1 year ago...
I was a civilian
I was at pasir ris bus interchange,
Waiting for the bus to take me to the ferry terminal.
Got on the ferry which brought me to an entirely new place.
Got to know some of the nicest guys I've ever met in my entire life.
Got to know myself abit better through the tough times.
Regrets? Yes, the fact that I didn't try harder. I didn't try my best.
Soon after was POP and then came unit life.
Another new environment, another new group of friends.
Was I happy? No because I still hated the fact that I was in army.
Got to operate machines that no one would ever have the chance to.
Got to travel to a place I've never thought I had the chance to.
I put on some weight and realize the coveralls weren't so loose anymore :)
People ask me, how's your life in army?
I used to reply with 'sucks', but now I actually feel happy.
It's not that I've grown to like the army,
It's more of how I cherish the time with people who've been through shit with me.
God never fails to surprise us with His blessings.
It's just up to you to see those blessings among the trials He's given you.
No matter how dark your night may be,
Only He can make it day.
PS. Gemma Arteton is SOOO PRETTY!

' No man that seeketh after things of this life, is a soldier who passes the test. '
A soldier. I've got to know what a soldier is like in the past year. A soldier has to listen and carry out the instructions given by his higher ups no matter what. Isn't that similar to what soldiers of Christ should be as well? We should follow the commandment given to us by God in the Bible.
A soldier has to wear the right attire for the right activity. We as soldiers of Christ should be the same as well. Always equipped with the correct gear in order to fight this spiritual war.
A soldier has to be healthy and fit in order to win the war. Am I?
I haven't been going to church regularly, or yf, or having fellowship with BASICs outside of church.
What have I been doing?
Has army really made me a sloth in the civilian world?
Am I even hardworking in army? i might've been but not anymore now.
2013, how much more will I change in this upcoming year?
Or rather, will I change for the better? Or worse?
Pray for me, will ya? If anyone ever reads this...
All I pray for now, is to live a god-centred life.
