Where The Cold Wind Blows

I'm back! And surprisingly I'm not looking too bad with short hair. Instead my body's looking much better with all the training. Ok so I shall run through certain things about ns that are not classified pieces of information.

Trainings

Physical, but not overtiring. Certain ones are fun, others are tough, and the rest are knowledge that soldiers need to know. The difficult part is not getting saboed or kena pumping.

Friends

Got a total of 5 RJ guys not including me in my platoon. Michael Yeung, Andrew Teh, Lai Jishun, Low Jian Liang and Jon Seetoh.

Mam's nearby... In my company too! Get to see him quite often. But not that often.

My section people are pretty easy going people, nice to be with, not too overbearing, and not too aloof at the same time. Just nice IMO. Lots of different personalities, but all click together to form a pretty good unit.

Wai Lun ~ Cool, calm, collected
Chris Cheong ~ Fellow musically inclined guy
Arjun ~ Funny nice guy
Yan Han ~ Takes initiative, nice IC =)
Haziq ~ Funny sial! Fellow guitarist.
Justin ~ Jovial, caring guy
Ivan ~ Poor guy always kena punished, but super funny crude guy
Jin Yan ~ Skinny nice guy with an English accent
York Yeong ~ OOT guy, friendly.
Han Mun ~ Tall, slow guy. Nice to make fun of.
Andrew ~ Buddy! Fellow RJ guy. Sturdy and encouraging.

Duties

Well of all duties to get I kena Rubbish IC. Which means every single time the rubbish bin outside the bunks are higher than half I gotta take them, go all the way to the cookhouse and throw in the smelly dumpster. Good think I don't hate the stink.

My Walk

Still doing the bible study material. Currently at Leviticus, which teaches us the various important aspects of worship.

5 important aspects can be observed from the 5 kinds of sacrifice offered!

Burnt Offering ~ Surrender of Christ for the world.
Grain Offering ~ Service of Christ in life
Fellowship Offering ~ Serenity of Christ in life
Sin Offering ~ Substitute of Christ for sin
Guilt Offering ~ Satisfaction bt Christ for demands of God

Kinda miss wearing my cross, but nevertheless, God has been good to me. Reading the Christian help text Gerald gave me and the QT sessions in the morning really helped. All over I see God's work in these first 2 weeks in NS.

Provision of a good buddy, provision of a great time of bonding with my section, provision of lenient and supportive sergeants, provision of satisfactory food, provision of healing aches, provision of a new car for my dad to drive me home just nice, provision of those nice messages from people that ended off my days on high notes.

Thank you God.

Well thats all for now. The next time you'll hear from me is CNY. That means you will see me in YE this week, but not next week. Have fun guys!

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.
