Boot Camp

Well, it all passed by in a flash, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

My group won overall for the camp games and amazing race, and also joint top for the dragon boat race! Yay yay. Got 12 $5 starbucks vouchers as a result. That is despite the fact that we were the most relaxed and laid back group. Haha.

Things we did include:
A treetop adventure course
Dragon Boating
3 sessions by pastor Glenn Lim on God's nature and character
2 sessions of team games

But above it all, I've been encouraged by my group members, who have shown me that no matter what the circumstance, what our backgrounds are, how our walk with God has been, He still uses us in awesome, mighty ways to show each other His all encompassing love. Even though we are all sinners, He still shows us His presence in our lives, and that should be more than enough for us.

All around us, the other groups were being so enthusiastic, so hyper and so excited about everything. That in itself is great, but I love what my group did instead. We focused more on what was important, and that was the voice of God, who was telling us things each and every step of the way. And so my role as a group leader I believe, is not just to rally all of them, but to lead them to hear that voice every single day when they come to learn.

I can safely say that I learnt lots of things not only from the sessions, group time and things like that, but each and every activity, just because we calmed down and saw everything with a different perspective. And that, IMO is the most beautiful thing about it all.

SERVE 2010. Full speed ahead. In the name of Christ.

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 ...

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.

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,...
