♥ 1:15 AM
last sunday i was given the chance to sort of lead the team while serving. really thank God for this opportunity given to me. feel that my direction sort of change as well. i am enjoying myself in the ministry and looking forward to keep on learning new things. my short term goal will be hopefully given a chance to maybe lead for 1 svc during asia conference. but maybe a bit tough. for now i will jus grab every chance given to me and learn as much as possible.
was supposed to board 8pm ferry but manage to catch the 2 plus ferry. received msg from my mom and bro that my grandfather pass away in the morning due to heart attack. the news came to sudden. the last time i saw him was i think during CNY.
my grandfather to me i feel is quite a positive person. he had heart bypass, stroke, diabetes, even had one of his leg amputated and have to control his diet. thing is despite all these he still full of joy hardly see him sad only except when he had his leg amputated.
i remember how we use to go over and slp, play, and the fondest memory i have is when he was still a taxi driver he will always bring the 3 of us ard and as a young kid i will always be facinated with the wiper whenever he goes to shell drive through to wash the taxi.
this whole week will not be attending any church meeting. will be down at the wake.
next wed will be my graduation parade. now i still thinking whether to attend anot. although my mom told me that she let me decide but i dunno shld i still get them to come and attend the parade since my mom is grieving.
probably will give away my tix to my friend if i decide not to get my parents to come since no one help me put on my cap.
thank God that i decide to sacrifice and complete my 24km route march if not i would have to stay in and go for a make up route march. generally it was quite ok. a sense of pride to be able to finish this 24km route march.
quite another frustrating week in camp. because we "miss" the audition for recruit evening when is not really our fault, our csm gonna confine us after pop. because i miss throwing grenade aft pop i get to book out and 2 hours later at 9pm book back in again when i can't even go for the make up.
don really understand why when we are going to pop so many stunts happen. it seems like recruits life is the worst because we are always getting confinement even on our block leave! work hard for 3 months only to be told that we are going to get confine.
was talking to my dad during the wake and he was telling me if there are so many restriction wouldn't life be tough. i cannot agree more with this statement.
