inciting!

recording of 4th june svc is out! i was juz watching it cuz i couldnt get into d hall dat week.. was standing outside d auditorium due to ppl-overload! LOL. 

anyway d WoG delivered by Pst Kong was simply inciting! it's very true that members shud desire to achieve a balance of spirituality, success in life n love for ppl(not juz in church). n i daresay i'm one of whom still very much in need of such equilibrium. 

i can still rmb d first few yrs of my walk w/ God.. it was so "exciting", full of events to go and juz have loads of fun etc until ard 2005 when i was hit w/ a revelation, tks to d guy who brought me to chc who was also my first cgl. last i heard he left full-time ministry to go into property. so Eric expounded dat i've been so caught up w/ enjoying God's salvation n blessing dat i failed to spread it to others. it was time to step out of my comfort zone & mature in my faith by learning how to serve Jesus to others through my daily life. it wasn't juz abt fellowshiping in d chartered bus to lavender n kallang every week. it wasn't juz abt making so many frens in church etc(yes i still rmb them Su Wee, Shawn Paul Tan, Sky n many more from Bravo n Charlie zone lol). it was time to grow up n bring dis piece of gd news to frens ard me. it's very easy to sing & worship, to give offerings n go for svc/cgm but soul-winning is smth i've been struggling w/ tremendously. i tink this is d next level n i tk God for reminding me of His grace in helping me bring a fren for Easter this yr n seeing him accept Christ for himself. 

it's been a great form of encouragement to me to know dat in spite of d many, many, many stupid mistakes i've made in life, God is still so faithful to me =)

Junior Dos Santos dominated Shane Carwin in UFC 131 in a Heavyweight Fight(30-27, 30-27 & 30-26) to determine who will face Cain Velásquez for d belt. once again it is proven true, speed wins stand ups(even better if added w/ vicious accuracy n incredible stamina). it's wad one of my ex classmates said.. is wad Mike Tyson said.. is wad Bruce Lee confounded too. 

aside from dat, i tink a lot of credit goes to Heavyweight division fighters who can be so quick n yet versatile. cuz it takes more effort to be as fast - in terms of ratio or percentage if there's such a measurement - as a Light/Welterweight. cuz d world in societies as we know is pretty much standard. a cup is a cup.. a chair is a chair.. there is no such thing as bigger cup for bigger ppl n bigger sized food for bigger ppl(which i wont explain further since i dun wanna start gg into economics bla bla). so a person who's much taller or larger than d usual estimate takes less effort in his/her daily life to do stuff. dis translates to d fact dat their body becomes accustomed to such minimal effort dat they hit higher heart rates n use more energy juz by achieving d same strength/stamina/speed/conditioning standards as an average person.

sry if u find it profound but it's juz really basic analysis. i like finding d root reason behind stuff dat happens n it's been like a hobby to me since young. like how u can tell one part of a person's character by knowing which finger he uses to dig his nose. pinky or index? hehe.. altho knowing so much n not being able to disseminate it is useless. which is y we go thru PSLE/O'Level/A'Level/Diploma/Nitec/ Degree/Masters etc. it's NOT d information being processed dat's impt. dat's nt wad d system is for. it's d skills u acquire from processing d intel dat will help u in ur life till u die. it's as true as water quenches thirst & dats juz d way it is. 

Over So Soon . Impacted

my very first outta 10 In-Camp Trainings(ICTs) is now over.. BOOOOO. kinda sad dat it went by so soon tho but dat's cool =) it was a low-key five-&-a-half day thinggy' which ended w/ a mock activation/mobilization, which also ended REALLLY quickly lol. kinda made me feel like i wasted 2 hrs of my time packing my field pack d nite b4, but then again i'm thankful for d trust d inspectors have for us. well wad can i say, we came from a 2-yr-consecutive best battalion 42 Singapore Armoured Regiment, so higher expectations n leniency comes along w/ it even after entering "reservist mode" haha.

well it really did turn out to be loads of freedom in camp, especially for us men as most of d officers n sergeants had slightly more duties to be done(planning/checking equipment/paperwork etc). kudos to them man. we pretty much visited d canteen EVERY DAY n could walk anywhere we wish during admin time as long as we have our headdress on, when not under shelter dat is =P of course, we had to be on time for any training we had like section & vehicle drills, grenade throwing(which i completely suck at sadly), breaching n my own weapon familiarization(M203 as usual). it's a weird feeling knowing that i'll be d first to die in a real war considering I have to be in front bashing thru jungles w/ my parang for my section or simply die from exhaustion of carrying d bangalor torpedo & HE/Illum rounds etc. but it's alright cuz we all have our individual duties so i juz need to focus on being d best 1M203 i can be =) 

i felt happy dat my platoon had a much better bonding this time round n dat i could open up a lil more to ppl i didn't expect to haha. we did several more things together especially when we all went to "lim kopi" on d final nite spending some quality time haha. anyway my current goal for d next 9 yrs till MR is simply to be able to contribute to my platoon, coy or battalion as much as i can whilst not causing any trouble for anyone. it's a realistic dream for me atm n i'm juz glad to know dat my presence dun bring any air of contempt anymore but true delight/comfort.

so tk God ICT ended in time for me to make it for my allocated 1530 hrs svc at JW earlier on. these past few mths have seen a string of powerful n anointed speakers visiting but somehow, Mike Connell's Word stood out to me this season. 

