Rurouni

Its quite a different experience spending a Good Friday and Easter Sunday in camp. Spent a bit of Easter sitting in the manning room with Weiliang listening to Christian songs, reflecting about all the good things that have happened. Knowing that no matter how big my sin is, Christ still triumphs over all of it overwhelmingly. Even though I was "not worth it" or so to say, He died for me. Thats more than enough for me. Everything else pales in comparison.

Thank You for the cross, Lord
Thank You for the price You paid.
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace.

I suppose the reason that God chose for me to spend this important occasion in camp was not only to make it fresh, but also give me sometime alone with Him, in silence.

Todays the first time in a long time I manned the office overnight... Couldn't sleep much, but with His presence so strong I couldn't help but indulge in a time of lengthy prayer.

Well besides that, completed Rurouni Kenshin manga, and realised that the anime totally did not do justice to the manga. Especially since the anime never even touched on Kenshin's final answer to how he would atone for his sins for killing so many people, and never even showed the future of all the characters. I would say the anime is incomplete, and has way too many fillers. (The whole story plot after the Shishio Makoto arc isn't in the manga)


Some of the anime's host of lovable characters. =)

But despite all that written above, Rurouni Kenshin is still one of the top anime on my list to watch. Anime newbs, please go ahead and watch it, you won't regret it.

Besides these 2 things other things I did over the weekend include watching Marley and Me (which reminded me of Gerald), and You Me and Dupree. Thanks to Ethan who got the player from his sis. Played a bit of D&D and Monopoly to round it off.

3 days to book out! Route march to end it all off on wednesday. Can't wait.

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.
