19.

HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY KORRRR!

(I'm sorry that for the last few posts, it's been all about my brother, but yeah. Hehe)

Anyway!

It's your last TEEN year brother!

At nineteen:

you're more mature to be legal.

you are more responsible with your driving license

you get to count down to your big 2!

you shall free yourself of BMTC & OCS/Sispec.

you can throw away your "True Love Waits" card, heheh!

But most importantly, you're STILL the brother I love and cherish! (:

Nineteen things I've learnt about you throughout this eighteen years (in order of whatever pops into my mind first):

1. You're a person driven by dreams/end goals. & you never stop pursuing it until you've reached it.

2. You're able to handle stress in life, because you trust that God's in control

3. You love to scratch your head, even when it's not particularly itchy

4. You make loud funny/weird noises when you sleep.

5. You'd rather run than swim.

6. Music has been a part of your life, not your passion I'd say, but a gift God has given you.

7. You're an extremely awesome and my favourite listener (heh!)

8. Spending time with people impacts you more than gifts from people, even for birthdays.

9. You're not quick-tempered, but you'd need quite awhile to recover from any anger/frustration.

10. You're most of the time able to look at both sides of the situation & evaluate clearly.

11. You love taking pictures, but uploading them is a chore. Haha.

12. You like cute stuff, like piglet and your teddy. Haha!

13. You always need time to think and reflect, even in deeper conversations. You'd allow silence so that what you say comes out right.

14. You usually warn anyone who's annoying you that you're about to get angry if they don't stop. ("I'm getting angry, better stop ah." says you. :P")

15. You're a chivalrous man! :)

16. I guess sometimes playing the guitar, talking a longer bus ride, playing with Jingle just makes your day a little brighter.

17. You'll never let obstacles or hurdles stop you from doing what you want/know that you need to do.

18. Most of the time, you'll seek God's ways and approval in the things you do, cause you've always had this constant trust that God is faithful & He'll pull you through.

19. Family means a lot to you, and I know that you'll always love me even when I'm angry with you, or pissed you off, or even when I'm just so annoying. (:

I love you korkor!!!!

& I really hope you'll have a great birthday even in camp, though you'll only read this when you're out. Haha.

Ps: Kor! I've got not enough time to study for my exam!!!!!! Gahhhhh.

Rants rants rants.

Okayyyyy. I knew I would need you to be my listener somewhere along this week.

& tonight's it. But you aren't hereeeeee. )):

Miss you kor!!!

But I'm glad you're having fun doing guards. & I hope those pictures would bring a little of home to you (: Haha.

Btw, you should be glad you didn't take econs in JC cause it stinks!! Even smellier than you-know-what-is-blue-and-soft-and-smelly! HAHA.

Not for the faint hearted. HAHAHA.

Okay! It's gonna be a quick post, and I hope you'll bear with me. Cause you may read on and find this so wrong, or whatever and however you think it is. But I miss my broooooo ):

I really thank God that you enlisted on a weekend with the following weekend as CNY, so that you can book out earlier. But I'm beginning to miss you so much even though I just saw you just now.

But but! You're in tonight, until next saturday afternoon!! ):

I guess through your "disappearance", I've truly realised how much you mean to me.

How much I really need someone to talk to when I get home, just to talk about how I'm doing in school, spiritually, ministry and life as a whole, and yet knowing that you'll never get bored of my chatter, or judge me of my wrong doings.

How you'll always correct me, teach me and guide me to be a better person for God.

How I'd cry like a water tap, and laugh like a hyena, how you saw every single side of me and yet still loving me.

How you would fall asleep after I chatter on for over 2 hours. Hehe.

How much you are a blessing to me. (:

I really miss talking to the wee hours with you about life.

I guess I'll really have to learn how to treasure the nightly phone calls and the precious precious weekend you get. Haha.

Daaaang. it's gonna be a grueling SEVEN days without you!!! UGH!

NS stole my bf (best friend)

Yesterday, my mum, bro and I took neo-prints for the first time (we drew our dad in, cause he's overseas. HAHA )

Yesterday, I bought my brother a dog tag that says "Lemuel Teo // Ephesians 6:11-17"

Yesterday, I couldn't imagine that my bro's becoming a soldier in a few hours time.

Today, kor enlisted into the army.

Today, I heard the loudest "YES SIR!" I've ever heard in my life.

Today, I've seen the how united a group of people can be, though they've only met for a few hours.

Today, I saw my brother become a MAN, without crying! (:

Tomorrow, I'm gonna miss YOU so much, I can kill myself.

Tomorrow, I won't have anyone to go home with after church.

Tomorrow, I shall keep praying for you. For strength, willpower and the power to STAND (:

Love you many many best friend! :D

Hugs and kisses.
