Heartbreak

RJGE

Wah yesterday was such a heartbreaking day. (Haha no lah don't worry I didn't get rejected when I asked someone out for valentines day.) Suffering from heart burn now... Super painful! For guitar yesterday, the most horrible thing ever occured.

SYF quota was 50 people. And it so happened that we exceeded the limit by about 10. Over the past few weeks, we held auditions to see whether the people in each section were capable enough of retaining their places in the main ensemble for SYF. For each section, we had to eliminate at least 2 people... = large heartbreak.

I really sincerely wanna see everyone play in SYF, but rules are rules, and 50 is the maximum. So yesterday we announced the results, albeit reluctantly. I do hope no one is offended or angry at the results. And for those who are in, congratulations. For those who are not... Its not that you're lousy or anything. Its just a comparative thing you know? I just want to let you know that we had a tough time deciding, and each name we had to cancel was so painful (for me at least, but I think all the SLs feel the same as well). Really! I'm not exaggerating. I love RJGE that much.

Speaking of RJGE...

I like you....
For helping me with maths. (woah anticlimax)

Say it.
Better.
LOUDER.
With music.
With style.

YE

Patience... Amidst all circumstances. Thats what made me respect Grace all the more when she shared her testimony.

Let me tell you guys about Grace. Grace is one of the students of one of the adult leaders in my youth ministry (YE). Over the past few months, the adult leader (her name's Doris) has been asking us to pray for her. Why? Grace had ovarian cancer. With 2 cysts in both ovaries, and the cancer in the 3rd stage, chances of survival were looking pretty slim.

Even through chemo(therapy), the pain, the monotony, the suffering, she was patient enough to wait on God and wait for the outcome of the situation even though it may take a long time. (In fact she has 6 years more to wait before being considered as completely cleared of cancer) Yes, praise the Lord, she was healed. Her cysts were removed. And she continued living her life of Christ by sharing her testimony with us.

For that, I respect her godliness and her faith, and I guess we should all try our best to build up ours. Whenever things seem to crumble, whenever we have to suffer, whenever we just want to break down and cry... Just be patient. Have faith. And wait on God. If we can learn to do this, NOTHING is impossible. Yup just some general advice for you if you need any haha.

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.
