Thank You For Saving Me

At the stroke of midnight on Good Friday I was listening to this song by Delirious, and I really thought it was appropriate for the occasion. Its a beautiful song IMO. Out of all the songs I heard on Good Friday, I think this one speaks to my soul the most.

Thank You For Saving Me ~ Delirious?

Thank You for saving me
What can I say?
You are my everything
I will sing your praise
You shed Your blood for me
What can I say?
You took my sin and shame
A sinner called by name

Great is the Lord
Great is the Lord
For we know Your truth has set us free
You've set Your hope in me
Mercy and grace are mine
Forgiven is my sin
Jesus my only hope
The Saviour of the world

"Great is the Lord" we cry!
God let your kingdom come
Your world has let me see
Thank you for saving me

Went down to RJ, and boy has it changed a lot. Theres a climbing facility behind the red track which looks really exciting. The staff room has been extended, and there are more security posts. The ground floor area outside LT2 now has various hanging exhibits. Cool.

Finally got the chance to take some photographs at the board game outing as well as the Surprise! birthday bash for Rach. Ok shall post them up.


Shu, Mel and Ernest.


Paul. Oops didn't take any photos of Amanda.



Pig stacking?


"I don't wanna live any more lol?" Persona style.

Here I am asking people to say something.

Ok my posting is: Signals Infocomm2

Which means that I'll be carrying around a heavy signal set and going around sending signals. Yup. But even so, the training isn't so harsh, at least according to the information given by others in the sgforums.

Perks include: No IPPT, No SOC. Nights Out every wednesday. Wake up at 7:45. Day ends at 5:30 so OTOT training from 6pm onwards. Get to learn new stuff. Near my house! (Bonus bonus bonus point)

Downsides include: Route march with signal set on back. Mugging 11 courses in 6 weeks. Have to sit for tests. (Oh man even here in the army?) Must stay in on weekdays.

I'm satisfied.

Well my section mates. 2 of them went to OCS. 1 to Recee, 2 to Drivers and the rest to SISPEC. Wondering whether I'd make it to any command school if I hadn't expressed no.

But I don't regret it. To put it bluntly: I'd rather learn leadership serving in a ministry than in an organisation so devoid of God. They say you'll get perks after OCS or SISPEC. But you know what? I seriously don't care. The moment I chose God I chose to forsake all wordly things. The pay, knowledge, privilege, authority doesn't mean a thing to me.

There you have it. Honestly I'm a bit sick of people asking me why I refused OCS and SISPEC.

I'm a left brainer. But just now you just saw a bit of my right brain. I should use it more, to become a whole brainer, yes? Gah.

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.
