did i ever mention before? the tekong night sky is simply fabulous.
i remember standing alone on the radar platform, highest point for a small radius around. with the gentle breeze slowly caressing my face, and the distant lights of ships minding about their own business in the distance. as if by divine calling, i looked up.
i was awed.
using my meager astronomical knowledge, i attempted feebly to convince myself that i found the location of the orion belt. i always find it quite fascinating that how i few random stars in the sky are linked together to form a constellation.
yet, my mind didn't register much though for that few minutes. in those myriad of stars blinking in and out, it brought a great calm to my mind. the world's responsibilities and problems were non-existent. i guess i only closed my mouth when a mosquito threatened to have a fly-by down my throat.
that will probably be the most aesthetically fulfilling moment of my army life, yet even the best things in the world are meant to be shared.
i had 2 questions dancing in my mind as i descended back to the resting area.
1) When would i be able to witness to such a spectacle? Especially other than the cursed island.
2) Who would be with me then?
