Frustration!!

Honestly!! This is getting more and more irritating!!

The fact of being posted to the worst office in a good unit is bad enough, then in comes the travelling distance from my house to the camp and doing that for 5 days a week, one and a half year more!!

Financial difficulties is even more worse than the travelling part. Struggling to spend on food, repairs, new stuffs to replace my spoiled stuffs, travelling expenses. And I'm also intending to save up. All this just isn't going good at all!! ENLISTMENT PAY REALLY SUCKS FOR NON-COMBATANT!!! I really hate the feeling of not being able to support myself adequately!

You know what, despite of all these stuffs, I'm still going to give back to God regularly. In fact I just bought a 'chair for soul' chair. I think this is really awesome, knowing that the chair I sponsored will help someone come to know the love of God. I trust that God will help me out these situation because ultimately it is His will be done, not mine.

TRUST!!

NEGATIVE

This word 'negative' has a lot of different expressions and usage, and many of time it is used to depict a certain disapproving or bad state of mind or feelings. More often than not, this word will bring along denial or rejection of certain situation or happening. and not many people take that very well. The phrase 'Why are you so negative...' is one of the many phrases that is used to rhetorically question someone as being sad or upset about a certain condition.

Honestly, this word have been so widely used as such a condition that it starts to make us think that whenever 'negative' is used, something bad has happened, happening currently or is going to in the near or far future.

However, I do have to say this...I'm really glad to hear this word recently and it brought a whole new different meaning to me...Who cares what the general public is using this word! This word has just entered my most favourite word-list!!

AWESOME!!!

Social Awareness

Talking about awareness...it really seems like many of my current peers aint very aware of what they are talking about. I got this classmate that keep claiming that he has went to church a few times and that he knows a lot about christianity. Honestly, for someone who claims that, how can he still be so insensitive and ignorant about things concerning about this. Eg. is like reading aloud from the LKY the 'Hard Truth' book many comments that talk about christianity. The thing is not that he is reading, but choosing to speak aloud in front of others and using very doubtful tone altogether. Another thing is that he would always say 'no offence ar...' for things that are offensive at the very nature of the question like asking if I'm believing or superstitious about my faith in Christ. Dont anyone think that this is really going overboard!

I must really learn to have patience with people like this kind of people because they choose to be ignorant due to some bad experiences they encountered or fearful of encountering. God, I really need patience for this thing. Help me oh Lord!!

Being a technician!

like what the title suggest, I'm currently serving the nation as a technician. I really don't know how to put it, but I would say it has its pros and cons.

After these few weeks or actually months to be exact, I really benefited a lot from this vocation as I was able to learn new things and venture into a totally new field of profession from what I have been taking in poly. The only bad thing I would say is the allowance given for people like me, noncombatants...hahaa!! but I wouldn't complain much about it. Management of money will need to come into the picture, and really doing it wisely.

I really am grateful for the place I'm in and also for the people around me like my classmates, instructors and superiors. Exclusivity comes into play now and then, but it isn't really the end of the world. Its time to just look at things with a pinch of salt and lens of objectivity. =)

Saving Up!!

Ever since I realised that army is the best time to save up, I have been making effort to save up as much as possible. However, my monthly allowances havent been enough for me to even save anything. I'm saying this because no matter how much effort i put in saving up, there would always be things i need to buy because it has spoiled or that i'm in lack in.

honestly, I really hope that soon i might be able to save up at least 15% of my monthly allowance so as to prepare for the future. =/

Back Again!!

It has really been quite a while since I last posted something on this blog. I guess this new post should re-spark my passion or decision to start blogging again.

Anyway, things have been going swiftly when I'm in NS. Somehow I can see myself started getting used to the lifestyle in army. Thank God that I'm posted to a place where I can learn new things and benefit a lot during this 2 years of service.

Honestly, I'm still amazed at how God have been working in my life in all the small places. All I can say is that this life I'm living I owe it to God. I'm really grateful...Thank you God!!

I want to be a radio DJ...

I want to be a radio DJ!!

I have been thinking about my future and things that I want to do in life...and I realised that I always wanted to be a radio DJ...

I know I know...I said I wanted to be a teacher before...but I guess that is also something I want to do, but like what my mom said...that could be something I do in the later part of my life...

I think I really want to explore and see if I'm able to go into this profession...=)