• u may come from a lousy background but it's ur future dat's of greater concern.
• God has amazing plans in store for ur future even when others despise d current u. 
• dun let bitterness toward insensible crowd stop u from achieving ur dreams, release n become great.

aite so i juz finished watching d finale of The Ultimate Fighter Season 13. nth spectacular except dat Tony Ferguson won d six-figure UFC contract as 170lbs welterweight =) cant wait to watch UFC 131 soon when i have d time to spare yup.

Kung Fu Panda 2 . First Reservist

woooo wa! heee ya!! juz watched Kung Fu Panda 2! completely hilarious it is, with a pinch of human values instilled, if u did observe carefully dat is =) InnneR Peaceeeeee.. yess.. 50 yrs =P

-------

so i'll be entering my 1st ever ICT(In-Camp Training), or in other words, Reservist lol. from wad i've heard, it's not as tiresome as NS days. more like a time to rest up n recover from a year of tough employment/school etc etc. i'm guessing more or less these 6 days to be quite relaxed w/ occasional briefings and some light physical training. if d tasks r done quickly, then most of the time will be spent reflecting on wad to improve on when returning to the "outside" world lol.

hmm lets see.. now where did my alarm clock go?

(segment below added 04 June 11)
so i was watching WWE Smackdown n a random thot occurred, is there gonna be a Diva's Tag Team Title coming soon? lol reckon i'd talk abt it since i seldom mention d ladies' side. 

FIRST BLOG POST!

HELLO to my very first post in this new blog!! ^^

took me some effort mentally shifting from my previous original site which was hosted by Friendster. sick of waiting for their xml file of my entire archive so i'll juz start. well now dat i'm here i gotta do it rite.

dear God ty for providing solutions to every challenge U've allowed me to face =)

_______

well i'll need some time to get used to all d features in blogspot so do expect continuous add-ons! in any case, exams for my final semester have ended so it's time to indulge life for a bit!! nt implying dat mugging saps life away tho, studying IS impt n is being used every day by every one - neighbourhood area, roads & eateries frequented, fav' cashier at a hypermarket etc. we all absorb bits of useful information daily n dat's almost equivalent to studying! yup yup so cheers we're all intelligent homo sapiens =)

_______

oh oh.. i recently chanced upon this song abt 3 weeks back, really new n upbeat.. i like!

_______

anywayz, i've been watching LOADS of stuff dat'll completely rock ur world(or butt since u'll literally be glued to ur seat d moment u start). knock urselves out~

first up, I juz completed d entire Season 03 of Star Wars Clone Wars! so sad i wish there was more! but o well. ahh yes! i muz say dat anakin's padawan is juz so cute(btm rite weilding green lightsabre)!! haha

& on to d next is How I Met Your Mother Season 06!!

yes yes, i've been absolutely SLOWW but I am on it so pls forgive me all u social HIMYM fan addicts! previously had to stop at Season 05 abruptly due to skool n some other stuff(smallville, fringe, naruto cough cough).

if i rmb correctly, d gal in black dress in d foreground, Robin, only came after Season 03? tho this eye-candy Canadian is definitely en route to Stardom now i tink, eh =) can't believe i'm still somewhat influenced by Quebec frens i met while playing Utopia n Cronous a long time back. but dat's cool

n next is One Piece !!!

now now, i still like Naruto & Bleach but decided to give this anime a try due to an exodus of fren's recommendations bla bla.. rite now I'm only at episode 124 n i juz can't STOP! basically d main guy u see is called Monkey D. Luffy aka Captain(dun mind Japs they aren't really logical w/ English but their storylines r mind blowing). from left is Miss AllSunday(nt sure if she'll join d crew 'cuz i'm still so far behind grrrr). followed by Usopp d Exaggerator, Vivi d Princess, Sanji d Cook, Nami d Navigator, Roronoa Zoro d Swordsman & Chopper d Medic on d right.

_______

ahh yes I've not missed d weekly-never-failing-to-excite, WWE Raw & Smackdown!! Randy Orton looks really cool now w/ dat eight o-clock shave.. he kinda reminds me of a bunkmate back in my NS days minus d beard haha. n d Mexican flavour Sin Cara is amazing! i'm still waiting to see what heights he can reach considering his impressive debut n matchups. 

oh it was so funny to see Mr. Cole get his face plummeted in his own glass covering by Jerry the King Lawler HAHAH. tho i feel kinda sad dat Booker T's juz letting him run his mouth. seriously, MyPiss(Michael) Cole's lame colloquies can easily be retorted rite off d back of my head. he really shud juz shut up, go back to sports commentary n stop embarrassing himself.

aite now till next time, BYEEEE!! ^^
