Liberation

As you all know it today is the day that liberation set eyes upon me, yup i got back my pink ic plus a sticker to paste on the back of my 11b that declares that am a nsmen. It felt really long to actually wait for that moment that finally am liberated from the restriction which binds me from doing what i want. Anyway what's the meaning of ORD, to many it means freedom and end of army. But ORD is actually not the end but a beginning of a new chapter of my book. A chapter of facing the harsh reality of life, well people always say army definitely trains boys to become men. But i think it's more like a stepping stone that gives you a taste of how life would be outside of army.

Went back to camp in the morning to collect my precious(pink ic), the wait for my clearance was about 4 hours. Had to wait for the officers to finish their meeting before i could get the clearance signature from the overall in charge of my unit. The wait was long but i need to thank God for that cause i forgot to bring my house key. So even if i could get myself out of camp early i would still had to wait for my mom to get home first. Anyway during the wait at camp, did catching up with people that's not going to ORD yet. It was fun joking around for 1 last time, basically the jokes revolves around the topic of ORD. Ya it felt GREAT that finally i completed my service, i got my ic back and was given a certificate of service. By the way my conduct was very good and performance was outstanding (thats what it's written in that cert).

Had dinner with bert and ben, dinner was great and went starbucks to relac one corner. Had great fellowship, talked about loads of stuff. So whats liberation from temptations, wow thats hard to avoid. Temptations that tries to lead you off from the christian walk, the effects sometimes makes you think that your not worthy of God grace. But then again if we are so unworthy then why God sent his only son to exchange for our sins and why God forgives sinners that done stuffs thats like more sinful. But then again temptations always knocks on your doors when your alone, trying to sell their stuff that's better than what God's offering eternally. Well i guess prayers can help liberate from temptation or otherwise talk about it to people who will be a listening ear. Few more minutes to official ORD and hello to the exclusive ORD club.
