Bye Roo!

Well after the initial adrenaline rush of excitement about going into army soon its now reached a period of calm just before the storm. Just feeling oddly emotionless about my impending entry into national service.

Trying to complete a couple of trivial things such as Persona and watching the last 20 episodes of the yugioh series. But doesn't seem like I'll have enough time.

Thanks goes out to all those who've been praying for me. My church, my YE friends, my Christian friends. And to those who've been by my side and encouraged me. I'll honestly miss all you guys. And I'm sure you'll miss me too. My facebook fluffpet Roo already misses me. How sweet of her.

Thank you too Lord for the journey ahead. I shall discover new ways of unveiling your glory and letting it shine. I know nothing that comes in my way is too difficult.

Before I go... Heres one final snippet of bible knowledge I'd like to share in conjunction with what we've learnt in the youth leader training session yesterday. Its a poem on the contents of the bible from the qt material I'm using. Here goes...

In Genesis the world was made,
In Exodus the march was told;
Leviticus contains the law,
In Numbers the tribes enrolled;
In Deuteronomy again
We're urged to keep God's law alone
And these five books of Moses make
The oldest writings ever known.
Brave Joshua to Canaan leads,
In Judges oft the Jews rebel;
We read of David's name in Ruth,
And first and second Samuel;
In first and second Kings we read
How bad the Hebrew state became;
In first and second Chronicles,
Another history of the same.
In Ezra captive Jews return,
While Nehemiah builds the wall;
Queen Esther saves her race from death.
These books "Historical" we call.
In Job we read of patient faith,
In Psalms are David's songs of praise;
The Proverbs are to make us wise;
Ecclesiastes next portrays
How vain fleeting earthly pleasures are;
The Song of Solomon is all
About the love of God, and these
Five books "Poetical" we call.
Isaiah tells of Christ to come,
While Jeremiah tells of woe,
And in his Lamentations mourms
The Holy City's overthrow.
Ezekiel speaks of mysteries,
While Daniel foretells kings of old;
Hosea calls men to repent;
In Joel judgement is foretold.
Amos tells of wrath, and Edom
Obadiah is sent to warn,
While Jonah shows how Christ should rise,
And Micah where He should be born;
In Nahum Nineveh is seen,
In Habakkuk, Chaldea's guilt;
In Zephaniah, Judah's sins,
Haggai, the temples's built.
Zechariah tells of Christ,
And Malachi of John, his signs.
The prophets number seventeen,
And all the books are thirty-nine.

Ok thats all for now. I'll post the one about the NT when I come back. So look forward to it!

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 ...

Bakemonogatari

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!
