Well... My grandpa's out of hospital! Woo hoo! Yipee! Haha! Well. He got admitted out of ICU on Monday, and continued to be admitted out of hospital the following day! Thats the power of prayer! Spiritual warfare... Thank you to those who prayed and God too! Haha!

I went one round round the MRT Track today... My journey... Of course wasn't on foot lah. Maybe it was... But I was on the MRT train as well. My journey was divided into a total of 3 legs, each with its own task and time limit to complete.

On the First Leg, I had to race a total of 12 stops from Bukit Gombak all the way to Bishan, where my first task awaited me. Racing from the MRT station to RI was the easy part. The tough part was still to come. Recieving my task from Wing Chung and Ben Ho, I then proceeded to the library to do research on Organic Chem and complete the writeup about Chem and about half a concept map! The task was difficult, but I persevered! And we went back to Macs for a reward, and then proceeded onto the second leg!

By then, 4 hours had already passed since beginning the race, but I was one hour ahead of schedule! The Second Leg saw me race all the way from Bishan, past City Hall and Raffles Place to Tiong Bahru... After exiting the MRT, the wait for the bus was long and tiring, but the 195 finally came. I eventually came to the site for my second task, Samuel's house! In this task, I had to complete three challenges. First, beat Samuel at least three times at Yu-Gi-Oh, which I easily did. Secondly, complete the physics project (Which Samuel did mostly). Lastly, beat Jing Chong in Fifa 2004. The final task was difficult, as I had forgotten the contols, and Jing Chong was better with those kind of games. Finally, I beat him 2-0, with Germany beating Inter Milan.

The last leg saw me race from Tiong Bahru all the way to Yew Tee, the site of my final challenge. The bus 302 took me to my task, the piano challenge. I had to do a scales test, as well as play an Invention and a piece composed by Beethoven. The Invention was tough, as was the scales test! But I survived, being the first guy in a very very long time to complete a journey around the Red and Green MRT Lines in one day! Woo hoo!

At the end of the day, the reward was to go have a great dinner at the Kopitiam at IMM second floor. The food there rocks, especially the western and japanese fusion stall! And for dessert, I bought a cuppa coffee ice cream with cookies... Which tasted so good...

Haha. Just trying a new style of writing for the stuff above. Haha. I was trying to make boring stuff sound interesting. Zzz...

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.
