S03H

The weekend was a pretty busy one. Started off going jamming with Mam and Vivek, as well as Indra? Did I spell that right? Guess what? We're joining talentime for fun! Its gonna be great cos its the first time I'm trying a slightly new genre for me... Soft rock. With the Beatles and all.

Songs we played:

While My Guitar Gently Weeps ~ The Beatles
Sally Cinnamon ~ The Stone Roses
With Or Without You ~ U2

Had lots of fun playing with that bunch of people. Though playing Eden-Sol is a lot more cooler haha. But just generally having a feel of an entirely new band and new band dynamics was good for me. Learnt some new lingo as well. "Eh DEI!" probably means hey man. Took me this long to figure out haha.

Well here are the pics they requested.


Vivek and Indra? They look super serious here haha.


Mam on the drums! Cool sial (another piece of slang I learnt)...

Emonesss...

Woah this bass is super good.

YE

Wow... Sharing by Sarah was good. I managed to record the entire worship and sharing session! Will try and upload on yeworship... Besides that nothing much really happened, except that I was chionging my piano homework that had to be submitted that day. It was a super rush.

Thanks Rach for the small gift. It really meant a lot to me! Lets continue to be great friends grounded in the faith of God! Take care and God bless!

Guitar

Just yesterday we had guitar orientation. It was very very very fun. Well we started off with ice breakers, literally. Hyqel had me finish this cup of Teh Bing in under 30 seconds so that he could get the ice. So he took a piece of ice, broke it, and the games started. (That was after all the announcements though.)

So we played a few games with the J1s. Let them know a bit about each other... Then we played some ice ice ice ice ice ice ice ice game or something. Great time to check out the dynamics of the new people in RJGE. So finally we played double whacko. Didn't use my powerful strategy though, cos its more effective for single whacko. Managed to funny bomb stuff like sabo Eugene Neo and then when I got whacked I purposely stood near to Yu Sheng to whack him. He kept pushing me away but I kept forcing myself near him. I think it was quite a funny sight. Some J1s were giggling like crazy.

Haha after that I kinda went to the MEP room to audition a few bassists. They did pretty well. Not much to be impressed about, but they were good enough. And besides, they were the only bassists who auditioned so I guess they'll be in.

Went back to guitar just in time for the guitar main ensemble auditions. It was a quite fun experience pressurising people. A few of them were quite impressive, a few of them weren't very good in sight reading and some of them were ultra stressed. But most of them were from RIGE and RGGE, so we let all of them into the main ensemble. Looking forward to next monday! I'll hafta prepare teaching material to teach the newbies who didn't join the senior ensemble. Its gonna be fun! I hope.

Random

Genus 2005

Genus Concert went just fine... NUS Guitar Ensemble is really proded! I want to be like that! Lets see... The guitars I want to master are Acoustic, Bass and Classical! Yeah. Actually this year's Genus concert was a bit interesting. They played a Japanese song and some jazz, but most pieces were classical. The Alto runs were really fast. I could tell that the Guitaron player was good too... Saw Josh there! He was there with his HCJCGE Friends. He was sitting in the row in front of mine. Slept on the bus today and missed the loop. Haha. Well. Had to alight, cross the street and take the bus again. And theres this ulcer right in the middle of my middle lip. It hurts whenever I eat something. But I need my food... Ow. I think the heatiness I get from sleeping less hours caused the ulcer. Looking forward to I-Learning. Can sleep more. Haha. Champions League was crazy. I woke up and went to school to hear the results. ManU Lost 2-0 on aggregate to Ac Milan. Barcelona lost to Chelsea 4-5...

Of God and Demons

Now that'd I've put my last phase of life past me and have some more time to reflect cos I'm C+ for the second time, I feel that it's the correct time to do a bit more reflection about my past, especially the last couple of years. I've always thought that one of the counseling exercises practiced would be helpful for me to process what I've been going through - that is to personify my negative emotions. In a sense to experience that final bit of release from these emotions that have threatened me for a long time. To talk about the inner demons that I've been facing.  Wrath. The fiercest of them all, yet gentlemanly in some ways, calculative in others. People usually imagine wrath to be brawny, in your face and belligerent. But my Wrath is more sinister, sly even. Plotting the downfall of my enemies and using the knowledge that I have to exact vengeance. Over the months I have exerted control of him by reminding myself that only God has the right to judge.

Ride On

Recently things have been going really well. I've had a leadership position in my workplace for almost one year now and it is quite amazing how God has guided throughout the way. Despite this I feel that I have achieved the balance between my work, personal life and I'm in some sort of a flow that makes me satisfied about how things are going. I'm about to transition to another stage of it, and it feels that along the way God has prepared me each and every step. There's a lot to give thanks for.  Things are really cruising along. I've always liked a good, smooth drive and life feels that way at the moment. Its been a long time along a bumpy road but finally things feel right.  Praise be to God who calms the raging seas. Praise be to God who can be counted on for the hardest difficulties in life.  Not sure when the next post be, but I think if things carry on the way they are, more good posts are to come.
