going for essayon 24 April next sunday. and my interview is on 3rd May the first day of interviews. and it's going to be at 1730. strange time huh. pray for me yah? hope the interviewers won't be too sleepy for what. or i'llhave to think of ways to wake them up.

my homework for the past two days has been to find soccer video clips for my boss. sounds interesting huh. i suppose it is, or shall i say,it was. not when the big boss says to find one thing today, and then another thing the next. seriously screw. in the army, it's always the arrowing thing which is damn sian. argh. actually these few days we're preparing for some presentation(read: big wayang session). so everything has to go smoohly, with 'zero failures',or so our warrant says. yeah yeah we know, cannot offend the guys with lots of seafood. one thing i find weird is how i always think 'kreb' instead of 'crab' when other talk about rank. like 'one crab', 'two crab'. i see it as 'one kreb', 'two kreb' instead. must be i studied too much bio last time. heheh.

so, today was not too bad. got off at 1815. later than usual of course. in the afternoon i had to go on a trip with two warrants officers to take and collect photos. it was uncomfortable indeed. haha. but then again, sembawang wharves was so damn interesting. shall not elaborate..these days i do not dare talk too much about army stuff for fear of unintentionally letting out something unimportant, but may be important to other ppl. what the heck. i'll stop babbling. much to learn i have.

imagine having to work overtime on your second day at work. that's likely what's gonna happen tomorrow. and it's all because some person asked me to help ina presentation halfway done. and because he got screwed by a colonel today. btw he's a high officer himself. gee. you know the thing about respecting command in those Our Army ads. yeah, that's what it means. saying 'yes sir' to everything someone higher says. 'do you want to lick my boots?' 'yes sir, yes sir.' anyway today wasn't too bad a day. learnt some stuff. and thanx to edward whom i'm currrently following now. he's a nice guy who trying to help me lah. rox. and tmr i'll have to go earlier to learn office duties from this other guy. 0715!! so early man. have to wake up like 0530 so i'll sleep after this. immediately. actually the ppl in the office are basically nice lah. warrants and fellow men alike. but we'e got some guailan bosses. gee. but a timely reminder from the sermon yesterday said that i, and we serve a bigger boss. and that is God. and our aim should be to please Him, not the small bosses we have now. "Whateveryou do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for man, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward."
