A Journey of uncertainties.....

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11)

Hi everyone! Back again to update on my boring life here in Brunei. Recently, have just started to read this book entitled,'reaching for the invisible God'. Though I've completed reading a few books since my stay here, the book is sort of interesting to me. Cos it talks about how do we get close to God even if we can't see him or touch him physically. At the end of every chapter, there will always be a quote say by some ppl. I personally like this one,

"If knowing answers to life's questions is absolutely necessary to you, then forget the journey. You will never make it, for this is a journey of unknowables - of unanswered questions, enigmas, incomprehensibles, and most of all, things unfair." Madame Jeanne Guyon

I agreed with the quote, because life is really fully of uncertainties. We never really know what will happen the next moment. What we can do is, everytime we faced difficulties, we should try to work the best out of it. Stop asking God , the "why,why,why" question. Instead, ask Him " Lord, how can i make the best out of it." and ask for strength to go through the difficulties.

Well, yesterday just taken 3 extra duties from my DY COMD. 1st time kanna extra duties. Don't ask me why, cos the reason is rather stupid. Thus, will be doing 9 duties this coming month. Well thats life, will try to live the best out of it ba. :)

Just came back from outfield a few days ago. Two words to sum up the whole outfield, 'itchiness' and 'clumpsy'. This field trip encounter a lot more flying enemy as compared to the previous outfield, kanna alot of mosquito bites. Also, after came back got skin rashes so 'heng' sia. As for 'clumpsy', its meant for my driving. Not really proficient in my driving skills. Knock down a pole during the driving at night using NVD. frankly speaking, was a bit disappointed with my performance during the outfield. Thought that i could do better than this. Well, guess have to really brush up my skills before the next outfield ba.

Have just finished reading 'tuesday with morries'(Thks to Sher for the bk :) ). Its really a very meaningful book, touch on different topics that concern us and the people around us. Good book, enjoy reading it. :) Have decided to takde up driving lesson here so that can get a driving license here. Will be taking the lessons together with my platoon mates. Hopeful it will be managable for us.

by the way, I've just tight down with my officer, will be going back Singapore on 31st may for my vacation. Tentatively, thats the day la cos need to find ppl to come up to stand in for me while I'm away. Hopefully can find one so that i can go back.

Hi everyone, its been quite a while since i update my blog. Time really flies, i've been here for 3 months ler. another 3 more months or so i will be able to go back to Singapore for my long awaited home leave! Can't wait for that day to come sia. CNY Open House is finally over. Commander say we did a great job and awarded each of us 2 days off. Well, not that i'm self praising, but i felt that we really did a great job, especially in the area of the deocrations. A lot of the guest likes the flower decorations at the lobby. Too bad don't have the pictures with me now. Will post it up once i have the chance to do it. Now we are back to the time that we can slack a bit and prepare ourselves for outfield AGAIN... really felt very tired cos everytime go out will be a good 3 days gone... after that still must clean our equipment... no choice have to go...

I'm down with flu again... haiz... feeling terrible right now.. need to drink lotsa lotsa water and take vitamins too. a bit low in morale cos no one is around to look after me when I'm sick especially my family members.... so sian sia.. alone in the foreign land , 'ren zai yi xiang'....sob sob.. please pray for me that I will be able to recover fast from my flu before my outfield. Also, pray for strength and wisdom to always follow God's word and be a shinning light for Him in the Camp and Brunei.
