Blank Card

Thank God the exercise well. It wasn't perfect, but it showed the new OC our abilities and our hard work put into our training. I think I did rather well, handling the pressure and I was able to troubleshoot most of the problems happening in the comps and the server. A big thanks goes to my duty team for helping out and everyone supporting each other.

I'm pretty stoked cos in a months time I'll be a soldier with one year of ns left, and everything is going pretty smoothly. In the past I wanted a posting without weekends burnt so badly, but one thing that God reminds me over and over again is the fact that everything happens for a reason.

Thinking back I was a fool to think that everything would happen as I wanted it if I asked God sincerely. Now I know better. And now I'm a much more mature person. Once again, I've changed for the better.

I thought that nothing good would come out of ns, and it was just a transition period into my next portion of life. But, once again, I am wrong. It has helped me treasure my friends, after missing all of them for long periods at once. It has helped me become content with what I have, making me much more optimistic. It has made me more strong willed, resilient and it has given me a better understanding of the world around me. Most importantly, it has taught me to persevere, like a good Christian soldier going into battle.

There are more ways I can become a better person in time, and I'm looking forward to the future. =)

Ok so my old hobby is coming back to me: jigsaw puzzle making. Right now I'm starting on a 1000 piece one with a lot of cats on it. Hopefully I'll be done over 2 book outs, and it'll be beautifully framed after that.

Besides that, chapter 1 of my story is finally complete, my study of katakana is also complete, and my brief study of the bible is almost complete, as I'm currently at Titus and just a few books away from Revelations. But as always, I'm rueing the fact that my memory of verses don't last for even 2 days. Gotta put in more effort.

Yup this week will be my ops manning week. Which is a dangerous week to go out, which explains all the unconfirmed plans and inability to commit fully to anything. Ops manning = need to report to camp at a moments notice just to take attendance.

So if I'm going out, I'll have my camp pass, army handphone with me and I'll be in my jeans, shoes, and would rather not do any physical activity or attend movies, plays or performances. Things I'd rather be doing would be pool, lan, breakfast, lunch, dinner or just hanging out at a food outlet/someone's house. (Preferably in the west)

Genus 2005

Genus Concert went just fine... NUS Guitar Ensemble is really proded! I want to be like that! Lets see... The guitars I want to master are Acoustic, Bass and Classical! Yeah. Actually this year's Genus concert was a bit interesting. They played a Japanese song and some jazz, but most pieces were classical. The Alto runs were really fast. I could tell that the Guitaron player was good too... Saw Josh there! He was there with his HCJCGE Friends. He was sitting in the row in front of mine. Slept on the bus today and missed the loop. Haha. Well. Had to alight, cross the street and take the bus again. And theres this ulcer right in the middle of my middle lip. It hurts whenever I eat something. But I need my food... Ow. I think the heatiness I get from sleeping less hours caused the ulcer. Looking forward to I-Learning. Can sleep more. Haha. Champions League was crazy. I woke up and went to school to hear the results. ManU Lost 2-0 on aggregate to Ac Milan. Barcelona lost to Chelsea 4-5...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge.

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.
