It just ain't right.
There's so much things that I really want to blurt out this time round.
It's just bloody irritating to be caught in the middle. It truly sucks.

Whatever things that have been going on outside camp or more specifically at home have made me really pissed off with a number of individuals. I do not understand why people do things that I just do not find a justifiable reason for why they do it. Come on please grow up. Which part of being matured don't they understand? Shouldn't people be concerned with more important things now (especially if you are in school!) rather than indulge themselves in activities or whatever that not only do not bring about any benefits but affect the lives of those around them. I really wonder what goes on in the minds of these people. Not only are they self-centered, they just simply couldn't be bothered. If I could I would smack their heads to wake up their bloody idea! If I have recruits like these people in future, I'll make sure they suffer. Somehow it seems, all that talking crap do not seem to get the message across the stubborn minds of theirs. I have to confess, this whole crappy thing has made me hate people whom I'm not supposed to. Ok, whatever. I'm just rambling.

Moving on to happier stuff, YAY! I'm truly grateful that I managed to secure a place in the university and course that I've been hoping and dreaming for. Take note of the words I have used – hoping and dreaming. Those words truly reflect my sentiments regarding my university application especially with my oh-so-wonderful results. I'm truly glad and grateful that I got in. it has been truly a blessing. Thank YOU. For the first time in my life, at least I know where I would be heading to after my formal education! That's great news for someone who has been studying and learning aimlessly without a clear direction in life, besides grades, grades and better grades. I'm also glad that my friends have got into NUS too!! Yayness. To Este, carol and Sam, you guys would be my seniors! While for ilyas, oh-my-god, we'll be completing our tertiary education at the same place once again. You're officially my schoolmate since the day I embarked on my education journey in primary one! I can't believe it.

Also found out this week that I would be continuing my course in SISPEC for another 12 weeks in ASLC (Advanced Section Leader Course) after I pass out from BSLC to become a corporal in 3 wks time. In simple layman's term, it would be tough, if not tougher training before I get my 3 stripes to be a sergeant. And all that for a possibility of me landing up in Tekong to help turn boys to men. Frankly speaking, I do not find going to Tekong as a good thing. Apparently, for most of my friends, going to Tekong meant a chance to complete their NSF life being treated as royalty. But is this all there is to ranks? Is this what every individual that walk pass through the gates of SISPEC, singing the school song every time they march off and shouting the words: with pride we lead, sispec before water parading thinks of? I feel sad for these individuals. They do not understand the true meaning of leadership and ranks. Ranks meant responsibilities while leadership meant being a positive influence to those below you. Never, never do things that you do not want others to do to you, with the exception of maybe gossiping or bitching! Ahahaha. Everyone gossips and they have that bitchyness in them. It is only about whether or not they want to reveal that aspect of their lives. Well, from what it seems, apparently most people have done that! Ahahaha :)

I really love this song, the prayer. There are many versions to this song but I prefer the duet that was done live by Celine Dion and Josh Groban. I totally agree with my friend that both singers are a perfect combination as they complement each other very well – just the right amount of pop and opera. The lyrics are really great and meaningful. Here is the song:

i pray u'll be our eyes
and watch us where we go.
And help us to be wise
in times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer,
when we lose our way
Lead us to the place,
guide us with your grace
To a place where we'll be safe

I pray we'll find your light
and hold it in our hearts.
When stars go out each night,

The light you have
I pray we'll find your light
will be in the heart
and hold it in our hearts.
to remember us that
When stars go out each night,
you are eternal star

How much faith there's
Let this be our prayer
in my prayer
when shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

We dream a world without violence
a world of justice and faith.
Everyone gives the hand to his neighbours
Symbol of peace, of fraternity
The force his gives us
We ask that life be kind
is wish that and watch us from above
everyone finds love
We hope each soul will find around
and inside another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer,
just like every child
Need to find a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Need to find a place,
guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe

Isn't it lovely?
