Lightning Rod.

A few months ago, Pastor Mike Connell (if I'm not wrong) was preaching about finding a lightning rod in our life.

What exactly is lightning rod in our life?
Well, lightning rod basically act the function like those lightning rod you see on the top of every HDB building, to prevent any lightning from hitting the building. So basically, it's sort of preventing the damage of the building.

When we applied it to ourselves, we are in the form of "building" in that scenario. Lightning referring any storms we faced in our life. So what then is lightning rod? Lightning rod just someone around our life. Someone whom you trust he/she is able to confide in, able to rest on, able to rely on. AND that's is really very important in our life.

Let's see in this scenario:
If one day you feel so left out inside a clique. That point of time, you should be starting to feel like as if you are out-casted because of something regarding you. Then the devil start to attack you even more by casting more negative thoughts into your brain.
"AHHH, must be because i didn't say things in that way, that why.." or maybe "i must start to say this and that so that i can be inside the clique again."
Then all kinds of impossible answer became possible through the assistance of the devil. Then your self-esteem is damaged, your confidence is lowered, your mood became moody etc.. You became another person. And you wanted to find someone to talk about it but you found no one. There's no lightning rod is your life. There's no one you can rely on. You are just alone, facing the stormy weather alone.
After awhile, you thought that such thing is common in our life. We could just let it past and looking forward to the next day. And so, time passed and true enough you managed to forget about the unhappiness, the unbearable moment of out-casted. You are happy about it. You managed to SKIP all those unhappiness.
Then one fine day, things happened again. This time you are super down. Because of previous incident + this incident, you kind of confirm that you are in fault. From then on, you changed. The impact is in your heart, and you never get to share it out because you thought you are REALLY GOOD at handling such stuff because it happened so many times in your life. You really thinks that you are like God, but thats wrong my friend.
Even Jesus, whom is the Son of God shared his problem around. Share his unhappiness. What moreover is us.

My advise to those people who are not does not have any lightning rod. Start finding 1 now. It's not neccessary must be the same old people always. Not every lightning rod that you find can conduct the same lightning voltage. Everyone in this world definitely needs 1.

For me, my lightning rod is none other than Him, Jesus. What about yours?

Well, this week of training is kind of tiring. Not only been navigating around Paris Laba Camp, but as well as Lower Mandai. Though its really super fun but still its tiring not just only physical but mentally as well.

Haven't been having enough rest this week. Always sleep around 11pm to 1am, and then have to wake up on the same time - 5.15am. Then have to focus on a lot of stuff. UGH..

Though lost in the jungle, nevertheless the Way is always there for me. Though a bit 'holland' here n there, but still we are back in 1 full piece. Thank God everything.

Finally i got my first PTE paycheck! ha, more than what i expected.. Kind of blessing~ :D

WHY LEARN?

JUST A PENNY THOUGHTS OF MINE...

Nowdays youth, teenagers... or maybe this might applied to some adults is having this "WHY LEARN" attitude towards their life. BUT never did they know something, that this 2words is words of our life. This 2 words enriches our knowledge, our attitude towards life and might be the key for us to have an breakthrough.

So how do we fully utilize the 2 word? Well, we have to start by breaking this 2 words into a word itself - "WHY" & "LEARN"
"WHY WHY WHY?" Why do we have to do this? Why do we have to do that? Why is this occuring? Basically our life is full of question mark. Too much mysteries. But when we start to ask ourselves why, we took the first step to recognise something in our lives. Creating a curious heart within ourselves.

BUT just asking isn't enough, we have to find out. We have to take action. We have to know where can we source for the answer. By friends? Internet? Wiki it? Or many others secret technique you have. Most importantly is we have to know our answer!

Then next, we got our answers. But we don't LEARN from there! We just "oh, so thats how it works" then we move on to our next question mark and so on..

BUT guys/girls, see this. 'WHY' is linked with 'LEARN'. It just that we made it so negative that nothing of the positive is able to excel in that word.

At the end of the day, i just hope that whoever who reads this blog of mine, will understand "why learn" attitude is suppose to have. *wink*

BMTC SCHOOL 2; RAVEN COY; PLATOON 3

P.O.P LO!

w my dad

w my mum

POP LO!!

Last but not lest, my platoon SGT

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow... plenty of wow. seriously wow.

This platoon really rocks, especially this section. Though conflicts arise, though we have things comon and uncommon, though each of us had our flaws but still, WE ARE A PART, NOT APART.

I'm starting to love NS life, loving the buddies and bro-hood in there. Thinking of the first day when i first enlisted, everyone like a blur cock. Expecting life to be like civilian life, till we get whack hard hard in the ass and *Poofff* we woke up from our civilian dream.

Then we share complains and whining, start to target people to shoot and suan, begin to enjoy each other companions, looking at the sea infront of our windows... appreciating the scenery and spending time at the sunset.

Then we walked the route march, we sing along the way, we support each other and finally, we completed our 4km, 6km, 8km then followed by 12km and 16km... last but not lest, we tong until 24km ends and YES!!! FINALLY. The time is coming, about time for us to say goodbye to each other; PASSING OUT PARADE (POP).

2months just passed like that, and that when the real NS life is coming. 2 months in BMT gave me a memorable experience of NS.
So, reader out there who is about to be enlisted, OR maybe you are in NS right now, or maybe you have already ORD... but don't ever forget the days in army.

I really really thank God for giving me this company, this platoon, this section, this bed, theses SGTs, and most importantly this life of mine.

THE LAST BURST OF FIRE...

THE VERY LAST BURST OF FIRE.

24KM ROUTE MARCH AND THEN...

P.O.P LO.
