Day 11 of OBO... The cause of your going...

It's such a coincidence that today 9/11 is the 11th day you're out at sea... Well 6 years ago, the USA fell victim to terrorism. Initially, they just went to destroy terrorist networks in Afghanistan... Now, 6 years on, they've made a mess of the whole world... Not only did they allow terrorist cells to sprout all over the world, they've also killed Iraq... And because of that, we have to suffer... Although indirect, we still feel the pinch... That's the reason why you're there now... Why do we have to pay the price of one man's mistakes? This totally and utterly sucks... Haiz...

Anyway, I'm alone in office now... Just finished doing up the accounts on Excel... Got to transfer them onto the accounting software later... Not challenging... Just very very very tedious... Haiz... And thing is you just can't copy and paste... So annoying... Haiz... And I've got like another 3hrs more before I finish work... Sigh... Oh well... Then I've got bible class later tonight... Sigh... Anyway, I better get back to work now... I'm waiting for your call my love...

I love you! I miss you! I'm waiting for you!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just got home from work and bible class... Waiting for your call before I go to bed... You're due to start your watch in about 1hr10min time... So I do hope you call back before that... Haiz... I wish I can call you... I hope that'll be the case from tomorrow till Friday when you finally reach land... Haiz... This wait is killing me...

Anyway, after you hung up this afternoon, I called the SPF to tell them that I'm withdrawing my application (I know this comes as a shock to many)... Frances was really really nice about it... Initially when she answered and I said it was me, she was so excited... She was like, "A, Rebecca! Congratulations!" Then I told her the story... Of course she was a bit sad initially, but after I explained it to her, she was really supportive about it... And then we started talking about religion and all that... She's so so very very sweet... She's the kind of cop we all learn about... Well according to her, I was one of only three people who made it through the interview round that day... So that means I must have impressed... But I guess God has other plans for me... Maybe he wants me to really see the real world before I start my career... Maybe he wants me to discover something that's been hidden all the time... I don't know...

So that was that... I went for bible class after work... It was quite alright... Wasn't paying attention though... I was thinking only about you and what we're gonna do when you come home... That's all I could concentrate on... Sigh... I wish it for be tomorrow... But then again, I know that day will not come till 102 days later... 2 weeks have almost gone by... But there still is 14 weeks left to go... Sigh... So near yet so far... So fast yet so slow... Haiz... The only consolation is that everyday that passes means everyday closer to your return? I'm counting down... Are you?

Anyway, that's all for today... I'll be waiting for your call... Meanwhile, I need to get down to accounting for my own finances... Just to make sure that I have enough...

I love you darling... And it grows as each day passes... I miss you lots... And this intensifies as each day goes on... And I'll always wait for you... And the anticipation of your return heightens as a new day breaks...
