Blister Plaster

Hobbling around the house right now. And yes thanks to two large blisters on my feet. Courtesy of 12km route march during the situational (sit) test. I honestly never ever get blisters, but this time some sand managed to get in my boots after the 4km mark. The friction = heat = blisters. =(

Well sit test was fine. Wasn't able to complete it to my fullest thanks to the blisters, problems with appetite, a minor ankle twist and slight after effects of 4km fast march exhaustion. After all that, and managing to survive, I'm just glad that I'm back home safe and sound now.

Have been going through the books of Deuteronomy and Joshua. And my eyes are now open to the importance of the book of Deuteronomy. Not only was it a book of law for the Israelites, its order gives all of us here now a rough idea how to live a godly life here on earth. And... Jesus quoted Deuteronomy the most out of all the OT books. I find that absolutely wonderful.

It reminded me that the life I live should be an act of worship. Even through the toughest times, knowing that I was a Christian warrior for the Lord was enough encouragement.

Besides that have been reading "Songs from Above" by Lamar Boschman. Essentially its a study of the book of Revelation, and how to link worship to the things seen in heaven. Still going through it... A bit cheem but I think I get it. It'll be hard to summarise though.

One last thing I've gone through is the book "23 mins in hell" which I got from Darren's cupboard over the CNY break. It really intrigued me, and reminded me that I still had a task to perform even though I'm still in the army, and the army has a rather "godless" atmosphere, which we as Christians must try to not fall into. Gotta break that atmosphere instead though its tough.

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...
