26th May 2012 @ 4PM
Doing sentry duty on Saturday sure sucks. I have to watch guard from 0400-2359. Being stranded in some part of the forest in a small guardhouse and just your buddy seems a sad way to spend your weekend. It does feel like I'm in the Hunger games where me and my buddy takes turn to keep watch and sleep. Of course there isn't any real danger of being hunted down or starving.
However, being here in the forest admiring nature isn't such a bad thing afterall. I'm witnessing some cool sounds such as the birds singing a catchy melody. If I had a guitar I would try to tab it out heh. I'm reminded of what I had read from Matt Redman's 'Facedown'. Something along the lines of creation also worshipping and making music to do so to praise its creator. Hm I shall re read the book.
Night hasn't fallen yet and it's sure going to be scary as there won't be any lights. If I'm fortuantem this means I can get to see some awesome starscape and fireflies heh.

Turns out there weren't any fireflies and it wasn't as dark as I thought it would be. Wasn't pitch black. Singapore really has high levels of light pollution. Still, the sight of the starscape is simply amazing. A glimpse of eternity.
