Clouds go by, so slowly...

Everytime I finish washing my car...jialak! Its gonna rain again. Everytime I wanna go out have some fun...jialak! Its gonna rain again.

Clouds go by, so slowly! (Words taken from the weather report on P10. Nice!)

Woo. Just ended a day almost entirely spent at HQ SCDF. Love you guys. Had a CNY celebrations and I went back coz I didnt want my replacement soundfolks to be alone without knowing what to do.

My fears were unfounded-I reached the place to find out that the system was already in place and 99.9999% running! Ariff and Joses, well done. I have complete faith in the both of you. To the rest of the team, we've pulled off yet another sucessful event, no doubt being painstakingly concieved and put together by each and every one of you! Well done! No doubt this will earn favor in the eyes of the new Commander.

Back there, I met alot of familiar faces, both dear and undear. The top asked questions were like: "What are you doing now? Where are you now?". Here came a really interesting one: "So how does it feels like to have graduated?"

My answer is great, and not great. You gain freedom, but you may lose, to a certain extent, your discipline. And you dive straight into the working world, a world of uncertainties it seems.

To my friends who have yet to ORD, please learn from my lesson and plan what you have to do in advance!

Somewhere in this post are some pictures of what happened today.

Had a nice chat with my mom just now. I gather that she felt quite guilty that I was always constantly getting uprooted when I was younger(new house, new maid, new schools etc), and that probably hampered my abilities to be comfortable in my surroundings. I was greatly encouraged to hear that she thought of me as hardworking and someone who can really succeed if I put my mind to it.

As we chatted, she expressed her concerns about my love life (being in this line, it would really take alot to be a good father, a good husband who's gonna work irregular and wierd hours)

Way to go mom! Your kind words and your concern for me (even at this age) never fail to inspire me and chase the dark rainclouds away. Love ya lots.

Another thought that has been running thru my mind: I am seriously considering postponing my sch till Oct 06 due to financial reasons. I feel that I will be more financially prepared to sustain myself thru school (school fees aside) if I can work from now till Oct.

Consider that a prayer to God as well!

Before I pen off today, I'd like to end off with some footnotes.

God: U've made another fabulous day happen. Thank You so much!

Chin Tiong, appreciate your message on my graduation day. It'll be in my heart always and what you said will remain a motivation for me!

RMC@HQ SCDF: My soundman services are for free, its a blessing to be able to help you all and gain experience along the way! We've come so far already!

Francine: Congrats! All your hard work has come to a good cause. Well done!

Js: U know you're loved, not only by the God of always, but by all of us always. We appreciate you for who you are! God bless you, child.
