"Think where man's glory most begins and ends,
And say my glory was I had such friends."
- William Yeats

Hey people. It's been awhile seen i posted something here, well mostly cos alson screwed up the log in username and stuff and of course my ignorance to the changes, hence the MIA.

Today i ORD. The day i've been waiting for the past 2 years has finally descended upon me. Yet, this strange feeling of emptiness overcomes me, and after the initial rush of emotions, i'm back to being lost, clueless.

I enjoyed my time in the Army, but i knew, and i still know that my future lies beyond that. Much as i enjoy the regimentation and my work duties, it never struck me as a viable career option. I've always admired the drive that Alvin and Yi Sheng both possess, the knowledge to achieve in life, and the will to work towards it. It's just something that's not in me, and I can honestly say that much as i try to find it, it eludes me. To all my friends who have secured yourselves a place in the University, i congratulate you and i share in your joy, i wish you nothing but the best, for i know, and i am confident that you guys will achieve success.

I take comfort in Romans 8:28 "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." I think it's time i started to take my religion more seriously, to quote Nickelback/Alvin, i've been far away for far too long. I know that there's more to life than that. And i thank God for faith, to believe in the intangible, for i know who holds tomorrow, and i know who holds my hand.

2 years marks the end. No. It marks the begining of things to come. New challenges, new experiences. I'm thankful for getting by and getting high so far with a little help from you guys, my friends.

A toast to friendship. A friendship that will last forever and a day, this i'm sure.

Isaac.
