B or O?

Somethings been bothering me... But its pretty trivial hahaha.

Is my blood type B, or O? Since young my blood type's been registered as B, since both my parents are B, but recently I've come to realise that maybe its not that straightforward... After all, after my pre ns check, the blood type on my 11B has come to be registered as O+. I thought that was a typo, but didn't say anything. Recently I went to donate blood, and a letter came back to me, telling me my blood type is O as well. Eh??? It took me 19 years to discover my true blood type?

So what is my blood type? Really curious about it. Maybe I'll go for a check or something.

This incident has led me to do some research on blood type personalities, as skeptical I was about it. Here is what I found.

O type person is characterized by three key words: assertiveness, companionship, and concentration.

B type person is characterized by three key words: flexibility, independence, and absorption in his interest.

And so... It doesn't make sense, which is what I expected. So much for blood type analysis.

Anyways, I'm now going into the 3rd week of my driving course, which includes a short 1.5 day break thanks to christmas. Having passed my public road assessment, I'm now certified to drive class 4 vehicles, and on tuesday I'll be starting on reverse parking for the 3 tonner, and driving on public roads with 3 tonner on saturday. Pray for safety... And by the end of the week I'll be a super pro driver, whee! Class 3 vehicles will be no kick at all.

Getting to know my course mates a lot better... Talking to the malays are pretty fun, cos you'll never know what funny things come out of it. Some of them smoke, yes, but they're learning not to do it in front of me. One thing good about ns (and especially being just a man) is you get to see so many kinds of people, something that you won't get if you're in ocs (cos they'll all be high flyers like you) or if you're a normal civilian.

One thing that I've been getting from my course mates is that I'm nothing like a person from RJC, and I think thats a compliment in more ways than an insult in this case.

The sad thing about this week was that one of my bunk mates went AWOL, which is such a waste. When I compare my ORD date with most of the dudes in the course, they've still got a long way to go (only 3 months into ns). Extending your ORD date just seems really really sad.

1 more month of course left! Yahoo! The past two weeks have been fast, yes?

I've successfully memorised 4 verses, namely Matt 28:19-20, Ps 118:8, Ps 20:7 and Heb 4:12.

Kinda like the one from Hebrews.

"For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart." Heb 4:12

Reminds me that God's word is sovereign over all. Having the bible in camp with me everyday tells me I have the most powerful guide in the entire world, a guide that is living and active.

I'll be back come wednesday afternoon! Don't miss me lol.

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. De...

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.
