1 Corinthians 13

1If I speak in the tongues^a of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,^b but have not love, I gain nothing.

4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Last day as a civilian

As the day breaks, my time of returning my pink IC slowly creeps in… While I am waiting for my time to come, I found some time to blog. Let talk about my last day as a civilian.

I woke up yesterday with my mum’s intention of going to pui tian to eat our brunch, together with my 2 brothers. It’s seems like an holiday as it’s quite rare to see both of them home during a weekday. The lunch was quite good with good sweet and sour pork and many other unique dishes. I was also surprised that my PAssion card finally came to good use with a 10% to it. The not so good part about the lunch was my mum fell down again while walking from our parking area, but luckily it was just minor abrasion.

When I got home, the effect of sleepiness after lunch starts to kick in. Believing that it’s the last day of “freedom”, I went off to sleep for the next few hours till I had enough of it. That’s most certainly enjoyable

Thereafter, I started my engine and start packing my clothes and stuff that’s required for NS. The whole process took quite a long while with many difficulties finding some of the stuff which are kept out of sight. Finally, I finished packing at around 1am, then slept at 2am.

Now, it’s 6.49am with me squeezed into my uniform. Had some trouble just know with the sleeves as there’s lots of difficulty trying to squeeze my fat arm in. Here are some aim I wish to accomplish during my time in NS.

1. Slim down till I can fit into my uniform comfortably
2. Spend the time to look for a job
3. Stay out of trouble

Wish me luck for my first day.
