Step Up

=( =( =(

Its been a boring weekend... No PSP, Facebook is down, anime website is down. So all I have is the pokemon gold in the office comp, guitar, my jap book and onemanga. Too little entertainment for the 32 hours of weekend that I'll be spending in camp.

Jap's going along really well. Have been learning lots of conversational stuff, as well as some characters of kanji. And it does help when you know how to read the difficult version of chinese. Still got a long way to go, cos next up comes Katakana, which I think is one step above in difficulty from Hiragana.

Well without facebook and anime, the main source of entertainment has been in reading Ouran High School Host Club manga. And I'm really surprised that the manga is really much deeper than it is made out to be. I'm really envious of the way the characters are able to tell each other's deepest thoughts and emotions just by observing each other. That is something I can't do.

Up till now I've always thought that friendship just meant wanting the best for your friend, just being there for him/her through it all. And I don't mind dying for anyone I know even. But that alone is inadequate, I've come to realise. I'd like to know someone else's deepest thoughts and emotions for once. All my life I've been passive when it comes to relationships, and I think its now my weakness. Time to step up. But is it too late? When people already see me as a taciturn, serious person, can they open up to me? I don't know but I'll try.

Being in camp during a weekend is really doing me quite a bit of harm. For some reason theres an aura of un-spiritualness (um dunno how to explain it) in the army, which I bring back during my long weekend. I've noticed it last week, but this week the feeling got stronger.

Well, some examples like forgetting to pray, not getting anything out of QT, distractions while worshipping, actions not being Christ like etc are starting to creep in. I don't understand why. I know that God wants us to be different from the rest, but why can't I do it, especially in camp? Confused...

My schedule will come in the next post. And in case you guys don't know, my next book out will be from 3rd Sep evening to 8th Sep evening. No one's asked me out yet. =( =( =( Time to start being active for once.

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! 

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
