Overture

Woohoo... Sometimes I really think I'm blind. So many good things have been happening yet I've only seen the crushing pain the medicine course blues have given me.

Event #1

Originally: Supposed to be in 10/07 platoon, with a majority of PES C, PES BP people. When I first sat in my bunk in the accomodations block I immediately felt out of place cos I was the only skinny guy there. No offense though, I'm very very skinny.

Then... Was shifted to 11/07 platoon, which needed PES A and B people. Met lots of great friends, and people around my size at least. Felt more at home there.

Event #2

Originally: Performed badly for an exercise, and was told by the course commander there would be a repeat exercise on either a weekend or a public holiday. Morale down. =(

Then... There was no time to conduct an extra exercise due to the guard duties allocated to my course sergeant and others in my platoon. So no weekend/holiday burnt.

Event #3

Originally: Was supposed to have guard duty last wednesday and would last into the morning of labour day. Felt sian...

Then... There was an excess of guards for the day! Got to book out on wednesday night instead of doing guard duty. Was picked randomly by course sergeant to drop out of guard duty for the day.

Event #4

Originally: Was supposed to go to Taiwan for 3 weeks, would've missed dad's birthday, and holy spirit weekend. Not to mention all the important events around that time.

Then... The trip was surprisingly cancelled due to difficulties in planning. Surprise!

Event #5

Originally: Was slated to go to 1SIR after the completion of my signal course. Supposedly it is a place with a lot of chiongsua and a lot of physical and mental training.

Then... Got my posting order yesterday... The 1SIR thing had fallen through, and instead I was posted to 8SIG (8th Signal Battalion) a supposedly much slackier place and also near to my house. Out of the other people in my platoon, I got the best posting a person in my situation could have.

Feeling extremely encouraged now. Perhaps more good things are on the way?

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.
