Anticipate my arrival
I learned one thing today - Never wear orange to camp. I wore an orange tee today and cos i took half day off, i felt so bright and eye-catching when i was leaving. The color just mismatched the whole army theme, so yeah, i will avoid wearing orange to camp. Yellow isn't any better, but thankfully red and a few other bright colors are still wearable in camp without looking out of place.
Oh. Gluttony. I had 5 scoops of ice-cream today. One in the afternoon just before lunch. I went to this homemade ice-cream store at Sunset Way Arcade called the Daily Scoop and had a Rum & Raisin ice-cream on a cone. It was delightful under the blazing sun, but it wasn't as tasty as the R&R from Sweet Stix. Anyway, spent most of my boring afternoon chatting and catching up with some friends i haven't spoken to in a while.
Went for dinner with family to our favourite Ivins restaurant, where i had another 3 scoops of ice-cream (Banana split). It was good, but i was freezing in the air-con restaurant after that. That's four scoops so far.
Headed to good ol Ngee Ann library after dinner to study. Spent a good 2 hrs mugging my Communications reader. Decided to take a break from Sociology today. Library closed at 2100 hrs so i headed home and had more ice-cream! Had a green tea macha ice-cream from Sweet Stix, which in my opinion, makes one of the best macha ice-cream in the world! Well, Singapore at least.
So here i am, blogging. I don't blog as often nowadays as i'm so caught up with a whole lot of other commitments, like studies (especially) and camp and driving lessons and all. I've already downed a lot of my church activities to close to zilch, cos i just can't handle it. It's really just too much to take for me. But no, i won't give up on God. The Vine and the branches must stay connected. God is my lifeline. I can't live without Him. Well, i'm glad to say that i am on my way back to Him after backsliding some. I had a good chat with 3 friends few nights ago, Felicia in M'sia, good ol June in Perth and my sec school friend Matthew, and they all encouraged me so much with my problems and especially my being strayed from God. I do miss them a lot, and i'm really grateful to them, and evermore thankful that God had always been there when i needed Him, even when i couldn't tell.
Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus...
Oh, and not to brag, but my officer is really happy with my "Suspicious characters" posters, and he may want to get it approved for circulation in other army camps. As Willy Wonka would say, "WoW", i'm really awed and excited if my efforts really do go to other camps. It's great to see my work appreciated and used for a cause. Madness!
Anyway...
Going to do my QT now, just before retiring to bed. I better rest early tonite for another long day in camp tmr. Things have been getting a little better here and there. I really hope and trust that God knows what i'm going thru in my life, and i look forward to the time when i am back on my feet again, stronger and better.
Anticipate my arrival...
