Its funny how I suddenly see a lot of old acquaintances around OVL... It started last week when my observation post was suddenly changed, and I was paired with someone else. And the person I was paired with was Jon Goh, a nice senior from RJGE. He was quite happy that we'd won gold, he said it was enough.
Reminded me of my disappointment in the past and how I was so clueless about our achievements that I found it to be an unhappy experience. I was that immature last time hah. But now I understand, failure is never a sign of weakness. Something beautiful will spawn from every failure, and thats the bonus if you dare to fail.
The next person I met was Law Chun Fung, ex RI classmate! Surprise surprise. Have no idea why he was there but saw him at a distance and said hi. The last person was Wai Lun, my friend from BMT... He looked a little sad. I think I understand... He was in SISPEC but dropped out and now he's in the ATI. And he wanted to be an officer so bad. The world can let you down... I totally understand.
Anyways... Made new friends when my observation post was switched again. And I praise the Lord for that switch. My new friend's name is Zhi Hao, and he was really curious about the bible. I'm glad I could be a tool for God, to pique his interest in Christianity. Told him the general outline of the OT and how it linked to Jesus. Maybe more opportunities will present themselves?

Watching 3 different animes now... Well actually only 2. The last one, which is Avatar: The Last Airbender, doesn't count cos its made in USA. But what surprised me, was that a cartoon made in the US had a maturity that could parallel most anime series in Japan. Its drawing styles are obviously American, but the storyline, plot development have all the basic elements of a Japanese anime.
The second one is Full Metal Panic!, which I've sorta fallen in love with. Its a really good series IMO, a great mix of humour and action. Won't spoil the plot this time, cos its one of the animes I would seriously recommend. The relationship between the two main characters is pretty funny; just something to watch out for the series.
The last one is called Ai My Me! Strawberry Eggs. Funny name, I know. Its about a guy who just graduated from teaching academy and passionately wants to become a PE teacher... He moves into a neighbourhood where he hears a school has a vacancy. One problem: the school only accepts female teachers. To prove that male teachers are equally good, and can show care for the students as well, he disguises himself as a female with the help of his landlord, and becomes a teacher of the school. Funny series, a good contrast to the other 2 anime I'm watching.

Well, I haven't updated about my QT for sometime... I'm doing a study on the gospels, specifically their differences and their purposes. All the 4 seem the same, but there are minute differences that make them unique. Will record what I've learnt in the next post.
