Updates

It has been a long time since I last blog. Now for the updates. For this period of my absence online, I have went through my national service (second last one!!), first paint ball experience, sickness and my first WFL teaching experience.

My national service was a relaxing one. Most of it was preparation and conducting of ranges. There is a change to how the range is to be conducted. Now it is more war-like. Compare to the previous range, this is closer to reality if we really engage enemy. I am glad and proud of such improvement. I hope to see more of such initiative to build up our soldiers to be ready to protect our country when the button is pressed.

Thank God I got marksman (because of team effort) and silver award for my IPPT! My exercise regime works!! I wonder whether I can get Gold next year. Haha.. sounds impossible..

Probably because of the national service, I went to Danga mall with friends and we played archery and paint ball. There isn't much things in Danga mall but archery is quite cheap at RM50 for 150arrows. We had a good time of shooting. And shawn, yeu ann and myself went ahead for paint ball. My first experience there and I ate paint ball within the first 5 min of play. My opponent team was a veteran team. When they are in position, poping my head out means immediate KO. My team were unable to make much advance and we lost. After that, we have a mini game among ourselves and it was quite fun. Yeu ann earned a couple of war scar from Shawn. Next time I will ask more people to go for it. All guys outing to DANGA MALL for PAINT BALL!! haha.. Instead of DOTA, Let's do some real damage in a game of paint ball..

I had fever before I started work again after my national service. In view of the swine flu, I went to consult a doctor to be sure. Thankfully, it was nothing as serious. I was able to resume my work with 1 day of MC. I went to the polyclinic for my consultation. I was glad that the episode of SARS has helped our health care officers to be more ready to handle this new threat. Forms are handled out to be filled, temperature were taken, stickers were given, masks were given as well and a designated area for registration and consultation was given for people like me with symptom of swine flu. Because of this, I took a relatively shorter waiting time for my turn. Praise God.

I had my first teaching session in WFL. It was a humbling experience. I was nervous and appear disorganise and not confident about what I teach. My time and class management wasn't good too. I was really discouraged after that but thank God for my co instructors who were there to give me feedback on what I can do better and what I have done well. I learnt alot from them. My wife gave me alot of support and encouragement along our trip back. She did a good job in easing my heart. Frankly I did think that I am not cut out to teach and wanted to give up teaching in WFL or to large group totally. But to admit defeat isn't what a victorious christian should do and it is a privilege to serve the LORD. I wanted to continue to improve myself to teach better. If I am lacking in knowledge, I will read more. If I am weak in delivery, I will teach more in smaller settings and practice more on my own. Thank God that I have a wife who teach everyday. I can get some tips from her as well. When the privilege comes again, I want to be ready to serve my LORD better. =)

Ok that's all for the moment.
