For being a friend, an encouragement and a brother.
Happy Birthday!!
This morning I had my IPPT. Managed to get a gold standard. But it didn't come easily. I almost missed getting the $200 reward by about 4cm. I had to retake my standing broad jump 4 times before successfully getting the minimum requirement for God. My platoon mates were telling me it wasn't my day today. Had trouble with the shuttle run too. But that wasn't a vital station. I managed to hit a new personal best for my 2.4km run though... 9 minutes 12 seconds.

I came close to God on Sunday morning. I wasn't for pre-service prayer and promptly got refreshed. Although I was physically tired because we stayed over at J.Gan's chalet the day before, I managed to get a strengthening in my spirit. I was reminded of the burden I had for the youths. A burden that could not be expressed in words but had to be prayed out in the Spirit & in tears. And it reminded me of my direction, where I was from and how, with God's grace, I've grown. Its not easy being a leader. Although we're in SI, its still a challenging time because of the learning environment.
