Quest For The Secret Ramen!

Next post is post 300!

Family

Went to watch Harry Potter on friday with my parents at Jurong Point. The movie was fine... If I didn't read the book before I think I would have been less excited about the movie. One major problem was that the final action sequences didn't do justice to the book. There was a lot more happening, and the final action sequence only lasted 15 mins. That part was disappointing.
Well, can't wait for the last book! Those who want to borrow from me (yes, I've pre-ordered), please let me know.

So far the borrowing list is as such:

My mom went off to Batam the day after the movie (yesterday morning), leaving the rest of us guys at home. Dad did most of the housework such as washing cups, folding clothes etc. He is quite the perfectionist haha. And of course, we ate out. Just one day in and I'm kinda missing the home cooked food.

Instead we had KFC in the afternoon, and Ajisen in the evening. Good, filling meals, but nothing compared to eating at home IMO. Wasn't allowed to share anything with Daryl, since he was sick. Wonder if he'll be ok today.

S03H

Civics was something I found pretty interesting... Emotional Intelligence. Mr Wong talked about "the emotion reflex arc", in which in certain situations, you tend to pre-judge people, and once a stimulus occurs, you will instantly react to what another person does to you. The whole reflex arc will occur in just 7 secs! And the key to good relationships is to control this reflex arc.

Over the years, I realise that I've controlled certain emotions well, but other emotions have been left neglected. In my younger days, it was greed, self-centeredness. In primary school it was sadness and grief. In secondary school it was anger. Without realising it had something to do with the reflex arc, I managed to suppress certain emotions.

But I realise I still have some emotions to work on. Hatred for example. Pride and loneliness are others that I need to keep in check. I will work on these, and be a better person!

The S03H guys went for a quest for the super secret ramen on Wednesday (which was quite a failure heh) and then for another quest for the imba gosu ramen on Friday (which was a resounding success). After failing the first time with a team of 4, we made a team of 5 and went for it the second time.

For more info, check out Leonard's blog http://www.genesis-sg.blogspot.com/, under the post [Quest for the Holy Ramen 3].

Some pics from the quest!

Woot I just got a membership card from my dad! So the next time we go we can nullify the service charge. Anytime you guys go on a ramen quest, let me know!

Digimon

 I'm feeling quite nostalgic and have been thinking about my childhood a lot recently. A lot of it is because of the retreat I just had with my CG members and how having such a retreat reminded me of days that were more slower paced and more relaxed.  It makes me want to relive some of my memories. Two ways that I've thought about is soccer - I've been watching some of the World Cup matches, and it reminds me of the late nights I had watching matches when I was 15 or so and just starting this blog. About how soccermugger came to be in the first place and how I wanted this platform to post about soccer scores and how I felt about the matches I watched. The other way is to watch old anime, and I'm thinking about revisiting the first ever anime I watched which was Digimon. It was televised in Mandarin at 8am, and I remember waking up early on the weekends to watch it fervently. Maybe its time to do that again.  In general I guess my inclinations are to be more at ease and

Vanguard

It’s taken a long time, but I think my heart is finally at peace. It’s been a tough journey but I am glad to say the worst of it is over. At the moment am surrounded by those who matter to me and I am doing meaningful things. Truly thankful that God has returned me to such a state.  In this season of Good Friday and Easter the word Vanguard comes to mind. Maybe it’s that season of life where God is exactly that for me, where we will be together in uncharted battlegrounds in both personal and professional life.  Not too sure when my next post will be but hope the next will be better than the last. Until next time!

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
