I remember I was still in BMT some weeks back. I was listening to a sermon by Pastor Judah Smith. He was talking on Judges 16 : 18. The story is on Samson. To cut the story short, Samson sinned against God, got captured by his enemies and was a slave to them. All Samson could think about then was God forgiving him and deliver him from his enemies. So he was asking God to remember him.

Judges 16 : 28

Then Samson prayed to the Lord,

“O Sovereign Lord, remember me. O God , please strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes.”

So the bottom line of the sermon is that God does remember you in your own difficult times. When you feel like you’re all alone facing your obstacles and trials, when you fall so deep you can’t climb out of a hole. God is there for you. So that sermon inspired me to write a song, a tune rather. It was during one of those times in camp, I had my guitar and just enjoying some alone time with God. I just played out a song however with no words. And I enjoyed that song. I kept playing it randomly after that wherever I went. Church, fellowship, gatherings – you name it.

So one day Nick heard that song and said that he would help me put some lyrics in. That took sometime and we finally made some time to literally finish that song. I told him about what inspired me to write that tune and viola, he just wrote down a couple of words and a verse, pre chorus and chorus was formed. Basically a 3/4 finished song. Its titled Remember Me and we recorded it yesterday using a not so good mic for skype .

So here are the words.

Remember Me by Nicholas Tan and Alastair Leong

Verse

The world will only judge you
By what they see
So give them a run for their money
Be whoever you want to be

Pre Chorus

Don’t worry about a thing who knows
What tomorrow can bring.

Chorus

Even though I feel alone
Not where I should be
Through things I cannot bear
It is plain to see that you’re here with me
Nothing I do is good enough
So I ask
Remember me

love this guy’s work. check it out (:

i’ve come to a conclusion. facebook and google chrome don’t go together. for the past 5 days now i’ve been trying to upload photos using google chrome. BUT it kept failing, even after i resized my pictures. so i used firefox just now, and it worked fine.

sheesh.

alright, i’m finally inspired to pen down stuff.

BMT is over. I survived, thanks to god. (:
I’ve made friends, but sadly not the friends I thought I would make during this BMT. They said that it is during BMT you make life long friends. But somehow that term life long doesn’t apply to me. Its not that they’re bad people, just.. people I don’t know so well. I don’t know about their family backgrounds, their life, why and what they do daily. just simple stuff like that. but well no regrets. I enjoyed my 3 months in that island full of botaks. Learning what is there to learn, regimental and non – regimental. Of course nothing can replace what I went through during that period and I would say I would not trade it for anything else. I finally passed my ippt thanks to god’s grace and well my friends’ constant encouragements everyday. Thanks to Shavonne for keep being there during the tough days, for keep wanting to support and hear my constant complaints.
Well some of you might’ve heard; last week of BMT (like literally) was this thing called the Standard Obstacle Course (SOC) test. So basically this course consists of 3 parts. First you run 50m, then of course you start the obstacle course of many things challenging both physcially and mentally. The last obstacle of the course is this ramp. You run up a slope to roughly about 2m, at the end of the ramp you have to jump off landing on the ground. Now, right below there are barb wires, so mentally you’ll think that you have to jump further to avoid it. Well before the actual test, we were given a chance to do it twice. Both times I freaked out just as I got to the edge. But I jumped off still, landing properly. On the day of the test, I felt confident and ready to complete the course. When I jumped off, I felt free and happy! But when I landed, not so happy. I somehow only managed to land straight, on my feet. Upon landing, I felt this remarkable pain from my waist all the way up to my upper-mid back. I fell straight forward hitting the ground. Well cut things short, I was hospitalised on the 2nd of Sept, some 6 days before my Passing Out Parade. I’m diagnosed with a T6 Burst Fracture, basically the 6th vertebra of the spinal cord is burst creating a fracture. (I think). Well, currently staying home till the doctor says I’m good to go.

Thats just what happened in the past 3 months. Looking forward to which where I’ll be posted to next. Alright, I’m inspiration ends here.
