Liberation

So I can finally write a blog post after a long and arduous journey through the last year of uni life. Boy was the last year of it so distracting with drawing me away from God. Just thinking back leaves a rather sour taste in my mouth when I should instead be tasting the sweetness of victory over this phase of my life. Oh well... The last exam ended yesterday, and I decided to leave quick because I really dislike goodbyes... Whilst I was on the way home I decided to be more proactive about maintaining my friendships I've gotten from uni, so I'll do just that!

The other exciting thing was playing drums for main service for the first time on Sunday... To be honest it was nerve wracking and I've never been so tense whilst playing an instrument in a while. And only God knows where I learnt how to play drums because I've never done it before. I can only attribute that to God's grace, Him knowing I need some encouragement by His empowerment. I thank God that things went well as I stepped forward in faith. I hope to never do it again but God has a sense of humour doesn't He!

The last thing is about job applications. I've applied to my first set of 4 jobs all from MSF, and I'm pretty stoked about one of them: the youth guidance officer. This'll be a job that will involve being role models to the teens in the boys and girls homes, and it'll definitely be challenging and rewarding. Really excited! And I'm quite grateful to Jon who recommended it to me, as once I saw it it jumped right out at me compared to all the other options I've been considering. And once again I can only think of it as God's provision and guidance.

Well, time for a little bit of break before I embark on some part time work whilst I wait upon the results of the job applications! I need it! Seems like a large sleep debt has mounted erp.

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...
