Valentines with Friends

Didn't have an opportunity to spend valentines with dear dear, as had to take care of some friends... :) Been not feeling well physically this past week... not sleeping well and having to grapple with tiredness.

In Anticipation

There are 3 significant things happening tomorrow...

1) Its my 29th birthday... marks the beginning of the end... ;) my last year in my twenties. A year that I need to treasure... to savour... to remember... a year that closes the door on a significant decade in my life. A decade with so many changes... so many different experiences.

From university, to NS, to NIE, to Pioneer Sec, to CCAB...

From England to Scotland, to Iceland, to France, to Holland, to Belgium, to Italy, to Germany, to Czech Republic, to Hungary, to Italy, to Switzerland, to Turkey, to Ukraine...

From Singapore, to Thailand, to Indonesia, to Malaysia, to Myanmar, to Taiwan...

From attached, to single, to attached, to engaged, to married... From plump, to thin, to plump, to fat.

2) It's the 4th anniversary of my dear dear and me being a "couple"... we've certainly come such a long way... :) Many many more good years to come. Many many more fantastic memories to put into our memory bank.

3) It's the RELEASE OF THE O LEVEL RESULTS!!! I've got the butterflies in my stomach... I think it is good that I post today, because I don't know if I would have the mood to post tomorrow after the results have been announced! :) I hope that I have done ok as a teacher... I hope that I haven't flopped in my first attempt to teach O level classes. I pray that God would grant me that grace to experience more joy than sadness.

Just one more day... mmmm....

ICT

It has been a week since I've last posted. I'm certainly still in the midst of adjusting to my job. Received news on Thursday night that my deferment request has been rejected. This means that I would have to proceed with my overseas in-camp training. 14th-30th June is about 2 and a half weeks. Thank God that I'm not still in school, if not my holidays would be burnt again. I think it is not fair for teachers who have to slog so hard for so much of the year, and when their holidays come, have to go back for in-camp-training, without being compensated for the loss of their holidays. Well... 2 1/2 weeks away from my wife, in a foreign land. Quite ironic that the first overseas trip I have with the SAF is now, after my ORD.
