I'm home alone... Such a big house to myself. Not that I even move out of the living room though. Went out with the band and Pam to have Katong Laksa just now. Its good to see them again. Missed the nonsense!!! :D Went to parkway after that and when they left, I went shopping by myself. Bought a pair of earphones and some cologne. What?!? Can't guys splurge on themselves?

Missed being alone. Got to face my thoughts and think about things. Began to think about what I was doing with my life. Felt quite proud to be all alone in Singapore taking care of myself. But then it dawned on me that I'm still relying on pocket money from my parents. I'm 21 years old and I'm still relying on pocket money.

It would be about 6 years before I finish my equipping time. 6 years before I can even think about having a stable income. Thats assuming that I'll be working in a stable job. Of course there'll be army allowance and part time jobs here and there. But would it be enough? Will I ever have enough to get through daily expenses like food and transport. The tuition fees for Rhema Bible Training Center. I thank God that I have a roof over my head and a good family. But sooner or later there'll be a crunch time. Dear God, will I dare rely on you then? Or will I be struggling to make ends meet?
Things go to hell when I try to pick up the pieces. Why do I keep insisting on my own way? As if I could do better than You. I'm trying to be an obedient jigsaw puzzle.

Bathed Spunky just now. He's been wiping himself on the foot mat for the past 15 minutes... How cute! Cleaned his toilet area too... There's a lesson be learnt somewhere here. Hahaha!
