So Dark The Con of Man.

A few precious moments to blog, i've being blessed with a few short hours of nights out before i return back to camp. My weekends will be burnt this week; i'm on ops.

Yeah. Ops yet again.

We protect Singapore 24/7, and hardly anyone knows the existence of my unit. Let's keep it that way.

Behind a veil of secrecy we span our wings of service.

To an ungrateful nation, to a ignorant populace.

To the young and to the old.

To those who go normally to work, and to the children who play happily at the play ground.


If you are already yawning even before you reach this point, you belong to one of those faces.

You just don't know....

"So dark the con of man..."

Spending time alone in camp, trying to avoid the masses, this can drive a person insane. Well, though i have not reached that stage yet, my mind's been pretty disturbed the past few nights. Warm weather plus supper thanks to bunkmate Force Sergeant Zul has pretty much disturbed my normal pattern of the nocturnia.

Well, I could only do the thing that actually mattered.

I prayed.

Prayed about lifegroup, prayed about university...

...prayed about the future.

The fear is really real. Up till date all my uni apllication had being rejected. It seems I've got nowhere much to go to after my ORD.

Bible School? It's a possibility, but going down that path would most properly incur the wrath of every single living organism in the House of Ng. A short term at Tungling would be the most viable option for now. Though i haven't discounted the possibility of a university calling oversea.

And I'll be going for my retreat next week! Yay, hopefully I'll be able to find the answers that I've been searching for so long in that camp. I need to do alot of soul searching, and to find strength perhaps when i sit by the beach and turn my ears to the soft sound of the crashing waves...

But wait, the retreat is held in the heart of a city!

=(

And then it's Bali next.

My first mission trip. Though i wouldn't call it a mission trip exactly. It's sort of a "encouraging the saints there; empowering them to serve God more efficiently". Though i still have trouble sometimes thinking what i can accomplish there.

Use me.

I am willing.
