The last bit of it all;
So the time has come to now and it's two days away from enlistment. I spent the past few days at Huang Cheng chalet, having dinner with my extended family and aunts and all, running around on little things here and there.

I feel like I've maximized my time. Other than the 20 hours hibernation cycle I went into after I hiked around the island on the 15km urban trip. We went down to Tanglin and Holland from Commonwealth and went through Orchard to Esplanade, before finishing through Shenton Way and HarbourFront.

Watching the first sunrise of the new year from the deck of Vivo City was quite surreal, mostly because I was microsleeping half the time. I enjoyed the hike with Ben and Shuyuan anyway, right after Watch Night service.

...

I want to find a sense of purpose when I walk into BMTC. I was thinking about things and I just realized that I'm starting to find it slowly. I'm doing it for my 二舅, I'm doing it for God, I'm doing it for myself.

To fight the good fight, to run the race and to keep the faith. I want to say that.

"Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, being fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised." (Rom. 4:20-21, NIV)

Remember therefore that "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up...." (Gal. 6:9-10, NIV)

God willing, I will keep you in my prayers.

Bit late to say anything now (for you at least), but I guess we gotta roll with what the Father wants for us. Guess they'll assign after BMT.

Happy Tekong tomorrow, haha (:

Some day I'm going to mail you the SOW and bake cookies. Let me know when you're going to be free! I'd probably be more settled then - or probably stressed enough to want to bake to destress. Either way (:

Okay very good! Right so I can probably figure out my schedule by then and fix times for tutoring you.

Zomg baking is very good -greedy face-.

[1] Eeh it's crazy to sleep so late when you're enlisting the next day ._. [2] Woah so you really want to take me again this year? As I've said [or at least I think so] I'd email the SOW soon - just for fun luhh, it really depends on the chaotic AV schedule ahead. I have Math on Saturday too :/ [3] Haha are cookies fine? To be honest I barely started last year - I make passable food, but I think my baking experiences can be counted on my fingers :P

:D well, I've never objected to being guinea pig!

And yes I don't mind taking you this year again, you're quite nice to teach! I'm not sure if I got the SOW, still clearing two hundred plus cursed emails! Probably can do Sunday in future if need be! :)
