Namo!

Getting ready for the next week of NS life now. The horrors of field camp are already over for me... And I did well to make it out alive, with no blisters, no cuts, no injuries, no sickness whatsoever. So I enjoyed my CNY.

Sit test is the next obstacle in my way. Honestly its no stress for me at all. I'm not aiming for OCS or SISPEC, cos if my career path allows it, I'll auto be an MO. If I don't make it I'm happy being an ordinary soldier. That'll help me focus more on YE worship, and I think that's what the Lord wants.

CNY was the usual. Mahjong, snacks, visitation and so on. Went for a couple of outings. Friday was with Kestrel Platoon 2, and we ate BK and watch CJ7, which wasn't too bad. Saturday was with SYC2. They came over to my house, then to Gerald's and lastly to Paul's for soccer watching, Poker, In Between and Blackjack playing. Today was with Faith Cell, playing Mahjong and eating spaghetti at HJ's and JS's house.

Back to field camp. Of course what we did there is classified information. But one thing I'll divulge is about the exhilaration you feel when you get to fire your weapon. I was super surprised that we'd get to fire blanks. And once we did, I got the hang of it instantly. Shiok sia! And my rifle seems to be very obedient. Not once did it ever jam on me, unlike everyone else's weapons. Happy.

The punishments weren't the hard part actually. It was the rain that kept our morale down, our bones shaking and our shelters and sleep uncomfortable. Only at that point of time would you feel as if you had met a Dementor from the HP series. Otherwise, it was an ok experience.

Well have a craving for unagi now. (Which I don't think I'll get back in camp) Other than that I'm looking forward to finishing of sit test and the 5th week of my BMT. Probably will be back only sat evening. See how. Till then!

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.
