i am so sorry guys that i havent been able to blog. just that Ns has been mad..not sure how khai bran and all the other guys are doing, but for kumar and i, our unit is pretty stringent in training, and i guess when im back, my natural inclination isnt towards coming online to blog!

but i just wanna ssay a big 'i miss you' to all who've dropped by my blog!i really do sit in bunk sometimes and think of the days where we'd just slack in the canteen pondering the decision whether to go AWOl for lectures thought for those of you who know cho- i would still end up going.hahahaha.

well,to give an update on the last 3 months(ITS BEEN 3 months?!?!?!?!?!) i've graduated from BMT and gone on to what is called the combat diving course.shane reveal much except that well...the course drives your mental and physical to the max limits-prob tha of which i never knew i could reach.haha..im really doing fine,cept' that its taken me a long long time to get used to booking in and out. as you all know...im a guy who loves to stay at home.. and well camp isnt exactly home. but i really want to give thanks to God cos He has provided friends, Christian and Non- Christian, both showing me that they love me and want me around... and i guess that sort of 'male-bonding' is sth ive been missing out on(no offence girls) and i guess God is showing me that male friendships dont have to be superficial, they can be real though often i prefer to share ,my problems with girls cos ive always thought them to be more understanding...but ive learnt and seen that really most guys,if not all hsrae the same fears, have the same hearts, desires(and im talking about pure clean ones) and the same sort of drive to protect, be strong, and the best.. and i guess NS is God's way of letting me get more in touch with the man that He wants me to become...what Stu Weber would call a "tender warrior"..

well, God has been taking me on a big roller coaster... and to have to like summarise what He's done for me, been doing and is doing is quite impossible...im not saying this in the sense that all has been going right for me...alto ive been blessed in so many ways..esp the way God has strengthened me during our beloved 'te-kan' sessions, where im holding a push up position and thinking.. God is this your plan for me? and i always come back to the same gentle whisper(what i guess i'd call it) thats says...trust me. i guess at some points when the journey of your life seems to drag along...and you feel like you've been conned by life to believing that its all a routine...you need to take a step back and jus imagine the birthright given to us all...that which is the rightful owners of planet earth...children of God.. and i guess one thing ive been so struggling to believe is that God seeks me, more often than i seek Him...He is the one pursuing me? i mean..at this point.. im just hit by a lot of mew discoveries about life/God/everything..that i cant see how i can learn to be 'getting the hang' of the way to live...but all i know how to do now, is to just "walk humbly with God"... and to walk with the invisible Father anf friend of mine has to be the biggest thing in my life now..because when you take that step into camp, into training..no doubt friends will be by your side..but that truth is, its gonna be just you and God.you're on your own(with that invisible presence that sometimes breaks but fills your heart in the same powerful ways)...

hahaha, ok to make this a less philosophical entry..how are you guys anyway? i hope you still come to visit the blog and not given up on me! we must meet soon yA? and please do just tag and tell me how you're doing...try not to email..cos my account is more or less in a.....irredeemable state(is that even a proper word)...yea.hahahaha please do sms or call me if for some reason the name 'cho' stirs in your heart, and you suddenly remember this chubby chubby face and so deeply and strongly desire to see it again(or for some pinch it again)....please, do keep in touch. ive missed you all, am missing, and will continue to do so till the day i meet all of you again.

much love from cho(for what i am to each and everyone of you). " )
