Boredom Madness

The dust has settled and I recall the challenges ,of being apart from home for so long, of living independently without income and of maintaining a LDR have been really difficult, and the experiences of seeing and learning new things of different cities and countries. Perhaps its time to journal some of the journey. I remember the thoughts as I boarded the plane left, how I prayed that God will water the seeds that have been planted. Learning I can't say goodbyes well, and that my preference not to attach myself to anything as much as possible. I remember how I never took a plane for 3 years, since I was always occupied in Singapore, and my first time flying was to Europe alone on 22th Jan to Czech Republic without data in the middle of the night. What an experience. Always thought I was going to not make it to my hostel in time, and had no google map to use since my flight was delayed yet ending up at my hostel at 2am alone. By His grace, the experience will live with me

Dear God, How blessed am I? How incredible is it that You have placed so many people that love me, and show their love to me in so many different ways. Love, I don't deserve.  How under-appreciative, am I? As the clock ticks, and the body weakness. When life throws unexpected surprises and turns your world upside down. How can thy be so self-centred. Seeking to make the next step for thy future but failing to appreciate the sacrifice others' have made. Time so precious, and so little.  Ministry is the privilege You have given me, but give me time to tend to those who have loved me. I entrust Your sheep into Your hands, as I will entrust those who have sacrificed much for me into Your hands. Have Your way, and hear my cry. You told me faith as small as a muster seed can move mountains. Help me believe, help me stand steadfast in You. Save those whose love I don't deserve.

Dear future Seng,  I just want you to remember a few things when you recall your memories in army. I know you hate army. That fact will never change, I hate it now too. Don't worry, we are 2 stubborn dudes. But remember, without army: 1. You would not know how to operate the excavator, dozer, shovels. Heavy plant aka Earthmovers. 2. You would not be this skilled at driving. 3. Your mind map of the roads in SG, it wouldn't be this good if the army didn't send you to Eunos, Woodlands, Pasir Ris, Sembawang, Seletar, Yishun. Be thankful, that despite the long travel hours, you learnt something some people don't have. 4. You would not have been humbled. With your bunk mates, you saw some of your blind spots. 5. Because of the horrible locations and the constant changing of camps that never were near the west, you learnt to appreciate time. 6. You learnt to be thankful for the small blessing you found in a camp that took you 2.5 hours to go from

So... I should give brief updates shouldn't I? Well, recently, I have been travelling a bit lately. To Taiwan and to Thailand. So let's start with Taiwan. So Taiwan was a holiday with my army friends. We went for a period of 10 days? or more. Am not really putting much effort to recalling the length of the trip but it doesn't matter. More important were the memories made there which I would admit, was not as fun as my first trip there probably because it is with a larger crowd, and I have seen some of the things there before. I still managed to do some of my shopping and all. See sheeps, limestones and other sight seeing places like Sun Moon Lake. Gosh, but was the new year period a bad time. We got stuck in the jam for like almost a whole day. Leaving us with just the evening for one of the last few days. First time at a Geopark, at a sheep farm, attending a countdown party in Taipei, and chilling at a cafe in Taiwan. Other than that, all were mainly repeats like Shi

Hm... I honestly hope that one day, I will be like that too... a man of God. Well, I don't know what happened to the embled code or something. Just gotta click the link to youtube bah.. Skit Guys - Man of God: http://youtu.be/AS5sRvF60js

NDP, every NSFs National Death Penalty. Well, that was what I felt like I got sentenced to when I heard the news in Feb. Thinking back, I remember pretty vividly how depressed I was. Nothing could cheer me up. All that was flooding my mind was all the sacrifices that I was going to be forced to make and I had no say nor any ability to have that cup taken away from me. Sure, I knew my parents would be proud that their son would be involved in Singapore's 49th birthday when I broke the news to them, but their son was in no sense amused or being filled with a sense of pride and honour on being given the opportunity to do so. This was a death penalty in my eyes, and one that would take me a few days to be  get back into the right frame of mind. At least the news was broken to us way in advance to allow our minds to get back into the right frame of mind. It really helped, because if I was made to jump straight into rehersals during that period of time, I would not have given a care in
