B or O?

Somethings been bothering me... But its pretty trivial hahaha.

Is my blood type B, or O? Since young my blood type's been registered as B, since both my parents are B, but recently I've come to realise that maybe its not that straightforward... After all, after my pre ns check, the blood type on my 11B has come to be registered as O+. I thought that was a typo, but didn't say anything. Recently I went to donate blood, and a letter came back to me, telling me my blood type is O as well. Eh??? It took me 19 years to discover my true blood type?

So what is my blood type? Really curious about it. Maybe I'll go for a check or something.

This incident has led me to do some research on blood type personalities, as skeptical I was about it. Here is what I found.

O type person is characterized by three key words: assertiveness, companionship, and concentration.

B type person is characterized by three key words: flexibility, independence, and absorption in his interest.

And so... It doesn't make sense, which is what I expected. So much for blood type analysis.

Anyways, I'm now going into the 3rd week of my driving course, which includes a short 1.5 day break thanks to christmas. Having passed my public road assessment, I'm now certified to drive class 4 vehicles, and on tuesday I'll be starting on reverse parking for the 3 tonner, and driving on public roads with 3 tonner on saturday. Pray for safety... And by the end of the week I'll be a super pro driver, whee! Class 3 vehicles will be no kick at all.

Getting to know my course mates a lot better... Talking to the malays are pretty fun, cos you'll never know what funny things come out of it. Some of them smoke, yes, but they're learning not to do it in front of me. One thing good about ns (and especially being just a man) is you get to see so many kinds of people, something that you won't get if you're in ocs (cos they'll all be high flyers like you) or if you're a normal civilian.

One thing that I've been getting from my course mates is that I'm nothing like a person from RJC, and I think thats a compliment in more ways than an insult in this case.

The sad thing about this week was that one of my bunk mates went AWOL, which is such a waste. When I compare my ORD date with most of the dudes in the course, they've still got a long way to go (only 3 months into ns). Extending your ORD date just seems really really sad.

1 more month of course left! Yahoo! The past two weeks have been fast, yes?

I've successfully memorised 4 verses, namely Matt 28:19-20, Ps 118:8, Ps 20:7 and Heb 4:12.

Kinda like the one from Hebrews.

"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Heb 4:12

Reminds me that God's word is sovereign over all. Having the bible in camp with me everyday tells me I have the most powerful guide in the entire world, a guide that is living and active.

I'll be back come wednesday afternoon! Don't miss me lol.

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

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. 

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!
