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.

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.
