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?

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,...
