• "I looked blankly at the FFI form..
  And knew that I could do nothing.
  I've pulled enough strings, tried to get away...
  But all my effort had been in vain.
  Waiting at the medical Centre for my medical examintation,
  I knew I would have to return to Tekong for my BMT recourse.
  Maybe God has plans for me there?
  Would be spending 7 weeks there in Palau Tekong,
  doesn't sound that bad, since I have a rank,
  But i just didn't want to go..
  
  Then i suddenly remembered something.
  I remembered Abraham's covenent with God.
  I remembered what Pastor Prince had mentioned.

  
  

  So I looked up to the heavens,
  In the midst of many people around me..
  I gave a loud sigh of helplessness and said..
  
  "God, I can do only this much.
  Reuben Wong can only do this much.
  Now I am helpless Lord.
  Lord I cry out to you!"

  
  

  And the electronic display showed my queue number,
  I walked into the room to meet the Medical Officer.
  He asked, we talked..
  And I no longer need to go back for my BMT Recourse"

  
  

  Happy Valentine's day!
  That was the phrase I've gotten from thousands of people that day.
  But it's nice to be remembered, and be loved
  On that day, Vivian was my Valentine!
  And boy did we have fun..
  It seems that I'd always be the guy who meet the girl's needs..
  But this time, she's the one who wants me to do whatever i want..
  One who just wants me to be Happy..

  
  

  And so, we went to watch Gothika,
  A Chilling horror show that disturbed me for a day.
  I was quite sure I'd have nightmares since I can't stop thinking bout it.
  But it was all good. hahhaa..
  Went shopping for my mum's Birthday present with her too!
  That's where we went to Moshi Moshi at PS to check some jewellery out.
  Nice meeting her friends too!
  It was there I could see the kindness she had for her firiends and loved ones,
  And that impressed me alot! A girl who's sweet and caring..
  hehe and who made me speak more Chinese than any other day! haha
  And check out what we saw at Plaza Singapura?

  
  

  
  A giant heart made from.. M&Ms!!! I want to EAT!

  
  

  After which we headed to Ichiban Boshi for Dinner.
  They served us a Valentine's day Set dinner that had the least of everything,
  In HUGE proportions.
  The Miso Soup, became a Miso Bowl.
  A bowl of Rice became a Cylinder of Rice.
  Conventional Chawanmushi looked like Chawan-Soupy in the huge bowl.
  Comfortingly, yet unfortunately the Ebi prawns were minute & little.
  What happened to their sense of Size and proportions??? haha

  
  

  Then we got to HMV to check out if my Final Fantasy CDs arrived.
  Was looking around for a Japanese Song too.. called "Born Legend"
  It was there that it reminded us to go take a Neo print too!
  The queue at one side was Earthwormy.
  It was long, wiggly, and... Earthwormy.
  While waiting, I was so impressed by one present a guy got for his date.

  
  

  
  I want that too! Love the Ferrero.. Mmm

  
  

  It was a little while later that I discovered that everyone else had that too..
  And there was one guy with a Huge bundle of it. haha
  Lacks Originality! but still.. Chocolately Alluring.
  After taking the Neo Print, we went to chill for a while before watching
  "Leaving you Loving you"
  Please as a caution to potential viewers..
  Please do NOT watch this movie!
  "It's not terrible nor horrible. It's absolutely Ghastly" - Simon from American Idol.

  
  

  At the end of the day, we had our special moments,
  Where we'd chat, listen to each other.. haha talk abt the stars and love.
  It was truely Valentiny indeed.
   And that assured me that Vivian would be a dear friend of mine.
   A dear girl too.. and a wonderful Valentine.
  If not, we'd say nothing and I'll feel like it's just so nice standing by her.
  And till now, she's been the first and ONLY girl
  who'd just simply do the things that i do that makes me happy.
  Thank you Vivian.. Happy Valentine's day

  
  

  
  Had to blur it to protect some privacy. haha

  
  

  And just today when I returned to camp,
  I was bringing my guitar to practice for this friday's performance,
  And 2 I/C of My Company LTA Toh caught me and said..
  "Reuben! What are u playing for Commander's Evening this friday?"
  I looked at him, took out my guitar and said..
  "I'll be playing This. December Night."
  I strummed, plucked, sang and closed my eyes.
  When i opened my eyes, he looked gayingly captivated.
  And said,"That was incredible. Your voice.. it's so.. it just got me."
  "You made that yourself? It was awesome. I was just so drawn into it.."
  "That emotion, music and Words.. they match flawlessly."
  "Bravo." ~ and then all the people at the room applauded.

  
  

  "Just one thing though..you've got the looks, style, voice and Talent but..

  
  

  .......
