Haha yes boys and girls. Tunnel has ended its run!
Really thank God for seeing us through, and i hope that He was glorified! It was really quite nerve-wracking considering rehearsals the past few weeks weren't looking particularly promising... But God saw us through! For some reason, the Monday rehearsal (in my opinion) went promisingly, though there were still a lot of boo boos.
And quite a number of my friends came! Army friends, and some old buddies, plus some new guys i met trying to form a band. Hope that the seed was planted!
Hope that this frees up some time, but seeing as Cebu fundraising is only gonna be heating up...
Oh well. Glad to know that everything went well - if you can send some photos of the new house! Unfortunately this time i didn't bring my camera to the play, so i don't really have any photos to show!

The Unlikely Miracle
I don't know how to put this, but yes seriously Thank God. We're moving house.
Finding a house and getting the lease in under like 2 weeks, a miracle if you ask me. Thanks for all the prayer, it helps so don't stop there.
Just like the story of Elijah on Mount Carmel. I believe you know the story, where God performed an absolutely jawdropping miracle. (see proverbs 12:1 for a nice, short description of what a loser King Ahab was) God told Elijah to challenge the 850 false prophets. It got comical so Elijah couldn't help but make a joke out of it. When Elijah's turn came, he raised the stakes by drenching his altar with water. And God, who might I say is real, and will prove it if you DARE to ask Him to, sent fire down from heaven and consumed the sacrifice,( for those who taught that Elijah may have become roast meat, he didn't, he was A-OKAY), to show them that God was greater than any god.
God also proved that he is greater than anything. Basically, I don't know why I am about to say this, but God is so real, that even if you deny it, you simply can't, cause he's there, patiently waiting to be let in.
And crap that I'm not in Singapore to watch Tunnel. Oh well, at least theres nice stuff to catch in the ocean. Oh, YAY MISTAKES, they let you learn!
Alden was here, and now he's square.

Dealing With The Spartan King..
So.. Spartans.. To be honest, I'm not terribly fond of slow people.. But I don't mind slow people.. What gets to me the most is if they're unwilling to learn.. Its perfectly fine if you suffer the consequences alone, but if you doom the rest of your platoon then its not as fine..
That being said, I have a lot to thank God for again. He's been blessing me with so much, in most cases just enough to get by and in some cases more and abundantly. All the trainings and everything I do in camp, I have to keep telling myself, do unto God, not unto man, to keep myself going and doing it. Daily, He provides the sustenance for me to endure my training.
A few verses have really been comfort. The verse about God always providing a way out if it gets too hard. The story of Shadrach, Meshach and Abendigo and the fire. The story about Daniel being healthier than the other guys despite eating just bread and water rather than the king's feasting food.
It makes sense if you understand what I go through. Tunnel's been going on super. First night over, plenty of my own mistakes, smoking at the wrong cues (smoke machine), being late, not knowing where the scenes are to guitar mistakes, unable to set my boost and stuff like that. Ugh. It gets me. But the play has been awesome, heard some fantastic things from people. So be sure you don't miss it! It makes more difference when you're there though, so too bad for the australian guys.
Till next time, take care!

BlaaaarGh.
Alright, latest news, examinations in 2 weeks (everyone go yay!) and we're moving house. No idea why, but the landlord finally decided it was time for us to move. So we have till 20th May to find a new house, which is hopefully bigger. Pray for us cause we really need to find a house ASAP.
And that music video was absolutely unprecedented if u ask me. To those who are trying to lose weight, go do PARKOUR*! Its the Ultimate Form of Attaining Instant-Kilos Loss . Plus I REALLY hate the graphic calculator, one small screen, one small graph, 1 heck of a time with it. Gotta love that. All the best to Tunnel, even though I won't get to watch it (perhaps till the end of the year).
* Search it on Youtube.

For You Who Wander..
**Firstly, my bad about the cbox, my darling sister will have to put it up when she sees this hopefully not infuriated.
What is Stellar Memory? You might be asking. I think this is the easiest answer.
Excuse the bad sound quality and the unpreparedness of Ernie's solo, and also the bad video quality. And the fact that it was our third attempt. While we're at it, remember to forgive your enemies, and love them too. Also, don't forget to catch Iron Man, I'm watching it tomorrow.

Lightning & Thunder..
There are a few things you learn while training, but one line you must know to survive your NS. The line is, "Move like lightning, echo like thunder." Another thing you have to know is don't strain your voice. Echoing doesn't mean screaming. It just means doing your part in saying it loud enough.
I think I've been running out of time lately. It just seems like with so many things, I have so little time. So I'll keep my updates to a bare minimum. I started off at 91.55kg, currently I'm 84.30kg. I recently made it into the SCDF Combo Band. As a keyboardist. And I didn't even get to touch a guitar at all the whole time. Ugh. My platoon has a new name. Spartans. Its pretty awesome. Ah-woo! I'm very VERY tired. I need to up my fitness a notch and do 6 pull-ups in 3 weeks. I need more money, money is never enough. I need to find an appropriate Mother's Day gift (wanna share?). I'm pretty hungry.
Oh, and what day is it? Pizza day.
It makes sense to me. But its also 1:06am. So it won't make sense to you. I'm surviving well.
