Miracle Maker

Aite so its gonna be over in about 4 days. I think its tough going off. Although we don't really like the monotony of the life in tekong, or the tekan sessions, or even the time taken to travel there I guess we'll all miss the place a bit, yeah?

Was on the train with Wai Lun and Yan Han, two of my section buddies. I could feel the sadness in the air. Not just A level sadness (for them), but also some of the leaving our friends behind kind of sadness.

Well the trip to the Singapore Discovery Centre was, in short, a waste. I enjoyed it, yes. But I felt it was pointless. Felt that I could've done something better within that time frame. Oh well, nothing I can do about that now.

Army Highlights

1. 24km route march

Had it in good weather, unlike the school 2 people. The first 12km was more challenging because of the uneven, rocky terrain, as well as the heat of the day. It was the night march (2nd 24km) that I enjoyed much more. More songs being sung, some encouragement going around here and there. In between there were snacks like bananas, H2O and cakes given to us, which were great morale boosters. Once again, no injuries.

2. OC night and Recruit's night

Got a chance to perform the guitar during both nights. We played the song Aloysius composed. I'm glad I had the chance to perform on stage. I guess not many other people can say that they've ever performed on a stage in Pulau Tekong. We won OC's night, but probably got 4th or 5th out of 7 on Recruits night. Doesn't matter though, cos we all had a good time.

3. Parade Rehearsals

The boring part of it all. Waking up early in the morning, getting dressed in parade attire, marching all the way to the parade square in port arms, and repeating the same procedure over and over again doesn't do good for your brain. Enough said.

Well collection of As. Booked out at 1145am, reached pasir ris bus stop at 1335 due to a lack of transport. However, made it on time for the getting of results at 1435. Was the last guy in the queue cos I arrived late. By the time I reached Mr Wong I was a bit afraid, yet confident of how I did.

Before Mr Wong started talking I took a peek at the results... And was extremely glad with what I saw. And I thank God that everything went well. My act of worship was a success. I commited myself to aceing As, as well as passing NAPFA last year, and to do it successfully tells me two things. Firstly, my dreams are aligned with the will of God. Secondly, I truly am very blessed my a God who loves me deeply.

Ok a personal request from me: Everytime you see Daryl tell him to study hard/smart ok?

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! 

Vox Humana

497th post. Its been a rather pleasant weekend, filled with Gihon and worship stuff. Really enjoyed myself baking with Gihon. Wished we could've taken a vid of everyone for Youth Day... Probably will have to meet them one day to film them haha. Probably will organise a homework doing session for them to complete everything before the hols end. Well Father's Day celebrations today went quite well... Only had a couple of hours to practise for the hoedown, and practise for the worship went comparatively better than the prac during camp. It was my first time playing piano/organ/keys/trumpets/vox for worship, and I'm glad it went ok, and I did it with God. Driving test is on friday... Not too worried about it, and also have no prob with failing it actually. Taking it easy, but hoping for good news. I guess its the peace that transcends all understanding thats taking over. And the most important thing for me for this test is not whether I pass or fail, but whether God was with me
