Arrh.

I just found out that the date of my confirmation clashes with the last day of my judo camp!!

But phew. Break camp at 5. Still some time to rush to my confirmation ceremony at 7 plus.

Whole family's going to be there. Signals the coming of age, the age where i'm sensible enough to make my own decisions. I'll be a man after June 24th... haha, sounds so cliche.

I think i'm ready to confirm my faith in Jesus Christ. I've never felt more definite that He is the one true God, the God in my life. Yep. So now is really a good time to confirm it, to tell everyone that He's the one I chose. Not what my parents, or relatives set out for me to believe.

Bought a Hillsong United cd today. Wanted to try out a different kind of worship music. Definitely something different from what I usually hear. Modern rock style. Maybe I'm too used to the adult Hillsong, Michael W Smith and the Don Moens type of music, the more traditional style, thats why I didn't really 'feel' the album as I did with the others. Well, so long as God likes it, I'm okay.

Back from a judo camp, was really fun, as well as tough. In the sense that the training was really tough, and the meals and 'relac' times were really fun. One of the more 'conscious' camps that I've attended, unlike the others where everything blazes past me in a blur. Got to know my seniors more, and they're really a crazy batch of JCs students. There are bears, monkeys, dogs, rats, hippos, and giraffes. All shapes and sizes.

The first day was really tough, but luckily received lots of 'encouragement' from my friends that energized me to go on for another two.

I expect that the next one will be twice as tough.

Went shopping today, sort of. Took a bus to junction 8, sembawang music. Went looking for Steve Tyrile(sp) and/or Jack Johnson, but to no avail. Looks like I can't rely on sembawang for more exotic and different albums. But, still a good source for jay chous, 50 cents, mcflys and whatnot. Will probably look at HMV or somewhere else.

Its really a different feeling shopping alone. Freedom to go where I want, whenever I want. The feeling of being invisible walking through the crowds. Rocks.

Don't know what to do tomorrow. Nothing seems decided.

Had a great time serving as a bassist in the adult service today. Wonderful feeling as I just shut my eyes and just flowed with the music, worshipping along. The first time I really 'let go' of myself when I serve, and it was really great. Closing my eyes, 'feeling' the music as I played.

What I did might not be perfect at all. I had doubts whether I was being too loud, too soft, too fast, too slow. In the eyes of man it may just be filled with imperfections, but in the eyes of the lord it is as good as it gets.

In the end all that matters is that I got closer to God throughout this experience.

Going for a 3-day judo camp from hell tomorrow.

I will survive!
