Echo company has asked me to do a write up on myself. The commanders asked everyone to do it actually. y? cos they want the next batch of recruits to noe bout the lives of the people who were here before them..to noe bout their brothers in arms... oh well, here's what i wrote bout myself any comments?

Name : Edward Thinesh (ironic huh ?)
D.O.B : 100386
RACE : Indian
RELIGION : Catholic ( & lovin it!)


Ok, enough of the basics… Now listen up . . . .

· I believe I was born into this world to make a difference.
· I come from a family of 5, with 2 older sisters.
· I try to be nice to people
· Religion plays a major role in my life. It basically dictates how I live it.
· Friends mean more to me than anything. If I had to rank them, friends and religion would share the 1st spot in terms of importance.

· I love animals. My fav one would be the Dog. I simply cannot imagine a world without dogs.
· Although I spent 6 LOOOOONG months in Echo (Eagle) Coy, I feel its been a blessing..esp cos it came with perks such as Foxy, the resident Dog.

· I’m jovial and tend to be very optimistic.. most of the time, at least.
· I detest backstabbers and hypocrites.
· I can be your best friend… but not your worst enemy.
· I constantly seek a closer relationship with God and my mission in life.
· The high points in my life include going on a trip to Payatas, a dumpsite in the Philippines, for missionary work.. and joining a youth group in church called YLM (Youth Liturgy Ministry).

· I tend to be extremely chatty at times. To the point where pple find me kinda irritating. But well, guess that’s juz the way I am =)

· I am open to meeting new people as I tend to try not to judge people by face value.
· I came from St. Michael’s Pri (1993 – 98) and Braddell-Westake Sec (1999 – 2002).
· I’m a Manchester Utd FC supporter.. So sue me =)

I'm back.

Yes im still alive..haha. I dunno..guess i juz lost the initial zest for blogging. but here i am.
Well, a lot of things have happened since my last entry. For starters my life as a recruit in the SAF is (FINALLY!!) drawing to a close after 6 looooong months. I have roughly 2 weeks left on 'The Island'. I've lost a whole lot of weight - close to 17 kgs. The difference is visible and im glad.

Being so far awayfrom home for the last 6 months has definitely taken its toll on me. There were nights where I juz felt like I couldn't go on...there were just so many things going on that i couldn't be a part of. And mainly, so many things, good and bad, were happening to the people I love and I just couldnt be there with them, for them. Its just in my nature to care. So if someone were to come up to me and ask me y i was so 'kay poh'.. sticking my nose into other's issues.. This is what i've got to say to them : I have come a long way to be where I am. All credit goes to the Man up there. Without God, nothing good would have happened in my life. It was this same God that put people around me.. the people were there to teach me, love me, help me grow and mostly, be as Christ to me. I experience God most profoundly/tangibly through the people around me. So its only right and Christian of me to do the same for them. I want to serve his people, love his people (and creation on the whole) and be a Christian leader for His people... I want to be as Christ to them.
So if anything were to happen to these people whom I've grown to love so much...I want to be there, In good times or bad. To share the Joys and Pains. I'll never forgive myself if i just sat back, watched and not do anything significant to help these people in their tmes of need.
When it comes to YLM, it becomes extra special. The people in there brought me closer to the God i love...who brought me these people I love..so it goes full circle. I share my life with YLM and Ylm shares her life with me..its a very special bond. Each and every member has a very , very special place in my heart. What pains me most is to see the people in there come in with thw wanting/passion to serve..only to be pretty significantly swayed a while after joining. The group has changed. And it sucks to know that I wasn't there to help. But all was not lost..miserable as I was/am.. I still managed to do my part, meager as it may seem. And this time. it wouldnt have been possible without two special people - Christ and Stella. Christ gave me strenth to push on, not give up and kept reminding me y I cared to bother myself with issues that need to be addressed. He also sent me Stell. Stell, I'd like to thank u for being there, listening to me and sharing with me...thank u for staying up on all those loooong late night chats. Thank u for being you..thank u once again, for just being there. A LOT of things wouldn't have been possible without ur help.. believe me.
This doesn't mean that in the past few months of troubles, the others around me didnt play a part in helping me tide over the problems....no...seriously, THANK GOD FOR EVERYONE ELSE TOO! I just wish to point out Stella as she has played a Major role in al of this.

I dunno why I felt like resurrecting my blogging habits...but I did. And it has helped me get a few things out of my mind and into words. Thank God for Blogs. Well, thats all for now... and to everyone in my life ==> Love ya!
