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.

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,...

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. De...
