Hungry

Its starting to get very very monotonous. School that is. The same thing week in, week out really gets to you yeah? As my last post, I got quite a couple of things to say before I go on hiatus.

Announcement

RIGE concert!
31st Aug 2007
7:30pm
New RI Auditorium

I doubt I'll be going, but those who're interested may fancy a chance to get entertained and relieve some stress. If enough guitar people commit themselves to going I may succumb to peer pressure and go along too. Ah I miss guitar peoples. The only people I see regularly are Chin Heng, Jon Chua and Shu Hui. Where are the rest of you guys? Hope your mugging's going well.

The YE teaching by Shirley made me think of a nice song. Hungry by Kathyrn Scott. If you want the song you can let me know. Here are the lyrics.

Hungry

Verse 1

Hungry, I come to You for I know You satisfy
I am empty but I know Your love does not run dry
So I wait for You
So I wait for You

Verse 2

Broken, I run to You for Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know Your touch restores my life
So I wait for You
So I wait for You

Chorus

I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus You're all this heart is living for

Kinda sums up everything about beatitudes we've learnt so far doesn't it?

S03H

Feeling sad, yet happy about this... Longing for school to end because of the monotony, yet dreading the end because it marks the end of a healthy social life, the last couple of days to talk to my friends. And most importantly, the last few occasions I can let God touch some of them will occur during this week. Time to use the time wisely! S03H I'll miss you guys. Be sure to plan mugging sessions or stress relieving sessions!

Reflections

A page in life is starting to turn once again. It has been two years since the last page flip. And it'll be a couple of months until the next turning.

This hiatus is more than just rest from blogging, for me it is a symbol of commitment, a milestone I'll use to propel myself to stronger spiritual and mental heights. But I'm aware that stopping for awhile may cause some people to lose a form of spiritual encouragement. Forgive me, for I wish to now grow stronger in Christ myself for now. Rest assured I will be back.

From today onwards, I shall not only study, but use the time to commit myself to God in prayer, in studying his word, and concentrating on His faithfulness with an undying intensity in comparison with what I am doing now. That, I believe, is much more important than studying.

This is my final prayer for now... For myself, for all those taking their As and Os.

Dear Lord, the hearts of me and my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ cry out to You. Give us Your wisdom and strength. We believe we can excel and propel ourselves to greater heights with the strength You give us!

Teach us Lord to have faith, to learn how to seek You even when we're busy. You are the wonderful God who knows what we think, You know the desires of our heart. Fufill them! Use them, so we may be vessels for You. Give us utter confidence in what we believe is your will.

In the near future You will give us our callings and send us to wherever you want us to be. Through this examination, may Your will be revealed, so that we may work towards the goal You have in mind. To the glory of Your name!

Amen.

With the strength of God, and the sword in my hand, I will overcome all obstacles! I will cut them down, and reach the finishing line that God himself has given me. And when that happens, I will praise the Lord, for He has been good, and will be evermore.

Hiatus begins.

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

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 ...

Hiya everyone! Just signed my permanent staff contract today and I must say that was a real moment of satisfaction. Shows that the 2 years of hard work and dedication to what I do has paid off in a big way and I'm happy with my work. When I started my job I had no idea it would be this fulfilling and enjoyable and I am so blessed to have it. Couple of exciting things are happening: for one a holiday with my family to Korea. Other stuff include pay raises and the bonus that goes with it, Euro 2016 etc. I finally watched a match on Saturday (it was boring) but Sunday night's matches were great. Tonight not too sure if I'll watch any but it's shaping up to be an exciting tournament. Well that's all for now, more updates after the next series!
