reali dislike e form dat arsenal is showing now..3rd consecutive straight loss..it's too hard for fans to take tis kind of results..out of FA,league and European Cup..Out of EPL title race..now not even sure whether can retain dat 4th position n recording e first loss at Emirates..think there's a lot of waking up to do..n re-thinking of strategies..they better do so..if not their form w'd just ctd to slip..relying on playing beautiful football n a group of promising but inexperienced youngsters aint good enough esp for big clubs..a lot more need to be delivered n expected from fans, investors..instead i seem to find more satisfactn in watching chelsea play..there's tis secret admiration for e sheer strength n determinatn dat they are showing..i am bidding them to win e quadrauple..man utd aint dat fantastic esp watching them play e Roma match last wk..gosh..looks like e team is collapsing anytime soon..if not for e presence of Ronaldo..

tink my sowing fervor is coming back..recent wks had seen myself reali tried to come out of e too conditioned comfort zone i noe of to know strangers..make new friends..went back sec sch alumni dinner,met up w social work peers, get to noe guan an,yuanjie's friends, play/watch soccer n sow at e same time..guess it's still veri much e inital stage..hopefully there r some whom i can follow thru..

been in my heart recently to tink abt life purpose..tink it's reali hard for me to tink of going back social work..it can be veri xiong though i'd feel satisfied helping others..questions dat i am tinking of r like: how much help can you really help others? in my current job, i play a part though a small one in creating more sporting opportunities for youths..it's impacting ten,many-fold..compared to say in social work..reali investing in dat limited number..not discrediting e work dat workers r doing..

e more i tink abt it, it makes more sense to me..i am oso tinking of how i can do my part to be well-financed,informed and networked..had been reading e bk i borrowed from swee leong "Rich Dad,Poor Dad"..initially was quite resistant to e idea of tis kind of "get rich" books..dun need money to determine my status n identity yet i cannot ignore e fact dat it has tremendous power esp in clearing our church debts, empowering ppl to do a lot more..dat's e irony there..cos i reali tink dat our community can do a lot more to be more relevant n effective..yet we cannot ignore service to Him..how to find e balance..why should we be playing "catching up" or should i say too comfy or ignorant of current affairs,such things..personally, i do not tink dat is honoring Him much..

e way i see it, at least for me, is dat i want to be more effective, though cannot be at e pinnacle of e sociey..at least keep myself well-connected,informed n financed in small ways..putting all e resources He gave me..to steward all of them well..guess i reali want to see n imagine infinitely, a lot more beyond just service to Him n work..to see how he can maximise my time well every day..to be effective n purposeful..sometimes, tis kind of zealousness could put ppl off n they dun understand..but i feel dat it is necessary..to me, e following is in my heart n mind most of e time
-reading e newspapers is an imperative, a must daily..up-to-the-min updates of breaking news
-exercise n ctd to experience physical breakthrus is impt too to keep myself fit,not to fall sick easily,strength for His work..
-keeping one's mind active..regular reading though sthg hard for me to keep to..
-trying new things of all sorts yet building upon one's strengths,past mistakes n successes..
-investing in ppl, listening n sharing e gd news..another impt priority
-putting my money to gd use..another unexplored area but w'd do
-choosing to stay joyful,grateful n contented r attitudes dat i hope to grow more in

though e future is veri much uncertain for me, at e veri least i should strive to give my veri best to live for Him..nowadays reali find myself no time to tink abt e past..or wish to dwell too much cos there's a lot in e present n future i can hope n strive towards..
