Barriers~

Everyday we either create barriers, run into barriers, or erect barriers, In all aspects of our lives. Be it physical, emotional, personal, psycological, or spiritual barriers. Be it the gate of a building, a door slammed shut in our face, the stamina we have which restricts the distance we can run, the difficulty to convey a simple msg to a a certain someone, to think the way we should think, or to have that perfect relationship with GOD. We are facing barriers constantly. Constantly we are fighting the barriers, if there is one, with the strength that we can muster. Sometimes we overcome, sometimes we don't. Sometimes..... Somewhere in Jurong Camp, 3 DSMB S1 branch, someone is fighting to break down the barrier between officers and his men. That psycological barrier which keeps the men from interacting too much with the officer. The psycological barrier which keeps the officer from interacting with his men. That someone, is on the verge of breaking the barrier which seperates each other from each side of his own wall. On the other hand, a barrier is emerging elsewhere. Somewhere in Ayer Rajah Camp. The same someone is fighting the strong emergence of a barrier where once everyone were roaming freely on the plains, interacting with one another. The barrier is getting stronger. The someone is losing the fight. His strength is not sufficient. He is now seperated from the rest by a wall. A wall that can only be broken from both sides......

This week is one fast paced week with me sleeping at like average of 12am...(that is very late in my terms) Cos of the packing and the busy schedule that i have this week. So happy that i met with Seng and Uncle Hong yesterday, although it was our 2nd meeting in 3 weeks, we had alot to talk abt. Something Ah Seng said struck me yesterday, about "hi-bye" friends. I did a little self reflection yesterday and realised that i have quite a lot of "hi-bye" friends. Maybe because i have erected a barrier around my self unconciously, unknowingly........maybe... Then today leh, got sonic fest:) Heard planetshakers live first hand. The music and worship was awesome. Will be going down tomolo and sat again to catch their worship. Meanwhile, still busy shifting house and this weekend will be the milestone weekends as i will actually be staying in my new house from this weekend onwards!! So excited abt it:)

By the blink of an eye, its Aug. Its been 4 months since i've commissioned as an officer. One and a half more week before my S1 comes back from maternity leave. It means time to step down, and take responsibilities of a normal 2LT. NO more stand in S1. The experience was definitely fun and enriching. However since now my S1 will be coming back....means more arrows will be shooting. I did the shooting when she was not arnd. Now, i'll be one of her targets.
