Where The Cold Wind Blows

I'm back! And surprisingly I'm not looking too bad with short hair. Instead my body's looking much better with all the training. Ok so I shall run through certain things about ns that are not classified pieces of information.

Trainings

Physical, but not overtiring. Certain ones are fun, others are tough, and the rest are knowledge that soldiers need to know. The difficult part is not getting saboed or kena pumping.

Friends

Got a total of 5 RJ guys not including me in my platoon. Michael Yeung, Andrew Teh, Lai Jishun, Low Jian Liang and Jon Seetoh.

Mam's nearby... In my company too! Get to see him quite often. But not that often.

My section people are pretty easy going people, nice to be with, not too overbearing, and not too aloof at the same time. Just nice IMO. Lots of different personalities, but all click together to form a pretty good unit.

Wai Lun ~ Cool, calm, collected
Chris Cheong ~ Fellow musically inclined guy
Arjun ~ Funny nice guy
Yan Han ~ Takes initiative, nice IC =)
Haziq ~ Funny sial! Fellow guitarist.
Justin ~ Jovial, caring guy
Ivan ~ Poor guy always kena punished, but super funny crude guy
Jin Yan ~ Skinny nice guy with an English accent
York Yeong ~ OOT guy, friendly.
Han Mun ~ Tall, slow guy. Nice to make fun of.
Andrew ~ Buddy! Fellow RJ guy. Sturdy and encouraging.

Duties

Well of all duties to get I kena Rubbish IC. Which means every single time the rubbish bin outside the bunks are higher than half I gotta take them, go all the way to the cookhouse and throw in the smelly dumpster. Good think I don't hate the stink.

My Walk

Still doing the bible study material. Currently at Leviticus, which teaches us the various important aspects of worship.

5 important aspects can be observed from the 5 kinds of sacrifice offered!

Burnt Offering ~ Surrender of Christ for the world.
Grain Offering ~ Service of Christ in life
Fellowship Offering ~ Serenity of Christ in life
Sin Offering ~ Substitute of Christ for sin
Guilt Offering ~ Satisfaction bt Christ for demands of God

Kinda miss wearing my cross, but nevertheless, God has been good to me. Reading the Christian help text Gerald gave me and the QT sessions in the morning really helped. All over I see God's work in these first 2 weeks in NS.

Provision of a good buddy, provision of a great time of bonding with my section, provision of lenient and supportive sergeants, provision of satisfactory food, provision of healing aches, provision of a new car for my dad to drive me home just nice, provision of those nice messages from people that ended off my days on high notes.

Thank you God.

Well thats all for now. The next time you'll hear from me is CNY. That means you will see me in YE this week, but not next week. Have fun guys!

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!
