Amen.

K. Uh... What should I say? Uh... Youth Day! Was sleepy. I slept till 12, then stoned and stoned and stoned and played the guitar and stoned... Then ate lunch and stoned. Yeah. Something like that. What a way to spend youth day! Bah.

My mom's wallet got stolen... On Wednesday, she went shopping at Tampines. She told me she entered Baleno and she still had her wallet. Then a woman holding a T-shirt bumped into her and the next time she checked her bag, her wallet was gone! ... I was in the MRT when I heard the news. When she told me I was like "What the???" I must've been very loud cos everyone was looking at me. Haha.

Friday was Mufti Day. I wore home clothes! Yay. Actually I could've gone home early, but I stayed back to look at what the Sec3s had prepared for Open House. To tell the truth... The Sec4 batch is stronger at playing. Played chess with Chin Heng. I kinda taught him lots of stuff. The En Passant, the different pieces they had in the past, and of course, the all important crazy queen technique. Haha. Those who play chess with him or me, beware of our queen.

Went to meet the band on Saturday. We had breakfast and tried to think of a band name. My suggestion was Eden-Sol. Eden was where people were once together with God, walking with him. That is our band's mission: to bring everyone back into God's arms. Sol represents our desire to complete God's work. So I thought it was kinda appropriate. Guoren thought of Red Heifer. A heifer is a cow that hasn't given birth yet. It signifies the purity of our God. The red represents his blood, signifying the holy communion and the sacrifice he made for us. We kinda narrowed our choices to Red Heifer and Eden... Any suggestions for a band name? Any comments on our choices?

War of the Worlds... Nothing special, nothing exceeding my expectations. Went to PS with Nat, Fiona, Mark, Paul, Jon, Ernest, Amanda, Char, Shu, Eugene, Martin! Before the movie me and Nat and Mark entered the arcade and exited at the other side. When we came out, Paul was gone! He went into the arcade to look for us actually. So Jon went in to look for Paul, but Paul had already come out of the Arcade by that time. So we had to wait for Jon. Haha.

Ok. We kinda got seperated at the Dhoby Ghaut MRT. Doors closed. So I was with Amanda, Char, Shu and Paul. And Jon, Martin, Nat, Fiona and Mark were on the other train. We met up at City Hall and took the train back. Jon got off first, then Amanda, Char, Shu. Thats strange... How come I don't remember Nat and Fiona getting off? At Clementi Paul and Mark went down from the train so I was talking to Martin a lot.

We kinda talked about lots of stuff, but something very important came out. The fact that we are unique. In this world in which money, fame, wealth, friends, love matters so much, we're both two of the many people that are trying to go against that flow. And I think he's the only one I know who's able to withstand the pull of the world... I kinda feel a special connection with him. We don't have much in common, but this is something that unites us!

I learnt something about myself that night. About why I am more vocal with one person than a group. Simple. I don't wanna leave anyone out of the conversation. For me, its kinda hard to think of topics to discuss that inlcude eveyone. So I just keep quiet. Whereas in a one on one conversation, its easier cos you only need to know some stuff about the person to think of the topic. Hmm... Yups.

I can't come next Sunday! Yes Mel! Its super super sad! Good luck with singing Jesus Generation guys and to the worship team as well! God bless you guys. May the spirit of the YE be seen on the 10th. Let God be seen embodied in everyone of us. May God be glorified on that day! Amen.

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.
