Ripening Fruit

Finally, we are in the thick of youth month... As I see the hustle and bustle around me I'm reminded of PoP last year, and this year expectations are running high with SoS... Quite excited to see what will come out of it. If anything, its a big testament of God's faithfulness!

So far I've been focusing more on the leader's training syllabus, and my heart goes out to all the older ones in YE... When I was in YE at the age of 17+ I already found myself not learning much from the weekly sessions, because many of those things were information that I heard before that, and served merely as reminders. I only was able to grow spiritually as a result of putting God and others before myself, and that I learnt through leadership! It's quite fantastic how my spiritual journey improved by leaps and bounds because I was able to forsake my own selfish desires and have that loving relationship with God my heavenly father, and being in favor with man... And I really hope that as many of them find this path as well!

So, some updates on my leisure time activities... For one, I've started being interested in gaming videos, and on youtube I found a channel called Smosh Games that piqued my interest. Most of all I enjoy viewing review + game play videos for some reason I still don't really understand hmmm... Besides that, I've reached the sixth page of Heroic, which is immensely difficult with its left hand repetitions. My left hand hurts even from less than five minutes of metronome practice... I've finished all faction quests for Oblivion, and now focusing on city based quests. Lastly, the latest anime I've watched is Shinigami no Ballad, and I give it a big thumbs up for something different from much of the anime out there. It's only 6 episodes, so its suitable for light viewing.

In my walk with God I find myself in a place of deepening humility, realizing that it is God in control of everything, and I'm merely following along, saying "Here I am, send me..." I also am opening up to the fact that God does not NEED me but He WANTS me to serve with Him. That is immensely humbling, and a new ethos in life that I've come to cherish very much.

My relationship with Van will soon reach 2 years, and what a bountiful and blissful 2 years it has been! Its quite a blessing that when I'm busy with my school work she has the space to support me, and now I'm doing it for her whilst she is busy. God really does put things together with such efficacy... I'm very much enjoying the journey of life that I'm sharing with her, and because of this journey I feel I have matured much and my spiritual life deepened in understanding.

Its been awhile since I've posted, and I've allowed quite a few of my thoughts to amalgamate and ripen, so this post may seem more mellow in a way hmm... Well we'll see what the following weeks bring until the next post! =)

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 ...

Gamble

It's been quite some time since the last post, and time has just been ticking on. I'm entering a new phase in my career in a new office at Queenstown. Things are good on the work front, as I've been given a vote of confidence and responsibilities despite my young age. Eventually I'll be getting re-designated as a Team Leader, and looking forward to it! It's a sign that I am well versed enough in the work. Another part of my life that has been looking up - playing keys/bass for the newly created Saturday Service for church. I feel that spiritually things are well despite the turmoil of last year. A great sense of fulfillment and meaning whenever I do that, as if I'm back to my roots. In terms of leisure the usual things:  1. Soccer - Late night matches (back to the good old days) 2. PS4 - Trying to finish off Tales of Berseria, moving on to Assassins Creed: Origin thereafter 3. Anime - Still watching the good old stuff that is still going on (One Piece, Yu-Gi-Oh,...

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. De...
