Today, Kelvin called at 10.50pm and we had less than 10mins to talk as lights out was at 1105pm.
Normally they had time to shower and all before sleeping but today they did not have to clean their bunks but instead were given time to shower in the evening and had a "talk-about-anything" session with their officers :D
Im glad there wasnt too much extreme punishment or workouts tonight because Kelvin and his other recruit friends needed to rest their already exhausted muscles :) Kelvin told me that they talked to their officers about anything which includes navy life and all. I think this talk about anything session has kind of motivated Kelvin to carry on fighting for his dream and passion!
This is the song that keeps Kelvin motivated and pushes him on:
The Navy Song (Sons of the Sea)
Onwards and upwards we've moved on and on.
Never looking back we'll always grow.
Onwards and upwards the best we'll show.
Chorus:
We're the ones the sons of the sea.
Mighty men of the Singapore Navy.
We will stand for the right,
We will fight to the end.
We will always be true to our land.
Our waters to guard to ensure they are safe.
It's a great task only meant for the brave.
It does make us proud to know that we
All play a part to protect our seas.
With our comrades in hand from the Land and the Air,
TO-GETHER we stand in defence of our land.
Never flagging in adversity,
Forward we'll march on to VICTORY.
Keep going Kelvin, I love you!
Navy song to push him on hei!? hm... I wonder if any of Don Moen's song can push him even more! :P
ReplyDeleteWell, Kelvin, you're doing very well. Give yourself a pat on the shoulder for all that you've achieved - things you thought you couldn't pull through. It's a choice you've made and a path that God is showing the way. Hang in there. You'll be fine.
