The date has been set for 12 of June 2009. It has been time as most man will say, 'Your turn will come!".

Well, I didn't really expect it to come, however when Wombat called me to inform that he had received. I thought I should go and check my mailbox too as I had a strong feeling about my enlistment date. Well, true to the point and based on my gut feeling, it came true. I'm not really sure to be excited or to fear it. However, I do know that I have to go through it one way or another.

Like what Raging Bat said, "For the country"... but more accurately, I believe it's for protecting your love ones and your homeland. The country is not a country without the people you love or care for... or the feeling to be at home.

For the past two weeks, I have been spending time with Marlinne... hmm... like a family? Haha. Going out with her and her brother. Eating dinner with her parents. I am really fortunate to experience this. People may call me crazy to do such things... however the feeling of forming such a family and experiencing it first-hand... is truly inspirational. Thank you dear.

Yesterday night, I met up with some secondary school classmates! Even though, it has been about a year or so, when we last met each other... I do feel the bond and the friendship among us (taking away the teasing and making-fun moments). Of coz, there was sharing of old memories, like some ass-grabbing stories, and jokes about ourselves. It was truly memorable, despite the early departure. Thank you girls and brother! Here are the people that made my day too!

Today was an awesome day, not for the fact that the Thai Princess was around only, but also due to the experience and satisfaction of being in the team of the following people for the dragon boat training and race.

Our timing for training: 1.51 minutes

Our timing for 25 Apr Race: 1.41 minutes

Our timing for today's Race: 1.36 minutes

I'm glad we broke through our timings! And more importantly, I can see the effort and teamwork of making it through! Well, even though we didn't win anything, at least we experience it together! Thank you to:
