Christianity in Dance Dance Revolution

Thinking of blogging of things that I learned from Engange 08, found out that it’s actually a big task 🙁 Rather than waiting for days to get something written, I might just start with something small, hopefully it will trigger other posts (not necessarily from me)

A rather unimportant thing that I heard from Don Carson’s talk (unimportant in comparison to the rest of his talk) is how “interesting” two of his students were.

Sterling Christian one of the graduates in Master of Divinity from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School is the holder of Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) Guinness World Records. What’s interesting about this is, his combining this unusual skills with evangelism (reading from his online resume).

The other guy apparently holds record for most weight a guy can bench press. Now maybe it’ll take more imagination to combine the ability to bench press with evangelism.. but who knows :).

Now these two guys are no doubt impressive, but our identity as believer is even more impressive as Don explains from Matthew chapter 11.

BTW, I am still waiting for my DDR Supernova, I think it got lost in the mail… sigh.

Way of the Turtle – Curtis M. Faith

Finished reading this book sometimes last week. It’s the story of the most successful Turtle traders, Curtis. You’d heard of the story of Turtle traders if you are into trading.

Usually trading books are full of charts and formulas, so I am bit surprised by the simplicity of the methods outlined in this book. The trading system that Turtle uses is quite simple but Curtis assert that Trend Following system requires a very large fund to start with as you have to consistently follow every signals as well as be involved in several markets (he’s thinking $100k is a bare minimum).

Not sure whether I gained anything practical from the book since I no longer trade.

Book no 13 finished.

Turning 29

I had my 29th birthday yesterday. This year it was a little bit different as I was away at Engage Conference 08 with a bunch of Pelita people.

It was very nice of them getting me cake and all that. Thank you.

Usually me and Lina would go out on a date on my birthday, this year I think our date will be touring the Doulos ship. She’s very excited about it, I don’t know anything much about Doulos but I’m keen to find out more about them.

I also ha’ve been thinking about what should I blog about this birthday. I think I have written down some ideas/points, I just need to make sure that I do get it written.. Otherwise I’ll just settle with this uninspiring post..

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection

I recently bought Street Fighter Anniversary Collection from Amazon.com (tried Australian Ebay, but couldn’t find one for PS2).

All I can say my PS2 controllers sucks (I have 4 controllers and none of them without any problems) and my skills have decreased so much.. sigh. I finished 3rd Strike using Ryu after reducing the difficulty to level 2, I played even worse on SF II.
