went back to camp today, because we have make-up lessons for the time spent on the funeral on wednesday... basically it's all lecture-based and is super boring... but well, better than charging up hills and rolling in mud... but the worst new is that i have to go back to camp tomorrow too!!! a sunday!!! my once-in-a-week time with my Lord in his house... but what choice do i have??? hmmm...
in spite of all these not-so-joyful things, i came home and opened my letterbox with a HUGE surprise... inside sat this big brown envelope... with my name on it!!! [usually these kind of large stuff are addressed to my parents, yet today it writes "BENJAMIN"!!!]

and when i opened it, it's full of nice tidbits and snacks... from TAIWAN!!! THANK YOU ALYSON for all of them!!! it's super touching la, for someone to get to that great a distance and effort just to send tidbits over... and it's super nice too!!! i particularly like those soft sweets... they're marvelous manz... and i suddenly feel so loved!!! firstly when rosel actually blogged about it; and now with alyson sending me all these nice food... can feel that something is blossoming in this sad week of my life when i have to skip church and go back to army camp on saturday and sunday... i really thank god for putting these people into my life, really brightening up my life and making my life the best life in the world... wahahaha... love you guys manz!!! thank you pals for making my life the perfect life that i ever wanted... :-)
