Yups... Can those I sent SMSes to reply? Haha. I've waited for so long...

Friday! All the exciting things start happening. Went for guitar prac, had a real fun time listening to the small groups for the Concert. The Sec2s will have a small group! They're playing a Jay Chou Song... Which reminds me... Although I've been practicing my ensemble pieces, I realise that I haven't done anything about my small group pieces! Oopsy. I'll be playing 8 songs in total? Whoa. Haha. 6 Ensemble and 2 Small group. Maybe even in the band? Haha.

Then went down to Fort Canning. Met up with Paul, Daniel and his friend. Ate BK at PS and then walked to Park Mall. Park Mall's full of furniture shops. Boring... Anyways, climbed our way to the top of Fort Canning, and went in! Yay. Met John, Gerald and Yan Leen. Met Guoren and Gabriel as well... It got dark pretty soon, and the fun started! Planetshakers rocked, everyone was like jumping, lifting their hands, clapping etc. Awesome time of praise. Then it was Sonic Flood! Awesome time of worship. The lead singer shared his testimony about him having a disease that affected his intestines, but he still persevered with the power of the Lord! Awesome.

I took back one thing from there... "This is what worship is... We are living, moving arrows pointing to the Lord..." Even in our daily lives, never stop living a Christ like life. Yups.

Yesterday, went to ROM, which was at Fort Canning as well... Had wedding lunch at one the restarants opposite Bible House at Armenian Street. The Brownies there rocked. The bride and groom were one of my dad's side relatives. The father of the bride and groom were asking us to take a sip of wine. So I took some. Urgh. I vow never to drink wine again.

Then I went to church for pracs. Nice, simple songs. Sandra's playing for the first time! Come support her... Then went for dinner at Great World City. My parent's treat. Teppanyaki at the food court. My request... I didn't want them to spend that much... Went to get the latest Hillsongs disc. They gave a free armband thingy! Haha. Yay.

After that, went to school to run with William Tan, whos trying to break a record for the most distance run in 24 hours. Wow. Somebody breaking a Guiness world record. Right in my school! Sweet. I think I got my picture taken by one of the photographers... Saw Yong Sheng with Wu Lei (I think). Haha. Looks like a couple! Haha. Just joking. Ran 17 rounds, which is 9.8km. Of course I took rests in between. I'm not that good k.

Fun week! Whats even more fun is that... Its my birthday! Obviously. Haha. I'm 16. After all those years... I'm finally 16. Thanks you God! 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.
