Sorry peeps, haven't been updating this blog diligently, but well, I'm doing it at last.. The past month has been one learning journey for me. Books really have the ability to transfuse values and morals and teachings to us in a way that no other medium could (at least that is what I believe, it's my opinion, do not take it as fact, unless there is scientific evidence supporting this stand).

Read many books this month like 'the curious incident of the dog in the night-time' which I felt was a little over-rated even though the author really emphatised pretty well to an autistic boy; 'to kill a mockingbird' was a joy to read, brilliantly written to drive home values and the changes we go through from childhood to adolescence; then was 'man and boy' which spoke of how the lack of self-control (or the author can argue, Harry Silver's view of love) can screw the whole world up for you, I'm going to read the sequel 'man and wife' soon when I lay my hands on it; lastly, it was 'the alchemist' which spoke of pursuing your dreams and never giving up, it was a beautifully crafted work of art by Paulo Coelho, you should read it too!

This coming month, I will be spending most of my time up in Taiwan training the cadets. I will even celebrate my birthday over there! Drats.. Anyways, bought like a couple of books from borders as my friend had like this 20% discount thing, woohoos, expanding my book collection..=] Anyways, I am leaving on the 11th of April, and will only be back on the 7th of May, so until then, I will try to blog using the computers over there, but no promises. =] Take care people and God bless you loads!

Darn busy bros..

Heyo people! It' s been long since the last post. I apologise for that..=] Anyways, the training now is getting high-tempoed, so I might not be able to update this space so regularly..pardon me.

Well, I've just returned from outfield yesterday. It sure was tiring, but I could feel that the Lord was always by my side, even though I'm kind of experiencing some dry spells spiritually. It was on the 2nd day when I took a cadet for a battle course run. The course route was like one of the simplest I've ever seen, but that cadet managed, somehow, to get lost. I, taking for granted that he will not get lost on such an easy route, did not navigate. When he told me that I was like, "Dang! we're seriously lost!" I took over the navigation to get us back to the training shed, it was raining pretty heavily then. Then, the comms failed, thus I had to guide the driver using a guiding stick. This was the worst-case scenario I tell you. My plan was simple, to drive till I see something familiar, then do a map-to-ground reference. We travelled a long distance, I was drenched from hand to toe, thanks to the rain, and somehow we did not seem to be heading back. I then whispered a silent prayer unto the Lord. Next, I made a left turn and went straight, guess what? I saw the training shed. Man wasn't I relieved and thankful. This is a killer account I can assure you. Simply sublime to the max!

Well, from this I really know that no matter what, He is always there for me. I cannot picture a life lived without Him by my side. Well, sometimes you know you are wrong, but it is so hard to try change even though you want to. It seems that it is impossible, but well, I'm taking on the impossible! Wish me success..
