My Very First Pool Session!

Still very tired. Not because I don't have enough sleep. Its because I sleep too much now! Thats why I'm here at this early time of morning BLOGging... Haha. Well... My very first pool session...

After the PoP meeting on thursday, me, Paul, Ian, Jon, Gerald and Yan leen went for pool at Ceneleisure. Although it was late and my parents asked me to reach home by 11:00. Bah. Wells. The first game was a double match between me/Paul and Ian/Jon. I had beginners luck. The first two shots I hit, the ball went in. Haha. Then I kept missing after that. We lost cos Paul hit the ball into the wrong pocket or something? I'm not sure. Hah. Played jon once and lost by one ball. Played Yan Leen and lost by 3 balls. Won once and lost twice vs Paul. The first game against Paul, it was 4 balls left for both of us. I hit the black ball into the pocket. I was aiming for the blue ball and then it went in and somehow the black ball did too. Bah. Haha. Paul gave me a chance, and in the end he lost cos he hit the white ball and black ball into the pocket at the same time. He said it was a draw but I count it as a loss. Haha. The second match... Same mistake by Paul. The third match... It was so close! I could have won if I hit that simple shot. But I didn't. Haha. One win in five matches. Haha. Not bad for a beginner though. Gerald kept giving me tips. Thanks!

Came home late. But it was far too late. Almost everyone was sleeping. So I sneaked in... And got caught. Haha. My dad told me not to come home that late again. Or else...

The next day at Easter service, I was sitting with my parents. Kenneth was ok I think. The main thing I focus on every session of Sermon is its applications to life. Focus on something, and the speaker never seems too confusing! The main thing I learnt was about temptation and sacrifice. Like the year before. Haha. Well, it was a reminder...

The PoP concert practice was great! I had fun. Lets see... We played:

Accidentally in Love
Love Song
Superman
Still

And my idol came down! When he came in I was sitting on the amps. Then Tim asked him to play the strings and when he came down and sat beside me I was kinda excited. (Although I didn't show it) When he said that he finally had the chance to listen to my bass playing, I almost flipped. Haha! Actually I figured the bass for Superman late last night cos I didn't sleep. We were doing it in A, so it went A, E, A, Gsharp, E, Gsharp, Fsharp, A, Fsharp, D, E, Fsharp, Gsharp. Repeat. The other parts are relatively simple. They use lots of skip chord notes in the places where the song gets more stonger and reaches its peak. Like Fsharp, Csharp, D. Uh huh. I have to go and figure out Accidentally in Love now. The last time I heard it, the bass wasn't as simple as I practiced it to be... Well. Practice makes perfect. Still is gonna be real strong. Love Song... I dunno. I have to figure out the bass too...

Wanted to go for dinner with Rach, Ian, my idol and Juan. But... You guys know what happened yesterday. Haha. Too bad. Really wanted to. My idol was there. Reached home at 9:30 and watched AI. That lousy woman is finally out. I wonder why she got there in the first place. Then watched survivor. Ulong lost again. Haha. Young uns losing to oldies+gay+super thin guy+women. Haha. Wonder how.

Thanks for wishing me happy Good Friday Shu! Thanks for wishing me a good sleep Rach. Somehow I managed to hear that. Haha! I'll wish all you guys the same! Happy good Friday, Hapy Easter, and happy sleeping. 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. De

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.
