Angry Crab

Its funny how I suddenly see a lot of old acquaintances around OVL... It started last week when my observation post was suddenly changed, and I was paired with someone else. And the person I was paired with was Jon Goh, a nice senior from RJGE. He was quite happy that we'd won gold, he said it was enough.

Reminded me of my disappointment in the past and how I was so clueless about our achievements that I found it to be an unhappy experience. I was that immature last time hah. But now I understand, failure is never a sign of weakness. Something beautiful will spawn from every failure, and thats the bonus if you dare to fail.

The next person I met was Law Chun Fung, ex RI classmate! Surprise surprise. Have no idea why he was there but saw him at a distance and said hi. The last person was Wai Lun, my friend from BMT... He looked a little sad. I think I understand... He was in SISPEC but dropped out and now he's in the ATI. And he wanted to be an officer so bad. The world can let you down... I totally understand.

Anyways... Made new friends when my observation post was switched again. And I praise the Lord for that switch. My new friend's name is Zhi Hao, and he was really curious about the bible. I'm glad I could be a tool for God, to pique his interest in Christianity. Told him the general outline of the OT and how it linked to Jesus. Maybe more opportunities will present themselves?

Watching 3 different animes now... Well actually only 2. The last one, which is Avatar: The Last Airbender, doesn't count cos its made in USA. But what surprised me, was that a cartoon made in the US had a maturity that could parallel most anime series in Japan. Its drawing styles are obviously American, but the storyline, plot development have all the basic elements of a Japanese anime.

The second one is Full Metal Panic!, which I've sorta fallen in love with. Its a really good series IMO, a great mix of humour and action. Won't spoil the plot this time, cos its one of the animes I would seriously recommend. The relationship between the two main characters is pretty funny; just something to watch out for the series.

The last one is called Ai My Me! Strawberry Eggs. Funny name, I know. Its about a guy who just graduated from teaching academy and passionately wants to become a PE teacher... He moves into a neighbourhood where he hears a school has a vacancy. One problem: the school only accepts female teachers. To prove that male teachers are equally good, and can show care for the students as well, he disguises himself as a female with the help of his landlord, and becomes a teacher of the school. Funny series, a good contrast to the other 2 anime I'm watching.

Well, I haven't updated about my QT for sometime... I'm doing a study on the gospels, specifically their differences and their purposes. All the 4 seem the same, but there are minute differences that make them unique. Will record what I've learnt in the next post.

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.
